I can’t comment on 2 touch screens as I have only ever tested a single touch screen. In theory it should work as expected but you may of highlighted an issue.

Might I intrude and ask if Knobster is support by AM on main PC and AP on the second PC?

My main PC has XPlane, a main monitor and a touchscreen for GPS, etc. The 2nd PC has 2 touchscreens for main cockpit gauges and other instruments via AP. I use the MS Mouse without Borders tool for a single keyboard/mouse between both PC's

Knobster works for me on the main PC touchscreen with no issue. It does not work sliding the cursor over to the 2nd PC/AP . On AM, the Knobster field under devices is grayed out. Is there missing step or is this config not valid?

Thanks

The Knobster only works on the computer to which it is connected. In this case it would require a second Knobster.

I just wanted to provide closure to my issue with 2 touch screens (from my previous Feb 19 post) . . . I un-installed AM 3.4, then I re-installed it, and both touch screens worked correctly with my single knobster. Just for grins, I also installed the most current AM 3.5 beta and both touch screens worked correctly with my single knobster in the beta version as well. I don't have an answer for why AM 3.4 did not work correctly previously (before I un-installed it and re-installed it), but I didn't want Ralph, or Tony, or Corjan to spend any time trying to fix something that didn't need fixing!

Thanks Randy for the update. That is really good news. Shame we couldn’t understand what caused it but at least it is working nicely.

Regarding Knobster re; screens, I have 3 touch screens 15" (G10000) PFD.MFD,PFD, and it works perfectly as well as all the soft keys by touch.
I have videos on YouTube if anyone's interested. Ch. "brykalaero"
At present setting up and testing that it all works before I commit to building a full size sim for the Quest Kodiak.
There are 4 videos, first attempt at this so a bit rough but the basics are there.

Re: AM on main PC and AP on 2nd PC:

It appears that I cannot get knobster (connected to 2nd PC) to work via AirPLayer with (2) touch screen monitors. I can enable one panel or the other but not both. One screen is instruments and the other is avionics. Is this suported?

I am running the latest 3.5
