Leavu3

See the official forum thread for more info

Leavu is a software for building home cockpits for DCS Flaming Cliffs. It uses Dcs Remote 2 to communicate with DCS. Leavu currently includes one instrument - a generic MFD with 5 pages:

HSD
RWR
SMS
FCR
INFO

INSTALLATION

Make sure you have java 8 or greater installed
Download dcs-remote2.zip and leavu3.zip
Unzip both where you like
Launch dcs-remote2.jar on your game PC
- Verify a tray icon appears (black square with the text oo DCS inside it)
- Edit static-data.json with your callsign and data link host+group information
Launch leavu3.jar (an MFD should appear)
- Click INF to get to the INFO page and verify Dcs Remote is connected
Make sure you don't expose dcs-remote2's listening port online
- Otherwise anyone can run any lua script inside your DCS game ..
- This is 12340 by default - do NOT expose/forward/open this port online!

FYI: Dcs-Remote will automatically on startup install all required scripts into your DCS installation.

CONFIGURATION

To use it solo on the same PC as DCS, no configuration is needed - however - You can also run it on a separate computer. To run Leavu3 on a different computer than your game PC, unzip the leavu3.zip on your second computer and edit leavu3-cfg.json. Input the ip address of your game PC. NOTE: DCS Remote must be running on your game PC.

Leavu can be configured to connect to a datalink. The datalink server is just a separate instance of dcs-remote2. To configure datalink parameters check your dcs-remote2 folder for the file static-data.json and fill in your parameters for:

data link host
data link port
data link callsign
data link team

By default your datalink host is set to build.culvertsoft.se, team: BLUE_RABBITS, callsign: JarJar

You can also configure parameters for window position, size, AA, update rates, etc. Check the leavu3-cfg.json for a full list of configurable parameters.

WHERE IS THE DATA COMING FROM?

Leavu3 uses dcs-remote2 to inject a data export script into DCS, which then grabs ownship + AI wingman information from the game. In order to display information regarding your human wingmen and their targets, you both need to be connected to the Leavu3 datalink (see above).
