Hi,
I'm currently working on an app for iOS which allows you to view the cockpit instruments on your iPhone/iPad. There is still a lot of work left but I give you here a little preview to get your opinion.


Here are some screenshots





If necessary, I'll port it also to Android.

cheers,
Tex wink

An Android port would be appreciated (by me at least). Interesting tool, will be neat to see it in action.

Nice!

I like it just the way it is- very nice and clean layout smile

I don't have a tablet, but this could be an app that pushes me just that much closer to a rash decision wink

P.S. maybe consider adding a digital clock as an option.

I was also hesitating before getting an iPad and working on this app pushed me to get one wink It's a very nice device.

Looking good, are you going to have a German based gauges version (assuming that I would be selectable in th settings), this looks like a draft modern day gauge screenshot?

In the 1st version I'll have generic gauges for British, German (maybe US and Japanese) planes. In the future I will be adding via upadates gauges for each plane types (Spit, F4U, BF 109, ...)

Also good to see you using direct IP connection and not bonjour services.

What about CLOD?

Currently, CLOD does not offer any API meaning that there there is no way for a 3rd party to communicate with CLOD. I'm of course waiting that the guys from il2 release such an SDK to adapt my app for it. It should be possible in the future:

This is fabulous. Any idea when it will be available, also second question will it also be available for use on a second screen on the game computer? Has anyone already done one? I run 3 screens on port one, and a single screen on port two for use in FSX, and instrumnets on the second screen would be brilliant?

For any help out there I thank you

It's too early to say a availability date.

This is an iOS app so it wont be possible to see anything on the pc screen. If you want to use your 2nd display you might want to have a look at UdpSpeed wink

It would be nice if you were to port it to Android. Is there already an option for twin-engined aircraft? (Me likes the Lightning)

Soo .. I'm working in this app again and I'm now focusing on the map view. You'll be able to see the map as it is in the game on the device.

The map gets updated live so all what is moving in the game is moving on the iPad. Objectives and waypoints are also displayed there wink I will respect the game's difficulty meaning that if the games does not show the icons and paths on the map I will not show it neither.





Btw, if you are interested, I will post more minor development updates on my Twitter.

I'm - again - busy working on other projects so this one is - again - idle. I really hope that I will have more time to finish it though. The current state is not so far from what could be a beta version for testing. I just need to do the graphics for German planes and work a bit on the UI.

I will let you know if there is something new.

+1 on the Android port. I'd love to see this run on my Kindle Fire.

Great work, I love that these sorts of apps are being developed, especially for me any for the race sims smile

I agree on the android port, almost more than an iOS in some cases because a lot of Android tablets are priced in the impulse buy pricing range and apps like this make getting an Android tablet a no brainer even if it is just a cheapie.

Thanks for the work and look forward to seeing it in action.

Really nice. Add a page with function buttons and it will be comple.
I think many il-2 pilots would buy it. I know I would.
