I have a T230H touchscreen and I love it, it really works great with the OH panel and the CDU.However, I can't turn rotating knobs with it as it requires press&hold functionality that I haven't been able to achieve, at least with this model.Question to PMDG: I wonder if it's possible to program those knobs in a way that apart from the typical press&hold left/right mouse button, they can also be actioned by mouse dragging for example, since that's something that can be done with a touchscreen.Not asking for it to be included in next releases or anything like that, I'm aware that it's a very particular thing that very few users would benefit from, just curiousAnd for the rest of touchcreens users, has anyone got around it somehow? Do other models have the capability of reproducing a press&hold behaviour?

Dario,I'll ask about this.

We are taking this route with our home cockpit. I have some experience with working with touchscreens to replace hardware. I'll write what we have figured out up to now tomorrow afternoon (have to get to sleep now).

Thanks so much Ryan and Eric

Ok, kinda forgot to reply. We are looking to supplement our home cockpit with touch surfaces. I have used screens from Keytech for a virtual organ console we built and they worked wonderfully to replace hardware knobs. For that we used Apple OS X. But I have tested in Windows Vista and I was able to replicate the hold to right click, tough I have to confess I didn't try it in Flight Simulator. What I did try in FS X was multi-touch. As we have a two person cockpit we needed to be able to do things simultaneously. However Windows 7's multi-touch capability is only transfered to software written for it, and FS X only sees the one input. In any case, even the touch and hold to right click is not an appropriate option for manipulating knobs - too hard to work that way. The ideal case could be multi-touch gestures (grabbing the knob and rotating your 3 fingers). However that would require FS X (or MS Flight) itself to add multi-touch functionality with specific gestures, and that is only wishful thinking. Otherwise, a simpler solution would be to write the panel CFG with click-spot with simple left clicks. Or, a UI developer could write a driver that could take the multi-touch information and send it over as expected commands by FS (eg. click over a place and drag finger up would send scroll wheel up until released).I wonder how those CBT simulators they created for A380 with multiple touch-screens handle this: multi-touch on multiple click-spots.
