I've used it.  It wasn't too good as the touch-only limitation means you have to always take your eyes off the screen to use the fiddly little knobs and sliders.  I uninstalled it after a while.  Nice for FSX I imagine, but not too much practical value for us.

I think it would be the same for FSX... You have clickable, virtual cockpits on any aircraft actually worth flying. I guess this is an idea that is simply not fun

I like the idea. Unfortunately it's closed source, otherwise I would have tried to make a port of it for android, since as much as I understood the application is written in Visual Basic, which can easily be translated to C# which in turn is supported for android with the release of Visual Studio 2015.
Well, since this is no option, this particular application unfortunately is of no use to me.

Best regards - Mike

Yes I've used it and there are a couple of profiles written for IL2 (on the TB site). Never got along with it though - same reason as Bee plus my touchscreen didn't always respond to first touch, as if the focus was constantly being taken off that monitor.

Regards,
