iControl DCS (Another iPad pit)

I am having difficulty turning on the ILS with IControl. I can turn it on in the cockpit, but I don't seem to able to do it on the Ipad.

iControl DCS doesn't support turning ILS on or off. I couldn't find a good way to do this on the iPad. I'll look into it for future versions, though!

Hi, was the issue fixed in the new version to run iControl alongside Helios? Just wondering cos I'm about to buy an iPad mini just for the cdu in my home pit

[WildBillKelsoe]

hey boarder, I have both 1.1.1.1 and 1.2.3 A-10C. I currently have ictrl running on 1.1.1.1. How can I set it to run on 1.2.3 world? thanks

Yes, it should work. You can test using A-10 VC Free (You won't get the CDU, but it'll at least you'll see that it works!)

Hi Boarder2, are you still interested in making Android version of iControl DCS?

Would love to also buy it, to use with Galaxy Tab 8.9 together with iPad.

I am still interested, however I don't have any news to report other than don't expect it any time soon.

 

That's my official statement... unofficially... I have a Nexus 7 sitting here that I got last week. And that's all I'll say about that. :music_whistling:

[mr_mojo97]

Got this for my iPad mini and it works like a dream. Although there does seem to be a conflict with (I assume) Helios but not often. Plus the iPad mini fits my pit perfectly

Does this work well with Black Shark as well?

 

Does it work well with an iPad Mini? I see comments in the thread about CDU only, but not sure if that is out of necessity due to the level of support or since in this setup the Mini is the "extra" iPad...

 

Thanks!

Only for the A10-C

Is there any chance you develop another page that has just one MFD on it and have it maxed out to fill the entire screen.

 

The larger the image the easier it is to find the bad guys on the TGP. I know about the double tap on the existing MFDs but I mean MAX out the image as large as possibel even sacrificing the sides of the MFD or make them as small as possible.

 

Thanks

I'll take it into consideration for a future version!

hmmm - this was working very well for me until today - i reinstalled A10 on and ssd after my HD failed and now i cannot connect to icrontrol with the ipad. It keeps searching.... "not connected."

 

i checked my port forwarding and all is good there - 22268 set in the router but i cant see it on "Canyouseeme.org"

 

any ideas?

 

i also installed bonjour and confirmed it is running but my ipad just cant find the server and the server also doesnt light green for the sim either.

You shouldn't be connecting through the Internet so you definitely don't need and don't want to forward ports on your router. It should be on local WiFi. Make sure the ports are unblocked on your PC firewall.

You can always click on red button on ipad app and manually enter ip of pc where server application is installed

^^ that was it - the firewall had a block in place contradicting the pass rule i had in place.

 

Cheers - all is working again!

I'd love to do the UH-1H. I just need more time in my life :)

 

We'll see!

Would be cool ;)

I just recently got an iPad mini, and am interested in trying icontroldcs with it. I've read this entire thread, and I'm confused about a few things that I'd like to understand before I go ahead.

 

Will it work with DCS world 1.2.4?

 

I have win 8 and GTX670, so if I understand correctly I can create a second 'virtual' display just by simply entering screen resolution setting (right click desktop) and adding the second screen. I've looked at this but got a bit confused by the options.Is there a step by step guide to this?

 

Will it affect my other DCS modules, like will I need to mess about with monitor set ups or full screen mode when reverting back to say P51 or Fc3?

I don't officially support this method, so I can't really help you out here. I do know that Windows 8 changed how creating software displays works, so the guides that exist may not work. I run Windows 8 just fine with the MFCD/CDU exported to physical displays, however.

It will change the display to be windowed mode and that will affect all modules. This is generally not a problem for modern video cards (Has a minimal impact on FPS). If you have special exports in other modules you'd need to manually switch to another display configuration as well.

 

You can give A-10 VC Free a try (and I strongly encourage everyone to do so) from the App Store

If you don't like how it works, the instructions for uninstalling are #6 here
