November 15, 20205 yr Touch Portal is a nice app that let's you define buttons on a tablet or smart phone for controlling sim functions. It seems to work well with MSFS https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/589200-best-use-of-a-tablet-ever/ , but I have not been able to get it working with P3D4 or 5. Has anyone been able to do this, or can confirm it won't work for some reason? Thanks, Al Edited November 15, 20205 yr by ark
November 15, 20205 yr If it's like my Stream Deck boxes, which similarly act as virtual keyboards, it has to run as admin for P3D to see the key presses. Win 10 does an overprotective job of preventing autorun startup programs from running as admin, so I have to start the Stream Deck software after boot as admin.

Thanks Bob, I think that was the issue! Al
November 18, 20205 yr I think it would be great if we had a Touch-Portal support forum and library so we could share icons, buttons and templates for Touch-Portal. Hint Hint. Jeff Callender
