December 5, 201015 yr Hello,this is what i wish: have FSX running in full screen view on main monitor and have the FMS displayed on second touch screen monitor. I also wish to be able to use the FMS on second monitor using the touch input.My video card is a BFG GTX 285 OC.Does anyone have experienced this or could anyone give me advice about?

December 5, 201015 yr No problem at all, that's exacty how the Garmin 5(00) from VR-Insight works: A second touch-screen to a second input on your video card, with a separate USB cable from the touch screen to your PC to send your touch actions as mouse inputs. The GPS-5 setup includes starting FSX, calling-up and then undocking the GPS window, sizing it to the GPS-5 touch monitor size and sliding it over to the touch monitor. The buttons on the GPS-5 device are not wired at all, they just touch the VR-Insight monitor.What you desvribe you want to do is exactly the same, except you will be using a larger monitor, no hardware "buttons", and the FMC instead of the GPS.Cheers,- jahman.
December 5, 201015 yr Author Jahman, thank you so much for the quick answer!I will order the touch screen monitor soon. I understand I will be able to use the FMC of Level-D 767 as well, right?

December 6, 201015 yr You're welcome! You should be able to use any software with your touch screen that you use with your mouse. So once you decide on the touch-screen you want to buy, if you want to be really sure, contact the manufacturer of the screen and confirm the touch part of the screen behaves as a standard USB mouse (it should) and you're set.Cheers,- jahman.
December 6, 201015 yr Author Jahman, thank you so much! So nice to have friends on here!Ciao.

December 10, 201015 yr No problem at all, that's exacty how the Garmin 5(00) from VR-Insight works: No its not ;) none of the VRi hardware has touch screens on them, every single button and dial is real and can be programmed through FSUIPC. Cheers, Andy.
December 10, 201015 yr No its not ;) none of the VRi hardware has touch screens on them, every single button and dial is real and can be programmed through FSUIPC.Thanks for the correction, I see I misunderstood the information on the VRi web.Cheers,- jahman.

This is too bad because the monitor looks nice.The DC-3 is a great aircraft and so smooth and predictable to fly: Fly her according to spec and you get a lot of satisfaction, but she is also very unforgiving of poor airmanship, especially when landing on a narrow strip in a crosswind. A particular approach I enjoy to keep my flying skills in shape is a straight-in to RWY 17 at Kernville, CA (L05) (with 5m terrain mesh and 1.2m/Px photoscenery).Cheers,- jahman.

December 15, 201015 yr Alberto,Please let us know how this monitor works for you. It looks like an interesting way of doing things.Brian https://www.mediafire.com/view/dz3buh31pti9cej/BoeingDriverSignature.jpg/file
December 17, 201015 yr Author Sorry folks, have been away for business and couldn't answer.Ok, I got the monitor today and here are the very first impressions:1) the only connection to PC is through the USB cable2) at the moment I am able to run the second monitor only with FS in windowed mode3) haven't configured yet the touchscreen function but using the mouse it is working great.Here is a picture Intel Core i7 2600K @ 4.60GHz | Corsair Vengeance Pro 16 GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 1600MHz (9-9-9-24) | ASUSTeK P8P67 DELUXE | EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB Superclocked ACX 2.0+ | Samsung SSD 860 EVO 2TB | Crucial CT1000MX500 1TB | 2 x Western Digital WDC WD40EZRX 4TB | Creative X-Fi Audio Processor | NEC 24WMGX3 MultiSync | Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
