Touchscreen Monitor for increased immersion.

Wouldn't using this in DCS be that much more awesome.

You might want to consider just having your touchscreen monitor act directly as your cockpit without using Helios. That way you're not looking at two instrument panels.

 

If you place your touchscreen below your main monitor, you could create a render area of say 1920x2160, and then in your main default cockpit view you'd have the HUD and canopy frame on the upper monitor and the instrument panel on the bottom monitor.

 

Check out

showing this working with a 4-screen T-shaped setup. It's SO much more intuitive and flexible than something like Helios.

 

EDIT:

 

I'm using a very similar set-up like outlined here:

and I'm very happy with it. I can use it in every DCS cockpit without the need to switch Helios profiles. - and as GregP mentions : Overall cockpit orientation and fell is very intuitive and natural.

 

I have setup my touch-screen to recognise every static press that is longer as 0.4 sec as right-click.,

so I can distinguish between righ/leftclick without problem (as DCS can't recognise gestures like moving a switch up/down)
