Thank you!

..I think you are right..what I'm getting is the ability to display custom designed control panels with button, slider and rotary touch buttons.

As far as I know it doesn't give you any display FROM the Clod application.

Did a search for Keypadpro/key pad pro and couldn't find it, but I have found an app called KeyPad Plus Pro.

Is this the one that's being talked about?

I fitted the profile "for" but not implemented yet. If these are added, they are on the profile waiting for the key to be assigned to them. The switches can be removed/added to/name changed as required.

I built the profile from an RAF perspective, hence the reason why all enemy are German.

All the icons are included with the profile. So if you have the Touchbuddy Toolkit you can easily change the names to reflect the RAF as the enemy for example.

I think I understand what you are asking? Correct me if wrong.

The Map provided with my profile is the one that some kind soul provided here in the forum last year (I forget the user name - sorry). It is a static Map only, it will not display your aircrafts position.

If you press flaps down (as an example), you will go from Neutral to Down, and the animation for the flaps lever in CLoD will also go from Neutral to Down (same with the Gear selector).

On my TB Profile (remember this is for the Hurricane only), the gear selector in Clod for Port and Starboard wheels Up/Down will also change from Red/Green or vice versa. (You hear them coming up or down anyway. If you have Buttkicker, you feel them coming up or down too).

How do I change the backgrounds and buttons in your profile to fit the iPad 3's resolution? The 800x600 displays so small on there, it's actually harder to use than the regular keyboard

Everything would have to be resized and positioned in the touchbuddy app.

I was afraid of that, ok, off to tinker with it.

It allows you to create a custom keypad, even with custom images on it and several pages. It requires a vcn server installed in your computer (like the open source tightvcn that can be foun in http://www.tightvnc.com/)
Your computer needs only to have the vcn server software running, no extended desktop, no airdisplay or alike.
I did some quick tests under IL2:1946 and all was correct. I'm looking into using it for CloD because it looks promising.
I also did a quick search for a similar android application but unsecesfully.

Did you have any luck using the app with CloD?

Buccaneer,

I bought the A2A RAF map, which is a jpeg file. Could I use that as the map in touchbuddy?
