Current state of play regarding export of DCS to touchscreens

[markturner1960]

Hi, several months back, I invested in a pretty expensive Iyama touchscreen, intending to run Helios to export the gauges and screens in DCS...

 

Firstly, I hit issues getting it to work and was unable to get any help that solved the problem via captain zeen etc.....

 

I have moved the screen to a new PC now, but now it wont work as a touch screen for some reason I am unable to figure out, some windows issue / setting I imagine....I also have a pair of small touchscreens that I brought recently but never set up for use with my cougar MFD's...

 

Given the above, do you think its worth me persevering to try and get it working? Is Helios reliable and a good choice? What other options are there?

 

How much trouble am I letting myself into going down this rabbit hole?

Had a look at the iiyama site and they don't seem to offer much help on this issue.

 

Found this with a Google search. It's for HP products but should be same troubleshooting process. Worth a look maybe. Hope it helps.

Edit: I'd say yes, it is worth persevering with Helios as it does work very well with a touch screen. Certain aspects can be a bit finicky and frustrating but on the whole it works very well and adds a lot of immersion to the sim.
