Falcon MFD Software for android tablets
-
Hi folks,
does anybody have an idea how to update the DED and RWR textures on the Android app?
As you may be aware I’m working on a cross platform alternative to MFDE server (just the server bit) so I can continue to use the Android app on Linux. So far the entire ICP works, except for the DED and RWR extracted displays (currently I’m only able to read data from the Android app, but not send data to it due to lack of documentation).
I already contacted komurcu about this a few weeks ago but sadly he hasn’t replied yet, so I’d be most grateful if somebody more knowledgeable could shed some light on this. Basically I’d need to read the two textures from BMS’ shared memory and push them to the tablet android app.
Thanks in advance & all the best,
Uwe

Good evening to all of you. I would like to refer to the problem presented to me in IP 2 at the same time from 2 separate Android Systems. On the MFD Falcon server when I run my server, I can see only one entry of an IP. How can I register on the server 2 different IPs thank you very much.

While I’m not running a multi tablet setup I’d guess first you’d need to select the multi tablet mode, then tap on the green button in the top left of the screen, select “SET” from the drop-down and enter your server’s IP address there.
All the best, Uwe

Good day again!! Finally managed to work both Android simultaneously. One is tablet and the other is a mobile phone and they work perfectly !! Without any delay having one on the MFD and the other on the ICP. Thank you very much for the very good work you have done so we can enjoy the bms simulator very good !!!

I just installed FlaconMFD-2 1.6.4 on my Lenovo Tab2 A7 with android 5.0.1. The annoying thing is it doesn’t show the settings tab when running so I cannot enter the server ip. It seems the entire screen is shifted up a bit? Any suggestions?
EDIT: just found it, there’s a small green switch top left now with a SET button… I can see the MFD’s on my tablet now! now I only need to get the keys on the tablet working
EDIT2: as on the previous page A-A and A-G don’t seem to work my the Saitek key file provided on page 1. But otherwise all button presses in on my tablet are registered. The odd thing is that in game none of the button presses are registered? I also made sure I have no yellow or red lines when loading the key file and I use the same keyfile in BMS or course, and there are no 0x but only 0X in the file. Thus when pressing LIST on the ICP, the mfd server correctly shows (SimICPLIST) F4, but no list appears. When I press F4 in BMS itself it brings up the List as expected.

PM me your email address. I will send you my keyfile.

Thanks for sending the keyfile but I got the same result And yes, I also selected the keyfile in BMS and in the Komurcu software and yes I see al the data on my tablet and yes I see all the keypresses registered in the server software, but nothing happens
any other ideas?

So you’re not getting any “you have undefined key” (sic) messages any more when starting the mfde server component?
All the best, Uwe

No, I don’t get any errors or warning when starting the server component. Also no yellow or red lines in the keyfile displayed. And no errors in the log file of the android app.

Hm, it looks like your mfde server is not sending the keypresses on to BMS then. It might be a stupid question, but BMS is the active window when you’re trying? Do the keypresses themselves work (F1, F2 ) in-game?

Yes, the key presses work in BMS and it’s the active window

Sorry, then I’m out of ideas.

It works! I run the mfd server as admin and now everything works what a great app!
Edit: maybe good to mention this on page 1 or in the manual. I did some searching in this thread and it does come up at a certain point, but you will never find it if you don’t know what you’re looking for (like me)

Good to hear…It is a great app.
-
Great to hear you got it working!
Is this app still actively maintained though? Haven’t heard from komurcu in a long time sadly.
All the best, Uwe

Used it with 4.34 on F16, still seems to be good.
-
Any updates planned for 4.34?

How did you get it to work on 4.34? The pc portion of the program on my rig points to my 4.33 install. Is there a way to change this?

Hi ricman,
I made a new keyfile using the 4.34 keyfile (so I could add/change my Warthog HOTAS settings), then from the MFD server I pointed to the new keyfile in the 4.34 user/config folder. I did the same as you initially; I forgot to load the new keyfile. Be aware that you’ll need to change the lower case “x” to upper case as noted earlier in this long thread with a text editor after you use the key file editor (at least that’s how I did it).
All my best,
Rob
