Hands on touchscreen experience

#1 Post by Thair.nl »

I am planning on building a MIP for a C182 and/or PA-24 and the like (with different screen layouts ofcourse). Originally I planned to use three 1280x1024 monitors which I have in my "leftover parts storage room". These would be used together with some hardware switches / interface and mouse actions on the screen. After seeing some videos of Air Manager running on touch screens I started looking around for these possibilities (no more separate switches and especially no more mouse handling). I am now considering two 22" touch screens (Iiyama 1920x1080) but before I make that choise I would like to have a hands on experience with this kind of screen in conjuction with Air Manager (just to be sure I make the right choise).

I live in the neighbourhood of Rotterdam, The Netherlands. Is there somebody in the vicinity that uses Air Manager with touch screens and who is willing to let me try it out sometime? I like driving my car so it doesn't have to be "next door" (within acceptable distances ofcourse :D ).

Greetings,

Theo.

You can try it out in Groningen :D However, I travel to Moerkapelle sometimes (where I'm from originally, well... Zevenhuizen that is actually....anyways), I can take the screen with me. But the next time I'm there could take another 2 or 3 weeks. So it depends on how much time you have.

That would be great Ralph, I live on the same side of EHRD as Zevenhuizen / Moerkapelle (where of friend of mine also has a B738 cockpit and we regularly fly together at his or my place). I am still in the planning phase and building my own instruments so 2-3 weeks is no problem for me. I will sent you my address and phone number by PM you you can contact me beforehand to make an appointment and you can find my home.

Thanks again,

Theo.
