This is a G3000 style flight display (PFD + MFD + TSC) for android devices (tablets recommended).

You can add your own definitions for gauges to add aircraft you personally own but it already includes some defaults for all planes from the premium deluxe edition (made to my liking so feel free to modify).

Took a long time to create but I hope people will enjoy it and get some use out of it. It uses your local network so you can use it anywhere as long as you're connected to the same network.

If you feel like a feature is missing or find any bugs let me know. (preferebly by opening an issue on github, there you can also check if someone else opened an issue addressing the same problem as you have)

Also note that I cannot fix all issues, some are inherent to the limitations of the variables provided by the SimConnect SDK

For those of you that like spaghetti:

NOTES:
- I changed the way the definitions are saved and their location too. I however made sure to make the saves all backwards compatible, you should be able to use your old definitions (stored in C:\Users\Mikey\AppData\Roaming\MKootstra\Gauge Designer\Definitions
- This was a very big reworking of the project, due to that there are probably a lot of bugs that I've not yet found. If you do find any, please let me now by opening an issue on github (and check if someone else didn't post the issue already)
- Since I switched to cmake for my build tools (instead of qmake) I can currently not create a multi abi (the architecture of the cpu of your android device) apk file, for most of you the arm64-v8a version should be right, and for older devices most likely armeabi-v7a. If you don't know which abi you should get, install something like AIDA64 and look for CPU>Instruction Set
- I changed some definitions, so some probably got a bit messed up, but you can use the designer to fix them to your liking

- If automatic connection does not work, you can connect manually by clicking the connection state dot in the app (the red/green/spinning circle in the topleft of the leftmost screen)

I will probably create a new manual soon when I have the time

Looking forward for the ATR

Hi, great work! How can I change something on the PFD? When I open GaugeDesigner, always the Engines, Fuels and staffs come up from the MFD.

This is one of the best addons in the site. I've been using this for a while in an old tablet and oh man, it changes everything. Thank you.

Question: Yesterday I was doing an ILS approach and noticed the Green CDI of the LOC wasn't showing up in the tablet (but it was on the plane, the default King Air 350i). The GS was there without problems. Is this a bug or I'm missing something?

EDIT: After a couple test, I noticed the Green CDI never shows up

This is excellent. Just as good as the payware stuff, probably better to be fair. Hoping ipad version at some point but understand Apple are being a blocker here. Well done to the dev, super effort and much appreciated by the comunity.

Just wonderful plugin to use with the tablet, very happy

I cannot get a connection with Simconnect (=red). I do have a connection with the app on the tablet (=green). I have configured the firewall as described.

I have no problems with another app that also communicates via simconnect, so I think Simconnect works well.

I've been looking at it for 2 evenings..... What could go wrong?

FeGo

This is superb, I love having a second screen where I can keep an eye on the fundamentals while out flying. One request would be for two clients to be able to connect at the same time so I could have both screens displaying on two separate tablets.

Donka

fantastic, I can't go without it. thanks

MurphymcFly

As I said. Excellent app. But, in NAV mode the CDI green needle doesn't show up (the part that moves sideways). Am I doing something wrong or is it a known issue?

Arcadian

fantastico, this is really good app !

darshonaut

Hi, great app, five stars! But is it possible to change the units of the existing aircrafts, for example trq from nm to ft-lb like in the ingame panel?

edit: found it thanks

searchkaine

Actually amazing. Well done, and thanks so much

Coldy

On the VFR enhanced map, can you change the plane icon to something not so cartoonish? Please?

Message to the creator of the plugin: Would it be possible to upload everything in a single ZIP file?

I am referring above all to the Android APK's, since currently due to the modification of the website it is only allowed to download the last file which only contains the "Simconnect Server Installer" and "Gauge Designer Installer".

Android APKS cannot be downloaded or found on the website.

I am using your application and it works very well as long as all the devices are on the same NETWORK and the firewall is correctly configured in the port opening.

Greetings

Now it isn't working for me too, as gjl_creative said

Getting "DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN" on tablet and gibberish text if I try to connect from a laptop 😞

Tried on localhost and it doesn't work either, gibberish text

Kassadgla

I'm really disappointed in the latest version. It simply doesn't work.

Just an endless failed-to-connect cycle with zero instructions

how to get on tablets.. sorry cant find info on that.. got server and gauge on computer thanks

I just uploaded the APK to my dropbox and downloaded on the tablet from there.

simmsparksfs

Please let us know how to set the Min and Max values of the gauges. I can't enter numbers there in any way (except 0)

It's a great app, but it's not possible to make or edit meters yourself!

Unfortunately, the gauge designer is currently broken. I have reported it to the dev and also added the note on the GitHub but no response. Hope all is okay with the dev and this project is still active.

Is it necessary to use one of the apk for the android device or is it possible to open the IP URL by Android browser and use it as browser application?

You need to use one of the APKs.

*** PLEASE READ LAST COMMENT... THAT IS THE (VERIFIED) FIX FOR IP CONNECTION PROBLEMS ***

It's a great app and I have been using it for a few months now with no problem. I upgraded and the latest server version now tries to connect to an interface that's not connected to the default gateway - in my case, a virtual interface 192.168.56.1 used by virtualbox, rather than the one connected to the default gateway (192.168.0.1) of 192.168.0.10. Which means I can't connect to it from my android tablet anymore, because that 192.168.56.x interface isn't external. Is there an option to override the "automatic" interface selection of the server, as it's plain getting it wrong and defaulting to the wrong one. I suspect this isn't an issue for people who have exactly one interface in their ipconfig, but is going to be pot luck for anybody that has more than one interface, virtual or physical, i.e. VPNs, virtual machines. Happy to provide more info if it would help, or be a beta tester for this, as it's my favourite addon 😊

OK, I have been doing some digging around in initializeServer.cpp and I can see the only checks you can do are to see if it's ipv4 and not localhost. Apparently Qt is SO GOOD that it doesn't have a method to report the local gateway. But this stackoverflow had a good suggestion - ignore any interface that ends in .1

Reasoning being, any virtual non-loopback interface (such as VPN, VM) will end in a .1 because it's commonly used as the gateway.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13835989/get-local-ip-address-in-qt

But that's a bit messy. I can see you are storing lastUsedAddress and lastUsedPort somewhere, so when I find if that's registry or file as an interim I guess I can edit that. Does this help? 😊

Still can't make it work 😞. I made the msfs companion app work on mobile using 192.168....:4000 ip address even if it was recommending 169.254....:4000 ip address. I tried doing the same with this app which shows 169.254....:1396 ip address, but couldn't get it to work. In touch portal also it works with 192.168 ip address. Touch portal actually shows few ip address i can adjust. In the screenshots of this app also its showing 192. ip address. Please make it work. I've given many hours trying to make this app work 😞 😀.

if you are comfortable using regedit, quit the app and change this key to your "proper" IP address - in most cases the one that begins with 192.168 - that's the one with the default gateway in ipconfig.

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\MKootstra\SimconnectServer\lastUsedAddress

I think the author has changed the way the program "automatically" connects on the server side and it has broken the functionality for those of us with more than one virtual or physical interface.

Fire back up the server and you should see it's now awaiting for connections on 192.168.x.x

mayday someone can helps me ? maydayyyyy flysafe everyone !

yes, same problem here, can't connect my mobile even with correct ip and port.
