This version has been designed to work with the C414AW variant that runs the Working Title GNS 530.
The layout has been tested on an iPad Pro 11 (2360x1640 resolution) but I haven't been able to test on other devices. I recommend setting Rendering mode to Safe Area in the Touch Portal app settings. There is an optional download called (Optional) background images for different devices containing other size background images - I'll add to this as and when I get requests for different resolutions.
✅ If the layout is OK on your device: I'd be grateful if you could leave a comment below to confirm that.
❌ If the layout is misaligned on your device: please DM me with details such as device name and a full-resolution screenshot of the problem, and I’ll try to resize the background image for your device - I can include device-specific backgrounds in future updates, although you'll have to manually swap out the page background in Touch Portal. This process is explained in the readme.txt file in the optional background image pack download.
Please note this is my first Touch Portal project - as such I'm still learning how things work. If you find bugs or problems then do let me know, and I'll try to get them fixed soon. I'm also keen to know if you have any feature requests for this project!
Is this can uesd by TDS750? Please~

Pretty cool utility! If there are any other Pixel 6 users, the "Option B" 1280x689 background option is pretty close to being properly aligned. (It doesn't look like it in the app, but on the phone the labels line up well enough to be readable.)

Thanks for the review! I can create a new background for your device, I'll just need:
A) A native resolution screenshot taken from your device, showing the page as it currently is.
B) The "Last Device Bg width/height" values from Touch Portal PC application. You can see this under Setting > Info
So if you DM me those two thing I should be able to make the background image at the correct size for your device.
BTW I've asked the Touch Portal devs for a new option to lock the background to the button grid; that would ensure that one background image works on all devices.

Thanks for checking this, and for the feedback. Those are all working for me. Do you have the WASM module in your msfs community add-one folder? Details on MSFS Touch Portal plugin GitHub page.
Also can you DM me a full-res screenshot from your tablet. I’ll see if I can make a resized background image to get it aligned.

The idea is very good, as the left side with the Electricals is masked. Same for the Air conditionned on the under Right side. And very good for the CutOff fuel that are between the seats.
But I have no Cessna.ini (or Cessna414.ini as said onthe tablet screen), unlike other plane like TBM or A32NX or FenixA320. So, 90 % of the buttons are unavailable ...
Not usable yet, but please continue to improve

OK I assumed the export from Touch Portal would package up everything and then put it in the correct place when importing the page - clearly that's not working. Will investigate and get it fixed today.
