New free MFD/ICP app to control Falcon BMS from touch devices
-
@pyhg Yes, the new one-device-per-screen layout will expand to fit your entire screen.
Good to hear you got it working with the standard love2d apk, this means my instructions in the README were somewhat understandable.
I will release a new version with the predefined layouts as soon as I find the time. I might also add an option to load one (or multiple) layout from the server, so people can customise it on their BMS machines and the client does not need a new release for a new layout.

@drillerman52 The app should not randomly crash because of you interacting with the screens.
In the next release the app will support different ‘screen layouts’, one of which will put all the ‘devices’ on a separate screen. Thus you could have two tablets running, one displaying the left MFD and one the right MFD.

Hey, first of all, thank you very much for the great tool, I use it all the time, it really enhances my BMS experience! Awesome that it works under Wine on Linux, too.
Is there a reason why RWR is limited to 240x240 pixels? I’ve been poking at the code a little, at it seemed to me that if I increase the canvas size by the factor of 2 (for example), and remove the check that makes sure that the scaling factor is < 1, it works OK with larger sizes. My use case for this is creating a separate RWR-only layout and putting it on my phone; I don’t win much legibility over having the RWR in 3D if the size limit is as it is now.

@wsy I don’t think there is a real reason for the rwr to be restricted in size. It’s probably a leftover from a time when it messed with the layout of the other components.
Feel free to create a PR with the changes and the layout file.
