Perfect Device for touch-buddy 2? (Ipad)

Urban · 02-02-2010, 02:07 PM

Just in case youve not heard

I behold the Apple Ipad Apple

YouTube - The Official Apple iPad Tablet Keynote Address Video (January 27, 2010)

This think is going to be great for pit builders, all we need is a touch-buddy application available for it on itunes

It would be powerful enough to do all the dials, radars maps and stuff, linked to your sim via wifi

I wish I could program because I'd make the app myself, It would probably be a good earner via the Itunes app store

I thought exactly the same thing. I have never used touchbuddy because I dont have a touch screen and I already have a 3 screen gaming set up so no room for another anyway.

Here is my attempt using graphics from WBK's il2 profile. Right now you supply the graphics and an XML file describing all the locations and what the buttons do. The iphone/ipad/ipod (this will work on all of them) talks to another program I have written which converts the command you associated with the button to something else, generally a keyboard key, macro or possibly a plugin.

Here are a couple youtube vids showing it. The first has a basic screen showing the interaction with the computer and the second is a bit closer on the iphone. With the ipad there will be a lot more real estate, more then the average 7 or 8" screen people are using.

Of course for people who want to run touchbuddy then you can also use the ipad with remote desktop to show the touchbuddy interface. This should work great but I think you need two pc's set up in client server mode.

Looks like a cool app.

I too don't have the room for another screen, but have a Ipod touch.
