How do You get a touch screen working in DCS?

[joebloggs]

Hello

Iv'e just set DcsWorld up and I'm a bit stuck on something. I have two monitors for my Pc. One monitor is one you just use a mouse on and the other is a touch screen monitor. I have download some software called UltraMFCD and want to be able to use the touch screen for my CDU and MFCD's.

 

I set this up with my touch screen in extended mode and then dragged the CDU, MFCD...etc to the touch screen. The problem I have now though is that when I tap my finger on the CDU buttons, it acts like I am pressing my mouse on the normal monitor and not the touch screen.

 

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong here because Iv'e never used a touch screen. Thanks!

You have to tell Windows where the touch screen is. Windows assumes that it is supposed to control the main screen by default. There is an applet in the Control Panel for this but I don't recall the name.

Does anyone's know how to get this working in DCs step by step? Some people say you can use touch screen in extended mode and others say you can't from what I have read. So far I haven't been able to get it working in extended mode, but I don't want to give up just yet. I have seen people using touch CDU's, so they must be doing something I'm not. Thanks!

For Win 7, this link should help.

Btw, yes, extended mode works just fine.
