Using iPad as extended touchbuddy touchscreen monitor for CoD/IL2! Really Cool!!!

vnvv_stea, that question and answer was not in relation to the Android app.

In my instructional link above the guy states:

All there is to do now is to drag the TB window into the second screen on your PC.

On your android pan across to the portion of the screen that TB is in and you should see it repeated.

OK, I have one monitor, how do I get this to a "second" screen? If I can do this will panning on the tablet be enough to see it or is there a trick there also?

I tried it from the main screen but it just shows the game on the tablet.

I get 50fps on the tablet. (just kidding!)

OK, update. I could not get the Tight VNC to work. It is me I am sure.

I was however able to get iDisplay to allow me to drop a window onto my tablet and have control over it. If it works with a Chrome window, it should work with a TB window. I did this using WiFi, however, iDisplay is supposed to work through a USB connection also. I haven't been able to get this to work yet but I am going to keep on trying.

OK so I downloaded everything and connected the Ipad to the network, but I cannot get anything to show up on my ipad. I see that is has created a space "in between ' my two monitors, but when I drag the program in nothing happens. Any help???

which app are you using...Air Display or Custom Keypad?

[lensman1945]

...after playing around with the Custom Keypad app some more, for the life of me I can't see how you can import a picture to use as a background image.

However, I've found KeyPadPro which also does the business AND lets you use a background photo.

..so...no Air Display or touch buddy required if you are wanting to use an iPad as a cockpit controller.

But, if I understand correctly, you still need it to show the in-flight map or check the position of the gear indicator. Am I right?

And one question for Phat, I have read Air Display reviews where they say that a lot of CPU goes into it. This would be terrible for my PC, which needs all its CPU cycles for CoD
Any input about this?

Thank you!

OK, I loaded the TB Hurricane panel to my Android tablet and had control over the buttons. I then loaded COD. After the game loaded I hit fly. I was in the cockpit with no hit to fps BUT I could no longer see the TB panel on the tablet (screen goes black). If I alt-tab out of the game the panel comes back. I tried loading it after the game also with the same results.

My game resolution is 1440 X 900 (1920 X 1200 native). Tablet is 1280 X 800. I then changed the desktop screen res first to game res and then loaded the panel to the tablet, same result. Any ideas?

Maybe I need to resize the panel to 800 vertical pixels.

BTW, Don't worry vnvv_stea, I'm not confused. The heart of the thread is getting Touchbuddy panels to work with COD.
