Falcon/BMS, like riding a bike after 2 years away…

Same here…was able to refuel first time out.
Edit: Not my screenshots…just relying as a whole.

@Nielzs said in New free MFD/ICP app to control Falcon BMS from touch devices:

@kungfoo Nice, i do however have the MFD freeze bug also…after a while the mfd screens on my tablet freeze, pressing the buttons still work because they send commands to the mfd’s on my desktop computer.

Same as posted earlier…

@Doc0301 Can confirm also, XRNecksafer is still working.

@dawgboy Copy. It looks like you can change the “world scale” through OpenXR Toolkit. However, it appears that it relies on WMR which will be obsolete soon.

Thanks for your assistance.

@Icer There is no need to cancel your order for PointCtrl. When your order comes up, just don’t pay and you will remain on the list. That way, in the event PointCtrl becomes workable in BMS in the future, just make your payment at that time.

I’m one of the early adaptors of PointCtrl. I have both V1 and V2. I have tried it in BMS and I was able to manipulate the switches, but it was awkward.

Only tried it with SteamVR.

@Snake122 said in VR Cursor Offset Problem:

@Dracfalcon in the :\Falcon BMS 4.37\User\Config directory, add “set g_fVRMouseCorrectionFactorX 0.15” (without the quotes) to either Falcon BMS User.cfg or Falcon BMS VR.cfg files. The VR Config file allows you to have a specific setup for VR, but if you are 100% VR the standard User.cfg is good too.

Copy. All good now. Thanks

Gents, there is a new server version to try out on github: https://github.com/kungfoo/falcon-bms-control/releases/download/server-0.7/falcon-bms-control-server-win64-0.7.zip

This version addresses some of the issues the server had with client dropping too many chunks (on network blips).

It also has quite the upgrade in some of the underlying libraries, especially ENet.

I have tested this to the best of my ability and was unable to reproduce the frozen MFD bug on three different devices. Please do let me know if you still encounter it.

Caveats:

• this version does not yet address the F/18 extraction alignment problems. I’ll get to that soon.

I finally got a chance to use the updated software. This is what I experienced:

1. Turned on server and app, started BMS and all is good.
2. Started the TE for BARCAP and initiated the App by switching to the MFDs.
3. After flying for a few minutes without touching App, the App defaulted to the ICP screen.
4. Selected the MFD screen and continued to fly. Again, after flying without touching the App, it defaulted to the ICP screen.
5. Selected the MFD screen once again, and continued to fly. Completed the TE and returned to homeplate…MFD and ICP working as planned.
6. After exiting BMS, I noticed the Server log, showing “several” disconnects and reconnects.
7. I’m wondering if the disconnects caused the App to revert to the ICP screen, and when switching back to the MFD screen it reconnects.

Just my experience using the lasted update of the software. Hope this will give some insight that may be helpful.

P.S. - My Tablet is connected to the Ethernet, not Wifi.

Take care…

Great news on the update. I will check it out when I get back in town from vacation.

@kungfoo said in New free MFD/ICP app to control Falcon BMS from touch devices:

@Dracfalcon I’ll release a new server version as soon as I’m sure it’s actually an improvement.

Copy. Take your time. Thanks

@kungfoo said in New free MFD/ICP app to control Falcon BMS from touch devices:

@Dracfalcon Nope, I am currently working on upgrading all the server libraries and then also the client base libs.

And I’m wondering, why the extraction display on the tablet is laggy af in 4.37, because it sure hasn’t been that way and my PC sure is fast enough to handle it easily…

Any new news on this front? Thanks

@kungfoo Just to make sure, you have “not” released an update to this App yet. Is that correct? I’m hoping the “screen freeze…buttons working” may be resolved in the update.

Thanks

@oakdesign Thanks for the info. I did not realize the Drag and Drop no longer works.

@Logic Glad you saw my post on Discord. I did not have permission to post photo here. You saw what it said when I used the current version. Thanks

@Logic I am getting an error when using .NET Desktop Runtime 9.0.4. What version will work?
