iControl DCS

While the app sure needs a few tweaks here and there, it definitely provides the best interface for the MFDs and other components as well. While I understand some of the review claiming that it is only usable in a multi-monitor setup, this isn't completely true. You CAN use the app in a single monitor setup but you will have to sacrifice places for the MFDs from your screen. You can resize them and make them smaller but you will sacrifice the quality of the screen on your iPad. Using a second monitor surly provide a better experience since you can place all three exports (2 MFDs and CDU) on your second monitor and resize them to be bigger for better picture quality on your iPad screen, and leave your main screen for the beautiful cockpit view. So far, I used the app for a couple of flights including cold starts and aside from some small instances where I had to use my mouse for input (such as powering on the ILS) things were great. I definitely recommend this app for those looking to improving their Sim experience. Sure, the price tag is high and if you are worried you might try the free versions first before you decide on paying.

I had a hard time getting this app to work. After I totally gave up, I sent an email to the app developer without expecting a reply, but I was surprised when he replied to me immediately and started helping me with the thing: A true rarity in an app developer these days. He deserves 4 stars for this, if for nothing else. He helped me step-by-step via offering suggestions and tech support, till finally we got it to work the way it should...........................It had something to do with my PC resolution. So for all those having problems, try tweaking around with your resolution in DCS options menu as that might help. Full screen mode have to be NOT checked..........................UPDATE: It works well with track IR (but you gotta know how to set up the TrackIR properly). After I leant how to set up both really good..............I am now living in the skies. I really love this thing. You can't know what you are missing till you use it in-game.

If you enjoy DCS A-10C and consider purchasing some equipments to deal with MFCDs, UFC, CDU, and etc., this is the app you must have. There was an issue with multiplayer stability. But, since the 1.0.0.4 version released, the issue has been cleared. The price of about 30 bucks is nothing considering what you can get from this. You don't need to buy all the panels and displays with iControl DCS. One thing that i want to remind you is that you must have very good connection with you router to get good refresh rate. I believe you will need a N router and your server PC has to be connected with LAN not Wifi. Overall I'm very happy with the purchase. Thanks a lot for good product and support.

This app has become as important to me while flying as my TrackIR and my Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS. Easy to setup, the ability to have my MFD's literally at my fingertips makes what was once a bit of a chore (freezing my TrackIR, reaching for my mouse and trying to hit the correct OSB with my cursor) into an immersive experience. Having experimented back in the day with Falcon 4 and TouchBuddy with a Viewsonic touchscreen monitor, I can honestly say this is a dream come true and the best $30 I've spent on my hobby in a long time. Support is great as well as the author solved a problem I was having within 12 hours of posting a trouble ticket.

It took a little bit to understand how to use the app with the server component. However, after taking my time and exporting the CDU and MFDs to another monitor and reading the help pages everything works awesome. Being a real life pilot and DCS A-10 being as real as it can be it sure helps when you can actually touch the buttons on the MFD. I use Track IR Pro and time and time again I fumble around trying to move my mouse over to click the correct button and fail. For those who have troubles getting everything working just take a deep breath and read the help pages. This is a complex app connecting to a complex simulator. Stay with it. You will be glad you did. If I could request an option? Instead of the two finger swipe can you just make a small arrow or another button to switch screens? Or add the option to do so? Bravo Developers! Worth every penny!
