Great initiative, thank you. I will follow with interest!

Besides docs in general the iPad would be great for check lists. Like the ins nav mode lesson. Having the procedure at hand is what real pilots do, after a point u will do them by heart.
6 kids… Hero.
I have 2 and some times find it hard to cope with.Στάλθηκε από το MI 5 μου χρησιμοποιώντας Tapatalk

@Red:

that’s what I doAs Red said, there’s an android app called “BMS Kneeboard and Mission Planer” I find pretty helpful. Some features it brings are already present, in a better way, with WDP I believe, but this app has all the updated charts for Korea, together with the interactive map (the one you see on the 2D screen). Pretty helpful for instrumental flights.
There’s another app called “BMS Electronic Flightbag”, it seems to feature most, if not all, the checklists. The only problem is that it’s outdated, so you might not wanna rely on the charts too much and a couple of steps might differ a bit from 4.33 Checklists - Main Volume. -
the problem with all these apps is that they can be quickly outdated
The interactive map always had the latest version (public) and is my main repository for updating. So that one is always correct
Just use the URL from your ipad and you’re done. there is no application per se, but IMHO it’s not needed -

I’ll have to try this out in my Android, thank you!
Ps. But this doesn’t give me TACAN/ILS Departure/Approach charts, right? -
Great write-up, thanks for sharing!
With regard to your “must have” list, may I kindly point out that there are alternatives to TrackIR which cost only a quarter of what TIR sets you short while at the same time being of higher build quality than TIR itself (in my most humble opinion TIR is way overpriced).
Check out the DelanClip for example, use FaceTrackNoIR or OpenTrack with a cheap ps eye cam or a spare webcam if you have one lying around.
All the best, Uwe

Depends on the airfield some are diagrams of the runway others have links to all the charts

Click on any airport, a contextual menu will pop and the charts are linked. Click the chart and it will open in a new window.
Airstrips & DPRK airport (except major ones) only have the airport diagram
the rest have all that’s needed -
Oh to have a moving map display in the jet…
-
…it would be nice to feed a theater map in a common car gps device…

it’s possible in BMS
not easy and a bit heavy on implementation, but possible

-
center of the pink rings, F-16 icon in white whith a blue outline
it’s small but you can see it just in the middle of the altitude box - on the line between FL200 & GNDIt’s CPD on a IPAD with a app making the IPAD an external screen to a computer
Way too heavy to implement, a specific app would be much better and much easier -

I’ve had Track IR 5 for a long time, but agree it is overpriced and there are other, much cheaper alternatives.

Keep it going!
I played this game years ago with a CH Fighterstick and CH Pro Throttle years ago. Brought them back out and found the throttle no longer is detected by windows (opened it up and checked all connections and wires, no luck). Were you playing without a throttle also? How well/terrible does that work?
