- go to the iL-2 directory
- open conf.ini
- look for the [rts] section
- change "mouseUse=2" to "mouseUse=1"
- save file
So if I do this, then I will no longer have use of my mouse on the ingame monitor? I do not have trackir so I use the hat switch and mouse for view in game. I would really like to try this since I have another flat panel monitor just sitting here. How do I get around this Wild Bill?
It's the same mouse. This just lets it leave the main monitor and also move over to the other monitor. I do have TrackIR so, I don't know what it's like to do it your way. You can download the software and hookup your second monitor (you'll need a second video output: on your current card, or a second card). Then give it a test.

Personally, I would buy TrackIR before a touchscreen though... I don't know of any users who use TB, but don't have a TrackIR, so I can't ask anybody. But when you 'touch' the touchsreen, the mouse doesn't 'move', it 'jumps' the mouse to where you touched. So it may not move your view. However, when you move the cursor back to the screen, I suppose it would move your view.
