sgtduder Junior Member Registered: 12/13/08 Posts: 59 Loc: North Carolina	Have any of you out there in the inter-tubes used a touchscreen monitor in your pit build? I am in the idea phase, do they work is FSX or DCS? _________________________ Decent pooter lots or ram newish GFX card yet to be modified cougar Track IR (the wife make fun of this...)

Can be used for FSX also with a bit of imagination. Pretty sure that the dev for Helios also did touchbuddy. http://www.scsimulations.com/content.php?204 Below is my piit in A10 the lower screen and the screen on the left are touch screens...I am running Helios _________________________ Airdog \| Asus P8Z77-V Pro \| i7 2600K @ 4.0 \| 8 GB DDR3@1600mhz \| EVGA 670GTX 4GB\| Win7 64 Pro \| Hotas Warthog #02743 \| Track IR 5 \| Toshiba 47" 120hz 3D LED \| 3x Acer 23" Touchscreens \| HELIOS \|

I'm combining a large flat screen with a touch overlay. They key is to get a large enough screen. I had considered using Helios but eventually decided on a different direction. I can say though that from what I've seen in YouTube videos and from being on the forum that it is also a very good solution. In addition, those guys over there are stand up guys too. They've got a very good product. _________________________ Corsair8X virtually making history 30mm at a time
