How to setup a touchscreen for Falcon BMS for newbies
-
so… Help me out here
I recently replaced my viseo tv with a touchscreen monitor. Been playing a few games with it and have had little problem using the touchscreen to use the controls. Falcon 4 AF works great. With DCS sometimes I need to touch the button or control twice before it will respond. But with BMS there is no response from my touch input. I’ve read thru this thread but I am not using multiple monitors so it doesn’t really help. Can someone tell me whats wrong, or possibly link me to a thread that has a solution? -
You can’t control anything if you’re using the touchscreen as your main monitor.
For our uses, we use a normal screen for game display then a secondary touchscreen + Helios for cockpit controls. Take a look at this thread to give you an idea of what my setup looks like.

OK, that’s what I was afraid of. Thanks for the response Ice.

It has something to do with how the game tracks mouse input. DCS is slightly better, but as you have seen, even that needs a bit of work. AF works because you were essentially in a 2D cockpit, this is much harder to do in a 3D cockpit.
Get a simple monitor, even just a small one, and then try out the multi-monitor setup as advised. Then make your mind up if it’s for you or not

Just wondering, have any newbies to touchscreen gotten this to work. If so, what touchscreen did you use? I was hoping to do step by step directions, but I just couldn’t get my touchscreen to work. I may try again if someone else has success.
-
Can you not return the touchscreen for something else?
-
Returned it long ago Ice.
Just seeing if other newbies have gotten things to work, how they did it, and which touchscreen they used. I may try this again in a year or so.

iiyama touchscreens not available where you are? One of the possible issues with touchscreens is when you have your desktop zoom or text or icons set at a larger setting, it seems to mess with Helios. Setting these back to 100% or default solves the problem.

Hi to everyone !
I just bought a toch monitor, where I can have all gauges and MFD with buttons around them.
Very often, I found that the focus of windows is lost after touching the MFD.
I need to click with the mouse on simulator screen.Do you know if there is a trick to avoid it ?
Bye !!!
