    Hi all!

    I am also trying to set up my Mevo+ via Airplay. How exactly did you do this?
    I am facing the problem that the password of the Mevo network seems to be too long for my BENQ projector. While the Mevo password is 32 digits, my project only allows the entry of 30 digts...

    Thanks a ton for your help!

      In my case I connected an Apple TV to my projector, and then did AirPlay from iPad (running flightscope) to the Apple TV. Although to be honest I had a lot of flaky issues and ultimately just ran a iPad cable to my projector.

      Eventually I had to replace my Mevo+ due to other issues, so not sure it the AirPlay issues were because of my unit, or if AirPlay is a little unreliable.

    can't quite understand these Airplay problems. The Apple TV DON'T need to be connected to your local wifi to be able to stream to it! You can use Airplay as a proprietary connection without disturbing your IOS device connection to your mevo. That means: you can connect your ipad to your mevo via wifi (provided by mevo) and connect your ipad via airplay to your apple tv (screen mirror) - works without any problems here on my side

      Do you establish the screen mirroring first before connecting the ipad with the Mevo+? I am having a lot of trouble with the E6 set up process. I got through the whole open mevo... open FS golf.. close Mevo... open E6... minimize e6... restart Mevo... then make sure its all working, but when i start to mirror to the appletv (connected to the projector) my shots are not registering. The Mevo red light turns green which I believe is the problem.

    Before I buy an Apple TV to hook up to my projector, does this fix the aspect ratio and zoom issue? I am also in the extremely frustrated camp with mine not coming anywhere close to filling my screen for sim play vs using the projector for normal tv watching (via Fire Stick). I never would have assumed an IPad Pro cannot change its output settings for projection, for a supposedly “pro” device.

    Essentially, my only options for filling my projector screen at this point would be a dedicated iOS laptop with E6 or going with TGC2019 and buying a gaming laptop?

    Just for information, I run an hdmi cord with usb-c adapter from my IPad Pro to the projector mounted in the ceiling of my garage for E6 sim use. For watching TV I use an Amazon fire stick streaming Netflix, Prime, ATT tv, etc.

    The picture with my son hitting shows the largest size I am able to get using the iPad to projector setup. The other picture shows how much screen is normally used when watching the fire stick via the projector.
