I read the OP's post and thought I'd try it out.

This is great, similar to AirManager & Knobster for $17.00 :)

I did a screen shot of the Cessna 172 main gauges and added transparent buttons to them.

Now I can control the knobs that are associated with the gauges by a simple touch.

I have touch to move the knob 1 increment, and a hold state for moving fast.

I just picked up the pro version today, so far I like this.

Thanks

Here's where the buttons will live....so far

I'll add the pages for other controls and views after.  This is sweet

@BruceT How are you sending the commands to x-plane? I want to look into creating pages for common commands on the airbus and I've found the dataref commands to use but I'm not sure how to send it to x-plane. Do you use XPUIPC or something similar?

Hi -Know this is an old thread but after the same info myself now. I can connect to MSFS using simconect but cant seem to find the majic formula to connect to XPlane. Any assistance would be much appreciated.

Those buttons are just mapped to SHIFT + CTRL + ??  buttons in XPlane.
Then in XPlane I just use the keyboard mapping to add what ever control I need
I have another page that uses a plug in that was developed off XPlaneConnect.
XPlaneConnect needs a lot of extra work to make is fully functional however
