Glass cockpit on 2 iPads in Flight Simulator 2020 tutorial

[@awjvdheide]

An other option to couple Ipad is to use them as dedicated screens by using Splashtop Wired XDisplay or Duet Display on Window. Its an app on the Ipad and a client on the computer. Than you can directly pop out on the Ipad without a extra monitor because the Ipad becomes the extra monitor

[@L1f374k3r]

but you can only use one tablet.. not two :/ would be so easy if i could use both

[@fredbrull136]

Albert van der Heide I tried that app, it's a payware app fully working is € 4 euro's a month otherwise it's time limited to 10 min.

daaaaamn i was trying desperately to test all apps around to do this. but the solution was even simplier and free ! i will make this ASAP !

You da man! I followed your instruction. Now I put an old IPAD back to good use! Thanks!

Not sure why I'm here but i find your voice relaxing so i ended up watching the whole video 🤣

[@arungupta8387]

Spacedesk working well for one android tablet without aditional monitor It makes a virtual monitor and works well Unable to make the third ;) Thank u for the make of this video . Like much better Happy landings

[@sashamoss]

when you use the browser viewer to connect to server, it allows only one connection. But if you download the spacedesk app to your android device you can connect up to 16 or 32 devices. I tried to connect through browser like u did in the beginning. When I downloaded the app the problem solved. As I said you can connect only 1 machine through browser and many devices with app.

[@filipeparanhos]

I really like the Bossa Nova on the background!

[@shafeeqsyed7394]

Hey! Great video, was wondering how do you only show the instrument displays on the ipad, i followed your steps but all the ipad does is mirror the display on my PC instead of only the instrument displays please comment

[@ZL8103]

How do I move the MFD popup to the IPAD display? I tried to drag it over but it didn't work. Also my PC does not recognize the IPAD as second display. Any suggestions?

[@Wendoodoo]

I’m still confused how do u get that controls on ur screen I can only get what my laptop can see

[@Antonio-Morisco]

hi, nice tutorial. However is not easier to install simionic g1000 mfd and pfd apps into ipads and that's it? why using additional software?

[@tylerkamionek9996]

Awesome thanks for this. But do you know how to make It go on the display not the whole flight sim?

[@TheRookkie]

I use duet, you can connect the ipad directly via usb, and its super responsive (almost instant) so its perfect for pfd, but i think it costs 10 bucks

[@TheRookkie]

Gideon October you don’t need an adapter, by usb i meant usb to lighting (standard ipad/apple cable)

[@campusto]

I've actually looked into buying two Lenco TFT-1028 10" screens, they aren't that expensive (112 eur with a resolution of 1024x600). That would be the best solution.

[@HJCoelho]

On Duet can you use the iPad as a touch monitor can you press buttons etc?

[@TheRookkie]

Henrique Coelho good question! Haven’t tried on fs2020, but at least i used in excel and the touch worked pretty well (when you touch something it casts a mouse click). Also keep in mind that not all mfd or pfd have touchscreens in game, usually have “physical buttons” so you cannot interact using the ipad.

[@pilothound1582]

Awesome can you connect 2 iPads with duet?.

[@ElijahMullinss]

I have 1 problem, So when I connect my pc to my iPad it’s all fine in all but in ur iPad there is just one screen that shows your speed and stuff but for me when I connect it’s like I’m air playing my iPad to my pc so basically my msfs game is basically connect to my iPad and all I want is one screen Thank you!

[@guillaumefo]

Hey thanks for the video, how about the performances ? does a VNC system limit the performance loss ? or would it be better to use something as Xdisplay to send over the feed by cable directly from the pc to an ipad ?

I like your setup, with a tv as a monitor. I have a 27-inch monitor, and I was just thinking of getting a 43-inch TV to use with MSFS 2020. How many inches is yours?!?! Are you comfortable with that size or is it too big? ... THANK YOU

[@campusto]

It's a 49-inch. Little too big for FPS games (have to play those in window mode), but simulators work great with it! :)

[@DIYflyer]

Fantastic tutorial 👌👌👏👏. Much cheaper solution than buying a knobster along with Airmanager

[@Vitkanurek]

How can this be set multiple monotors? I have 4 monitors. DCS World is easy to set up, but I haven't figured it out yet with MSFS 2020. Please, give me an advice.

[@Wokkelp]

@@campusto Thanks for the mention about the difference between app and service mode.

[@xnewww]

Work with old iPad 1 our iPad 2?

[@campusto]

As long as the VNC client is supported, it should

[@sashamoss]

This one and spacedesk do the same trick but the problem is your gpu trying to serve another screen. Normally I get around 40 fps on MFSF 2020 and when I use apps like this, my fps drops to 25-30. So this makes around %30 fps drop which makes your sim experience very bad. It is already very difficult to get high fps on mfsf 2020 with one display and when you increase the displays it is very bad experience. When I use 2 tablets. I drop to 20 fps.

[@abdulrhmanalhashimi218]

Hello I tried it but it says error

[@harry4075]

Sorry but I don't understand how to make the display not project another monitor and be able to play the game.

[@SuperMinilux3D]

Very cool ! Do you know if there is a way to share let say a virtual desktop of windows ? (the CTRL + windows + right arrow thing) instead of a second screen ? Would be awesome for a single screen user like me :) Thank you anyway !

[@campusto]

I don't think that is possible, but you *can* "fake" a second screen in Windows. Just needs a bit more work. I couldn't dive into that one in the scope of this video, but it is totally possible! Maybe I'll do a follow up. :)

[@SuperMinilux3D]

@@campusto Oh ok, I didn't know that was possible to fake a second screen, if you do the follow up that would be great, but again thank you anyway for this tutorial :)

@@ooof5281 make sure in you windows display setting you not just mirroring you primary monitor just right click on the desktop and go down to display setting then scroll down till you see multiple monitor and make sure it says extend these displays you can also use this to make sure your second monitor is placed correctly like if you i pad is under your primary monitor you cam use the display setting to make sure the new screen is under your primary screen by default windows puts new monitors to the left of your primary monitor other then those things you should just simply be able to drag the pop out window to what ever screen you want now if you are using the ATC VOR or the Check List those you need to click the box that normally minimizes or expands window's and that will undock it from the main flight sim window and then allow you to move it to ware you want

[@rayzimmermin]

@@tuffguy007 it sounds like your Ipad is just duplicating you main screen so without having the game running right click on the Desktop and go to display settings from their scroll to the bottom ware it says multiple displays and make sure you have it set to extend these displays and not any of the others in game hold right alt unless you have changes it like i have while hovering your mouse over the glass cockpit you want to use you should see a magnifying glass icon then click the glass cockpit and it should pop up into a new window then you should be able to drag that window to your ipad and use it without track IR messing with it but to be honest i do not use track IR so i don't know if maybe that is having a conflict but it should not be conflicting me personally i use a 3d connect space mouse for POV movement

He’s essentially moving the cockpit display pop-out screens to the display behind him. Then using VNC to share display 2 (the one behind him) to the iPad.

[@coriscotupi]

@@springbok4015 So the popped-up (ALT-GR + click) display will continue to be shown on that second monitor, while at the same time it will also be mirrored onto the tablet/iPad, correct?

[@springbok4015]

@@coriscotupi As far as I'm aware, that is correct. You'd need to have a VNC server installed on your PC and sharing the second screen. The iPad can then connect to the VNC server and view/interact with the second display.

@@rayzimmermin The problem with Spacedesk is you need a fast tablet with WiFi 5g in order to get it working well. I tried it with an old Galaxy Tab and the main sim screen is a stutter fest, plus the Tab screen is slow as hell. May be the VNC server method works better, I will try it.
