Direct driver load

[Alpin-Flier]

Hi Roar

I am on the final for my B737 homecockpit. Since I have several programs to load after P3D to connect hardware and software, I am looking for an automised start sequence. I use the very versatile AHK program for that. I am quite successful with it, but now I have a problem, when I try to load the NGX driver. I cannot use the standard OC4BAv4, because I cannot operate the B737NGX window/button from the AHK. So I tried to load sioc.exe, then with or without a short delay the OCP4NGX.exe. I tried it also the other way, but I get always the following error:

Error # 2: Connect to SIOC failure, might be a fire wall....

I declared all involved programs for free in the firewall, but this does not help. By the way, this is my AHK script, that allows start and stop interconnection by control-n and control-m:

DetectHiddenWindows, On
^n::
run C:\SIOC\sioc.exe
sleep 1000 ;delay of 1 sec
run C:\SIOC\OCP4NGX.exe
run C:\SIMIO\SC-PASCAL7\Projects\B737NGX.exe
run .... ;other programs, e.g. motion control
return

^m::
winclose SIOC ; closes also OCP4NGX
winclose SC-PASCAL
run C:\SIMIO\SC-PASCAL7\Projects\AnzeigenAus.exe
sleep 1000
winclose SC-PASCAL
....
return

Any idea, what goes wrong? Or is there another (better) way to make the driver work? Any help is most appreciated.
Best regards

Hi Roar and all

In the meantime I had a closer look to the run command in AHK:
Run, Target [, WorkingDir, Max|Min|Hide|UseErrorLevel, OutputVarPID]

And now it is clear. I have to specify the WorkingDir, separated by a comma, then everything works fine. See the working code snippet:

run C:\SIOC\sioc.exe, C:\SIOC
run C:\SIOC\OCP4NGX.exe, C:\SIOC

Sorry for disturbing...
Best regards
