MFCD for Android tablets (phones)

colo · 08-21-2013, 08:11 PM

Hi, now named aInstruments, this app transfer aircraft instruments from DCS to your Android device(s).

6aircraft, 17 instruments and up to 3 tablets simultaneously connected:

A-10C Thunderbolt II - left & right MFCD displays and CDU navigation computer
AV-8B Harrier II Night Attack - left & right MPCD and UFC display
F/A-18C Hornet - left & right DDI displays, bottom AMPCD and UFC display
Mirage 2000C - radar, RWR and weapons panel
AJS 37 Viggen - radar and data panel with navigation
Ka-50 Black Shark - Shkval display and ABRIS navigation computer

It canalso display kneepad pages and SAMs threat pages on your tablet(s), automatically dial GPS object

coordinates from map on Hornet UFC as waypoint or JDAM targets. Now also in JDAM precise mode

Server part runs on computer where DCS World is installed and client part runs on your Android tablet or phone.

I am constantly improving this app, adding new instruments, fixing bugs and optimizing code, the price stays the same.

More info on www.lumatek.sk or on my youtube channel.

Online manual is here.

Thank you for your support and patience !

Any noticeable latency? I know a lot of the screen to Android services that I have used for this suffer unbearable lag of up to, and sometimes exceeding, .5 seconds.

Also, will it properly display any mfcd at any resolution?

It would also be nice to be able to choose which MFCD to copy.

Thank you for comment !

Yes, there is noticable latency, but from measures I think that it is not transfer problem cause it i near 50 fps but cased by displaying image in separeted android thread (I am not good at threads this is my first application for tablet & phones)

Resolution is no problem I have try it also on my HTC desire X phone at it looks equally.

It is possible to choose another MFCD, there is menu on the top right corner, with MFCD selection, IP address selection and exit (It is not shown on video)

Please can you write names of screen to android services ? i have written this from sratch and it will be nice to see another similar applications

good point, I have decided to do it in portrait mode cause in landscape there is less space (MFCD is square and in landscape there is android status and notify bar) but 2 MFCD on landscape sounds good, i will implement it, thanx

Finally, glad to see the Android devices getting some DCS love!

Once this project is over, I'd love to see a CDU for Android.

Good point, I prefer to do more sensors in this unpolished style and then concentrate on improvement of each one. Next week I have holiday so I will implement it.

Also, any chance of being able to export other displays, say the RADAR display in the Eagle?

This is great!

As suggestions... After finishing it don't stop at A10C and don't put ads... or at least make one with a decent price but no ads and slim on "access rights".

Ka50 could use one too.
