Ron045 posted:Great Results H1000. What remote is that? Does it work with IOS and Android? I assume mapping the keys was somewhat straight forward.
I was excited when I saw your first video and started researching remotes. I found one that the phone physically connected to through the port. So it did not need batteries and did not use bluetooth since it was a direct connect. No bluetooth means no lag. I figured the phone is already bluetooth to the wifi module. No sense in stressing it out further.
I thought this was a winner until the company sent me an email today saying that the keys are not mappable. The remote works with nearly 500 games, but MTH DCS Wifi is not one of them. It was called the GameVice.
Just some friendly advice. If you did not already map e-stop to a button... you will probably want to.
Have Fun!

Hi Ron,
The first remote is an iPEGA PG-9083S from Amazon (Purchased here) and the second unit is an 8bitdo SN30 Pro + also from Amazon (Purchased here), this also has a separate add-on holder that can be purchased if you would so choose. Really any one of the 1000's of these gamepad out there should work though. The Bluetooth has virtually no noticeable lag (watch my more recent video when I turn off the headlight on & off my f3).
I'm not sure about iOS compatibility but I don't see why it shouldn't work. Key mapping is being done through another 3rd app right now and still not 100% sold on this particular app yet. I am researching so others but to emulate screen touch with a game controller on top of an app that wasn't designed for a game controller was not something that any of these smart device manufactures had in mind. 8bitdo did include a screen mapper app on their website that should support any kind of app or game but I couldn't get it to work.
Ultimately I'm hoping that the guys over at MTH (@MTH @MTH RD) take notice of what is happening here and realize that they should build support into the DCS app for alternative input instead of just the touch screen. It would make things so much easier for anyone to implement this on their own device.
