Falcon MFD Software for android tablets
-
…although I had some issues after initially getting it to work. Everything was working except for the values along the very top bar like fuel flow but after being in and out of BMS a few times, the MFDs screens started lagging a fair bit in updating (the left more than the right at first) while the MFD buttons still worked really quick. Eventually the MFD screens stopped working altogether after trying to play around with resetting the MFD server and app on the tablet. Funnily enough I got the top bar values working but the MFD screens would only ever show the initial image and never update again for the entire flight, yet all the buttons worked fine…
So, I ended up popping home at lunch and testing it with the android tablet reset to factory settings and version 1.7.1 of the MFD app installed:
- started the MFD server
- opened the tablet app, set the server IP (since I had reinstalled the app), saved and quit
- opened the tablet app, closed the initial prompt and waited, none of the lights turned green on the server (yet the simple instructions said they would)
- closed the tablet app, reopened it and pressed each of the “Start on…” and “Start…” buttons () which subsequently started turning various lights green on the server
- opened BMS and flew several TEs and did some dogfighting for over an hour, the tablet MFDs and everything else in the tablet app worked flawlessly the entire time
This is the first time that everything worked at the same time in the tablet app and I never ran into the MFD display lag / freezing issues I had last night. I believe the freezing may have been resolved by resetting my tablet back to factory and disabling everything bar the essentials to run the Android OS and the MFD app as the tablet itself beforehand was quite inconsistent in it’s performance in it’s use with other apps. So now I’m pretty much relegating it to BMS use only so it will only ever have the MFD app and the Electronic Flightbag installed.
I think getting everything in the app to connect to the server properly needs a fresh instance of the server with a fresh instance of the app which you then click each of the “Start on…” and “Start…” buttons to connect in each of the individual cockpit display extractions before starting BMS (going of my troubleshooting last night and today). I can see in reading the simple instructions for two tablets the “Start on…” buttons are meant to preference which mode the app starts in when opening on each tablet but I couldn’t seem to get the MFDs to work properly until clicking both of these mode buttons today before even getting into BMS.
Please correct me if I am wrong on any of this, it’s just what I’ve found from my experiences so far in using the software. In having trouble with it initially, I have tried as part of my troubleshooting to follow the instructions to the letter but I kept getting different outcomes than what was documented to happen. I think this indicates a review of the official doco could be beneficial to anyone trying to set this up for the first time like myself.

I have problems with my network connections. I don’t know why, but I often can’t connect my PC and the tablet. Neither I can’t connect my PC with the other PC I have. It seems that my wireless LAN is not functioning
The strange thing is that every device I have goes in Internet without a problem, but they can’t ping each others.
Any thought? -

U r on the right track … this way one can have 2mfd and icp functionality at the same time with just 2 tablets…That is the way I am currently using the old version. One tablet MFDs and the other ICP.
