• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Flight Simulator & Touchscreen

I saw my first touch screen monitor yesterday down at the Navy base. FS was the first thing I thought of!
 
Nice idea but doesn't the screen get all covered in greasy fingermarks. Especially after eating poutine?
 
The quality dept. had touch screens at my old auto factory. They do get dirty, and sometimes have 'registration' problems. But they worked pretty well... and in an industrial setting.

On my iPad (which is PURE touch screen controls), I cannot see the fingerprints unless the screen is off. If the program running on it had alot of pure black in the background, then I would be able to see fingerprints. Thats on my unit. High gloss glass.
 
There are usb powered LCD touchscreen conversion kits available in a range of sizes for small money. I've never tried them though so don't know how accurate they'd be vs a mouse and keyboard. I've often toyed with the idea of getting one for use in a touchscreen controlled home entertainment jukebox system,though.
