Is it possible to bring back the button that switches RWR for MFD1/2?

Also, this app has a moving map which gives you all kinds of data about the bases. Have you checked out these features yet?

Hey Deacfalcon,
yes, I use a screenshot of the briefing screen already, but the mentioned kneeboard image is much clearer structured / readable in my opinion.
Secondly the moving map is a great feature to but I do have my problems using it. I miss options like nearest airfield / airstrip or the possibility to enter a steerpoint to display it on there. Picture me missing bingo by a mile and trying to figure out the nearest strip to land and it’s radio frequency did not work out very well.But I just returned to flying the F-16 after about a pause of 10 years. I’ve forgotten so many things and it was F:AF I played at that time.

Have you taken a picture of your data card? As to the map, when you bring it up, you can see the nearest airbase, Select it and it gives you the coordinates to the base…just plug the coordinates in using the ICP.

Have you taken a picture of your data card?
I only took pictures of the briefing screen. I don’t know of a data card inside BMS, only from WDP.
Don’t get me wrong, I am really pleased how the app works right now, I just wanted to give some feedback and ideas.
-
Save your data card in WDP. Take that saved file and put it in your picture folder within Falcon BMS.

Txh in advance1. This apps looks for all images that are in your Falcon BMS picture folder. For example, create a data card within WDP and put it in your Falcon BMS picture folder. Anything you like to view during flight, put it in your picture folder…max 5 I believe. If you have more than 5 images in the folder, remove the ones do not need and put in a safe place…if need for something else.
2. The reason they are not working is due to those commands currently not in your keyfile.

Hi,
very nice job. I’ve just tried it for a portable pit and it works perfectly!
Thank you very much! -
How many tablets are you using since you have a portable pit?
-
@hitman - Did you get your EWS and Autopilot issue worked out?
-
Just did a test on Monday with one tablet and sync rate was very impressive.
-
Hi, I’d used it in a LAN party (20 pilots). I created an Ad-Hoc wifi just for a single tablet to replace MFDs and ICP. It worked very good unless you use TGP. Then it gets slow and sometimes it froze.
Restarting the app solved it a couple of times only.
Anyway, impresive work! -

I noticed that you have 3 tablets. Are you planning on using this software on two tablets eventually?

well I have 3 and I want to use them all
One for ICP
The next 2 I just want to display the mfd content and not the buttons as I now own the cougar mfds and I want to put the tablets behind to display the view.Any best solution to just display on the 2 tablets the mfd? left right separately?
If I use gicuras solution then I will run 2 servers on the same pc where I fly… and I don’t know the impact on my 2 core cpu…

I don’t believe you can use one MFD per tablet…at least at the moment. I currently use one for both MFDs and the other for my ICP.
