Lost about 65 dollars in the whole ordeal.
Sorry to hear about that...I hate when people still profit off of a bad product.
BTW--the graphic style is taken directly from graphics from this website, and are Vice's design and my adaption.

Cool layout. You're like me, stick with the black background and white letters. Just fnished my lomac2 profile, wish it was like my VRS superbug and supported the MFPs in-game

I'd forgot where I had read about touchbuddy but it was from you. Thanks, it's going to be great once I get my monitor. Bought it from ebay about a week and a half ago but still waiting to test it because the courier didn't leave a card. When I do get it up and running i'll post here in case anyone else wants to know how it works/give it a try for themselves. I imagine it is going to work really well though. How's the setup you've got now? any photos?
Touchbuddy is neat, you can test it out on your primary monitor to see what it's capable of. My problem was my Mimo monitor's touch input (either driver or Hardware) and all the crazy conditions you had to do in orde to get it up and running. Hindsight I should have just ordered a small sub-14 inch vga touchscreen monitor, but I was trying to avoid all the extra cables. Since I got my MFPs, I've lost interest in touchbuddy, but I'm still looking at sub-monitors for my glass cockpit.
Yeah, I spent a few days making one (it's in my 'profile share' thread) and i've tested it using my netbook. I should be getting it tomorrow, it's an 8 inch vga monitor.
It works pretty well too, I already have all controls set on the x52p but it's good to have them all up on the touchscreen as well because you don't have to think about what button to press. I think it looks pretty neat too.
Plus there are quite a few other games I have it will be really useful for (the il2 profile on the tb forums is amazing).
Keyboard/mouse tray is in 'use' position..and does roll up under the dash to enter/exit cockpit. Also, you can see the backlighting on under the tinted plexiglass displays as I haven't reinstalled installed the graphic overlays. I do have the overhead display wired and the fans working, but the lighting is disabled until I complete the rework on the tinted panels. One day..(sigh) I will have this complete.
That looks awesome! I'm totally jealous of the x52 built into the arm chair rests, looks really comfy but I don't have space for that! It all looks pretty cool. I have just one question.....

is the big button middle the eject button?

Thanks! Actually it's my re-wired volume control for my speakers, I just do not have the "acoustic dampner" control graphics installed around it yet.
also..while not as cool as a real touch screen, you can buy a touch overlay for much cheaper. Basically, its a screen overlay that adds touch screen input, but you only need to calibrate it on a monitor..after that you could mount it on any flat surface.
Got my Lilliput monitor in today and I love it! Soo much better than that crappy Mimo. The touchscreen is responsive, easily installed. The Colors are sharp and blacks are black. It fits perfectly on my Yoke. My lil cubby pit is coming together, just need the rest of my Saitek Panels to start work.
Classy. But no labels?
:P:P:P
