FSX-SE Using an old android tablet.

[roop298 0]

I have an old but perfectly functional Samsung tab7 that I,m unable to sell on ebay for 20 quid. Is there anything practical I can use it for?

I use fsx se, LNM, ASN, a saitek mfp and autopilot, and a ch quad.

I also have a usb panel that i undock gauges to but it can get a bit crowded with windows overlaying one another.

Any ideas?

Hi 

There is an android app call FS radio panel free and pro version. Uses you tablet to display radio com1/com2 nav1/nav2 ADF transponder, Great app has other instruments you just need to download panel server and your good to go

I use spacedesk  with my tab7 and run LNM on it.

It's got 4.2 iced cream so getting google play to work is a bit of an issue.  I'll have a play.

I'll 2nd the idea of running FS Radio on it. It's what I use with my 10" Android tablet and it's a terrific app. I find just for being able to set the radio COM and NAV radios with my touch screen is worth the $10 price alone.

For a slightly less interactive idea, you could use the tablet to display the airport charts for your flight(s).
