New PSCockpit Boards

Hello everybody,
After several days of hard work, I am glad to announce that the aircores are up and running!! :yihaw: :yihaw: :yihaw:

Nevertheless, I still have to work on the software to adapt the values extracted from the sim and the scales of the gauges to the special way they work and test them on duty.

Some pictures of the new boards:

New Version of PSUDP Updated for Android 4.0

PSUdp extracts the flight data from Open Falcon, Falcon AF and Falcon BMS flight simulators acting like a server and send this data to an android mobile device running the client application PS Gauges trough the TCP/UDP net protocol.
PS UDP Falcon supports 5 clients connected at the same time so you can use five different android devices. Three of them are used for flight data, one for the left MFD, one for the right MFD and one for the HUD.

PS Gauges client application needs Android 4.0

PS Gauges can display in your mobile device the following instruments: RPM, RWR, HSI, DED, PFL, ADI, VVI, AOA, ASI, ALT, CMPSS, CP, FFI, FI, ICP, LMFD, HUD and RMFD.
 
This new version has the following changes:
- Updated PSGauges.apk for Android 4.0
- Fixed the problem with the local IP address by using the WIFI IP address.
- Update for BMS 4.32 up 6.

You can download the installation file here: PSUDPv09

Installation notes:
- Unrar the file
- Install PS UDP in your computer with PSUdpSetUp.exe
- Install PSGauges.apk in all your favorite android devices

- Enjoy
