Hello,
I’m having a touchscreen problem with the FlyByWire A32NX EFB when using PopOut Manager with an Android tablet through spacedesk.
My setup is:
- MSFS2020
- FlyByWire A32NX
- PopOut Manager
- spacedesk Android Viewer v2.1.38
- Android tablet, 1280×800
- Windows 10
- The tablet is currently Display 5 in PopOut Manager.
The EFB touchscreen worked correctly for several months, but stopped working around June. This is not related to the current spacedesk Viewer version, because v2.1.38 was installed in January and the touchscreen continued working after that.
The current situation is very specific:
- The EFB pops out correctly onto the tablet.
- A physical mouse click on the EFB works normally.
- Touching the tablet works normally in Windows; for example, I can open the Start menu with my finger.
- Windows Tablet PC Settings was initially sending touch to another physical touchscreen (Display 3). I corrected the touch assignment and successfully calibrated Display 5.
- Touching an EFB button with my finger now reaches the EFB and highlights the button, but the button does not actually activate its function.
- Holding the button also only keeps it highlighted.
- Changing spacedesk from Absolute Touch to Relative Touch made the EFB stop highlighting correctly, so I reverted to Touchscreen (Absolute touch).
- PopOut Manager's “Enable entire monitor display to have game refocus function when touch” option was tested ON and made no difference, so it is currently OFF.
- “Add a virtual keyboard” is OFF.
- I also tested assigning the EFB to another spacedesk display number, but this made no difference.
It therefore appears that the tablet touch is reaching the popped-out EFB, but the final touch/click event needed to activate the EFB control is not being passed through correctly.
Could you please advise whether there is a PopOut Manager setting, Windows setting, or known compatibility issue that could cause a touchscreen press to highlight an A32NX EFB control without actually activating it?
The same setup previously worked correctly, so I am trying to identify what could have changed.
Thank you.
