November 20, 201213 yr Hello NGX pilots! I just made a new tool, which enables you to enter 737 NGX's FMC input with "TOUCH" screen of your mobile devices. FsMobileFMC is extremely lightweight so it has nearly no effect on FS performance. It works with any mobile devices(Smartphone or tablet, Android or iOS). You don't need to install any mobile apps, but can just use the web browser(Chrome or Safari). One bad thing is that It only displays input keys excluding output screen, so you also have to look at FMC output screen on PC. You can download at my blog or avsim. I hope it is helpful to NGX pilots. Any feedbacks are welcome! Dongjin Shin Seoul, Korea Dongjin Shin
November 20, 201213 yr Wow..interesting! I'm going to try this out this weekend on my iphone. AJ Pongress
November 21, 201213 yr Thank's this was really a nice and useful utility I was really waiting this one. I hope if you menage to get agreement with PMDG to do a complete set of interface also for other panel. On looking on your blog you did really nice tool, Airline Route Mapper is fantastic. Thank you
November 21, 201213 yr This seems very cool, and I can't wait to try it on my next flight. Thank for making this. Alfredo Terrero

November 21, 201213 yr Hi Dongjin Shin I tried on Iphone but the dimension of the button are too small, on the I pad I imagine there are no problem. If you want I can give you my help for graphic element like button I have an FMC in Photoshop. Let me know
November 21, 201213 yr Author Thanks guys for the comments! and Hi Fabrizio Pascucci, Airline Route Mapper is not made by me, so please thank to "cockpitvisit" I just modified the data to include ICAO code. I tested on iPhone too, Safari draws buttons as ellipse. Is it too small to press? Will it be better if they're an image? Actually I'm trying to add images to the page. Your help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you! Dongjin Shin
November 21, 201213 yr Author Hi Gizmo05! I haven't tested on mozilla but it should work well, because the screen is made from only very simple HTML and javascript. It works well on IE. Thanks! Dongjin Shin
November 21, 201213 yr I'm loving this program Dongjin. One question, is there any way to make it like other mobile sites on iOS where you can't zoom in? When I touch the buttons too quickly the browser, whether Chrome or Safari, zooms in. Alfredo Terrero
November 22, 201213 yr Anyway we can get a screen output to the ios device as well? Soarbywire - Avionics Engineering

November 25, 201213 yr Author Hi Alfredo, Mobile web browsers have a function that if you double-click on the page, it is zoomed. Maybe that function makes the problem. It's easy to disable zoom but "pinch-to-zoom" is needed. I'll try to find a way to disable only "double-click to zoom" Thanks! Hi OmniAtlas, Currently we cannot get screen outputs to mobile devices. Maybe if PMDG releases SDK that includes FMC screen outputs, output will be also available on mobile. Thanks! Dongjin Shin
November 25, 201213 yr Nice work Dongjin - thanks for the share and hard work. Jason *** Disclaimer: Any resemblence of my views & tech advice to reality are purely coincidental. No living beings or real aircraft where harmed in the making. ***
