New free MFD/ICP app to control Falcon BMS from touch devices
-
May I propose, if possible, an HSD -MFD with an underlaying MAP of the theater we fly?
Is this feature real life for F16? Impressive!
-
We should have a moving map in basic BMS by now, I should think…might take some graphics manipulation of the map image, but it should be able to be done.

Yes, that is a rl shot.

A small clarification for the “by now” -part.
I do love this “feature”, I’ve seen it live in the rl bird, used it in the rl sim, and have plenty of high-res proves that is a GREAT SA enhancer. For the ppl stating it is too much data / symbols to project on the small in-game 3D cockpit MFD, I would say, first this is a feature that will benefit users exporting MFD’s to a real-size MFD image projection, where they can clearly benefit from this feature info. Second, you can switch the map on/off with a flick of a switch, returning back to the classical HSD symbology.
As a game feature, I would personally say it is some half hour code work to reflect this in-game by a dev.
BUT. We can all understated that most probably there are other priorities, even if this is a small work, and I am sure there are other dozen new features and ideas that too demand small work too.
I would also think Devs would most probably want this to be done the proper way, meaning that this feature is not on all Viper birds, but only to the latest Block 5x+ / 5xM or upgraded ones, where “+” and “M” meaning Advanced and MMC7000, which is the latest Mission Computer capable of supporting this feature. So along this MMC7000 other “features” are present too on the bird/block, from FCR page symbology updates, to Link16, to numerous new cool stuff. So just maybe it is somewhere on a list (mind) when time comes, in a pack of new features largely representing closer this block capabilities as a whole.But having this feature as optional on an external application extracting data, I don’t see why not from now, not that difficult I presume.

I tried it and on both my devices it did not connect. The sever seems to run ok. I can connect to it with the old MFD app but not yours.
Devices are android and Ipad

Would it be possible to add the RWR texture as well? I really enjoy komurcu’s layout on my A10 tablet, it would be great if your app could emulate that as well.
Thanks for sharing your work!

@Trini: Did Windows firewall ever prompt you on anything when you first ran the server application? Usually it does, and you have to allow it once to bind the port. Can you share your logfile?
-
@hoover: RWR Texture is in the works, but I think I will also have to at least add a rudimentary bezel for it to make it not look completely out of whack. So R/L obligations permitting: 3-4 weeks.
-
@Raptor: I would love to add that as well, tbh, but so far it seemed like it might just make it into the sim. Since I don’t know the roadmap, I am not sure if it’s worth the effort… Once I have some other issues ironed out, I might just give it a shot.

:yo:
-
Yes it prompted me and I checked that it was in the firewall rules to port tcp as well as udp. The server is connecting to komurcu’s android app but your app on my android and IPad are just showing “Discovering server”.
-
@Trini: is it possible that something else is also running on the same ports? Can you attach the first 10 lines or so of the log file? You can just delete it, it will be recreated when you run the server application.

@Trini: that looks like the komercu logfile. Can you make sure to run only one of the server apps for debugging purposes?

Here is another one with from the file after I cleaned out the log. fnkReadCallSign_INI_File Log 1/8/2021 3:40:32 PM target 1 [email protected]@0.000000@-1@Notset fnkReadCallSign_INI_File Log 1/8/2021 3:40:32 PM target 2 [email protected]@0.000000@-1@Notset fnkReadCallSign_INI_File Log 1/8/2021 3:40:32 PM target 3 [email protected]@0.000000@-1@Notset fnkReadCallSign_INI_File Log 1/8/2021 3:40:32 PM target 4 [email protected]@0.000000@-1@Notset fnkReadCallSign_INI_File Log 1/8/2021 3:40:32 PM target 5 [email protected]@0.000000@-1@Notset fnkReadCallSign_INI_File Log 1/8/2021 3:40:32 PM target 6 [email protected]@-3976.000000@-1@ fnkReadCallSign_INI_File Log 1/8/2021 3:40:32 PM target 7 [email protected]@0.000000@-1@Notset fnkReadCallSign_INI_File Log 1/8/2021 3:40:32 PM target 8 [email protected]@0.000000@-1@Notset fnkReadCallSign_INI_File Log 1/8/2021 3:40:32 PM target 9 [email protected]@0.000000@-1@Notset

I found the problem…. :rofl:… I was using the wrong file to start the server
-
@Trini: :bdance: Glad you sorted it out.
-
Here is how my MFDs look…is that correct?
-
What version of BMS is this? 4.34.4? On 4.34 you have to set
set g_bDoubleRTTResolution 1
to make the resolution of the RTT correct for the app. -
4.35 is the version I am using. Also the hud video freezes after sometime. I have this set in the falcon cfg. set g_bExportRTTTextures 1 I will have to add this (set g_bDoubleRTTResolution 1)

Thanks:p
