November 17, 201213 yr Hi there, Is it worth it investing in a Touch Screen for X-Plane 10 and will it be supported? In other terms, will I be able to tweak instrument on the screen with my fingers? Minos
November 17, 201213 yr Hi there, Is it worth it investing in a Touch Screen for X-Plane 10 and will it be supported? Unlikely. Don't forget X-Plane supports three different plattforms and only one of them is Windows and only a part of the Windows community will shift slowly to Windows 8 and even fewer people will buy a touch screen for their windows.

November 17, 201213 yr Rather than jumping on a touch screen check out this device: www.leapmotion.com looks very promising. For more demo videos as google F
November 18, 201213 yr Plus, big touchscreens look very very cool, but are surprisingly tiring on the arms to use continuously for any length of time. We are all connected.....

November 18, 201213 yr Yes in conjonction with: http://linuxgamingnews.org/2012/08/02/oculus-rift-step-into-the-game/ must be a cool experience. I believe already Doom3 BFG to support the above.

Don't forget X-Plane supports three different plattforms and only one of them is Windows and only a part of the Windows community will shift slowly to Windows 8 and even fewer people will buy a touch screen for their windows. within two years time ... you will have a difficult time buying a monitor thats not touchscreen (my prediction)
November 18, 201213 yr within two years time ... you will have a difficult time buying a monitor thats not touchscreen (my prediction) If so, buy stock in a screen cleaner company now!

November 18, 201213 yr Touchscreen sounds like it would be neat for some functions in a flight sim, but the fingerprints all over the screen does not appeal to the OCD in me. Rob
November 18, 201213 yr Heh heh... I second that Rob!! My droid get's bad enough. That "LEAP" that Florian brought up looks cool even if only used for work applications... IMHO... Jeff NorthLink VA - Commerce & Community in Northern North America!
November 22, 201213 yr I installed X-plane on a tablet and I could fly by touchscreen and use all cockpit buttons with ease. I used a touchscreen pen to avoid fingerprints. LEAP looks great. Need to keep my eye on that.
