Hello,
Does anyone already tried to use a tablet or a second monitor to display MFDs ? Does it work well ?

Do you know android application and PC client application to use for one or two tablets displays ?

Thx !

don't know such stuff


The term "necroposting" was invented by a person with no social memory beyond a year. People with a similar hangup are those o.k. with the internet being transient vapor.

Second Monitor, Yes.
Exporting an MFD has a few requirements I wasn't aware of.
_________________________________
1. The MFD monitor has to be the Windows #2 monitor, it has to be to the RIGHT of monitor #1 in the Windows config, and the top edge of the two monitors have to line up. Once I met these criteria, the MFD screens would export.
2. The X-axis values for the exported screens work just fine, the Y-axis values do not.
3. The Y-axis has some scaling issues. I ended up using an mfd_screen_height of 1500 (not 768 to match the monitor) to get the Text to scale correctly without getting cut off here and there. That gave me about 256 pixels in height for the actual image on the MFD and the text on all screens looks nice and clear.

My final values are as follows:
export_mfd=1 # enables MFD export on multimon systems (0 = off, 1 = on) (def = 0)
export_mfd_adapter=0 # graphic adapter for MFD export screen (0 = first, 1 = second, ...) (def = 0)
export_mfd_screen_width=1366 # resolution of export screen (n = pixels horizontally) (def = 640)
export_mfd_screen_height=1500 # resolution of export screen (n = pixels vertically) (def = 400)
export_mfd_left_pos=0,30,590,291 # left MFD position (def = 0,0,256,256)
export_mfd_right_pos=770,30,1366,291 # right MFD position (def = 384,0,640,256)
export_mfd_single_pos=770,30,1366,291 # single MFD position (Havoc, Hind and Black Shark only) (def = 0,0,256,256)

You can find example of MFD export to android screen by VNC protocol here http://eechcentral.simhq.com/index.php?title=MFD_Export

all scaling issues was fixed in latest update, but not 100% sure
