Using ipad with warthog

[morgon]

Hi, not very technical minded but looking for a program with set up instructions on using my ipad for key commands on a10c? Saves fumbling around with keyboard. Would appreciate the help but please keep jargon low :thumbup:

 

Thanks :)

 

Also tried to set up face track noir with new dcs download via site as binned my steam version any reason why this wouldn't work now? Maybe a new way to set up not sure but if anyone else has this working please let me know

Depends on the type of key commands you mean.

 

1) Do you have a HOTAS? (Hands On Throttle And Stick) For example the Saitek X52 or Thrustmaster Warthog.

2) Do you mean for various cockpit controls? If so, google iPadPit. It hooks up to your game and lets you graphically control and view cockpit instruments through your iPad. I do not however know if it is functional with current versions.

 

If you could further specify your usage situation (what peripherals - that is, controllers etcetera) you are currently using etcetera, it is easier to give you advice.

Ideally viewing cdu's on ipad and being able to control them and the control panel under HUD would be great, save me zooming into them to view. I did try once to install ipad pit I think but that went totally wrong am sure it was called that Not sure now. Really need something with instructions for dummies :doh:

 

Any help would be good though just to make sim even more enjoyable and to its capabilities :thumbup:

 

I don't have a nifty set up, I use a medioka flight stick (cyborg x) which I use for upto 15 functions and currently use a (don't laugh) Xbox pad to control movement and zooms and locking for cdu's displays when searching for targets, works for me being a console boy lol saves fumbling on keyboard

 

Also have ipad and iPhone at my disposal to if I can figure how to use

I have heard good things about iPadpit, I personally use iControlDCS. Both will allow you to view MFDs, CDU and control various buttons and switches in the cockpit right from your iPad.

Here's my set up from a few months ago using iControl DCS, Full version is $30 but there's a free version too, you will need a second monitor regardless for the MFD export otherwise they will show up on the main screen

Not true. You can setup a virtual monitor, use that and you will not need a physical monitor to export the MFD's to.

ok so now in last 5 i minutes managed to get displays working on ipad, didnt know you had to select is display options in game itself:) so with only the one monitor i have how do i get rid of the mfcd's showing on actual screen as currently have them sat in bottom left and right corners ?

You either need a second monitor or download the driver for a virtual monitor.

I managed to sort after playing around with settings, no second monitor or virtual driver needed. have extended display in Windows pc display settings and now with MFCD's off main screen so no longer a eye sore with the displays stuck in corners of the screen thank god. Below are my manual icontrol settings for a single disply 50" 1920x1080 with MFCD's no longer on main screen if it helps anyone else messing around with settings

 

Cockpit 0,0,1920,1080

 

Left MFCD 342,75,280,180

Right MFCD 2100,0,303,303

 

Case closed for me on this one at last! :)
