iControl DCS - iPad Virtual Cockpit


boarder2

Recommended Posts

The app does not work under IOS10 it says. Will there be an update so it does in the near future?

I don't think there's anything that should prevent it from running under iOS 10. Can you open a ticket by clicking on the Support icon at https://bit-shift.com and attach a screenshot of what you're seeing?

 

Thanks!

Ok, the second screen has to be on the right side. But is there a way to set it on the left side? I have my second screen on the left side and every time that I using this app in the game I have to switch from left to right in Screen-properties.

 

Your left screen can still be arranged on the left as long as you make it the primary monitor in Windows, that's the key part.

I got this setup working for the a10c but if I switch to the huey the UI all messed up.

 

The red box that show your controls is much bigger and the crew screen on my other monitor really big as well.

 

I don't understand why its changing anything to do with another module?

 

Thanks for any help.

Can you open a support ticket by going to https://bit-shift.com/icontroldcs/index.html and filling out the form in the bottom left corner of the screen?

 

I don't see the behavior you're talking about when using the UH-1H module myself. If you could attach screenshots of what you're seeing that would be helpful as well. Thanks!

Beta versions are technically not supported.

 

However, if you change the Save Game and DCS:W directory to the ones for the beta install it'll probably work.

Ive owned your icontrol for sometime now. Ive just got back into setting up and playing dcs...i only play with one monitor and i know that mfds gotta stay on the screen unless you have a second monitor.

My question is, could i just use another ipad and run duet for a extended desktop and put the screens on that to get them off my main screen? Thanks for help...

 

Also, if theres another way i could do it, i have an extra ipad and a droid tablet

I know Duet won't let the tablet be the primary display, but if it's just attached as a second one it very well may work. Just make sure it's a secondary display and arranged to the right of the primary display in Windows. Then run the server setup again and move the MFCDs to the secondary display, save and re-run the script installer.

 

Let us know how it works!

Well i got to thinking..moving to the next step...if i purchased a couple cheap android tablets could i purchase the andriod app and make a designated screen on each tablet? Also would this have bad lag due to so many apps running? My ipad icontrol have no lag to pc...i flip a switch and its simultaneous...is the android version like this or slower? Thanks

There will be a slight amount of overhead with every additional device you connect to the server but I've used 3 devices at a time without issue. Really the only major problem you might run into would be running out of bandwidth on your wifi network if you have repeated exported displays (MFCD, CDU) across all the devices. If you just have left MFCD on one, right MFCD on another and CDU on another, that should perform pretty well!

Installed the lite version to test first before i pay up, took me a while before i got it to work due to connection problems. Somehow Windows didn't save the first time i added port 22268 to the Firewall settings which took me on a hugh detour to find out what was wrong. Adding TCP port 22268 a second time finally did it.

 

 

2 questions:

 

- In the light version i only have the UFC, some buttons and switches and a lone radio. No MFD's. I guess MFD's are only available in the payed version?

 

 

- When the 2MFD's are added to the PC screen, performance takes a hugh dive from 126 FPS down to a steady 49. Is this normal?

Personal Wish List: A6 Intruder, Vietnam theater, decent ATC module, better VR performance!

i'd presume it would be due to rendering your MFCD's multiple times rather than only once
