Interfacing External Applications/Sim Devices

[Finder 10]

Hi,

I’m new to the forum and to BI Game Engines and I’m pretty excited about what I’m seeing. I’m interested in interfacing ArmA (or whatever engine I need – VBS2 ???) with external simulated devices that have 3/6DoF tracking and simple button logic. With other game engines (e.g. Unity3D) I’ve interfaced to those engines via simple Ethernet UDP Sockets. However, I’ve not been able to find any documentation suggesting that ArmA (or ArmA 2) has this capability. Does ArmA (or ArmA 2, VBS, etc…) have the capability to interface with external applications, and if so, can somebody please point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance!!!

I am also looking to find any information about an external interface for ARMA 3.

Thanks!
