If needed I will provide all the information I can to assist you. Now, that might be a proprietary implementation and therefore independent from the Windows one (at a guess). I somehow got a PMDG 737 800/900 working with FSX steam edition I do not know how but I got the PMDG 737 800/900 working with steam edition. My feelings are that PMDG doesn’t have anything to do with supporting touch-screens, it is a Windows implementation that works on any screen (provided software developers don’t screw up), it just emulates the mouse gestures.Ĭarenado Bonanza in P3D instead has a different approach all together to the touchscreen and much better too, but I think it has been worked on with LM support since they offer the vehicle at no extra cost. I spoke about the touch gestures to PMDG, who at firs blamed P3D (possibly correct), then they said they were going to pass the message to the tech department for a future update, and finally they claim that PMDG does not support touchscreen, it was never intended to do so and they do not care either. In fact I should also mention that the 737 P3D version behaves worst in frame-rate too ! ! 10 to 15 frames slower ! I have now tested the 737 P3D version with the same identical results. I cant advise on the touch screen as I don't have one. The gauge.dll files in the fsx version are not fully compatible in p3d. That would answer my question and I would confidently purchase the PMDG-p3d version with no worries. If so then my overhead panel would be fully functional as before. So If there is anyone out there using P3D with the genuine PMDG 800/900 (p3d version) could they be kind enough to confirm that all knobs and switches can be moved in any position with JUST the left click? They use the 'grabbing hand' mode to pull or push (and possibly also rotate ?). I have noticed though that all P3D aircrafts have a different approach to the cockpit moving parts

(I was surprised to see the Fsx version working in P3D anyway)

I use touchscreen overhead panel for more immersion and training realism and it works fine in FSX, but when I tested the new system in P3D with the old 737NG, the 'press & hold right click' was not responding so I am not able to invert switches like the retractable landing light or indeed any of the rotating knobs as they can only be moved to the left. My new P3D Sim is now up and running with a fresh hardware and saying bye to my old FSX and the beautiful PMDG 737 purchased some time ago.īut, before I proceed with the purchase of the newer P3D version of the 737NG I have to solve a potential problem.
