What are you using for a touchscreen, the two other posters on here are using a tablet with spacedesk, is that what you’re also using?If you’re using a standard windows touchscreen check that you have the same windows scaling factor for both your main display and the touchscreen.
-
@linknet I use iPad2 10,2" with Splashtop Wired XDisplay to communicate with Windows. I have no idea what the spacedesk is.

@mel-i
I’ve just tried a trial version of Splashtop Wired XDisplay with an Android tablet and the MFD’s work without any problem.-
Are you sure that you have the callbacks set up correctly?
-
Another thing to check is that the display on the tablet has the same Windows Scale Factor as the main display.
-
-
- callbacks are set correctly for sure - I’ve checked it on my own profile and the one downloaded from danaos75
- iPad is running on same resolution 1920x1080 and same Scale Factor (100%) as main PC monitor.

Well that’s eliminated all of the reasons that I could think of for it not to work. Perhaps you might like to try the following:-
Download and run this utility https://www.mediafire.com/file/ykypo0ssmovvpgu/EventTester.exe/file and then start the profile without running BMS and this should show if any keystrokes are being generated by the profile when you tap the buttons.
-
As above but instead of using touch use the mouse to click on the buttons, clicking and holding the mouse down on a button should register with the button changing colour.
-
Add a simple push button to the profile and add any callback to it then run as above to determine if that is producing keystrokes.
-
If options 1 and 2 don’t work but option 3 does work then try using the MFDs from the F16 in the Helios Toolbox instead of those in the Falcon Simulator section.
Other than that I’m totally out of ideas.

@linknet
so I did step 1 and 2…
EventTester recorded pushing LMFD OSB 1 while clicking the mouse button on it. So the callback is OK. I don’t know why the iPad doesn’t react on touching the screen - or it reacts but doesn’t realize callback (when I touch iPad on LMFD OSB 1 the only reaction is the mouse coursor apearing on that button).
But I also noticed something weird - that mouse coursor behave like “with the left button pressed constantly” so when I drag the coursor with a finger it draws a blue box just like “marking a few objects on the desktop”. Did I miss something on the screen settings, or what? -

I’m afraid I can’t make any comments regarding the iPad since I don’t have one, only an Android tablet. Although I did find Splashtop Wired XDisplay very buggy and in the end it just stopped working completely. I think a lot of people use Spacedesk which may be worth trying instead.Just out of interest, and to eliminate any other possibilities, could you also try step 3, that is add a simple button with one of the callbacks and see if that works for both mouse and touch.

@linknet
Thank you very much, buddy!
Downloaded Spacedesk and after very quick test I see it works.You are my hero!!!

Great, pleased to know it’s working.
