Here is a low res example of how you could make status/touchscreen buttons.



Of course someone with photoshop skills could make some nicer ones ;D

But even real high res photographed pictures could be used.
Take one pic for each status, and then cut the button out.

I think this is a great idea. I am planning for a Touch Screen and I'm still brainstorming about what exactly I want it to accomplish. Some of the things that I want it to do are X-Sim related, and others are not. It would be great if this plugin was extensible enough that I didn't have to develop a seperate application.

I'll spend some more time thinking on this and post a list of ideas for functions of a touch screen for sim racing games. For now though, your off to a great start with a good idea.

I've never heard of Touch Buddy before, but it looks great at a glance. I'll test it out in the next few days. Do you have experience with it?
