Dear all,
I have just uploaded a new version of the application to Google Play. I'm sorry for the long time from the last update, I've been busy preparing my PPL classes
The update includes calibration of some instruments and communication from the android device to fgfs. Now, you can configure the radial of NAV1 and NAV2, calibrate the altimeter and use some switches (mainly, lights) Let me explain some decissions:
- Calibrate instruments by rotating around the center of the instrument, not the knob. I find this way easier for small screens.
- Communications from the device to fgfs use telnet. You MUST activate the telnet client in fgfs (option --telnet=9000). You MUST configure the IP and port of fgfs in your Android device. I will update the wiki with the new information during this day. Communication is one way, from Android to fgfs: if you switch lights off in you PC, the corresponding switch of the FlightGearMap doesn't change state!
- Heading can be calibrated, but information is not sent to fgfs. Working on that.
- I will add some additional switches: BATT, ALT and... tell me your preferences.
- If instruments are drawn wrong after selecting a panel in the menu, select the same panel again.
- If you calibrate an instrument in FlightGearMap but the panel in the PC does not move, restart FlightGearMap (not fgfs!). I recommended that you start FlightGearMap a minute AFTER fgfs is up and running in your PC. Check that switches work BEFORE taking off!
