flx54 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Hi community, first poster and quite a noob to the hornet here. :smilewink: I am making really good progress on handling the required systems to make it fun to fly and i got across the ipad Virtual Cockpit app and installed it, but i also found this one here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ihopiworks.hornetdevice Youtube video here: (cant understand cause i dont speak korean) Anyone already successfully installed it and using it? I Am trying but unfortunately it looks like my Samsung S2 tablet is not communicating with my PC although the server app is showing my tablets (variable) IP. cheers! PS: i searched the forum prior posting of course but did not find any hints...

WOPR Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 (edited) I've been meaning to try this myself. I'm downloading the server app now. Have you allowed the server through the windows firewall? EDIT: Just gave it the first try and it seems to be working. There's a check box in the server app that puts something in your export.lua file. Do you have that box checked?

flx54 Posted January 2, 2019 Author Share Posted January 2, 2019 I've been meaning to try this myself. I'm downloading the server app now. Have you allowed the server through the windows firewall? Hi, yes i did that. Afterwards i switched all windows firewall off. But no success. As mentioned, the server app sees my tablet and its IP in my WLAN but i dont get the message from server app like saying "in the cockpit". (as seen in the video) Have a try by yourself and let me know your progress. THX!

flx54 Posted January 2, 2019 Author Share Posted January 2, 2019 See edited post. The only checkbox i see is the one beneath "installed games" and there i marked "DCS.openbeta" does it immediately run well for you? Did you make any changes to your ports etc?

WOPR Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 All I did other than check the box was make sure that the UFC was powered on in a spawned Hornet. I used the 'ready on the ramp' instant action mission to test it. I use dcs_updater on the command line to update so I don't have dcs.beta active, but that shouldn't make any difference. Your export.lua file for the installation you're running should contain "local dwlfs=require('lfs'); dofile(dwlfs.writedir()..[[scripts\DEVICEWORKS\DEVICEWORKS.lua]])" on the first list and you should have the DEVICEWORKS script installed in your save games script directory.

Lucky15 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Works well, but on my Galaxy Tab-A 10.1 the UFC isn't properly proportioned. It would suit my screen better if just the UFC could be displayed in landscape.

Flamin_Squirrel Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Interesting. I can't see where to get hold of the server part though?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WOPR Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Android app - Windows app is fine. Normally, clearing data and the app cache or re-installing fixes the problem. Otherwise, I recommend trying to send a crash report or contacting the author. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donkeyrider Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Downloaded and installed it on the weekend. There is a link to the required windows / server app via the Google Play Store page. Working out of the box for me without any problems on my android phone. The proportions of the UFC were out of whack for me but otherwise no problems and it worked as advertised. If you don't mind the google ads at the bottom, then this is a very good UFC solution. I'm in the market now for a cheap, no name 8" android tablet.

TechRoss Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 (edited) Also just gave this a try and works first time. Very cool solution and might save me a fortune in electronics for my desktop UFC. Now if only my tablet would charge, it is a little small on the phone. Edit: First run was on my Samsung S9+, decided to try on an older phone to see. On my Note 4 it fails when starting up the Hornet. Edited January 7, 2019 by TechRoss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortcut Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 (edited) I can not get this app to work. I have followed all the instructions. The only thing I get when I open the App is the top window next to the Data entry window is " RDY " nothing else works. The DCS Device Server is all Green Run Check is in the cockpit. Right side windows has the below info. Network adapters Wi-Fi 192.168.1.187 Installed Games DCS.openbeta Remote client status Blank No address listed (is this the problem If so hoe do I Fix?)

Shortcut Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 (edited) This App was causing DCS to lock my FPS the first time at 28 FPS. After I reinstall DCS it locked DCS at FPS at 50 FPS. This originally happened after I did a DCS update so I was thinking the update caused the problem. This Android app has a additional program that's called DCS Device Server this program adds 2 files to the Saved Games Folder under Scripts. Theirs a folder called DEVICEWORKS and a LUNA file called Export. One of these is causing the FPS locking. I deleted both files and I'm back over 100 FPS @ 7680 X 1440 (3 monitors). I never did get the App to connect to my phone of tablet but if the developer can get it to work it will be a nice addition to DCS your be able to put the UFC on a tablet or your phone. He also said he's going to do a App for the A-10C. I e-mailed the developer about the problems I found, hope he can fix it.

flx54 Posted February 6, 2019 Author Share Posted February 6, 2019 Wish i could test it by myself, but i still dont get it running. Looks like it is not exporting. Can someone with the Android UFC working please post his/hers export.lua file? Thanks!

Shortcut Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 I Received a E-Mail from the developer to day. This will be a nice addition to the F-18. I've checked the routine that possibly make any FPS lock but couldn't find anything. Actually, I think a few frame drop can caused by this script but it cannot lock FPS. Currently, my system cannot generate over than 60 fps so I will contact other person for this problem. (testers I mean) And TCP direct connection method is implemented to the newest AMPCD & UFC application. Unfortunately, the UFC application implementation is delayed because of new app release schedule. 13700K, MSI Z690 D4 Edge wifi, Swiftech H360X3 Cooling with Corsair Water Block, Gigabyte 4090 OC, 64gb Trident Z 3600 CL16, Evga 850W G2 power supply, TM Warthog, MFG Crosswinds Rudder, TrackIR 5, HP Reverb 2, Pimax Crystal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortcut Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 He now has the UFC working. You must start DCS prior to loading the DCS Device Sever. The MFCD Is not working at this time. I'm using it on my Mirosoft Surface Pro while running the NOX Android Emulator. Give it a try. I've made a new app that control or your hornet's AMPCD & UFC both at the same time. You can find the demo version of the app for android below link. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.deviceworks.dcshornetdevicedemo You can download server file from below link. https://www.dropbox.com/s/s0qeuhk552n0d63/DCS%20Device%20Server%202.03.zip?dl=0 At the first screen, press ampcd display will popup the connection window. From there, input your ip address and port (as you can see from the server, mostly 9100) then hit 'Enter' 13700K, MSI Z690 D4 Edge wifi, Swiftech H360X3 Cooling with Corsair Water Block, Gigabyte 4090 OC, 64gb Trident Z 3600 CL16, Evga 850W G2 power supply, TM Warthog, MFG Crosswinds Rudder, TrackIR 5, HP Reverb 2, Pimax Crystal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
