  • FSX 2018 - Using iPad App in Conjunction with the PC App

    Is it possible to use both apps together? For example, can you display the simulator/course on the PC app and show club and ball data on the iPad app? I am wondering if that is a viable alternative to using a second monitor with the PC app.

    i don't think it's possible but haven't tried. If it is possible I'm guessing the computer would need to be hardwired.

      Might work with the Quad since ipad uses BT and PC cannot.

      Just tested for you with my iphone and pc and yes, works simultaneously. My pc is cinnected via USB.

        Thanks for testing. This might be a decent alternative for those who cannot easily install a second monitor.

          mthunt I believe is doing something similar to this but is displaying the iPad to a TV in his sim room.

            mthunt - Are you using iPad to AirPlay (through something like an AppleTV) or are you using an HDMI adapter to display the iPad content on the TV?

                AirPlay does the same thing.

              Had Quad with fsx 2018 working on a PC in the range mode connected by wifi. Then connected an ipad with the old performance app to same quad over wifi. Both worked fine.

              Nice approach as you can then disconnect the Ipad app from Quad wifi and reconnect the Ipad to internet Wifi then email the session data as a speadsheet.

                After a few more sessions it appears that it is very inconsistent. When I connect the Ipad or the iphone apps and the FSX 2018 running PC to the Quad at the same time using Wifi …it may work 1 out of 10 times for just a few shots and then one of the 2 screens are disconnected.

                  Which one disconnects? I have issues with the Wifi disconnecting from FSX for some reason, but the Quad stays connected to the computer. And that's using only FSX.

                    If I can get the iPad preformance app working and connected to the Quad by wifi it seems to kill the wifi connection between the PC with FSX2018 and the quad after a few shots. My guess is that the quad can only really support one wifi connection at a time?

                      Yes, it does. You need to connect to the pc either through Ethernet on your home network (not direct to pc) or the usb-c cable for the quad and the. Use your iPad over WiFi.

                        My screen mirroring from the iPad to the TV works fine until I bring up the FSX Pro app, then the TV goes blank.

                        Is there some Airplay mode that I should be using other that Screen Mirroring?

                        Has Foresight restricted the iPad version of FSX Pro app from being cast to a TV?
