EasyFMC Mobile - Installation and Usage
Installation
Installation is very easy, just run the automatic installer and follow the instructions. At the end of theinstallation process, the EasyFMC Mobile Panel Updater runs to let you register the key (if necessary) and add a Data Collector Gauge Mobile in an aircraft. The Panel Updater automates the modification of the panel.cfg so you don't have to do it manually. Just remember that 2 Data Collector Gauges are available, 1 for Airbus and 1 for Boeing, so you should use the one that corresponds to the look-and-feel you want to use (Airbus or Boeing).
At any time, you can launch the Panel Updater from the Windows Start menu, in the “EasyFMC Mobile for FSX” section, you have the “Panel Updater” shortcut.
For more information about the Panel Updater, please refer to the next section.
Usage
Please read and follow the steps
1) Run the simulator
When this is
done, you just have to run the simulator (FSX/P3D/FS2004), select an
aircraft that has a Data Collector Gauge Mobile.
The first time you do this, you will get a security warning like this:
Just click "Run" to let it go.
To
avoid seeing this message each time you run the sim, declare the gauge as a
trusted module by clicking "Yes" when you see this message.
2) Run EasyFMC Mobile Server
You can do this using the Windows Start menu or easier, using the shortcut that was created on the desktop:
When running the Server for the first time, you may have a security warning from the Winodws firewall that looks like this:
Just click "Allow access" to let the server run properly.
The Server opens a new window and indicates the URL you can use in your web browser to use EasyFMC Mobile.
Then you can run your favorite flight simulator (FSX, P3D or FS2004) and select an aircraft in which the Data Collector Gauge Mobile has been previously installed. As soon as this is done, the Server indicates the connection (it is a TCP socket connection).
3) Run the web browser
At this time, you can run a web browser and point to the URL that is indicated by the server. In this example, it is 192.168.1.15:3000
Just select the look-and-feel by clicking one of the FMC images and you're good to go...
You can run the browser on any networked computer or any mobile device, smartphone, tablet, it works everywhere !!
