Hiya guys. I've been milling over this idea for awhile and I'm seriously thinking it will be a fantastic cheaper alternative. For radios and FMC for level D 767 I'm thinking of having a 17 inch lcd facing upwards on the pedestal. On the monitor display the FMC/CDU and radios/xpndr etc in the correct size. Apply the touch screen kit over the top of the monitor and then put the pedestal cover (MDF or whatever I use) over the top of that again. So then I would have the FMC and radios showing throught the precut holes in the pedestal and then pressing directly onto the screen the buttons on the FMC or either side of the radio knobs to change frequencies etc! The touchscreen is said to be quite responsive and accurate. (Providing you have your FMC or panel display big enough so that your finger doesn't press 2 buttons at once. Has any one seen this setup in action or heard of others using it, because if it works it will save me having to build my own FMC or buy expensive radios, for now anyway :)
For those who haven't seen them, here is a link to what I'm talking about.
