Custom Control Pad + Sneak Peek video

[L.J. Silver]

Since i've been trying to build a stock space plane that could bring 8 kerbals to a LKO station and land safely back at KSC, i made a space plane specific layout

As you can see there are no joysticks or controls, that's beacouse i fly planes with a joystick, then when in orbit a swipe with 2 fingers on iPad screen to switch to "orbit" layout and have docking controls (I stop using joystick in orbit).

Here is full setup plane setup

And... very few days ago i finally managed to have my spaceplane take off from runway, reach orbit, dock with 100K space station, deliver 8 kerbals and land safely back !!!!! I'm super happy, it was a long lasting personal challenge. (Huge air intake and Vertical speed gauges where very helpful)

And here is the space plane re-entering in flames

Looks great! Still can't wait to try it!

I'm not sure I'd want to use my iPad as a controller for KSP, but would it be possible to output a Mechjeb/Kerbal Engineer style display to it? Basically using it as an external monitor for gauges, orbit stats, etc.

You can do this with Telemachus. Not just stats but also basic control. But it's split into different tabs so you can just check stats.

Can I get in on the beta test for the android version?

[L.J. Silver]

Whens the next release roll out to the beta testers?

We are struggling with certificates on windows, we have to install a driver for virtual joysticks, have requested and just (2 hours ago) obtained a certificate from thrusted authority, we are now trying to figure out how to embed it in our installer. As soon as the certificate problem is solved, new beta will ship with a lot of cool new features (Layout web download and sharing included in the app, so you can create a layout for a game or application and share it with other users ! )

Is it too late to get in on the Android Version Beta Testing?

What is Telemachus? I have an iPad and a laptop with Bluetooth and I want to do the same!

telemachus is a plugin to display some things like altitude,temp,speed .... .....

Holy cow, this is such an awesome idea. Money will be thrown your way upon release.

I can easily answer that for you, I use a Dell Win 8 machine in conjunction with my iPad mini whilst testing this, works perfectly

[drtedastro]

is there a version that will work on pc, separate machine, yet????

thanks.

A release date by chance? I would love to try this... Or has it been released and I just missed it.

[Toyotawolf]

It has not been released yet, and there is no beta released yet for PC to the testers as of yet to the best of my knowledge.

[iDan122]

I want it, now.

[L.J. Silver]

Very happy to write that we have shipped latest beta build to testers, bringing indicators and joysticks (mac and windows). Also KSP plugin improved quite a bit with some bug fixes and new data and functionalities.

[JewelShisen]

Can I get on with the Android Beta?

[drtedastro]

Sounds good. Hope testing goes ok, and we can play with it soon.....

[L.J. Silver]

Can I get on with the Android Beta?

Thanks for your interest ! Android beta hasn't yet started, we are waiting to have version 1.0 complete and released on iOS, collect data, improve stuff and release 1.1 update with Android support. (also, working on more advanced SDK, and waiting for that to move on on Android version).

At the moment, you can email us with your infos, and when time will come we will select beta testers for android among those who emailed.

Feature Showcase!

Would it work on iphone too? Maybe just a big ABORT button and a stage button?

You can create your own custom layouts. So yes. Eventually when they get readouts working you could just use it as a map view type thing.

Here are the actual iPhone default layouts for KSP :

Plus as BlazingAngel pointed out, you can edit them, modify them or create new ones.

We are working on video tutorials for CCP in general and some KSP specific ones, but one thing to notice is that ALL buttons and data displays you see in the screenshot i'm posting are WORKING, BlazingAngel video is basically showing the application WITHOUT the KSP mod active, so simple keyboard simulation.

More soon, and great thanks for all the feedback !
