Anyone use a touchscreen monitor?

[fortysixandtwo]

I was thinking of adding any monitor since right now I just have the pc hooked up to the projector. I was wondering if anyone used a touchscreen type monitor or if you use a regular monitor along with some sort of wifi mouse to make adjustments while playing.

I use a wireless keyboard mouse from eBay China. They are like 20 bucks. I have this one. It fits in my pocket while I play, is Bluetooth amd cheaper than a touch screen.

Touch screen monitor. Acer 232HL. Touch screens are generally what most commercial installs use.

Is this what to have if you use gc2

You don't have to have this for GC2... It's more for controlling TGC, the sim software.

Just be aware that TGC doesn't work with touch screen monitors. You'll need keyboard/mouse to use it. The wireless/bluetooth ones work well though.

How does TGC not work with touch screens? Mine works.

Thanks! I picked up a keyboard/mouse combo on Amazon. Maybe in the future tgc will add something like that..

aja please post a video on that with how you were able to get it to work I have a touchscreen also and it runs protee 2.0 perfectly but on tgc it works but there is limitations on it with the menu, club options and a few other things i would love to be able to use it

No video to show. Touchscreens "work" with TGC, but as you point out there are limitations caused by the fact that TGC doesn't give you "on screen" options to invoke.

The touchscreen is effective only to invoke the controls that are available on the display, of which there are, unfortunately, only a few.

I have been subtly and not so subtly pointing this out to ProTee and hoping that they take notice.

In the meantime, with the guidance of a more knowledgeable forum member I am developing an onscreen interface - picture attached. You can consider it an add-on to the current TGC

To not have the ability to control TGC from a touchscreen is a serious shortcoming which should be fixed.




software.

I agree 1000% on that if you get it working please share I would love to put away the ipad and use my touch screen independently, a lot of money hanging on the wall waiting to be used...thank you for the update

What resolution are you using for TGC? Also, do you run it in "windowed" mode?

I'm designing this for my resolution which is 1024 x 768 but it can be adjusted to suit other images.

[aeroburner]

running 1920 and non windowed

I use a touchscreen monitor too.
Works perfectly in FSX and works for most things in TGC.
