Falcon MFD Software for android tablets
-
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? -

Just curious… Why do you minimize the server?Hm, it just gets in the way of all the other windows that are open (FTNoIR, VAC and so on). It would be nice if it remembered the previous size and would use that when opening its window. No biggie, just in case the devs run out of ideas for new features
