iControl DCS 17+

Having CDU easily reachable is a godsend. Great app.
I only gave four stars as the battery panel in the coldstart screen is badly positioned when in portrait orientation, not entirely rendered and obscured behind another panel. A rarely used screen for me but I can't give a perfect score if I see something is not perfect.

I've been using this for a long time now, turns my home PC into a mini sim-pit. Kinda amazed at how easy it is to set up. Turn the server on on your PC, hit the app and it's connected. If you only have one monitor be aware that you'll have two static repeated images of your two MFCD's so I recommend a second monitor as the latest version lets you put them on there so your main screen is uncluttered. Also, depending on the server's settings it now works in multiplayer.

Very immersive stuff, well supported, highly recommend for A-10 pilots.

This is really a great addition to the somewhat barren world of flight sim apps for the iPad.

Different people will use the iPad in different ways, personally I have it as another interface other than having to use the mouse to point and click when using the UFC, MFDs, Radios, and CDU. Others may use two and have it setup for easy reach as the 2 MFD’s are in real life.

The interface is responsive to inputs and the fps for the MFD’s (in the combo view) is up in the high 20’s for general use, it will however drop down to around 10 fps in complex fighting scenarios when you are using the TGP or Mav. Note that this is only when in the combo view, in the single view it is still up in the high 20s (this is a really great achievement IMO).

The combo screen view of the MFD’s is nice for those that don’t have 2 iPad’s (which I don’t). The software for the server side (to be installed on the desktop running DCS A-10C) is straight forward to install and setup. One point to note for those that use dual screen, that in your video card setup, make sure that the 2nd monitor is to the right of the primary (this is a limitation of DCS A-10C, not of the server config). A minor issue to be fair and one that I haven’t worried about.

Had some initial issue with the release version being able to connect via the bonjour services over my Wifi (this hasn’t been experienced by all users) however working with the dev have tested the new direct IP connection which works great.

Recommend it to those that have DCS A-10C, now, wouldn’t it be great if a mission briefing and checklist component be integrated into this as well!
