Hi guys,

 

I'm running a multi-monitor setup with the main simulation window or one screen, and two other screens for instruments. I place the two MFDs from the Dash 8 on one screen right in front of me, and the CDU on a separate touchscreen. My big challenge this Christmas is how to do this automatically.

 

I understand that this is not straightforward, but I would think it should be possible using autohotkey and simply scripting a few mouse macros. However, I cannot get this to work!

 

No matter what kind of mouse commands I send nothing seems to happen. I have seen the mouse move around, but it appears that the mouse clicks I never sent to the simulator. Is there any specific mouseclick mode that should be used that I am not aware of? Has anyone else had any success in building scripts to move p3d screens around?

 

My plan was to left click each panel to have them pop out, then right click and choose undock window, and finally move them all to the appropriate screens using a single script.

 

Any suggestions?

Hi Frank,

 

Not sure about how to make scripts sadly - but i was wanting to know what touch screen you use?

 

Cheers

I'm using a relatively old 14 inch LG monitor, L1510SF, with a USB connection for the touch interface.

Ah ha!

 

Thanks heaps.. i just had a 10inch delivered and i cant get the darn thing to work... so i bought a USB to DVI adapter as i don't have any VGA ports on my GTX670's.. it would not work ...it only seems to be recognized by the PC if i have the VGA to DVI connector attached...but then no touch screen ability which defeats the purpose! I guess the USB is needed... my plan is now to get a USB to VGA connector running form the monitor to the VGA to DVI connector attached to the card! Grief! I thought it was going to be easy!!!!
