Falcon MFD Software for android tablets
-
I also suspected memory issue, probably due to minimize of BMS.
Thanks anyway!Have you tried my recommendation? Also, what version of the Apk are you using?

Have you tried my recommendation? Also, what version of the Apk are you using?
I am using apk version 1.7.1, and what I have tried among many, is closing the application on android and re-opening without success. Everything else works except MFD data.
You faced the same issue and managed to work? -

You faced the same issue and managed to work?I use the Multi-tablet version but have helped others. We have found version 1.7.0 works better. By chance, have you tried that version?

Tested with 1.7.0 also but issue remains, guess it has to do with FalconMFDServer and shared memory.
Additional question, how do you make the briefing screen to operate, always black for me. -
how do you make the briefing screen to operate, always black for me.
Take a screenshot using your keyboard “PrintSysRq” button of any BMS screen. For instance… open the briefing tab… take a screenshot. Then on the tablet… open the briefing screen… and tap the Print screen button. The print screen action within BMS saves a .jpg file of whatever screen you have open in your C:/Falcon BMS 4.32/User/Pictures folder. The tablet Print Screen button will load those pictures in sequence each time you press the button, up to 5 pictures. Make sure you change to 2/5, 3/5, etc, etc to load each one. You will need to keep that folder clean between missions… to correctly load your desired pictures for each mission

Followup. Just tested the software on a used LG LGL39C and except for the lack of an IP address the software seemed to work. It came up fine on that device but with lack of service comes lack of device ip address. When I tried to back out it kept giving me error messages about something not being a constant in com.arifkomurculer.falconmfd.MainAcivity$MessagesName, and gave the close button for the message beneath that. That was the 1.7.1 version, the 1.7.0 wouldn’t allow me to see the save button. komurcu - do you want any more information from me or would you prefer I go radio silent?

I don’t know anything about an LGL39C, but would you please explain “lack of service”?

No longer connected to a carrier. Plan ceased to exhist. No money given to run as phone anymore. Lack of service.
Tried with lgl39c connected to router/wifi setup. It displayed an IP address when I did that - and as such I got it to work briefly. The screen size is small enough that I only saw the upper half of the left MFD - top row of buttons and 3 from the left edge. The window next to fuel said 400 & 320, I’m guessing that is the resolution. I had a MFD with buttons superimposed over the actual screen - like picture in picture, but it was blocking part of the information. Is that supposed to be there, or is it because my screen was so small? The rate of data transmission was about half a second behind what my monitor displayed, but my graphics on screen were showing somewhere in the 30-50 fps range. I’d like to see that lag get less but for a first run it looked great. I’m currently loking into a tablet - what is the smallest I can get away with? In other words is screen size really important or is it more screen resolution that is the deciding factor?

Well…as has already been said more than once in this thread… but I’ll repeat… this program was designed for a 10" android TABLET… not a smartphone… the issues you are stating I’m sure are because of trying to display data on a 3.2" in screen that was designed for a 10"
The model I looked up showed the Android Operating System as “Gingerbread” V2.3 What is yours?
I’m not completely sure here… (perhaps komurcu can confim)… but I beleive it requires a 4.X versionNo longer connected to a carrier. Plan ceased to exhist. No money given to run as phone anymore. Lack of service
If the phone has no connection to the Internet… How is it you expect it to be able to connect to the MFD Server???

-BabiteMy answer would be 10.1 screen size…nothing smaller.

i agree with Dracfalcon

A data plan via a cellular carrier isn’t necessary for wifi access (which is what’s required to connect to the server over one’s local network).
Babite, where are you located? Depending on where you are in the world (i.e., whether they’ll ship to you and for how much), you might look into Chinese tablets like the ones being sold on chinavasion or alibaba. I bought my current cell phone through chinavasion, and I’m very happy with it; specs and build quality are good. They’ve got tablets with specs that rival those of the latest-gen “name brand” tablets that get marketed in the US (where I’m located), and at a fraction of the cost. Or, if you’re in the US, 'tis the season to be watching NewEgg and TigerDirect for deep discounts on 10" tablets, too.

Tried a 9" device that AT FIRST GLANCE looked promising: low price, large screen, LOCALY OBTAINABLE. Found price to be higher - not a member of store x/y/z, resolution not specified on box but in testing was LESS THAN DESIREABLE. 700x400. Back it went, now back to searching online. Still at it, not detered.

-BabiteSkip anything less than 10.1. Make sure you get at least 4.2 or greater operating system. Dual core will work…not necessary to get a Quad core. Online is the best place to get a good tablet at a great price.

It was all I could do Drac… not to reply here… “Get a 10 inch” about 30 times… but decided to behave myself… It just sometimes feels like we’re talking to a wall

Tried yestarday and seems a great software, thank you. But I have issue with keys. When I press a button on my tablet I can see the corresponding keypress on the server-side, but nothing appens in BMS. Also, the airports on the map screen are not aligned with the background image.
Any ideas?

did you assign keys.
if not you should see yellow rows on server (on key list).also for get map data you should press Start Fligt Data and Start Flight Nav. Data buttons
