IFlyBMS
-
Hi Fellows,
I decided to try iflybms and started following well writteninstructions on the pdf I downloaded from http://iflybms.blogspot.co.uk/.
Well the first step is to download touchcontrol. But the website http://www.touch-ir.com/ gives an “404 not found” error. What does that mean? İs the website down? Where else can I download touchcontrol?
Thanks -
The site works fine for me

Great, Shung. Thanks.
BTW, I suppose you know that iPad app for DCS A-10 (http://bit-shift.com/icontroldcs/index.html) that works according to the same principle as iFlyBMS. The difference here is that all switches positions are updated according to their real positions in the game. It might be interesting to have a look at the inside of that app to see how it was done. I would do it myself, but I don’t know how. I’ve purchased that app, though. So if you have any question, don’t hesitate to ask. -
AFAIK, that possibility is achieved due to the way DCS works, which we don’t have in Falcon.

I have some problems in changing iFlyBms calls.
I don’t want to modify my keyfile, so I’m trying to modify iFlyBMS but I’m not able to use calls with “[” and “]” keys.
I’m using an italian keyboard and I have tried with “è” and “+”, with “Alt Gr”+“è” and “Alt Gr”+“+” and also with switching to International USA Keyboard but when I go to BMS iFlyBms doesn’t send the original “[” and “]” keys.
Could someone help me? -
What callbacks are they exactly? Might be easier for you to edit your callback as the AutoHotKey page doesn’t seem to list the bracket keys.
-
Thanks for your answer.
These are the callbacks I have problems with:SimLaserArmOff -1 0 0X1A 5 0 0 1 “MISC Laser Arm Off”
SimArmMasterArm 1097 0 0X1B 5 0 0 1 “MISC Master Arm On”
SimSafeMasterArm 1097 0 0X2B 5 0 0 1 “MISC Master Arm Safe”
imRetUp -1 0 0X1B 2 0 0 1 “ICP RET Up”
SimRetDn -1 0 0X1A 2 0 0 1 “ICP RET Down”
SimCATI -1 0 0X2B 6 0 0 1 “GP CAT I”
SimParkingBrakeOn -1 0 0X1A 6 0 0 1 “GP Parking Brake On”
SimParkingBrakeOff -1 0 0X1B 6 0 0 1 “GP Parking Brake Off”As I’m building a full cockpit replica, iFlyBMS is for me a temporary solution to help me flight now that my pit isn’t complete.
I cannot easily change these callbacks as all the cards are already programmed with them.
I’m quite a noob in programming so any help is appreciated… -
I apologize as I’ve not touched this app for a long time now, so I can only suggest saving your current .key file and making a “temporary solution” .key file as well that will work with iFlyBMS. Use this new .key file then when your final pit is ready, use the old .key file. As you’re throwing switches anyway, there is no need for you to memorize what key combination a certain callback is assigned to, as long as that key combo works, right?

Hi Ice:
Do you have a file that just shows the ICP only?
Thx

Great!!! Thanks Darkman… Much appreciated

Just got hold of this for my iPAD. Excellent work. Really having a great time with this. No lag or problems so far.
Thank you very much -Ice, great value.

Everything is running perfect except the ICP four way switch. The switch doesn’t go back to center position if I switch to one side. It doesn’t matter which side. It isn’t possible to get it back to center position.
Can someone help me?
regards

JuJu, glad you are enjoying it. Wilfried, apologies as I’m not using this program anymore so I can’t remember if it actually goes back to center. Some of the current users may be able to help you more.

I purchased “TouchControl” for Ipad allready, but couldn’t download the “touch-ir”. Any help please?

Click on the Photorealistic iPad ICP link in my sig. It will take you to a post with a link to a Readme file that will take you through the process step by step.
-
Thank you for reply Darkman, I follow the link from your doc but web page “404 Not Found”
-
No idea why then. I’ve just tried it now and it works for me. Maybe your Internet Service Provider is limiting access to box.com?
https://www.box.com/s/aung9ab979m09y3kkp90 is the direct link to the WordPad file.
Edit: Which link? I’ve tried both the links in the doc and they both also work for me.
-
After installed the “HotSpot Shield” links are visible now, thank you Darkman. I downloaded and will try tonight.

Just installed iFlyBMS. I’m having problems with understanding the .key file instructions on exactly what I need to do. A bit lost in the whole key file understanding. I’m using the Saitek X-65F with a custom .key file. Foe example, Ices’s SimLaserArm On is mapped to Shift+L. In my setup, controllers (in the sim) if I press thar key combo I get SimLabels Near. I know some remapping has to be done but don’t know exactly what I need to do. If anyone is using iFly please repost and share any ideas you might have. Thanks
