Using iPad with your sim!

Post by SeeJay »

Hi all.

A little tip to you guys that want to connect your iPad with your computer.

I downloaded the Keypad app (http://www.iosproapps.com/products/keypad/)
It costs 2.70 euro and you can create as many buttons as you wish. Several types
as well. You also need to download the free VNC server program to your rig.
WiFi is required tho.

Very easy to connect and off you go with a very powerful tool.

I tested it last night with EM and it works great. Looks really cool as well LOL!

You might just have given me a proper use (and excuse) for an iPad :D

:o So, this is like a replacement for or augmentation to your computer keyboard ... with labels for the keys?

You can add any key stroke or multiple key presses in sequence or pressed simultaneously and write anything you want as label.
You can even have an image on the key instead if you want to.

Naw, I want the IPad to show the MFD. I could have three of them lined up under the main monitor (then I can adjust the view angle of the main screen to omit the MFDs.
