Ghost_unit13 Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 (edited) Ok.. Not yet ready, just a first recon. But in my search for ipad solutions for the button click fun I had at Simhq.com someone pointing me to this tool: Touch ir+ I've been playing with it today and for what I have seen so fare you Ipad owners gonna love this.. I made a little demo have a look. Excuse my "euh's..and humms.." I'm not used to talk to my Ipad. I hope there are more people who can put some time into this, so we can make something usable out of it. Edited January 12, 2011 by Ghost_unit13 4 www.Ipadpit.nl :pilotfly:

Ghost_unit13 Posted January 12, 2011 Author Posted January 12, 2011 You can use it for the Iphone to.. just need an other background and make a new layout. Got no Iphone myself but for what I have seen the functionality stays the same. www.Ipadpit.nl :pilotfly:
Jorgensen Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 I Ghost I have installed both the app and server and they connect (had to disable firewall) - but how does one send a simple keypress ? i'l have to say that KeyPad pro seemed a bit more intuitiv :-/

Ghost_unit13 Posted January 13, 2011 Author Posted January 13, 2011 (edited) Jorgensen, Your right that keypad pro is a bit easy to use when your staring for the first time. But with touch ir there are a lot of more option we can use that make it so good. every key press calls a autohotkey script action for that key. This sounds a bit complex but one's you know how it is don it isn't. to give a example How I use it. -Start with a new location via file/location (I called it A10C) -Then start a new activity via file/activity ( I call it CDU or rightconsole what ever part of the cockpit you simulating) -select the location and then the activity. -Now you add a Devices, I call it DSC A10C. (I gonna put all key actions in here) -Switch it from "available devices" to the "device in this activity" Now the setup is ready to be configered. for the key assignment: -Select it in the "devices in this activity" add button. -name this new button (in my example I call it "CDU_1" for the 1 button on de cdu) -select Autohotkey as type (you need to buy the autohotkey "plugin" $1,99) -click add - when you double click the new Button for this device you get the autohotscript marco screen where you can manually type the key command or you can record a key press. for a record action: record, click ok, wait a sec. , now give the command for example Lalt Lshift 1 , click save and after that ctrl Q to get out of the record mode. you should have a nice script now. check if it looks ok for the key press actions..(I noticed a ctrl action to many in some cases because afer the ctrl q action.. thats why you have to push the save button before leave the record mode.. After this you can drag and drop the new button on you layout. get a images for it or leave it transparent, resize it and a lot of other stuff.. check the touch ir site.. I found all the info I needed there.. have fun.. Edited January 13, 2011 by Ghost_unit13 www.Ipadpit.nl :pilotfly:
Jorgensen Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 Wow, now I got it. Your'e right, when one knows how to, then its quite simple and powerfull. First I thought that it could not be for real that one has to by extensions just to get this function, but then it seems that the price for the extension, had the price listet in a wrong currency. The price seems ok in the right currency :-)
Ghost_unit13 Posted January 13, 2011 Author Posted January 13, 2011 yes you buy a hamburger for that :) www.Ipadpit.nl :pilotfly:
Ghost_unit13 Posted January 15, 2011 Author Posted January 15, 2011 Got news on my Ipad project. I did some work on the cockpit layout tonight. For now it's ready. Next is configuring some switches and buttons on the MFD's and the CDU. I made a little update video. You see some clicking in the touch IR server/editor and I flip through the cockpit. I decided not to go for a full scrollable cockpit but one in sections (activities it is call in Touch ir) This way there is no frame rate hit when going from one end to the other, the buttons are more stable clickable at the MFD's and you find faster you way around. Notice the flip animation at the end of the video and the website in the DCU display. Hope to use the webwindow for live images from one of the in game mfd's. For the buttons you can use scripts to import data from outsite so it should be possible to check the in game switch status to set in correctly on you Ipad.. I'm no scriptwizard so for that we need someone who knows his way around in that area. Anyone.. anyone..? For a start I need a little script that tells the button it is up at one click and down at the other. So a little script that change a var from 1 to 0 or o to 1 every time a button ask for it.. Without it will only switch as long you press it. I'm in good contact with the developer now, there are a few issues I encountered but he solved some of them the same day with a update I'm beta testing now. I'm sure he will solve the others to, my impression is that he is very dedicated with his work. Work is time consuming, hope to have a in game demo at the end of next week. For now hope you enjoy this one. www.Ipadpit.nl :pilotfly:

Ghost_unit13 Posted January 17, 2011 Author Posted January 17, 2011 I would like to but give me a week to get it ready for that. And I'm using an newer update of Touch Ir+ that has not been released yet, not sure if this will be a problem. Guess the new version will be here in one or two weeks. www.Ipadpit.nl :pilotfly:
