Toto's Helios BMS Profile WIP

Why are there no MFD buttons around your MFD?
-
@-Ice To make the MFDs larger, I’m going to put invisible buttons on the MFD’s. So the user would tap the actual spot on the MFD they want to manipulate.

Interesting! It’s gonna be tight! I find it hard enough to get the proper MFD button, much less if they’re “invisible.” However, you probably could make the touch area bigger if you’d putting the buttons manually…
-
@-Ice Yeah, I realized the OSB buttons made the MFDs considerably smaller, and with a non-skeuomorphic touchscreen, there was no need to actually HAVE buttons if the user can simply press the word on the MFD itself. This approach allowed me to make the MFDs 30-40% larger without sacrificing space for other buttons. And because I can make the invisible buttons as large as I want they should be relatively easy to press… We’ll see how it works in execution though! I’m not 100% positive I can code it correctly.
-
Shouldn’t be too hard to do! Actually, that gives me an idea…. I hope you don’t mind me copying this technique onto my MFD. I’ll still keep the MFD frame but at least I can make the “touch area” of the buttons bigger.

Yeah man, sounds good. I decided to go the non-skeuomorphic route because yours is already so good, no need to reinvent the wheel! I got the inspiration for v0.2 of my profile from the F-35 cockpit touchscreen interface.

Currently turning the concept art into graphics. Then I’ll have to build the profile and code it. I hope to have it done in February, but no promises.

Hi Toto are you still working on it?

Hi Toto are you still working on it?
Currently on hiatus due to RL. Hope to get back to it this summer.
