Falcon MFD Software for android tablets
-
Wow, this is cool stuff!
I installed it, followed the documentation (i think) and got it nearly working:
Tablet is connected, MFDs are visible and update well, but pressing the buttons has no effect.
The incoming msg list says “(SimCBEOSB_20L) Key Does Not Match”
But i don’t know with what to match it?
The corresponding part of the documentation saysTo ensure all the buttons and switches are working properly on the App, test each one and make sure the
correct keyfile command shows on the Server “incoming msg list”.- If not, make the appropriate changes to your keyfile (thru BMS or other means) and reload the keyfile in the “Server”. Keep doing this until you are statisfied that all buttons and switches are working properly.
But it isn’t mentioned what the appropriate changes are?!
Any help?
I read the first page and documentation but this thread has over 100 pages which i didn’t all read. Sorry if this has already been explained. -
Ok, finally reading back some pages in the thread, i got my problem solved by replacing “0x” with “0X” in the key file. And reloading everything. Seeing that this is a recurring issue, it would be good idea to note this on the first page of this post i think.
Another smaller issue i see: When turning (for example) the ECM program knob on the tablet app, it turns on PC cockpit, but when turning on PC cockpit it does NOT turn on tablet app.
Is this a known limitation?
Not so much a big deal, but it would have been perfect if both were always in sync.Anyway, it’s very good app!
Many thanks! -

Many thanks!Currently, that is the way it is working. I personally stay away from using the cockpit switch and then using the tablet switch…it will get out of sync. I am curious to see what Komurcu will say…

One more thing: the top line readouts for fuel flow, total fuel, chaff, flares and AB state do not update on the tablet. Any ideas?

yes you should enable it on first screen
press Start Flight Data button

Ok, got that, thanks.
One suggestion for improvement of the map feature:
How about an option to have a moving map centered on the aircraft position?
UI-suggestion:- Tap anywhere on the map -> map gets stationary. You can scroll it. (as currently)
- Tap on the aircraft symbol -> Center map on aircraft and map moves with aircraft.
That would be awesome!

That’s what you can get with Komurku program
Thank you man

I have got a little problem here. I have installed FalconMFDServer (3.5.0.0) on my PC. The only thing which does not seem to work is to save the IP of my tablet. I put it in the IP of my tablet, but Server does not save it. When I reopen I always have 192.168.56.101 in it again. I’m running it as Admin. And if I enter my IP and try to message the tablet, it gives an error reaching it. Is there something on Windows 10 which might be blocking it?

The IP on the server is what your tablet app IP needs to match. In other words, do not change the server IP address…only change the IP on the tablet to match the server…then save the change on the tablet app. Once you close the app on the tablet and restart it, the IP on the tablet should still match the IP address on the server.

Thanks. Yes thats what I’m doing. The app works fine and accepts the servers IP. But on the PC program, if I put the tablets IP in it, I can’t message the app. And if I close and restart the PC program it always jumps back to the same wrong IP, which is not the one the tablet has as you can see in the picture

Try this. Skip the testing and just run the server and the app (with the server and the app’s IPs matching). What happens then? I am guessing you have already followed the instructions on the MFD picture on the server.

Thanks. Yes I forgot that BMS has to be running already before the server can communicate with the app. So it does not work perfectly reliable, but finally it worked. But now there is the next issue. While the MFDs content is displayed correctly on the app, I cant use the touch screen MFD buttons on the app. I hear the click and see the buttons being pressed on the app, but in the BMS cockpit nothing happens. I still can use in the cockpit the mouse to click MFD buttons, which also changes the modes in the BMS cockpit and the app accordingly, but not on the app. Any ideas?

Good to hear you are making progress. PM me your email address. I will send you my keyfile.

Hey,
I have some issues with this app, just wondering if you have the same and if anything can be done about it.
For information, I’m using this on a Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 SM-T530.#1: Buttons not aligned with text
The buttons are visually slightly off vertically on the sides.
See screenshot.#2: Hard to see SOI
It is very hard to tell which MFD is current SOI.There is the “NO SOI” indication of course, but it is lacking a visual feedback for which MFD is SOI as the white border is there all the time. (It is only slightly thicker on the SOI MFD)
Could you do something to make this more obvious?
For example remove the white border entirely on MFD that is NOT SOI?(I already contacted komurcu some time ago for the above points to tell him, but just want to check if you guys have same issues)
#3: Frequent lag
The display shows frequent and important (>2s) refresh lag at times rendering it somewhat useless in critical situations (eg locking targets on TGP or WPN).
Now this might be due to a bad Wifi connection of course.
I’m just wondering if there could be any other reasons?
Will TGP- or WPN-video require more bandwidth than say simple FCR or SMS pages?
Could PC CPU load be an issue?
Would it improve things if i connected the tablet via cabled Ethernet (with USB adapter) or is there some other bottleneck?regards,

Hi,
Thanks for the great app.
I´m playing 4.33(U4). Everything works fine, i just don´t know how to put SP, lines and threats like in this picture.
Does anyone have a clue? -
