Virtual Display

You can create a virtual display to use it inside the SimBox Client.

This is useful if you want to have PFD, ND, or other displays or programs on a separate monitor, inside the SimBox Client.

Additional "Virtual Display" has touch support, so you can use it to interact with content on the display.
