tomjon24 6 Posted March 31, 2019 Report Share Posted March 31, 2019 I am in the process of building a Flight Sim cockpit and I want to install four touch screen monitors in the panel . I will be using Air Manager to build the gauges for the touch screen monitors. While trying to decide which monitors to use, I notice that you can buy them with two touch, 5 touch and up to 10 touch screens. Is this a case that more is better?

mutley 4,487 Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 Hi Tom, I guess the number of screens will be either dictated by Air Manager or by your budget Link to post Share on other sites
tomjon24 6 Posted April 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 One more question. Has anyone use any small display screens to display just the engines or the ribbon display for airliners? Also I have seen on the internet small display screens that use USB inputs. Tom Johnson Link to post Share on other sites

Tom Johnson Hi Tom, I have used multi screens for a while now but a couple of smaller screens I use are for a GPS panel that I built and the second is a small 10" screen which I use for my main six pack instruments. I have a two PC network and I run P3Dv4.4 on the main pc and the 10" screen along with my standard 19" screen on the client pc. The GPS panel uses a 5" screen with an array of buttons and rotary encoders via a Leo Bodnar USB switch card, whilst the 10" panel is simply connected to the GPs on the client pc. If you take a look through the Hardware/Cockpit Building thread you might find some more info regarding how I built my GPS panel. Hope this helps you. Regards Brian Link to post Share on other sites
