August 23, 200421 yr If the screen is big enough, so that you can easily press buttons, I don't see why not. I believe I remember I heard some people did it, some builders of home cockpits.
August 24, 200421 yr I have a mictotouch (3M system)enabled HP 19inch LCD and it works very well. However you really need to make the FMC be at least the size of the actual FMC otherwise you get a lot of miss keyed typing. This type of hardware interface suits a touchscreen becuase of the large flat areas to make contact. I have tried it on the overhead panel and its too hard becuase you can't get the screen big enough to accurately place your finger tips for reliable operation.Stephen Spiers
