FSX and Touch Screens Under Win7

Featured Replies

Is anyone out there using FSX and one or more touch screen monitors running under Windows7. I want to install a medium-sized touch screen monitor and undock the overhead aircraft panel(s) - moving the panel to the TS monitor. I read that Windows7 has a touch-screen function so I was curious as to how that worked with FSX. The TS function description seems to imply that if an application has a mouse click feature, then the TS function will work.Does any undocked panel work? Do you need some additional application to provide that functionality?Thanks,Frank

Remember a touch screen is basically a left click so you will be limited in what u can do. I've used one for basic buttons, but never the overhead. The only overhead I know that has touchscreen monitors in mind is Prosim737s.

Thanks very much for your responses. I suppose even a left-click function would help during check-list button activation. The monitors aren't very expensive so maybe I'll give that a try.Regarding SimTouch - I have this setup and it works pretty well except that you're limited to their panels so you can't really use their setup for things like aircraft overheads or even cdu's. I have a VRInsight CDU-II which translates key punches for the CDU. They also have a new hardware implementation of the B737 overhead panel. However, I think I'll wait for the reviews to come in before I plunk down that much money for their unit.Again, thanks for your help.Frank
