Little Nav Map on Tablet

[Lord Farringdon 503]

I have seen a little bit of how this is done on Avsim and that other forum. But before I go down this route, there were a couple of questions that the posts I read never really answered:

Is the Spacedesk solution a resource hog?

Does using Spacedesk create lag in LNP? 

Is a tablet even necessary with a pop out window now available in MSFS?  

 

Any LNM to tablet users out there that can offer some advice on this? Should I go for tablet or pop out window (if that is indeed a workable solution since I have no idea?).

Thanks Guys. 

Cheers

Terry

Space desk sounds like a cumbersome process. Nothing like a native app on iPad. I use as LNM heavily but keep it open on a 2nd monitor along with 10 other apps. 
 

I do have a tablet and sometimes use it for charts and metar apps. So that sorta supplements LNM in some ways.

Are all these apps based on the sim computer ?

My understanding is that LNM (on your PC) runs its's own web server which allows you to open a browser on your tablet where you enter the web address of the server to connect and use LNM on the tablet. Have a look at LNM help

Yes. These are apps like pilot2atc, fsrealistic, chrome for metars, AAO for honeycomb mappings, fschatter, fsrecorder, etc. 

I don’t have any lags on my pc due to these apps. I do have a 3090 though paired with a i9 5.3 gigs.

Hi Guys,

Thanks for all your responses, much appreciated. @Space Monkey, your suggestion worked a treat and was really easy to setup. I note the Webserver version is pretty limited in what it can do, (it is only an HTML viewer really) but just for monitoring the flight, viewing the flight plan (no changes can be made)  checking out airport information and seeing other aircraft and ships in the nearby vicinity,  it is perfect! 👍👍 

 

Cheers

Hi @verbal.

I may not be the best person to answer since I don't use it but I don't think it is available for MSFS. If it was, we'd all be using it rather than grumbling about the Developer Mode recorder!!

Sky Dolly works great for recording and playback, much much better than the dev mode tools!

Didn't think so, I remember using something with the same name back in FS9

No that link points to fsx recorder. The one I referred to was the MSFS freeware  recorder which almost everyone has downloaded from Flightsim.to at some point. It’s still miles ahead of asobos recorder.

There are also Windows tablets where you can run LNM natively, if the LNM webserver mirroring to a browser is insufficient for your needs.
