What is best option for remote fmc for fslabs320

[jozeff 93]

Hi guys,

Do I need this app to use my android tablet as a fmc?

I understand that fslabs offers a solution through ip address but m not sure if that works well.

 

Are there better solutions to remote control the fmc?

 

thanks in advance,

Aviaworx is the best option.

Yes, for use MCDU via Aviaworx server you need to purchase a license.

FSLabs has a solution, it’s well explained in A320 Manuals. Works average ok. 
If you want to try it:

Change your PC's IP on LAN is 192.168.x.xx. and  please  enter in this address 192.168.1.30:8080/mcdu/mcdu.html

The short answer is no it's not required, as the FSLabs Scarebus natively incorporates a small webserver as part of the panel that makes the MCDU (the FMC is called a MCDU in Scarebus parlance) remote-accessible by any device with a web browser.

The (inexpensive payware) Aviaworx solution is better than the native one, though, especially if you want to put both left and right MCDUs up together, either on a split-screen browser or on multiple tablets.  I have both the MCDUs up on a pair of older 9.7" iPad 2 tablets I got for ~$100 used at MicroCenter.

Or, you can use Spacedesk (https://spacedesk.net/) This (free) software allows you to use your tablet as an extra screen. Simply drag the MCDU to tour tablet- voila. Works with all airplanes as long as you can undock the MCDU.

Does spacedesk cost a lot of fps?

I tried it but couldn't get it to work for some reason.  If I loose a lot of fps I might give up and buy avioworx  cdu.

I saw someone use the original remote mcdu and it only filled halve the android tablet screen .. didn't look that good.

 

Does avioworx look decent on a tablet?

 

 

Tnx!!

Hi jozeff,

There is a clickspot on the upper right corner, if i'm not mistaken, that enlarges the MCDU bit by bit every time you press it, making it almost fill the tablet screen. I use a Galaxy Tab S6 Lite and I think it looks ok.

I have the aviaworx CDU for the PMDG 777 and for the Majestic Q400, but I see no reason to purchase a license for the FSLabs, because for me the native one does the job just the same. But I might be missing something, it has happened a lot before...

Regards,

Bruno.

Tnx! I'll give it a try. Didn't know you could enlarge the mcdu like that.

Hi folks,

I m using the FSLabs MCDU function on my iPad. It works flawless in combination with a Firefox browser which is recommended by the deleveloper because it works flawless.

I would recommend Aviaworx because it can be fullscreen on your Ipad. The one from Fslabs can’t

Yes the FSLabs can do full screen and i use it all the time on my tablets.  On left side near top is Full Screen and then right side top are arrows to enlarge.  Works well for me and I have both left and right side on 2 tablets.

See my topic here and picture here, last time I checked Fslabs can not do fullscreen on IPad as a webapp. Also the Aviaworx looks and works beter.

I don't have an ipad but use 2 android tablets and they work great full screen with FSL.  I do use Aviaworx for PMDG, Q400 and QW787.
