Yes it will, but if your mouse will work on it, ie your mouse will go from the first (main) screen to the second screen, no idea. Best to ask in the Helios boards.

I've been playing with it and mocked up the dials and UFC and it will allow me to click but I don't know how to make the dials and everything work yet (is it hard?) but it's looking like a goer! biggrin

Right now it only works on the iPad. Given the likelyhood that Apple is going to release a much higher resolution iPad in the near future, I will probably be recreating all the graphical assets. If that happens, I'll be in a much better position to start looking at supporting other devices with different resolutions... Like iPod touches and iPhones. Smile2

Would be awesome for an iPhone thanks for looking into the possibility! I'd love to be able to switch thru a handful of panels on my phone. I'd love to do that with an iPad too but its still out of my price range.

If anyone has thoughts on what kind of panel layout would work on a phone, I'm open to suggestions!

The problem I have right now is there's just not enough room on the small display of an iPhone to create something with more than 6-8 buttons at once that you'd be able to use with any kind of precision while trying to fly at the same time. At least that's how it feels to me.

I agree. That said, I can see an iPhone being a great accessory to the iPad using your server application for DCS.

-Perhaps the iPhone could display/command the in-game com's menu (what you see when you press "\")? I could see placing it right under my center monitor,allowing me to see subtitled comm's come in, perhaps without needing to display the subtitles on the main screen.

-It also could make a nice home for a warning lights panel.

-For those users not fortunate enough to have a dedicated hotas, using the iphone screen to display the Throttle/Stick buttons (needed for manipulating many of the advanced features) might be handy)

-Perhaps add a sim control "panel" -that is to say a panel that controls simulator functions like time warp and camera views could work?

::shrugs:: just some thoughts

I completely agree and would love to do that! I investigated it a while ago and here doesn't seem to be any way to access the radio comms menu via scripting. Such a shame because it really would be a hell of a lot easier than having to reach for F keys.

If anyone knows of a way to access the comms via lua, I'm all ears!

Boarder, thanks for this fantastic app. I have a few questions.

Although I haven't purchased it yet, as I have no iPad, I have decided to take the plunge, sort of. I am debating between the upcoming Galaxy 10.1 due this month and the iPad or even an iPad2. I prefer to stick with Android but really want this app and was curious if you have made a commitment on importing it to Android and if so, what might the ETA be?

Lastly, since I own a Warthog, can some of the pages be disabled or edited, since they are redundant with many of the features built into the Warthog, such as the autopilot, flaps, safeties, etc.

Thanks and again, really liking what I've seen so far.
