iPad or Android Tablet as FMGS / EFB #6124

Description

I would love to use my iPad as FMGS, it would add massively to the immersion. This functon, once available, could also be used with the A380. Even more so, if one could switch on the ipad between EFB and FMGS and/or other functions, I´d consider this an absolute SOP!

I believe there are apps that allow you to use your iPad as an external monitor to your PC. Using this, you can pop out MCDU/EFB or whatever screen and simply move the window to your iPad.

This may sound stupid, but how do i pop out the FMGS/MCDU/EFB? Is there any magic to it?

BlueberryKing commented 3 years ago

You simply hold the right alt key (sometimes called Alt Gr) on your keyboard and click on the display (I can't remember if it's right or left click off of the top of my head)

I have a second monitor...could that be my dream come true?

tracernz commented 3 years ago

The problem for the MCDU is that the buttons are on the 3d model, and not on the display when it pops out...

Something similar to the MSFS Companion App would be awesome!
