[citation][nom]Lord Captivus[/nom]Someone need to patent the use of a touchscreen for the switches in these kind of games, and you can use it when playing on desktop, that would be nice...probably someone already has...or i just lose a few millions...You could play with 3 monitors and a "tablet" for all the switches and buttons..and whatever...[/citation]
Why should that be 'patentable' ? Don't make suggestions like that please.
BTW, I do not know about other games but for serious flight Sims that would not be a good idea (except for the displays in a Glass cockpit). You want tactile buttons. In real life we are expected to find any control and switch in the dark by feel alone (in case of power failure in the cockpit). Not possible with a touch pad of course.
