iApp for American Truck Simulator

Would SCS care about an iPad or iPhone App to be used for the Route Advisor you can display next to your monitor?

There are many Apps that will display your screen on a mobile device such as Air Display and iDisplay so you can use your iPad or iPhone for the Route Advisor but one thing is missing and that is to get the Route Advisor full screen.

Can SCS get the Route Advisor full screen?

I really love that idea. DCS World has therid party software that does it. Also FSX, and FSX steam edition. please SCS or a, programer out there please do this.

Agree with above poster that it would be a great idea, the problem I see is that unlike the hud and instruments in games like FSX, the route advisor is not a seperate entity on screen, with modding you can change it's position on our screen but you can not place it on a second screen. For any form of ios or android (or windows) mobile app to display it, the route advisor must be made a seperate screen item that can be placed outside of the main game screen / is dragable

I really would love if SCS would decide to take youir idea and implement it, it would have the extra advantage for " us non mobile app users" to place the routeadvisor somewhere WE like it to be. The route advisor mod I use is a great solution for now but I would love it if I could place it on my second monitor

It's easy enough to get the RA fullscreen by modding it, the problem is how to drive with a full-screen RA in the way -.-?

As Mavadelo says, the RA needs to be instantiated independantly of the main view window. There is another solution however. You could use the Telemetry SDK combined with a mobile app that displays the relevant information any way you want, including an RA look-alike I guess. Much the same as the other HUD apps do for racing sims.

Are you refering to an app like trainmapslive? In case you never heard of it, it is a small standalone program that TS2016 users use to follow the trainroute on google maps, off course in TS the distances in the routes are 1:1 and the routes are actually geolocated. This makes this particular program off course of no use in ATS due to the different scales, not only in regards to google maps but also in regards to ETS2/ATS and even map regions (highway vs city etc). And of course the ETS2/ATS maps are not geolocated. I think even that these different scales on the same map will be the bigest issue for anyone wanting to create such a mod

A bit of fussing around, but it appears to work. You will still have the Route Advisor on your main
display, but at least you can get a full screen image of it on an iPad.
