Got it kind of working with autohotkey. Not completely happy with the why it handles the alt/ctrl keys but it looks like it works. Not sure if it stable, have to check it during some missions. The background image is not really ready yet, and I don't like the look of the keys. But it is a start. If you interested let me know, I can try to submit the keypadpro template and make a zip of the rest you need. .lue file and the autohotkey script.

It is still in an try and error status. Got the cdu keys configered in the keyboard.lue file. Got the same key combo's configered in keypadpro. Had some good results with a tool named Autohotkey as an interface to solve the shift and crtl key issue. It works now in the sim. But with different results of slow response and not reacting keys. Have to test it more before it is worth to publish.

Ok before you all start buying the app I used, I have to say there is still one big show stopper. I used the Ipad App Keypadpro. ($4,99) With this app you can places keybuttons on you Ipad screen anywhere in the matrix of the keypadpro screen and assign it a keypress that is detected by your computer and so by A-10. You can add images for the buttons and an image for the background. you can make more than one screen.. so 2 MFD's a CDU ect.. switching between them is fast.. (I show you in the video) Now the show stopper for so fare. I can assign all keyboard keys, as long they are not shifted/ctrl/alt based.. for some reason A-10 doesn't like the way it gets the modifier (shift/ctrl/alt)commands from the keymappro server.exe that is translating the keyinput. Strange thing is that it does work in FSX! I did try other sim's, in some it works in others it don't. So what does this mean.. We could have a great App to assign all cockpit button on your Ipad but as long we only can use default keys the options are limited. I tried to use the tool HIDmacro to handle as an interface between A-10 and keypadpro and it looks like it should be able to, but I just can't get it to work all the way.. I don't really get it how HIDmacro works. Hope someone more into keyboard programming can have a try..or send me on my way. I made a demo that you can view here. It's a little demo what can be done. The look of the MFD is just a tryout, For the CDU I managed to get it look very nice, only for the keys I miss an option to make them smaller but this should be possible in an next version of keypadpro. For the CDU I just push some buttons for the show but they are registered on my system and can me linked into A-10 (as long there's not shift or ctrl key combo's, and so very limited.) Switching between the mdf's or CDU is fast. I think very use able in the sim. So let's hope we can find a option for the modifier issue. (hope you don't mind I copy past my text from Simhq)

Sorry got no answere for you questioin. I tried hidmacro with a ipad app keypad pro. Need it because a10 doesn't handle the shift and ctrl key send bij keypad pro. Somehow I get strange results with hidmacro. For a simple keyboard shift+a: When I set this up in hidmarco it looks like it "hanging" in a10. Only after pressing an alt or ctrl key on my normal key board give me result...shift+ctrl +a. So it did send the macro shift +a but doesn't finish it by it self.I just don't get it.

I had a go with HIDmacros. It should be possible to use it as a "middleman" that send the shifts an alt combo key. It registers the keypad pro input and it seems to be able to send shifted key press to A-10. but for some reason it doesn't do it right or needs an extra keypress from a Alt to be seen in the A10 key config. And for me keypad pro is seen as my CH pro throttle.

Didn't tried that.. Gonna have a look with the pro version.

I tried it out with some other sims and you know what? It does work in flightsim FSX. and again not in Arma Assault2. this really get's me. It would be so perfect..

Should it be posible to get it to work?

sure, it's the app "keypad pro" here is a youtube demo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCD8oPgDB1o Lite version is free but not really usefull. the pro version cost $4,99

Hi, I Got this Ipad app that makes it possible to configer keybuttons on the ipad display and arrange them anyway you want. Looks like a great CDU or MFD button solution. If this works you got it all remote on you ipad switchable from one to the other MDF/CDU/What ever Buttons you need. Normal key's are registed in A-10 without a problem. But the shift or ctrl keys are ignored bij A-10.. I use CH control managers key-checker to check what key output sequence the keypad pro give my pc but that seems to be ok.. for example in CH's key checker (my CH joystick configuration tool) an shift "a" is register as: Pressed=>Lshift, Pressed=>A,Released=>A, Released=>Lshift. In the key configuration menu from A10 only the "a" key press is noticed not the shift press.. Anyone an idea why this is? (hope you don't mind the double post in the beta forum..)
