Default Using iPad as extended touchbuddy touchscreen monitor for CoD/IL2! Really Cool!!!

Some of you guys might of heard of Touchbuddy, well I got it working on my iPad to use virtual cockpit touchscreen controls in CoD (and IL2 too!) with Air Display.

It even works with nvidia surround or AMD Eyefinity!

A nice guy called Buccaneer has already created a profile for a hurricane.
Im going to try adapt it for the spit!
You can control the following with his default profile. (room to add a lot more too!)

What you will need if you want attempt this is;

1. iPad 1 or 2 (or iphone/ipod touch too - less resolution to play with obviously and you'll need to make your own screens)

2. Air Display for iPad by Avatron from the app store. (Its a bit expensive for an iPad App at $10 but it has so many more uses than just for gaming!

3. Air Display for PC from ipad.avatron.com

4. Wireless network at home

5. Touch buddy from > http://www.touch-buddy.com/forums/lo...ks.php?catid=1

6. CoD Profile from touchbuddy forum > http://www.touch-buddy.com/forums/lo...N&pp=10&page=2

7. Optional! Touchbuddy toolkit 1.3.4 > http://www.touch-buddy.com/forums/lo...N&pp=10&page=2

A couple tips.
You'll have to map the CoD keys to match the CoD profile in the readme.
You'll also need to change mouseuse=2 to mouseuse=1 in the conf.ini in your 1C softclub directory for the touch screen to work while in the game!

Ill take a video in the next couple days of it in action.
