well, its not rocket science
just have a 2nd monitorā¦
there, BMS exports the MFDs and DEDā¦ on top of the monitor I have 2 thrustmaster MFDāsā¦ all the other instruments there are exported with MFD extractorā¦ and finally, the ICP stuff on the Ipad is exported with IFlyBMS
-
And the iPad is the only ātouchā in there?
-
I would think soā¦ there isnāt much for ātouchā necessity in the F-16ās instrument panel, and I got most of it on iFlyBMS. Maybe you could put the left/right consoles on the 24" and do a totally no-mouse rampstart?
Shung, curious how you mounted the iPad on the monitor thoughā¦ and the MFDs too for that matter. I got mine double-sided taped to the monitor, but that is taped along two edges so it just flexes a bit when I use the OSBs that are away from the edge, but the MFDs donāt touch the monitor surface.
-
the iPad, and of course all the MFDās OSBās
All the other things are āinstrumentsā which arent meant to be anything else or be touched, anyway.
the montinor is on a slight slopeā¦ id say something like 15Ā°ā¦ so everything stays there by gravityā¦ they cant move left or right, because as you see the hooks that are holding the monitor to m aker barnes cockpit are blocking them.
the Ipad (and its griffith neoprene case) just stands above the mfdās, and the added weight helps keping the mfds rock steadyā¦
everthing touches the monitor, but doesnt damage it at all anywayā¦

Made a donation for this perfect app.

Just bought an iPad, and Iām uber-willing to test this baby, or else, just let me know where to pay
-
canāt wait for the releaseā¦i already bought the MFDās but am really waiting for the clickable ICP.
nothing is more frustrating than having to let go of the stick when egressing at 500 ft while dodging SAMās just because i need the mouse to change STPā¦ -
The wait is almost over guys. Iāve released a test version a few weeks ago and I think it is almost ready for public distribution. Just a few tweaks on the instruction manual to make sure everything goes smoothly during the install, then maybe a horizontal version for those who prefer flying that way. I will do the refining of the manual, but the horizontal version will be done later. Unfortunately, I have not been able to do much work on the other parts of the guide (RWR symbols, threat guides) since I donāt have much time between work and family.
I am on annual leave next week so hopefully I can do what needs to be done then, and release before the weekend so that you guys can have fun with iFlyBMS over your weekend flights.
To those with extra funds burning a hole in your pocket, donations are highly appreciated. You will find a link on my blog page (is it not working?), or hit me up with a PM. To those with no money, I am providing iFlyBMS for free although you will need to purchase an iPad app to use it.

iFlyBMS is now ready for public release! Enjoy!

Hi -Ice,
Great news. Thanks.
News has been posted, with some delay, on the FlightSimCommunity Facebook portal. -
I feel like saying thanks to myself, but Thanks!

Just gave it a go, unfortunately Iām having trouble with the key file, especially the ICP keys which you use are the radar cursor keys and so on, thatās screwing with my X52 config. Is there a way to reassign some of the keys in iFlyBMS?
For exaple, default ICP keys are Ctrl+Num1, Ctrl+Num2 and so on, and Iād like to keep those since they are toggle buttons and wonāt have a sync problem like the landing gear handle doesā¦Thanks for the great work though, Iām sure it will progress into a great piece of equipment
-
Nice work -Ice. Itās good to have some variety out there.
For those wanting a photo-realistic ICP which works on iPhone or iPad just click on the link in my sig.
In answer to some of the questions re MFDs you can do it on an iPad but itās a more involved process to get it working and theyāre obviously a bit smaller than the actual MFDs. Iāve tried both scenarios and I personally prefer using the iPad for input only as an ICP. The iPhone will work just the same but you obviously need to be very accurate when pressing the much smaller (virtual) buttons.

What it looks like in action.

Is there any way to have the MFDās on the Ipad? That would be really amazing.

There are a couple of options out there, but they havenāt been commented on in some time. Check the Input Devices -> Touchscreens forum.
Cheers!

I ended up getting an iPad for college. So I need to figure out which app for BMS is the bestā¦

Greetings Ice,
I was looking at your video and noticed that you have your MFDās mounted to your monitor. Iād like to do that with my Thrusmaster MFDās and have the MFD display inside them. How did you mount those to your monitor?
Thanks,
-Matt

Ice, thanks for this great tool. Youāve done a magnificent job. Now waiting for the next version, with horizontal display, maybe ?
