Thanks Komuru. I just sent you a mail with all the the requested info. I was not able to post the screen here, so I sent it as well in the mail.

Hello,
I also have a problem: when pressing certain keys on the tablet I get a ‘key does not match’, e.g.
192.168.2.101 -> (SimCBEOSB_10R) Key Does Not Match
192.168.2.101 -> (SimHmsSymWheelUp) Key Does Not Match- this happens for the OSBs, the JHMCS knob and the CMS Prgm and Mode knobs, also the ICP. All these are present in the keyfile
- when clicking the buttons on the “MFD” on the server program (picture below the error messages) the OSBs call the correct keys in the keyfile, so there must be something between server and tablet
- the MFD are correctly displayed on the tablet, it doesn’t seem to be a connection issue.
- In contrast, autopilot switches DO work:
192.168.2.101 -> ( SimLeftAPDown ) Ctrl + Alt E
192.168.2.101 -> ( SimLeftAPMid ) Ctrl + Alt W
(while typing these I notice that they have spaces between brackets and ‘SimLeft…’ while the ones with ‘key does not match’ do not - could that be a problem?) - I have already done clean re-installs both of the server and the apk, no joy.
Any pointers? Thanks!

PM me your email address. I will send you a keyfile that works for me. Use it to see if you still get the same issues.

The keyfile actually DOES the trick! Thank you very much!!

You are welcome. Now you just have to reassign your HOTAS to my keyfile, or copy the needed info from my keyfile to yours.

Yes, that looks like it - interestingly, those spaces I noticed seem to do with it:
with your keyfile the server’s ‘incomming (sic) Msg. List’ says
192.168.2.101 -> ( SimCBEOSB_19L ) Ctrl + Alt Num9 (ie with spaces)with the other keyfile (BMSfull and Warthog; Morphine modified for U2)
192.168.2.101 -> (SimCBEOSB_19L) Key Does Not Match (ie without spaces)Not quite sure what the reason is but it may lead to the failure…

OK, I’m getting there. Knowing now that it’s the keyfile I had a look and (I think it’s been mentioned on this thread before) one has to switch the small ‘x’ in the keycodes to capital ‘X’, then it works. Then check a second time that no ‘x’ was changed that wasn’t supposed to - the server didn’t like the switch to SimICPNeXt
Still can’t get the EWS Mode and Program knobs to work; haven’t found the correct keycodes yet.
Thanks again for the help, didn’t know where to start…

Are you using my keyfile as is…or did you modify it?
-
I’m using the keyfile I had before, just with the modification as above after I compared it to your keyfile - now it works.

Roger that. I always recommend that all buttons and functions be checked with my keyfile first. Then make changes as necessary. That way, you know that it is not a software or keyfile issue….but rather something happened during the modification process. Good to hear all is well now.

Thank you so much for this great software.
I’m having just one problem - I’m getting a lot of lag on the android tablet.
Reducing the update frequency and changing the server IP address isn’t making any different.
Can anyone suggest a solution? (Or help identify the cause of the problem?)
Thanks!

can you send me log file
-
Thanks will do once my Pad is charged up again…
-
Well, in short, OMG! That was a revelation! Thanks for all the effort put into that program! Amazing!
Does anyone know if something similar exists for the panels?

Did you ever get an answer to your question? Please post if available. Thanks

komcuru advised me to reinstall the app on my android device and make sure the device and server (ie main computer) should be on the same network segment ie, my IP addresses were:
Msg 2017.01.15 18:18:11 fnkReadXML –> ServerIP : 192.168.56.1
Msg 2017.01.15 18:18:11 fnkReadXML –> AndroidIP : 192.168.1.3I think those numbers needed to be the same. Not sure how to do that though! Guess I will google it!
Thanks

It’s my understanding that all the IP addresses have to be on the same subnet, so yeah, find out what your main computer has in the way of IP address, then find out what your Android device has ( make sure it’s connected to your local router - not the mobile phone network ).
When I configured mine it was as follows:
Main PC ( Server / Game Machine 192.168.1.96
Android Device ( get this from the device itself, or your hub where it’s connected wirelessly 192.168.1.170Press the “Set” button on the android app and just accept the defaults.
If there are multiple IP addresses in the server software, just select the one that is you main WiFi connection and the same format as the android device.Close the app. Slide it shut ( extra safe ) . Close down the server. Start the server. Start the app.
Then things should be okay.

Yep, I did this (I selected server IP to 192.168.1.6 and pad was on 192.168.1.2) and confirm that it is WAY faster. Thank you nacnud!
I am having another issue, however. When I press a button on the pad, it doesn’t always register in game. For example, in the HSD MFD page a CNTL press on the pad registers in game… but for some reason DCPL button on the same page does not…
For testing purposes I have the X-52 profile that came with the downloaded selected in both the MFD server and in Falcon itself. Should I send the log through as well?
Thank you so much for this support by the way - FANTASTIC!
