Control IL2 from android tablet

Hello !

I present you what I’m working on : it’s an application running on android tablet or smartphone to control IL2


Plane


Engine

Map


Bombing








Installation:

I do not have an Android Market account, you have to install the application manually .
The simplest way is to send the .apk file as an attachement to your email and read the mail from your tablet.
First of all make sure your Android device can install software outside of Android Market (Settings → Applications and check option labeled Unknown Sources). If you want, you can uncheck it after the installation.

Read also the file named devicelink.txt that is in your IL2 instalaltion folder.

Merci Nic727 et Artist

Very Nice - a 1st step.
After some time we probably will have something similar to the old touchbuddy profiles or even better?!
I'd like to see this on playstore or here.

Hello

I didn't knew touch buddy but that's the same idea.

The main difference is that here the program communicates with IL2 via the devicelink procedure. It's not a keyboard emulation.

All keys are not available, only those provided by the DeviceLink. On the other hand, the program has access to the information sent by IL2: speed, heading, altitude, flap positions, ...

You can find my program for test, (it has a limited time life of about 1 month) , here: http://www.mediafire.com/?968yot5j01t9mgn

I have to find how I will make it avalaible on an android store (probably it won't be google play store)

PS: remember it's for a tablet with a resolution of 800 x 480

This uses bluetooth or a cable?

[Pfeil]

It probably uses Wifi. Using a LAN setup is the easiest method because Devicelink communicates using UDP.

[John'Mad'Doe]

Yes , it uses WIFI

Looks great!
I'm looking forward to the English version.

I have struggled in the past (long, long ago) to get Devicelink working so I hope there will be some good English instructions even an idiot can follow

Will it work OK on a tablet with higher resolution (mine is 1280x800) ?
