Anyone using the SimTouch product yet?

I came across this a few days ago but would like to know how well it really works. It is software and a touch screen to select a variety of screens from radio's to GPS to gear and autopilots. The video (search SimTouch) shows most of the functions. You are supposed to be able to use the Iphone, Garmin or any 5" to 12" touch screen. And at about $200 or so, it seems too good to be true. I don't necessarily want to build a full replica cockpit, but I sure would like to "Select" and "Turn" many features without breaking the bank.

Or you can get normal touch screen.
or few even.
I don't think they would be good for knobs for example,but for swiches it would be perfect.
search on you tube,there's a guy there with 7 inch touch screen,he drags his FMC on it.
Looks great

Thanks for the Reply. I'll check the You Tube site. Besides the marketing hype, I am curious of a "real world" user and experience.

I'm finalizing my plans for my cockpit and have become interested in this app. Like you I have been unable to find an 'reviews' but have taken the leap and purchased a couple of touchscreen monitors. What I'd like to know is whether simtouch allows you to undock a specific screens (ie AP or radio etc) and move them to touchscreens or can you only use one screen at a time? Anyone have comments?

If you'd like to exchange info PM me.

Disappointed with the product. Difficult setup (I already run 3 screens) and slowed FPS by about 5. Yes, it does work but navagiting between screens while flying final is somewhat distracting. Also, out of 16,000 claimed users, I am only the 2nd person to report a partial screen showing on the gauges screen. I have switched back to my normal Saitek radio, switch and autopilot panels and trying to find another use for this expensive touch screen. (The folks at Sim Touch were helpful but still couldn't correct the issue.):-(

Happy Flying!

Thanks for the feedback. Not sure what to do in this case. I understand that you can open the app three or four times and place different menu options on various touchscreens. Is this what you did? I am concerned about FPS.
