Falcon MFD Software for android tablets
-
@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.

Anyone got their MFD tablets up and running with 4.33 yet?
-
-
Excellent; I’ve installed 4.33 but haven’t had a chance to play around with it much yet. Good to know we won’t have to wait for an updated version of the app/server to get our MFDs working!
-
Roger that.
-
Dear Sir :
The new version 4.33 no these callback command SimEWSProgOne …~ SimEWSProgFour.So it can not used.
-
If you have a keyfile that you used previously for the apk, use it. I just transferred my keyfile to 4.33 and the apk works perfectly.

Same here, quick check yesterday came up with no issues although I don’t recall the mfds working, but the icp worked great.

Did you change “0” to “1” in your BMSconfig folder? Take a look at the server MFD screen for what I am referring to.

That worked for me. Thanks!

You’re welcome. You weren’t the only one.
<–- solemnly raises his hand… “Guilty as charged your honor” :))

I guess I haven’t done that either then. I need to update to a new version anyway, right now I’m still trying to wrap my head around how to generate key files the “Kolbe” way %->
Cheers, Uwe
-
Since I had to generate a new keyfile anyway, I sat down and assigned all the “unassigned” keys to as many free ctr-alt-shift combos I could find.
Now for the first time EVAR, I have no error messages about unassigned keys when starting the server. Phew, better make a backup
I have a question about the briefing / flight plan screens though: Do I simply make a screenshot in order for them to end up in the “Pictures” folder, and will androidmfd pick them up automatically?
All the best & thanks for your great work,
Uwe
EDIT: Could you please add a command line option to start the server window minimized? Right now it maximizes at startup so I have to minimize it manually each time (in fact I wrote a mouse recorder script that does that automatically, still it would be a nice option to have).
-
Ref: Briefing/picture folder… That’s exactly right. Just remember to clean out old pictures before each flight/mission.
Just curious… Why do you minimize the server?
