Hi All,I was snooping around for a way to get the FMC to display (and interact) with an iPad 2, which would be miles more helpful when setting up my new -700NGXYou have to have 2 monitors running.Using LogMeIn on the PC, download the application, create a free account, install, and, set the source to your secondary monitorDownload LogMeIn on your iPad from the App Store. Connect the two computers, again remember to set the source to your secondary monitor on the iPad.Drag the FMC to your second monitor, stretch it out, and boom, a full on FMC solution for your iPad and the wonderful NGX

Another option for you is air display. It will allow you to use your iPad as another monitor.. A note of warning... You must start fsx before you setup air display or fsx will complain about video driver issues..DJuan Carter

With air display I find I have to leave a little bit of the FMC on the main display as well, otherwise it works well.

I'm able to run full screen and not need to mess around with having the FMC partially up on another monitor at all with LogMeIn

Thanks for sharing, that sounds like a very good idea. Do you have to run FSX in windowed mode for this?

Not at all! Runs Fullscreen! , Just drag the CDU onto your second monitor, and it should pop up into the LogMeIn Screen on your iPad provided you have it set to that monitor. and don't forget to turn host volume up from the iPad (It's your pc volume) Best of all, it's free!

Okay thanks for that, this is very exciting news.

I got Air display and I can't run it in full screen also it's too slow and not really usable ? Any ideas .I have ipad 2

Just curious as I keep looking for excuses to purchase an Ipad (so far haven't found any), how is this better than just having the FMC on your second monitor as I do?Bruceb

@brucewtbNot that I have a (i)pad, but you can touch the screen and enter your data with your fingers instead of using the mouse.Maikel Rozemeijer.

I take it you have to undock the FMC window from FSX for this to work, so you can drag it to another screen? (right click the FMC -> Undock)Becuase i use an external frame limiter (the setting in the new nVidia drivers), i find my FPS drops by half when i undock a window.Still, this could be a seriously good tradeoff.

Hi All,Interresting, will give it a try. Just one question: I already use a second monitor to display the PFD and ND. Will the iPad (iPad 1 by the way, should I expect less performance?) be detected as a third monitor?Thanks,Fabrice

... and don't forget to turn host volume up from the iPad (It's your pc volume)

Sorry, what do you mean by this? The iPad will control the PC volume?Also, any noticeable lag?

There is a noticeable delay, but it is tiny and the FMC is fully usable for entering routes quickly and easily. I find it extremely efficientI've been messing with the host volume feature and apparently turning it all the way down on the iPad allows audio to be routed out of the PC and not the iPad.The host volume is located under the settings tab once you have successfully connected to your PC.

The iPad is not going to be detected as a third monitor, it is simply cloning the monitor you select in LogMeIn (So you could have the PFD/ND display on the iPad) From what I can tell, there's maybe a 1-2fps drop in performance, but it's not really noticeable.

First, thanks for posting this. I've been looking for exactly this solution. A couple of questions:1. I get how to make the iPad display what's on the second monitor, but what do you mean by the underlined bit above? Exactly how do you do that and what's the purpose?2. Is there any way to get rid of the annoying LogMeIn cursor (with the big blue ball) on the iPad? It's constantly getting in the way because it always places itself at the location where you last touched the FMC on the iPad.As for the small lag -- I found that one way to reduce this is to go into the LogMeIn settings on the iPad after connecting to the main computer and lower the image quality a few notches down from "HD" .. or just put it on "Auto".Thanks.
