hawgmech Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Hi all, I am very interested in trying out a touchscreen display to make A10C more realistic interactively. I'm new to touchscreen monitors. Any advice on what the best size and possibly what brand would be the best? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid18120 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 If what you mean is to use a secondary touchscreen for a cockpit export using tools such as Helios, then a 21'' 1080p is going to work perfectly. I use a 'Hanns.G HT225HPB' 21.5'' touch screen display via Display Port. I then just exported my A10C cockpit using Helios and the job's done [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Simming since 2005 My Rig: Gigabyte X470 Aorus Ultra Gaming, AMD Ryzen7 2700X, G.Skill RipJaws 32GB DDR4-3200, EVGA RTX 2070 Super Black Gaming, Corsair HX850 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only use VR, and I've been toying with the idea of getting the MPD add-on screens with the OSB buttons so I can reach out and press actual buttons for more realism. Any thoughts as to which are the best for this use? Does TM make these screens? Or are there other brands that are better?

As a VR user you don't want screens, but I think you meant the Thrustmaster MFD Cougar Pack. An even better solution would be PointCTRL: https://pointctrl.com/.

It worked quite well in DCS.

intx Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Additional question about adding the touchscreen as second monitor. I have a GTX 970 FTW. Is the card beefy enough to support both screens and keep decent (I know, subjective) frame rate? I don't use high graphic settings now and wonder if I need to upgrade card before working about adding a second screen... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustang25 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 The impact should be minimal on performance. I use the Planar 22" screen and it is perfect when I fly the JF-17 and output their 3 large MFCDs. If you're flying the A10 you'll have ample room for the 2 MFDs and any/all instruments you want. You could definitely go even smaller if you just want it for the MFDs. Additional question about adding the touchscreen as second monitor. I have a GTX 970 FTW.
