iControl DCS - iPad Virtual Cockpit

... Anyways that was my fix incase anybody else develops a random lost connection.

Glad you were able to get up and running again. Does seem odd that it wouldn't work without updating.

There's also a known issue with iOS 7 and the manual address entry dialog. I'm working on a fix for that but don't have an ETA just yet.

I just bought my wife an Ipad Air. This left her old Ipad available for me to play with. As I already have a 4 screen monitor setup using Eyefinity and CptLoz's Helios profile. I figured "hey a CDU would be cool". So I purchased this software; and you know what? IT ROCKS!!! Now I don't have to buy a separate touchscreen monitor. Thanks border2.

1.2.7 Update

Will there be a new version that will work with ED's release of 1.2.7 Open Beta?

Glad it's working well for ya, enjoy!

Config files are in a different location than they would be when the final release is out. You could probably manually copy the correct config files into the beta location and things would work if you want to get adventurous but I won't be changing the server to support non-released software, sorry :(

Would it be possible to put the steerpoint and page dials at the bottom of the CDU? It looks like there is enough room.

can ypu please explain to rest of us how to manually edit config files

Maybe you could post here how to manually edit and what files for use with open beta 1.2.7 ?

Hello Boarder... Question for you!

I've been hunting around for a way to simulate "ROVER" in a variety of different threads and your platform is ideal for the task. My only issue at this moment is that it would require a JTAC to "log in" to the server to view the MFCD with the TGP on it... (That's the goal, anyway).

Is that even remotely possible? Is it a function that can be added? Can you give some feedback on how feasible it might be?

Basically all parties involved would need to have the server loaded, but with an ID and a password (if necessary) the JTAC could log into the A-10Cs TGP as necessary and have all of the advantages of the existing ROVER equipment.

Thoughts?

I'm not familiar with ROVER, have a link that would give me a quick overview?

Sorry, I open the ticket. (718012). Please, I want to know if the software work with the new air pad air (retina) and the iOS 7.0.4 because I have the problem.

Thanks a lot.

hi guys a bit of help here would be greatly appreciated, I downloaded the virtual cockpit app for my HUDL tablet and am able to download the app through goggle play. I have purchased A10 MFCD & UFC. I have downloaded the virtual cockpit server for my PC I have Bonjour installed I have all the ticks on the VC server menu except for the last I just cant seem to get my tablet to connect. I tried to enter the I.P address manually into my tablet app same as its listed at the top of the VC server menu on my PC, unfortunately this doesn't work. I have entered my computers host name into the tablet app as well but no joy. Any advice would be great...

Norton issues?

Hi, just a quick question: Norton reports the Bit-shift site as containing malicious software. Anyone had any problems with the software from that site? Or is it just Norton. :)

I just updated the website with SHA hashes for both the server downloads. Norton has said the site hosts malicious software for years. Feel free to verify the hashes yourself, I just did with no problems! :)

Meh, I figured it was just Norton being Norton. But I figured I'd still check with the community, that's all. Thanks. :)

I am using your program on my IPAD. However, I recently bought a touchscreen and would like to start using Helios profiles on my second monitor, but keep the MFDs generated by your program on my second monitor. Do you know if your program and Helios (with its necessary extractions other than MFDs) are compatible with each other or is it a choice of one or the other?

I believe it will work, but you may have to do some hand jamming of the lua's.

I believe that your uninstall instructions are a little out of date for the DCS World version of A10C. Could you please update the instructions as far as to where the files that contain "hook" are located. Thanks.

I might be having a bit of a Senior moment here, but I can't actually find any info on installing this software.

I presume you install the server ICS controller on the main computer which leaves what to be installed on the touch screen computer.

Sorry, but this software is crap - hands off!!!

I wasted my whole evening and still can't play anymore...

I just found the app on the apple store I thought cool, give it try. Installation was easy, but when I start a mission it crashes on half the loading screen.

So I decided to uninstall ist.

- I have set my previous screen settings (2 screens...) - didn't work, same crash

- I manually deleted the installation folder of the addon (why do I have to do this? This should be part of the uninstall procedure...) - no help, mission loading still crashes

- at last, I had a look on the bit-shift.com website. The described files that I have to modify manually don't exists - perhaps it refers to DCS A10 and not DCS World, like sobe mentioned

I am afraid I have to reinstall DCS World and everything else. I am so disappointed.

It works very well for me. It also plays nice with Helios.

Hi, Boarder, I have 1.2.7 which works perfectly with this software but I also recently installed 1.2.8 beta and in the drop down window in options I don't get the option for dcs virtual server. What do I need to do? Ta

Sorry it didn't work for you. It sounds like you may have some faulty hardware or old video drivers or something. Nothing that gets modified by the server should cause the sim to crash. The only thing it changes is running the sim in windowed mode.

Feel free to open a support ticket at http://support.bit-shift.com if you'd like some more help.

Hi, Boarder, I have 1.2.7 which works perfectly with this software but I also recently installed 1.2.8 beta and in the drop down window in options I don't get the option for dcs virtual server. What do I need to do? Ta

The location of files that need to be modified are different for the beta releases of DCS World so the server and automated script install doesn't work with the beta releases. You could manually install the scripts, but I don't have a full list of everything that you'd need to copy over available anywhere at the moment.

Downloaded Virtual Cockpit server I use this on the other computer and DCS fails to launch from computer. Other computer works just fine.

Other computer owns DCS A10C, this one does not. Can this be caused by not owning the module?

What gives?
