Anyone extracting MFDs on remote PC?

[Icarus72nd]

Is anyone extracting MFCDs to remote PC via Helios or any other method.  I can get Helios to display on a second monitor on my DCS PC, but I want them on my secondary remote PC.  The two PCs are connected in a network.

Actually, Helios does not export the MDFs, (DCS does that natively), only instruments.
Cheers!

Thank you for the reply and info.  I am really surprised DCS can't do server client modes or there isn't a program that can do it.  I know there are a lot of people who would want it. Bummer.

You could use Spacedeck, which would let your other screens (pc or tablets) pretend to be monitors connected to you DCS pc

Not so much Helios but you can use a software called IRIS screen exporter that the helios dev made ( or forked from an original design).Basically you would create a virtual monitor in windows, export all of your displays to it,  then use iris to capture those displays and send them via UDP to the remote pc. It’s a bit  tricky to use but that is what it is designed for. UDP connection only allows so much bitrate so the fps is limited.. regular displays are fine but a TGP will be a bit jumpy as you can only have 15 or 20 fps max on the exported screen. Helios now also has screen exporter built in but that is designed more for local pc use so can have the brigtness/ gamma filters applied to the exported displays.. but with the same UDP caveats as IRIS

Its too bad DCS can’t do it like RTT Remote does in BMS.  Can’t be that hard to do.

So could you use an IPAD to be used for MFD's with this software?

Don't have an iPad.

Yes, I think it works for making an iPad a display.

and button will work on ipad then ?

[Trigati]

I don’t know if this software allows for input back to your PC, I don’t think it does.

If it did, you’d need to use something like Helios to get that touch input back into DCS

You can hook the ipad up to the pc using an app like  SpaceDesk. It will turn it into an extra  monitor, then you could run Helios Virtual Cockpit as Trigati suggested. Then you would get displays and controls on the ipad.

Its not straight forward, I managed to use the iPad as a display but never managed to get the touchscreen to work, I have also tried the free dcsufc app and whilst most people can get it to work, I can’t.

That said, both of these problems really seem to be user based, I am useless at Ports, ITC packets or whatever, my dreams out stretch my capability!

Here is a software that is supposed to do it.  I will try this:   http://pw-developer.com/soft_dcs_mfd.html

[AnarchyZG]

MATRIC https://matricapp.com can export screen snippets to iPad, Android or another PC and touch  works. Of course, do not expect crazy framerates but for MFD/TGP it is good enough.

You can either grab from physical monitor or use one of those virtual monitor dongles if you don't have a 2nd monitor.
