all the touchscreens I have seen use a VGA cable, so you should be able to use a DVI to VGA adapter and run TB on the second screen (via the DVI connection)

Heck yes! You are absolutely right! Just checked my graphiccard box and found the DVI - VGA adapter! Connection works fine. Sorry for bothering you!
Anyway thanks!

one thing to watch for is that most gfx cards use the DVI as their primary display if there is a monitor attached. No problem, use the DVI + adapter for your normal screen (the one you play games on), and use the VGA port for the touchscreen... or vice versa... i am sure you can work something out that would work

Damn damn cant stop reading about this, This thing is going to help me use more views and commands in addition to being more efficient. Yeah that lilliput looks nice but I have motorcycles and a female that needs love too . Oh the agony. next one cheaper i guess....... I know I could stop playing GRAW and dieliver pizzas insted of bullets in the evenings.

Wild Bill is doing a great job with it and he works with Zorlac to make sure his new version matches with the new versions Zorlac is releasing.

There are several profiles for LOMAC. Zorlac's profile looks to be geared towards the Su25T driver, and my profile (Rugg) is just Zorlac's with the buttons I made. The 199th profile I made is almost all inclusive for those that like to fly all the planes. There are also wingman and AWACS commands in the 199th profile. The neat thing is that with the ToolKit you can add or remove what you like easily. And TouchBuddy is so versatile that you can do just about anything you like with it. Zorlac is constantly improving it and adding new functions that people are requesting.

I'm thrilled to death that Zorlac created TouchBuddy. I was searching for different controllers to make my simming experience better and TouchBuddy exceeded my expectations.

Cheers......funny how id never even heard about this till a few days ago and now im considering whether to invest in this or rather some decent rudder pedals.

Right now i have a Cougar and i pretty much only fly the su27 so most functions i use are already mapped to the stick and throttle but i guess Touchbuddy makes it much more complete and adds to the immersion.

I imagine this would be even more useful once Black shark is released with more complex avionics.

Well I took the plunge and order me a Innovatek touch screen on Ebay, which shoud arrive in a few days. I figure If I order it now I will be on the other side of the learning curve and ready to implement my on profiles when BS is released.

A good investment Outlaw!

I've had TB for a while now. Recently I was playing Lomac and decided I to fire up F4:AF for a flight (for the first time in a while). Its really tough to remember different keystrokes for like functions between games. With TB though, your TB button for Chaff will fire chaff whether your in Lockon, F4:AF, or any other game with a profile. This same benefit will help reduce the brainsponge time required when learning a new game.

Touchscreens are a commodity and are getting cheaper and cheaper and TB is free.

Awesome!

I'd also like to say thanks to these guys for making this freeware - a real gem. If you look at the MS flightsim world, one of the reasons I don't play that anymore is because almost everything of any use is now payware. So it's a pleasure indeed to see something so genuinely functional and well executed released for nothing - kudo's to you guys, and the guys like you who've released such apps.

Dodger, so do you have a F4AF profile? Or are you saying that the keystroks for Lockon are mostly the same, and your using a Lockon profile?

I think he means that the same graphic/image can be used in both games for the same function, but in different profiles and with different macros/keypresses.
