Not sure what technique you settled on, but one of the reasons we made the interface web based is so that it could be accessed from any device on your network.
If you know the IP address of your computer, you can use your phone, tablet, or another computer and go to
http://192.168.x.x:8082 where 192.168.x.x is the IP address of your machine (hit up google if you want to find your machine's internal IP address, not your router's external facing address).
This allows you to drive the pilot client (connect/disconnect) using another device, freeing up your sim computer so you can stay full screen.
Otherwise, you can do the ALT-TAB thing if you want to run it all on one device.
