MSFS Touch Panel is a proof-of-concept web application for MSFS 2020 which focuses on touch inputs to make your flying more enjoyable! It is designed for an iPad, Android tablet, or touch screen monitor with Arduino's input controls in mind to provide a simple DIY cockpit for all the casual sim fans out there. This application can also be used in any modern browser on PC or tablet with all features enabled.
The application contains two major features, a touch panel to control common flight instrumentations and a feature for web-based rendering of in-game pop out panel and provide bezel support for pop out panel.

So useful to avoid screen duplication which kills the framerate in DLSS mode.
Flight plan seem not to be seen in the map but for sure it is in improvement opportunities.

Sorry, but while this works, I much prefer the customization I get with TouchPortal.

Same here....trying to get the server to work!
It keeps telling me "to run this application you must install .net. Would you like to download it now?" Then it takes me to Download .NET 5.0 Runtime (microsoft.com) but on the page it states 'This release has reached end of life, meaning it is no longer supported" I did download that version 5 anyway but it still didn't work.
I have Microsoft Windows Desktop Runtime - 6.0.6 (x64) 6.0.6.31318 currently installed ....so what runtime version do I need exactly to get this working?
Thanks

I'm trying to get the server to work. It keeps asking me to have .NET installed, which I most certainly have. Any help and/or ideas would be gratefully accepted.

Really very very powerfull proof of concept. It's not working perfectly yet, but it's usable. I really hope it will get developed further to a stable version. For now 5 stars for the initiative and effort.

This project sounds extremely interesting to me.
I´m currently using a relatively "special" configuration for gaming.
I use a cloud service (= "located in one end of Europe"), which i connect to via it´s remote client from my home location (= "located in another end of Europe").
I´d like to ask, if i can use your tool, if my MSFS and your tool are running in completely different networks, basically 1.000 km apart from each other.
Could i use an Android-tablet and one or two webbrowser windows at the same time, to display different things like PFD on the tablet, MFD in one browser ... to use as many devices and/or monitors, i have available?
