hi,
I just adquired a Lenovo Tablet (Yoga Tab 3 plus) and I followed all the instructions from the file: “Installation(En) Update 1(2).pdf”. But Unfortunaletly I am not abe to run the tablet with the Falcon MFD. What the log is showing is the following:

For the tablet: FalconMFD (Ver 1.6.4).apk
For the PC: FalconMFDServer (3.5.0.0).exeAnd I am using Windows10
Can you help me on this? where is the errorr I am making?
Thanks in advance

I am progressing…… After I shut down the PC and reload again the situation improved. I run first the Falcon MFD server but when I run Falcon MFD at the tablet an error appears at the PC screen: “Unable to Connect to IP Adress”, Now the log is not showing errors but I still do not see any data on the tablet screen whe I am running BMS
-
Did you change the IP address on your tablet to match the Server IP address?
-
Thanks Dracfalcon,
Yes I have both at the PC and the tablet the same IP address at the “IP server”
-
while in the tablet the Client IP is in yellow and I can not change it, the server IP is white and I can modify. If I remember well the instructions says that when you have the right IP server it turns to yellow, but is not my case
-
Post a screenshot of the error. It will help all of us to assist you.
-
This is the error I get
-
please post all screen and send me log file
-
Thanks Komuru. I just sent you a mail with all the the requested info. I was not able to post the screen here, so I sent it as well in the mail.

Hello,
I also have a problem: when pressing certain keys on the tablet I get a ‘key does not match’, e.g.
192.168.2.101 -> (SimCBEOSB_10R) Key Does Not Match
192.168.2.101 -> (SimHmsSymWheelUp) Key Does Not Match- this happens for the OSBs, the JHMCS knob and the CMS Prgm and Mode knobs, also the ICP. All these are present in the keyfile
- when clicking the buttons on the “MFD” on the server program (picture below the error messages) the OSBs call the correct keys in the keyfile, so there must be something between server and tablet
- the MFD are correctly displayed on the tablet, it doesn’t seem to be a connection issue.
- In contrast, autopilot switches DO work:
192.168.2.101 -> ( SimLeftAPDown ) Ctrl + Alt E
192.168.2.101 -> ( SimLeftAPMid ) Ctrl + Alt W
(while typing these I notice that they have spaces between brackets and ‘SimLeft…’ while the ones with ‘key does not match’ do not - could that be a problem?) - I have already done clean re-installs both of the server and the apk, no joy.
Any pointers? Thanks!

PM me your email address. I will send you a keyfile that works for me. Use it to see if you still get the same issues.

The keyfile actually DOES the trick! Thank you very much!!

You are welcome. Now you just have to reassign your HOTAS to my keyfile, or copy the needed info from my keyfile to yours.

Yes, that looks like it - interestingly, those spaces I noticed seem to do with it:
with your keyfile the server’s ‘incomming (sic) Msg. List’ says
192.168.2.101 -> ( SimCBEOSB_19L ) Ctrl + Alt Num9 (ie with spaces)with the other keyfile (BMSfull and Warthog; Morphine modified for U2)
192.168.2.101 -> (SimCBEOSB_19L) Key Does Not Match (ie without spaces)Not quite sure what the reason is but it may lead to the failure…

OK, I’m getting there. Knowing now that it’s the keyfile I had a look and (I think it’s been mentioned on this thread before) one has to switch the small ‘x’ in the keycodes to capital ‘X’, then it works. Then check a second time that no ‘x’ was changed that wasn’t supposed to - the server didn’t like the switch to SimICPNeXt
Still can’t get the EWS Mode and Program knobs to work; haven’t found the correct keycodes yet.
Thanks again for the help, didn’t know where to start…

Are you using my keyfile as is…or did you modify it?
-
I’m using the keyfile I had before, just with the modification as above after I compared it to your keyfile - now it works.

Roger that. I always recommend that all buttons and functions be checked with my keyfile first. Then make changes as necessary. That way, you know that it is not a software or keyfile issue….but rather something happened during the modification process. Good to hear all is well now.

Thank you so much for this great software.
I’m having just one problem - I’m getting a lot of lag on the android tablet.
Reducing the update frequency and changing the server IP address isn’t making any different.
Can anyone suggest a solution? (Or help identify the cause of the problem?)
Thanks!
