I have windows 10 and i run X Plane 11 there, and as i said above, YOUR IN LUCK.

I initially thought touchscreen was not compatible, but it suprizingly works VERY well!

And yes, You could if you touch carefully, You cant tap the Screen of the Nav Unit otherwise itll come up as usual.

All the best!

Answer 2

Hi Pedro,

I am not with Laminar Research or have any connection with the producers of the referenced videos; just a flight simmer from down under.

Yes a touch screen will operate in a X-Plane and windows environment

Have a look at the following YouTube video produced by Michael Brown from XForcePC.  The video link is found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GMjBVeBMo4  Laminar Research recommends this company as the preferred PC supplier for X-Plane.

Now during the video Michael mentions difficulty touching or using the knobs and buttons.  To overcome that problem have a look at various YouTube videos from Russ Barlow regarding the "knobster".  The videos can be found at https://www.youtube.com/user/srbarlow/videos

Hope this helps.
