That sounds awesome! Quick buy 10 ipads

hehe I hope to use this air display for my nexus 7, would be awesome for the shkval camera, I striggle to zoom look at it properly with track ir.

Time to untick fullscreen, turn off shadows and mirrors and pray the fps is playable

If not, its just £3 down the pan.

This bit about AirDisplay worries me

Aero and DirectX will be disabled while connected to Air Display, and re-enabled upon disconnection

Is DCS an openGL title or DirectX?

DirectX

In case anyone does not know you can use full screen with multiple monitors with softTH.

It will help save a little graphics card vram and better FPS.

Works absolutely fine mate...

Have had no problems what so ever..

Anyone that wants to know what it is about, here is the website..

http://www.gadrocsworkshop.com/node/2

Lots of profiles for A10, BS2 etc...



Basically, all you need to do is open up your chosen profile in the Helios editor. Then open up another instance of the editor, where you will see you ipad next to your monitor.

Copy and paste all the graphics from the main profile using crtl-a into your ipad screen, crtl-v.

Resize it by selecting all again in the ipad screen, then holding shift drag the blue line to the correct screen size.

Obviously you have to have Air Display connected for the ipad.

Also there are instruction on that website that might help android tab users.. If not I am sure you can get a similar prog to air display..

Spoiler

It also has the kneeboard map built in, top right changes from lights to map using the buttons at the bottom. Some buttons aren't working at the moment, you can see them greyed out.

I got that speed on my main pc

on my pc downstairs (server) it was giving me 50KB/s running updater 2 minutes later

Wow another bug , the top notch testers team strikes again

 

[lurkio]

Nate , any sign of them fixing the heat blur bug ( as in you cannot switch it off ) ?

 

[Nate--IRL--]

They are aware of it and it is on the list - when you get it, I don't know. I'm not as involved as I used to be.

Just curious why you would want to turn it off? Surely the more immersion the better, no?

Anyway, a small update on my Helios Profile which is still WIP just now.. Mainly for Ipad just now, Fuse panel is complete, just got to figure out a few things. Nav and Comms panel is going to be a pain, as I need to learn how to output the panels could take me a while.

Also, and I cannot believe I am saying this. but I have been away investigating USB panels that allow direct wiring in from toggle switches etc.. Guess I might be pit building soon

STOP! Before you start going down that path, you'll save yourself a huge amount of time, money and hassle by just getting rid of the Mrs now while you have the chance before you start any serious work.

Its for the best.

 

[craptakular]

Marker can you right a guide for your helios thing?

It could be added to the OP and would be useful then.

 

[MarkeR]

LoL @ Jack....

Will do crap, I'll do my best, although there are a few videos out there on the tube..

I am guessing you are just wanting one on how to install configure etc. Not a tut that describes how to build your own panel.

 

[lurkio]

@Crap you gonna be online tonight , after all it Friday Night flight night at havoc company!

@MarkeR , turn it off = much better frame rates. If you want to fly with us sometime get on our teamspeak some evening (details in the link in my sig)

 

[ChrisJSY]

You guys ever have any open nights? Would love to shoot the **** up with you guys some time in the A-10.

 

[MarkeR]

Will do mate.

Been looking for online flying, still working on my landings though..

Probably Monday night at earliest have kids over the weekend.
