Your app is excellent. Do you have any plans to allow one MFD per tablet?

RE: Post your BMS 4.33 Screenshots here!
Two interesting shots from my 4.33 adventure thus far:
Sunrise enroute to Mostar Airport to break some things.
AV8B+ breaking hard after rifles on… something (likely apartment buildings).

RE: Throttle hat switches are not active?
Amarok,
Please note this is my best solution at this time and I’m yet to robustly test it!
first question: I’m having the same problem you are with my g40 hats. I think i’ve fixed it though:
Switches that have multiple modes of operation (long presses etc) cannot be combo keys (so, ‘Shift-Delete’ for example). As far as I can tell, this is TMS and the comms switch.
So, what you need to do is put the comms switch and TMS to the left/right/up/down and del/end/pgdn/home key binds in BMS and swap whatever was already on those (ICP for the arrow keys) to a ‘shifted variation’.
Then, assign keystrokes to the hats (in the Logitech software, sorry Amarok its the only way) to do the left/right/up/down and del/end/pgdn/home keys and you should be good to go.
Second question: I haven’t seen that (i’ve experienced the R1/2 on the throttle not working and fixed that with some rewiring). might be worth cracking open the joystick and seeing if your have stressed wires in there. -
BMS 4.33 Base 64 bits, FA-18 Upfront Display very hard to read
I’m using the guide for bug reporting provided at the top of the tech support forum, so please bear with me.
The issue is that the green text to the left of the keypad on the Hornet Upfront Control panel is quite thin and difficult to read at 1920x1080 when not zooming in from the default FOV.
The image below illustrates this some what, but it is harder to read when in motion as the thin vertical lines of the text tend to disappear and reappear as they skip across… pixels, I guess. Please note the incidental text from the MFDs is significantly thicker and easier to read.
I believe this an issue as the readability of the display is degraded from the normal pilot head position. I am unsure of the font used in the actual FA-18, but as PC users are dealing with reduced visual resolution, a thicker font would make things a bit more understandable
As far as hardware being used, I’m running an Nvidia 770 with up to date drivers, Track IR and a screen resolution of 1920x1080. Anti-aliasing is application controlled (AA seems to make no difference in this case).
My suggested solution is to change the Hornet Cockpit UFC to use the same font that the Falcon pits use for the DED (or any of the MFDs for that matter). That font doesn’t disappear when you move your head.
