IFlyBMS
-
btw, what is this zero config thing you are talking about ?
im desperate… flying without IflyBMS is just NOT POSSIBLE anymore
-
Ok… I have no freaking idea what did it, but I rebooted the modem router, and also pluged a second RJ45 between it and the wifi router, and now it works again…!!!
too bad I have to go back at my airbase tonight (Payerne) or I would have loved to make a BMS flight tonight…
I lost my whole day on this…
oh well, it works again !
Thx again Ice, this is an awesome add on !
-
No worries, I am glad you got it working again. To be honest, it’s a pity I’m having to put this project to the side, though I’m glad to have helped some people enjoy their iPads with BMS.
Anyway, I guess one culprit is having TWO sources for internet connection.

Hey… I keep struggling with I flyBMS
I can now connect and use it for a minute or so, but then i get command time outs, and then it cant reconnect to the server.
the only solution seems to launch both server and app again, but then it happends all over again.
I tried updating to the last version, wich is 5.7…. seems like in this version, the switches of Ifly BMS arent moving either.
Any chance that you could look into it ICE ?
its awfull not having IflyBMS anymore…

Hello Shung,
A quick connect shows thing still working. I got version 5.6.0 on my PC but the newest version is installed on the iPad. I see Dave has updated Touch Control 3x since then… I’ve uploaded TC version 5.6 here, download it, uninstall and delete everything you have locally, then install v5.6 again.
Good luk!
EDIT: Noticed the switches are not moving as well for my iPad. Clicking the FlightBag icon doesn’t bring me back to the main screen as well. Might need to ask Dave about this. The switches should still be working as before though, as I’ve seen the Master Arm, Laser Arm, CAT switch and Slap switch still functioning. Same for the ICP buttons.
-
thanks for your time Ice !
just one thing I am not sure about…
I obviously cant downgrade the version on the Ipad, and I am not sure how it would work with a 5.6 on the PC and a IPad app in 5.7…
I confirm. everything is still working though. the switches just dont move visually anymore.
-
Yeah, no idea about downgrading the iPad version, but I lost the old version when the new iOS came out, so I got stuck with the new version now. However, if the switches aren’t animating on 5.7 and the same issue arises with 5.6.0, then something is definitely wrong somewhere. However, I’ve not touched this program in months so I’ve sent Dave an email asking why this is happening. If he can give me a straight answer, I’ll see what needs to be done to fix it. Having a working iPad switch but having to visually confirm in the cockpit is a pain.
Are you still having that connection problems with 5.6.0?
-
I worked out my connection problems. It was not Touch control or I fly BMS related, but networking related.
However, I am now stuck in 5.7 version, and of course, the switches are not animated anymore ! It would be great if we could work this out !
I could downgrade the server version, but of course not the Ipad app….
-
Hey Shung! Dave just got back to me and he confirms it is a problem with the iPad-side of TouchControl. PM me your email address and we’ll sort you out with a temporary “beta” version that should fix the problems.
-
Awesome !!!
PM sent !
thank you for your support !

Hi I tried to get this nice tool working on my Ipad2. The installation runs well, server is up, connection between server and client is okay. When I start a resync the tool copies all the needed switches and graphics. When I enter the tool on my Ipad the trouble begins. Missing fields and no way to leave any section, there are no buttons in the upper status bar and some points are simply blue.
Can somebody help me?
Cheers
Snapper

Known bug, Snapper. Unfortunately the problem lies with the iPad version of the program. A fix is in the works and should be released soon. Hang in there!
-
Ahh okay thx…:o
-
Dave arnold gave me a beta, and the 5.2.007 version is now working fine.
I hope he will make it official soon
-
Same problem here. Do you think I could also get a functioning beta?
-
I am hoping that Dave Arnold will be releasing it as standard version soon.
My beta will expire in 36 days.
I just cant give it to you, as you must have a testflight account, and be validated by Dave. It installs directly, without the appstore or itunes.
i’ve tried contacting Dave lately, but he hasnt been answering for a week
-
Thx, Shung. Don’t worry I’ll try to be patient
-
Hang in there Judy. Had you contacted me earlier, I would’ve given your email to Dave too… but at this point it’s probably best to wait. Sorry about that, but that’s how it goes unfortunately.

Don’t be sorry, Ice. I’m already very grateful and happy with iFlyBMS as it is. It can only be better.
Thx. -
Made a little update to IflyBMS, just for me, but I can share if ICE agrees… you may have to update your keystroke file for callbacks though, because i modified a couple of inputs sent… (for example i fixed the ICP SYM (working with F7 and F8 now, as well as the RET DEPR rotary)
As i use the Ipad on a horizontal mode, i wasnt satisfied with having to scroll up and down in IflyBMS ICP to find certain controls… Ice told me he would make one, but he obviously has been busy So, with my little knowledge of touch control, i fooled around until i understood a little how it works… I havent understand a lot yet, but still i was able to empirically manage to create a working, new version of the ICP, in horizontal mode.
This is what it looks like
and you just have to scroll down to find the charts link, and the DATA card link. I was out of room, and I felt these didnt belong directly on my cockpit anyway… Another compromise is that I had to place the F-ACK button somewhere on the ICP, where you dont have any active control anyway.
thanks for this great software Ice !!!
