Has anyone used spacedesk or something similar to show an A-10 MFCD on a tablet? Im trying to configure the "Camera + Right MFCD" file so i can use TGP and MAV on my tablet. Every option ive tried to do just cuts DCS in half on my main monitor.... is there a kind soul here that can post a text file for a proper multi-monitor setup?

 

My monitor is 1920x1080 and tablet is 1280x800

i tried DCS Virtual cockpit, didnt like the fact that you have to display the mfcd's on the game screen to get them to show up on the tablet... ill keep trying to mess with the files, thanks for the recommendation

Seems to be the 'holy grail' of Helios.

 

Shame the codebase is pretty tricky.

 

There are two (afaik) options under Windows for using USB connected iPads as external monitors (not including screen casting), however from talking to both developers, there is a hard limit in their windows screen management control applet, on the number of monitors it will support, and the frequency of updates.

 

I have 3 'spare' iPads, and wanted two of them for MFD's and two (inc my non-spare iPad) as lower side consoles for the A10C. So that's 4 screens in addition to my main PC screen and 2nd monitor (23" touchscreen).

 

Neither company would support 4 iPads connected at once, in fact one company only supported one, and the other said I could get 3 to work at the same time, but may be laggy. And each has to have it's own USB cable connected to the mobo and not to a Hub. That made things trickier too.

 

Sorry for the lack of positive reply

 

EDIT:

 

Duet - I believe was the one that said one only under Windows

iDisplay - the one that has a 3 limit under Windows

 

"Can I connect several devices with iDisplay?

Yes.

 

On Windows, iDisplay supports up to 3 simultaneous devices in both Mirrored and Additional monitor modes (depending on your hardware capabilities)."

 

Does iDisplay work via USB?

The current version of iDisplay Desktop for Windows doesn't support USB. We temporarily disabled USB connectivity to resolve reliability issues, but will add it in one of the upcoming updates.

 

Please note that while running iDisplay both the mobile device and the computer should be in one WiFi network.

 

 

So as you can see... it's not a great solution under windows, and from playing with it... not as good as smaller dedicated touchscreen monitors, which is why everyone is still trying to find them on Ebay and why they still hold a high price.
