Did you try changing your rate on the App setting screen? PM or call if necessary.

i have it running and when i go ‘testing part’ and ‘send msg to android’ and ‘send img to android’ all is well.
so do i turn off testing part next and run bms?
when i launch bms, the server on the pc immediately dies. is this normal? after than nothing seem to work on the android side. i guess i’m missing something here?
i’ve tried both exiting and not exiting the testing screen, same result, as soon as the game loads, the server quits.
one important note, i think i skipped step 11b
Step 11 ‐ b: Important, start Falcon BMS and go into the cockpit first. After entering the cockpit, select the “Start Reading Falcon MFD” button. You should see the following screen
i have no idea what to do here. what does it mean “start Falcon BMS and go into the cockpit first”? i started the game and went into a tactical engagement but the server crashed.

just execute FalconMFDServer.exe file

i changed the update time on the android device and there is still lag makes moving the curser rather hard as its laggy
My main pc is wired but the android device is via wifi off course
is there no way to allow data transfer via USB as it would help ?

just execute FalconMFDServer.exe file
thanks, that works.
but i have the same problem, as soon as i go to takeoff in bms, the server on the pc dies. any ideas?
also, i am the owner/developer of some music teaching software called tabtrax http://2112design.com/
i wrote a feature that allows the user on the pc to send music scores automatically to tabtrax running on android. the pc server side automatically discovers android devices running the tabtrax client on any android device on the local network. no need to enter ip address, its fully automatic and works well. if you are interested i can give you the c++ and java code
thanks for all your work on this, steve

i found a couple of problems, first off, i selected bms.key on the MFD server but forgot i had keystrokes.key in bms, so i tried to change the server to bms.key but it complained about unassigned keys (even though its a statdard installation)
so i change bms to use keystroke.key and that helps
then i tried starting bms and going to the tactical engagement screen
then start the server and then start android app
then go server testing mode and enter android ip
then check msg and img, both ok
then press read ‘start reading falcon mfd’
then in bms, takeoffnow one time i did this and the buttons on the android became active, would switch the mfds etc. but there was nothing coming back to the android, the mfd displays were not updated.
i’ve also tried the following.
start bms, go launch, tactical mission, 03 - landing, commit, in ‘mission schedule’ screen
start server
start android app
server testing mode, enter ip, send msg an img, ok
press ‘start reading falcon mfd’ (nothing happens in server)
in bms takoff
in flight, buttons on android are active but mfd display not updatedcan someone please given me a step my step guide as to the exact order to start off the server, the android ap and bms. i’ve read the docs 20 times but can’t figure it out
thanks, steve

Firstl you dont need to press any button on Testing Part.
run apk on android , enter setting parts and change ip with your server ip.
than close apk , and start again.
If every thing is okey you should see green light on server (Lf MFD Active . . .)But you have a bigger problem.
press ‘start reading falcon mfd’ (nothing happens in server)
Server can not read your Falcon Data.
Which operating system using. -
win 8.1
i start the server, then i start the apk, then the 3 greens light on the server, so its connected right?
but there is no button '‘start reading falcon mfd’ on the server startup screen, the only place i’ve seen that is on the testing
part pageplease explain exactly what order i should be doing things,
thanks for all your help, steve

i just start server
start apk
start falcon
start mission and it worksI dont click start reading falcon mfd etc it just works for me
Did you set the falcon.CFG as per manual to allow texture sharing?
-
you dont need press any button on server.
just run and minimize.but if you want to test server if it read data or not
dont run apk on tablet.
run falcon bms enter and mission start flying and minimize falcon BMS 4.32
then
run server and open test part and press “start readind falcon MFD”
if you get both MFD ICP and RWR in box server is working properlyalso
thanks stk2008i just start server
start apk
start falcon
start mission and it worksI dont click start reading falcon mfd etc it just works for me

komurcu thanks for the app mate its great
did you see my message about a possible wired version though USB?
Or is this not possible?Thanks
edit ummm it might be that the curser movement on me android is slow because I noticed that when I have fcr and TGP running I am only getting 22fps that is why its laggy maybe?
how can I get more fps but not loose to much eye candy?
though saying that the curser movement on the actual computer screen is smooth even with 22 fps? its just laggy and slow on me android screen even if I set update time to 50 and not 100
-
i tried your way,
i just start server -OK
start apk -OK (3 green on server indicate connected ok right?)
start falcon - OK
start mission and it works - (no, the server quits and then shortly after that, the apk tells me connection to server lost)maybe its a win 8.1 problem?
I dont click start reading falcon mfd etc it just works for me
Did you set the falcon.CFG as per manual to allow texture sharing? YES
-
yeah got to be win 8.1 do you have any anti virus running disabled UFC etc run mfd server as admin BTW try that
all so on first start up of server mfd you get a pop up to allow it through fire wall did you allow it to do so?
-
this is not
maybe its a win 8.1 problem?
i am also using win 8.1
So , lets test is server working or not.
pls run falcon BMS open any mission
and minimize it.
run SERVER enter test part
and press “Start reading falcon MFD” Button
and tell me what happened
