Would Item System 2.0 allow a dedicated tablet app to function as a full external MFD?
TL;DRNobody is known to be working on a tablet app as an external MFD; moving MFD functionality to mobiGlas is possible given the controller manager's API, but with no promises.
I have not heard of anything along those lines. I'm not saying it's not possible.
It's just not something we're working on right now.
I'm not aware of anybody working on that.
I suppose we could transfer MFD functionality to mobiGlas at some point. With the right API.
The UI is Flash, at least. Potential there, but no promises at all.
I mean, with the whole new controller manager, it was designed that you could have anything register a user and say, here's his priorities, because we're using that for the AI module, we're using that for the manned turrets, we're using that for the flight, like air traffic controller, we're using that for all sorts of things. So we could have mobiGlas register the person who has these priorities and can dictate stuff. But we also have to make sure that works the same in multiplayer. So the system allows it, the API. We just have to utilize it.
