Summary of the main features of WebFMC:
- access CDU (FMC) from any number devices (PCs, phones, tablets etc) at a time
- simple installation - just drop WebFMC into X-Plane plugins folder
- no need to install any software on the devices, all you need is a web browser
- very lightweight and small, no visible impact on XP performance
- can look as native app on mobiles (via browser's "Add to home screen")
- supports keyboards on PC
- supports screen-only mode for cockpit builders.
To connect to WebFMC from any mobile device, you need to connect your mobile device to your local network (via WIFI), determine the address of your X-Plane's PC and connect to it, i.e. http://<ip-of-your-PC>:9090 ; do NOT use localhost nor 127.0.0.1 from your mobile as these addresses work only when connecting from same same PC (where you run X-Plane)!
The screen-only mode for cockpit builders (where all keys and UI decorations are hidden, for the purpose of getting displayed in a physical CDU frame) is described here:
Please see the documentation included in the WebFMC zip file for detailed information on how to install and use WebFMC.
Note: WebFMC uses the Google Analitics module to collect some statistical data about usage of our addon that will help us in future development. This includes statistical information about screen resolution and device model that let us optimize and improve our graphic assets and code. We DO NOT collect any data to identify users. Starting from version 1.0.1 WebFMC offers an option to opt-out (disable) these measurements, but we kindly ask you to keep this functionality enabled to help us improve WebFMC. Please see the manual included in the package for more information.
