Looks like the F10 map isn't fixable, sadly - did a little research and it's a problem that appears to plague all multi-monitor users. It is a little annoying but I can probably punch in the L/L of units blind on the CDU at this point (which is what I would use it for, primarily).

I don't know why the display for ground forces gets stretched across the screen, also appears to affect the FPS quite severely. It's in Beta so happy to cut them some slack and it's not a huge priority for me at this stage. I hope ED know about it and solve or provide a workaround.

I can probably live with those annoyances and at the end of the day, it's something that's a limitation on DCS's end and not the iPad software. Just need to evaluate whether iPadpit is enough at this stage or I pull the trigger on the $30 app.. wink

Ended up getting it - I hope ED do address some of the things that make multimonitor a touch annoying.

Will try it with a few missions later today but early use is very promising. Similar functionality to iPadpit (obviously) but much slicker.

Well I've got the Helios setup going... I will probably investigate using iControlDCS at the same time as the CDU in Helios is a slide out panel. I have a tactical iPad case from Flying Circle Bags that has a leg strap on it, plus the kneeboard from Flyboys.com.

The Warthog rotation was done manually using DudleyAZ's method. Scary at first to do, but effective!

This is what inspired me to get a touchscreen. smile



Mom's still in the hospital. Probably dehydration combined with arthritis. But at least it wasn't a stroke.

I can't decide if I want to try and use my office chair, or build a full cockpit and upholster it myself. Think I'll probably just use my office chair since storing a full cockpit is pretty impractical.

Maybe next weekend. Hope your mom is doing well!
