IPadpit version 2.0 available for download

[Fuzzysham]

iControl DCS doesn't change your key mapping and the server has a utility to make configuring the screen for the MFDs easy.

 

Yep, I know. I purchased last night after debating for months whether I want it or not. After many months periodically trying to get iPadpit working. I gave up and purchased yours.

 

You app is very good. The screen setup couldn't be simpler. It's the one thing like this that has actually worked for me without a hitch. I definitely want to continue to use your app as the simplicity of it makes it worth it.

 

The one thing I'm not a huge fan about the app is the artwork used and some design choices. I read somewhere that ED's artwork wasn't used because of potential copyright issues. The other apps definitely use ED stuff, or so it seems. I don't know if they make money on their apps though. The main reason I am messing with all this is to get the cdu up and running. I would like to use iControl but it doesn't rotate to portrait mode, it stays in landscape mode. On ipadpit the CDU takes up the whole screen when in portrait mode. It's minor gripes like that. Also it seems there are many more consoles in the other apps. Maybe I'm missing something here, so please let me know if I am.

 

You and the iPadpit designer should work together. Bring your display(s) setup feature and the way you make it so the keyboard layout does not have to be changed (BIG gripe with ipadpit). He can bring over his console configurations and artwork. Then you would have something really special. Then again, I know nothing of programming.

 

Still, keep up the good work on iControl DCS.

 

Back to the original question: Anybody have an ipadpit profile that does not wipe out the defaults for the TM Warthog and MFD's?

 

Thanks.

 

Edit:

Those Helios setups are very tempting. That might be another solution. Not sure yet on that as I don't have touch screen monitor (I know it's not required).

 

Edit 2:

I figured out how to get back all the HOTAS and MFD stuff after using iPadpits profile. I just deleted the controller profiles as I mentioned earlier and it worked. I was surprised.

 

Also, I did not mean to sound overly critical or harsh on iControl. It is a very, very, very good app. I just see some room for improvement if possible. I can't wait to hear what goodies are going to be in the next release.

Hi Fuzzysham,

 

I'm sorry to hear that the screen grabbing settings is giving you trouble. The ipadpit is a hobby project for me and this was the best I could get up with. Remember that this IPadpit was the first in it kind, born from my idea to use my ipadpit as MFD. Because I'm no programmer I had to use already exiting tools to get it to work. The developer of the TouchIR tool did a great job for me to implement the Grabbing function for the live MFD on my request.

 

Boarder did a great job in making a version that got a easier setup. I think it is a bit like a ipad/android discussion, they both work great but one is more flexible that the other. The Ipadpit can be configured as you like but this makes the setup a bit more complicated. (Users already make a Black Shark and Falcon BMS version)

 

I'm not getting any money out of this project, I'm just a DCS A10 user that wanted to get his ipad somehow integrated with A10 :) and I'm happy to share it with you guys.

 

If there is anything I can do for you contact me at my ipadpit mail adres!

 

btw: Yes there are more consoles available but didn't really get into it. You can actually get any console as detailed as you want. All it takes it time.. Something that is hard to find at this moment..

Hey, I didn't mean to knock your program or boarder2's. You guys both have excellent programs that excel in certain areas and have drawbacks in others. Props to both you guys.

 

I finally figured out how to setup ipadpit. There were just so many included instruction files that it confused me which to look at and some of the typos confused me as well. Personally, I can live without live MFD's or CDU but I'm not a huge fan of replacing my keyboard config unlike boarder2's program where I don't need to. I'm torn between the two programs so I'll wait to see what the future holds for both programs and I will just deal with clicking in the cockpit for now. At the moment, iWarthogHD is the most useful iPad program to me. I have no doubt that your program and boarder2's will get better and better.

Does IPadpit work with DCS World A-10 1.2.0?

 

Cheers

[ycodryn]

Yes, I had it working fine - though since purchased iControlDCS.

iControl DCS doesn't change your key mapping and the server has a utility to make configuring the screen for the MFDs easy.

 

Hi, no offense, your app might be very good (haven´t used it) but I find it a bit shameless that you aggressively advertise your product in this thread, more so ghost unit doesn´t charge anything for his app. (you have to have trackir, but that´s not his software).

It´s great that you have your app, but keep using your thread for it.

My question was about iPadPit not icontrol.

[Purg]

My question was about iPadPit not icontrol.

 

..and I answered your question by advising you that it did work when I used it but no longer use it so I cannot verify if the latest version works.

[gabesta]

Can we get a definitive answer on whether or not this works in DCS World? I used it previously, and I preferred this layout to iControl DCS (no offense, boarder2).

 

The last time I tried to load it, I had to update the TouchIR app, and couldn't get anything to work after that.
