Falcon MFD 2 App

It is possible to use a tablet or any other Android device to display and interact with the MFDs, ICP, DED and RWR panels. We need to install the server on the PC, and the client on the Android device.

To download the PC server, go to https://mega.nz/#!WtREmACb!XnbRFHJREMNjgW_s5rANqhkB-p488Sg4rtEBppBE0aQ
To download the Android client, go to https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=arifkomurculer.falconmfd&hl=en

Server Configuration

After installing the server, the configuration is pretty straight forward:

Check that the IP address of your PC matches the IP address of the 'IP List' selection
Check that the Falcon BMS version of your executable matches the Falcon BMS version of the selection list (NOTE: BMS 4.33 U1 selection is compatible with U2 and U3)
Select a key file in your C:\Falcon BMS 4.33 U1\User\Config folder
You most probably will get an error as shown in Picture 1 below. This means that all the yellowish Simulation Codes that appear in the spreadsheet are not set to a key in your key file. You must set those keys if you want the Falcon MFD 2 app to work. You can test the app using this key file temporarily, which has all the Simulation Codes set properly: BMS Saitek X-52.key. Also, you can use my personal key file for the Logitech Extreme 3D Pro.

Once you have all the Simulation Cods set, the server is running and nothing else must be done here. We can now launch the client application in your Android device.

Client Configuration

1. Install the client from Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=arifkomurculer.falconmfd&hl=en1.

2. Launch the app and click on the green button on the top left corner, and select 'SET'

2. Check that the Server settings and Client settings are correct:

Server 'IP address' and 'Listen Port' must be the same as Figure 1 of previous section 'IP List' and 'Server port'.
Client IP address must be the actual IP address of the Android Device. Note that for the app to work, both the server and the client must be under the same network.

If some of the settings are not correct, you must tap on the affected setting and change it. Note that when you tap in one of the settings, the Android keyboard will pop up and block the setting dialog. In order to be able to save any change, you must go through the remaining settings by tapping 'Next' until you reach the last setting, so the keyboard will disappear and you will be able to save the changes.

Falcon BMS key file configuration

One important step to be done in Falcon BMS simulator before going live is to select the key file configured in the Server configuration steps. For this tutorial, we used BMS Saitek X-52.key

From now on, every time you want to play Falcon BMS using the Falcon MFD 2 app, you must follow these steps:

Launch Falcon MFD 2 server in your PC
Launch Falcon MFD2 client in your Android device
Launch Falcon BMS in your PC, select a mission and fly with your new assistance device with fully integrated MFDs, ICP, DED and RWR.
