Hud on secondary monitor

Unread postby McClusky » Fri Jul 26, 2013 1:40 pm

Hello - Is there any way to get the hud on a secondary monitor? I have a touch screen and it would be cool to put the hud on that and use it as a “controller”.

No.
The HUD can't be moved around, and TS2013 operates in a single window. It is not multi-monitor-aware.

It would be possible to develop an external application interfacing with the game, this is what was done for the Raildriver controller, also search the UKTrainSim forum about the custom application one of the members has developed. This application would have to accept input from your touch screen.

Thanks, I'll check that out. I was thinking about using TouchBuddy to create a profile to use my touch screen in conjunction with a Saitek Throttle Quadrant.

That sounds like a plan.
The Saitek is on my wish-list as well.
