Option 1: Use dofile to Load Pelican Before Sanitization

To use Pelican in the MSE, you will need to load your lua script using dofile before DCS sanitizes the environment.

This file is located in the Scripts folder of your DCS World installation, for example:

-- C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Scripts\MissionScripting.lua

--Initialization script for the Mission lua Environment (SSE)

dofile("Scripts/ScriptingSystem.lua")

dofile(lfs.writedir() .. "/Scripts/PelicanTestMission.lua")

--Sanitize Mission Scripting environment
--This makes unavailable some unsecure functions.
--Mission downloaded from server to client may contain potentialy harmful lua code that may use these functions.
--You can remove the code below and make availble these functions at your own risk.

local function sanitizeModule(name)
    _G[name] = nil
    package.loaded[name] = nil
end

do
    sanitizeModule("os")
    sanitizeModule("io")
    sanitizeModule("lfs")
    _G["require"] = nil
    _G["loadlib"] = nil
    _G["package"] = nil
end
