Mrwell, I think you’ll like EDTracker very much,
PS: hope yours arrives soon.
Reboot.

Negative, Reboot, they changed it no so long ago. Now it act like a standard head device too.
I’m waiting for my 9150 chip to test it. A friend of mine already did it and it works good with BMS.
I think it’s best to wait until you get your EDTracker then I can try to help you getting it working with BMS because you apparently don’t know how it’s supposed to work!
What I posted above was actually a quote from the EDTracker site.
PS: I’ve had my EDTracker (9150 chip) for over a month now and use Opentrack with BMS, actually it works impressively well.
The EDTracker, accelerometer/gyroscope/magnetometer
The EDTracker device only pretends to be a joystick, so any game that allows you to map an analogue joystick to a head-look feature should work.
If your game only supports protocols such as FSX, TrackIR or FreeTrack, you can use the 3rd party software “Opentrack” to take your joystick input from EDTracker and emulate those protocols.

Works fine here.
Are you using Open Track with your other sims and games? if not then it’s OpenTrack’s settings that’s at fault.
Hi Vaughan, I’ve just been experimenting with the size of MFD’s in BMS, and I think I’ve found something interesting,
If I set the left export MFD to exactly 225x225 pixels, then I get (over on the android) a perfect image, perfect lettering,
now If I use just one pixel more, or less “224x224” or “226x226” then the image get’s spoilt and the lettering is bleary,
if you have time then try this, the results are very impressive.
BTW, i’ve switched off “Double Resolution Cockpit Displays”
Thanks vaughan, but I was expecting the results to be the other way round, never mind.
at the moment my computer is dead and I only have the wife’s PC to play with, so I can’t do the tests myself.
Over at Viperpits Yoda, (GiGurra) has continued this topic over there, take a look.

Vaughan, or anyone else, could you make a small test for me!
Test 1: setup one MFD with a size of 256x256 pixels and then write down the FPS in instant action.
Test 2: do the same test again but with a setting like this, -256
the mfd will be completely off screen but Jshepaerds APP can still find it.
the test is to see if having MFD’s off screen has an influence on FPS,
this is for testing Falcon, not sheperds APP.
I also tried all of the center pedestal gauges and it was very slow and jerky, but the MFD’s are smooth as silk.
Any way to adjust the resolution of the MFD picture at the Android end?
what are you meaning by “resolution”, size or picture quality?
if its quality then try increasing the size of the gauges that falcon produces, but if you make them to large then things will start slowing down.
Vaughan, try switching off JPG (remove tick mark) and it will use PNG format, much smoother, better picture, (for me anyway).
From the server side where JPG is ticked on the right side lower the percentage. With 10% u get pixelated but good speed with 30% I believe it’s good. 100% doesn’t work for me…
If JPG is not checked, the drawing data of the MFD’s is sent in PNG format, this is what I use, much better.
Now the FPS Impact LOL is a killer…
Lightning found that by running in “window mode”, helped considerably with FPS, that is why BMS runs “window mode” whenever MFD extraction is activated.
the problem with starting extraction manually (by adding the line “set g_bUseExternalWindows 1”) is that it isn’t running “window mode” and your FPS will fall, the best way to use Jshepards APP is to activate BMS extraction and use BMS “window mode”.
Also the connection thing works like hell I was stopping it from server side and restarting it making jpg % changes and it was displaying just fine… So abuse it it takes it lol.
Yes, I have also noted how stable it is, once started it doesn’t like to stop, one problem I found, if I turn my tablet onto its side and the image turns around and runs off the edge of screen, then I lose connection.
