I've had both the "IL2 Control Panel" which uses a second computer and networking to handle many different controls AND "Touch Buddy" NO NOT THAT! LOL! but a program where you can have a second monitor function as your aircraft's instrument and control panels. "Touch Buddy" was designed for a touch screen but will work with out it. I allows you to continue flying without having to take your eyes off the monitor to find a control key. Both have their limitations and were, IMHO, to clumsy for the kind of half hearted off-line flying which I do. But for the die-hard realism guys both are great. Takes time to set up and learn but they DO work. Perhaps this will be more for the causal flyer like me.

edit: THANKS!!!!!!!!!!
