Touch Screens?

[Blowhole]

Searching E-Bay I found touch screen covers. Are these things of any use in FS?? Looks like it works like a mouse but you just touch the screen where you want to click. If that is the case this looks like a great thing to have on a multiple monitor setups. Any one know if they can be used for FS applications??

Wow. Where on Ebay? Are they expensive? They would be great for an FMS or FMC.

it all depends on the software supplied Ken.
often you can map keystrokes, so you could use them no problem..
the bigest drawback is the resolution, they are many types with differing matrix arrays, some can sense, say, within a 1" square only, some can sense far smaller. If you have the software, AND are prepared to design your own image then kewl, if you intend to map the touch are to an existing panel display, then you may find, depending on the resolution, that you cannot accurately place the touch areas..

Thanks, I'll wait and see if someone else can get them to work first. I don't have the $$ to experiment with right now.
