Touch Screen ans Windows 8

Featured Replies

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?

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.

Rather than jumping on a touch screen check out this device: www.leapmotion.com

 

looks very promising. For more demo videos as google ;)

Plus, big touchscreens look very very cool, but are surprisingly tiring on the arms to use continuously for any length of time.

If so, buy stock in a screen cleaner company now! :D

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

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.
