yes i will implement it also for Harrier to the end of February Current roadmap: - single instrument orientation changing (portrait/landscape) - auto waypoint entry from map for Harrier via UFC - UFC for Hornet

Hi, new version 1.8 is out (may take some time to be visible on Google Play) - added dual mfcd/mdi/mpcd support for A-10C, F/A-18C Hornet, AV-8B Harrier - added automatic waypoint adding for Hornet, created from map coordinates Please see updated manual - page numbers 4 and 5 Thanx colo

OK, thank you for tip, I will improve Google Play description.

Hi Snoopy, may I use your maps in my aInstruments app ? If yes, what are the terms/conditions ? Is it enough to mention your names/website in my app or to give you some free promo codes for app ? Thanx colo

I will ask them if I can use their maps in my app If they agree I can implement it.

Yes, i can implement sorting/categorization of pages. Can you please provide me more info or link to "lotatc updated airport charts" ? I will look at it.

Hi, sorry no trial is available. Currently only basic kneepad is implemented (i.e. you copy your kneeboard image pages to subfolder of desktop part of app) and then if you double tap on tablet, these pages are displayed on tablet and you can swipe left/right between them. Advanced kneepad with different AC support with auto extract from DCS is planned in version 1.9 or 2.0 (will be released till end of February) After that (also in February) I plan to publish video which will show all features of aInstruments. Today/tomorrow version 1.8 will be released with 2 new features: - automatic transfer of coordinates from map to hornet waypoint via UFC - dual MFCD support for A10C, Hornet and Harrier colo

Yes, upgrade of kneepad logic is planned, kneepad pages will be automatically extracted from DCS profile on per-AC basis (so no copy from DCS profile to aInstruments folder will be required) Will be implemented after 1.9 or 2.0

Hallo and thanx for feedback ! here is roadmap for upcoming two weeks: 1. in version 1.8 - autotransfer of map object coordinates into current Hornet waypoint 2. in version 1.9 - side by side 2 MFCDs (it's currently in half stage of implementation - it requires changes on client and server, because of tagging frames (to differentiate which MFD is left/right when sending from desktop to tablet), also requires changes of logic between instruments swapping) After that, probably in version 2.0 - Hornet UFC Have a nice day ! colo

aInstruments 1.8 preview Hi showing upcoming version 1.8 - autotransfer of map object coordinates into current Hornet waypoint Just stop mouse over object on map and tap on tablet (you will be switched back to cockpit and coordinates with elevation will be inserted into current waypoint selected on Hornet AMPCD) Imperial and metric coordinates supported.

Something like this ? (but it is not free)

Hi, here are some new features which be implemented within 2 weeks (not exactly in this order) in 3 next versions of aInstruments: - dual MFCDs / MFDs for A-10C and Harrier in tablet landscape mode (side by side) - kneeboard (so you can have kneeboard pages really on knees) - SAMs thread pages with real values tested from DCS World (Soviet/Russian SAMs only) colo

Hallo, you can also start aInstruments manually in admin mode: - start command prompt as administrator Then type there commands: cd YOUR_DESKTOP_PATH\aInstruments14\App java -jar aInstruments.jar Hope this helps

Hi MirabelleBenou, thanks for buying aInstruments and sorry for inconvenieces. Jar error: Have you extracted (unzipped) aInstruments.zip for example on your Desktop? - just double clicking (opening) zip archive and run app from there will not work. (You sould see aInstruments14 folder on your desktop) White screen: It looks like that several people have similar problem - I will try to fix this on next release. Please send me your monitor resolutions and short description of their arrangement (e.g. first left main monitor 1920x1080, second 800x600 on the right) to appsupport@lumatek.sk and I will send you pre-configured monitor file whch you will just copy to DCS. Thank you ! Regards, colo

Hi bodecker, 1. if the app don't stay active it means that it crash for some reason, have you try completely restart your tablet and run just aInstruments on it ? a) which tablet do you have - android version ? b) can you try it on another tablet or mobile phone - you don't need to buy it again, it is enough if you have your account on another tablet (standard Google Play policy) 2. swipe - there is no limit on screen where to swipe, it should work on any place of tablet, it only depend which aircraft you have selected on aInstruments on desktop: A10 - swiping from top to bottom, and left to right F18 - swiping from top to bottom, and left to right AV8 - only left to right Ka50 - only top to bottom AJS37 - only top to bottom 3. have you pressed the "Add keybindings for instruments..." at least once on aInstruments app on Desktop ? You can check if keybindings has been added in DCS World -> Option -> Controls, for example select A10C Sim and find MFCDs mappings - it should be mapped to keys like it is described in manual in appendix section. Thank you colo

Hi bodecker, if your monitors is arranged left to right: please copy file "ainstruments.lua" from attachment to: C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Config\MonitorSetup (or modify path if your DCS is installed in another folder) and 1. In DCS World - Settings - System: -enter 3840x1080 in Resolution field -select aInstruments in Monitors field -check if "Full screen" is unchecked click OK Now when you start A-10C or Hornet in DCS World you should see instruments on your second monitor (if you dont see CDU, Harrier MPCDs or Viggen instruments see figure 3.) Exit DCS World 2. run aInstruments server part on Desktop and fill these values line by line (for LEFT MFCD,RIGHT MFCD, AMPCD, CDU): 1920 0 300 300 1920 301 300 300 1920 601 300 300 1920 901 300 100 click "Save instruments positions" 3. (only if you don't see A10 CDU, AV8 MPCDs or AJS37 ins.): in aInstruments server part click "Export A10 CDU, AV8 MFCDs, AJS 37.." button and restart DCS World From this point anytime if you want play DCS, just start aIntsruments on tablet, then start aInstruments on Desktop and then DCS World. If you experience lags restart tablet app (restarting desktop app will not help) Regards, colo aInstruments.lua

Hi, please send me file named debug.txt (you will find it in aInstruments folder in App subfolder) to appsupport@lumatek.sk I will send you preconfigured monitor profile. Thank you colo
