Hey Cowboy10uk! Yep .. it worked. I installed A-10c and BS. The only hiccup was BS - did not accept my serial #. I have the DVD version, then got the Upgrade. I had to download the upgrade module and then it worked ... wasn't really obvious.. but makes sense. Thanks again Denes

Well, with the grabbing, yes. The URL for the Touchcontrol is in my post above. Works fine (with Safari/Chrome/FF). With installing the module. Not yet. I looked at the 700 meg file and I decided to play a little BattleField3 (haha ..) and Take on Helicopters on this rainy weekend. I will download the modules though ... from work :) 80Mbit connection is nicer that the one at home (2Mbit) I will try this week. :) thanks for asking Denes

Yep :) I was looking for something else, so I didn't read the entire thread. But hey, I tried to give an idea, so my intentions were good :) cheers Denes

OOO :O let me try to do this right now. I was wondering why I had to buy BS and a10 again, though it was a beta bug or something:) Thanks ..

Quick question: Did anyone actually consider using the monitor itself as the HUD? A lot of monitors (most) can be disassembled in a way that you get a glass-clean transparent sheet of glass, that is totally transparent when white, totally black when black. You could just use a small display as the hud itself. The only issue is, that you will need to find a way to set the background to white. I am not sure at this point if this is possible. To see pictures of such mods just google "diy projectors" ... Just an idea that came up when reading this post (I accidentally found while looking for a solution for my MFD export issues). cheers Denes

So ... I was not very patient. And this is what I found and I have a feeling that this is going to make some folks happy here: http://192.168.3.110:8822/touchcontrol/grabber Where the ip is obviously my machines ip. You have to start the grabber in TouchControl then open the link in a browser. I couldn't do it in VLC but just a matter of time to find something faster than the web streaming. How I found this? Installed tcpick on my mac mini. Set up internet sharing and connected my iPad to the mini's shared wifi. ran this as root (sniffers need root access on linux/osx/bsd): bash-3.2# tcpick -i en0 "port 8822" -wRub The resulting file had: GET /touchcontrol/grabber?id=************ HTTP/1.1 The stars are an ID that seem to be associated with my touch control serial, my iPad's software or something. I did not want to post it here as I do not know yet what it is. This made me sad, but then I tried the URL without this unique ID and it worked fine. Not sure how laggy this is, but probably it is not lagger than the iPad version. This way you can grab the meds (or any instrument you export) from your screen and pull it up on a different machine (old laptop, win/linux/mac) in a web browser. You can scale it up (either make a http page with image size specified or press ctrl+-). Put your cougar mfd buttons around it and voila ... :) BTW I am considering a really simple solution too that would have 0 impact on the framerate: simply grabbing on an other computer using a web cam. Probably less lag than streaming (at least 15-20FPS) and all the processing can be done on the external machine. The cougars can be connected to the game PC directly. Well .. so I answered my first post. Hope it helps people who struggle with exporting MFDs

Hmm I actually have BS and A-10c, both installed recently and the touch screen and everything is working fine. I installed DCS:World, but for some reason both purchased apps show up with a Dollar sign ($) and not available until I re-purchase them :O .... so I cannot answer your question either :) cheers Denes

TouchControl grab URL Hello, Firs of all; new here, hello everyone, greetings from Costa Rica :). Now to the point: I got iPadpit to work and it is really good. I would like to keep using it. I got the MFCDs to export and it looks good. However I would like to get my MFCDs to a networked PC (NOT a screen extend, not an extra screen, but to have them appear somehow on my other PC. So why do I post my question here: well, by default TouchControl opens a HTTP capable server on port 8822. You can actually access localhost:8822 on the machine running it. I also read in their docs, that the screen grabber is creating a mjpeg stream that is accessible on this port. Question is: what is the URL where this can be accessed? Does anyone know by any chance? How this could work: well, I just 2 Thrustmaster MFD button sets ($79 on Amazon) and I could connect those to the game pc, while I could stream it to an other (lower end) pc or Mac (being a programmer/geek I have 6+ PCs in my home office/game room/man cave). It would be super easy in either a web browser or in VLC. Alternative: is the "remote control" in TouchControl supposed to work from a remote PC with the screen grabber imports? It doesn't for me. If they do, the problem is solved. If no-one has an idea, I might start with a sniffer between my iPad and my game PC, but it is painful as I would have to reorganize my network setup at home significantly - so it would be a PITA. OR: is there an other screen grabber that works similarly as this one? ALL I need is the MFCD, for the gauges there are countless other options. Either way, thanks in advance. Cheers Denes
