Falcon MFD Software for android tablets
-
Currently scratching my head a bit.
So no ERR Logged at all. I was expecting to Maybe see an error once you switchted from ICP to MFD Mode, but apparently not.
Sadly to say I just gave away 10 Android devices I had, cause I don’t do mobile development no more for Real Live work, so I can’t test with other devices on my side for the moment.
Maybe Scratching my head a little bit longer might bring up another idea.

That would be just my luck lol. A one off problem that can’t be solved. As a last ditch effort I’ll post a few more pictures to see if you see anything wrong.
Tablet Start up Screen
What I see when I select MFD with BMS running. I noticed that the top bar with fuel and flares and thing are all showing zero
The ICP Screen. The button all seem to work, but not all of them work the correct things. ICP button 1-9 seem to work correctly and change the screen in BMS, but the screen on the tablet does not change
The Setting on the tablet
The only errors I seem to get on the FalconMFD windows program
Thanks again for all your efforts. I’m about to accept that I’m just not meant to use this lol.

Wood boy
The flare, chaff, and fuel have to be started on the first screen
Start FLIGHT DATA
Touch the above first and it will highlight and then select start icp OR mfd start.
Not sure about others.

His main issue is not reading Flight Data, is that the MFD don’t show the extracted data even so the communication to the Server App is working and don’t show any errors

Bugler is right - when you start server on PC , then start APP on tablet - first you have to “START FLIGHT DATA” … so ONLY then you’ll receive fuel , chf/flr , status bar
Do you have those lines set in “Falcon BMS.cfg” ? - you MUST
Line 119: set g_bExportRTTTextures 1 // This enables the shared texture memory area for HUD/MFDs/HMS/RWR/DED/PFL. This is independent from BMS external window usage Line 120: set g_nRTTExportBatchSize 2 // This determines how often the shared texture memory area (if it is enabled) will be updated (every Nth frame, default is 2) Line 129: set g_bDoubleRTTResolution 1 // Doubles the resolution of the cockpit displays (MFDs, HUD, HMS, RWR, DED, PFL), internal and external
Also - CHECK what keyfile are you using with the Server application on PC …
AAAH,… now I recall… This software is kinda obsolete … What is the problem -> Registry entries for BMS 4.34 … the server doesn’t know for the 4.34 registry … it just CHECKS 4.33 registry …
BUT! … I’ve “bypassed” that problem with a CHEAT - I gave it 4.33 registry , at least what it needs , you don’t need all , just disk location
Note the line where in registry 4.33 key points to 4.34 disk location… CRUCIAL
Try this - Make 4.33 registry key and follow the pictures , you need just disk location for your install … Then “Falcon MFD Server” will KNOW where to look for your config directory and keyfile ,
try this first then we’ll seeCheers

I have a version of the Windows Server part which doesn’t require the registry hack anymore. It just let’s you select 4.34 natively. As I had to change the position of reading the DED/RWR out of the SharedMemoryTexture as well and havn’t had the time to analyze it as well I won’t make this version public at the moment.
If anyone is interseted PM me. I’ll provide a version that just needs to be unzipped so can even be tested alongside an installed version with registry hack
-
any known issues with Android “O” ?
-
Don’t know on O or 8 but the older the better. I have the android part running on 4.0.4 “Ice Cream Sandwich”

good fly guysThank you Komurcu. Nice job :headb:
BTW, Would you know how to make the Briefeing available? I am receveing an error (java.io.file not found….) when open the DATA option.
Again, very usefull APP, even without the Data. Thanks

Hi !
thanks for your software. I don’t achieve to make server reads data from BMS 4.34. I unchecked and checked box in cockpit extraction menu.
I there something else to do ?
The link with tablet works : when I use a button it says on server that the key is not recognized.
And when I launch MFD server I have an error : Index is outside limits
Thanks !

Hi
I finally achieved to make it work (almost)
the only problem I still have is that I lost very often the AG or TGP MDF, while flight data, map, and other MFD still work. I tried with different refresh time and it’s same.
I don’t see anything in log even on tablet or computer.
Is there a way to solve that ?
thanks

Hello Komurcu,
Thank you for making such a fantastic app for free! It has made flying so much easier, especially when typing in coordinates on the ICP.
I did have to go through a bit of troubleshooting on my own. Perhaps it would be nice to add a troubleshooting section to the installation PDF which includes 1. Checking firewall permission for the server 2. changing all the 0x to 0X in the keyfile in case of ‘key not recognised’ error.I appreciate your time and effort and am looking forward to future development of the application.

most everything works for me except SimSymWheelUp, SimSymWheelDn, SimRetUp, SimRetDn, all wheels for that matter but then again I don’t use them much at all after I set them, also the EWS stuff doesn’t work either but I control them from my other devices. The ICP and RWR work which was my intention of using this so I’m satisfied.
one more thing, any way to get this to stretch or run full screen on a 10.5" Tab?
-
Is there a way to get the left mfd on one tablte and the right mfd on the other tablet, instead of having both on one tablet? I was thinking of somehow attaching the thrustmaster mfds to each tablet. Is that possible?
-
Two issues. First, the app on my computer seems to keep going to 4.33 U1, even though I then click key file, and I go to my keyfile in 4.33U4.
Second issue, is that on my tablet, even after putting in the correct ip address, I get the following error "java.io.FILENOTFoundException/storage/emulated/0/FalconMFD.log(Permission denied)
-
The windows server doesn’t have the 4.34 as selectable version that’s why you would have an 4.33 U1 entry in your registry pointing to your 4.34 install
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Benchmark Sims\Falcon BMS 4.33 U1] "baseDir"="E:\\Spiele\\Falcon BMS 4.34\\Bin\\x64"
or you could try my recompiled portable version (unzip and lauch the FalconMFDServer.exe) which has 4.34 as selectable version

I just downloaded the latest version. I’ve been using this program for a long time, but I had the old version which you had to point to the keyfile in 4.33. Anyway I wanted to uninstall 4.33 so I downloaded the latest version. It all works fine EXCEPT the MFDs on the tablet are displaying as follows:
1. LMFD - showing bottom right hand corner of HUD
2. RMFD - showing bottom left hand corner of HUD.Is there a way to correct this so the MFDs are displayed on the tablet? All the OSBs work etc. Thanks
