Great stuff!

Great work Russ. Thank you for all you do for the flight simulation community I just started using air manager with your cirrus panel. I can’t seem to get the mfd to work properly. Can’t control the map range, FPL page Thanks

Great info and tutorial Russ. Ideal for my mouse free Douglas DC 3.

DC-3 is a great old airplane. When I was in engineering school at the Ohio State University by structures professor in the aeronautical engineering department had been an engineer designing the DC-3. He had lots of fascinating stories about the group that designed and built that airplane.

Looks very good. Do you plan to support the Challenger 300? This was an excellent feature in AM2.

great..thanks !!

Thanks Russ. Can you do a video on how to place the x-Plane G1000 displays into a iPad panel running Air Manager 3.5? A panel is available for the CirrusVision SF50 but I do not know how to fill the empty frames. Is there a link detailing how this can be done? I too like flying the Cirrus. This video presents some insight -- but maybe it cannot be done. THANK YOU !!!!

Russ - I am especially interested in the S-Tec autopilot and the Germon transponder on the C172SP panel you show in the video. Does the S-TEC autopilot have the altitude pre-select function? Also, does the Germon transponder have touchscreen capabilities for all the input buttons?

Cool tips

Can instruments overlay portions of other instruments? I'd like to use the Boeing 737 landing gear indicator lights from the gear handle you developed with the Zibo ND covering the gear handle itself, and use a physical gear handle. In addition to the lights, can they be expected to illuminate in this case? Love your videos, very close to adding Air Manager across my 737 simulator !

Always informative and top notch. Appreciate you sharing your knowledge. You mention the Cessna 172 G1000 panel being in Air Manager. I am only seeing the Cirrus Vision panel. Have they removed it? Thanks again.

Don’t think so. It is a sub panel of the C172SP pay panel. During installation it offers quite a few variations including the dual G1000s

Congratulations on the video. Very clear explanations! Regarding the Xplane B737 Zibo, is there an ND panel in Air Manager? Thank you

I used the instructions in Russ' video about xTextureExtractor to get the ND and PFD displayed. It works very well.

I have a problem with the rotate function, i used to rotate a gauge with respect a point coordinate, but after the 3.5 update it is going wrong. i don't know what modifications did you do about this function...

Thanks for the GTN info from the previous comment. Another question...I have a couple of complex GA planes (Mooney and Arrow) and wouldn't mind incorporating the correct Airspeed steam instrument, so I can find out when I'm reaching Vno or heaven forbid Vne. Right now I just put in the Baron 58 since it's not terribly far apart relative to say the 172. How do people create AS indicators?

Julius seem my video kzread.info/dash/bejne/f5WA2sWuoc7Znco.html The instrument generic adjustable airspeed is available in the free community store. If you want even more realism you can create the artwork and make it look exact but that takes a bit more work.

Not possible. You need to be able to drag the popped out G1000 Displays fron X-Plane 11 to the monitor with the bezel. Obviously that monitor must be connected to the PC running XP11. I think that panel was included by accident and will be removed and no the next Air Manager iPad release. There is a iPad app for both the G1000 PFD and MFD available from Simionic available on the Apple App Store

If you buy Air Manager App for IPAD, can you also use that same activation code for Windows? If you want to show your Air Manager panels on an IPAD which app/instance do you need to purchase?

Hi Russ, thanks for these videos, much helpful. I have a question, I watched your other video on the 15.6" touch panel using PFD and MFD. I was thinking would a 21" be too big to consider for the both panels to squeeze? Have you tried similar larger monitors? Many Thanks

The ultra wide monitors would be perfect for a sim but there are no touchscreens I know of. But I guess if you put a bezel in front of it along with hardware knobs and buttons it would work just great with just a single monitor for the panel

Moshe Aron Epstein I believe so since all you need is the ability to show the GPS in a separate movable and resizable window that can be positioned on the desktop to work alongside the Air Manager Panel. I think the F1 GTN can run on a separate computer networked with the sim which Air Manager does as well. Is that true?

Great work Russ. Your videos are very informative. I note that the SF50 panel has a grey background even though "Transparent" is selected at the bottom of the screen. Do you know how to achieve that? I'm putting together a panel for a C177 that I fly, and if I choose transparent then I can see the desktop through the gaps in the instruments, or if I choose a solid color, then I can't see through the GNS530 overlay. Also, love that C172 G1000 panel you built, is that available anywhere for purchase or download? Cheers!

Russ, When you are showing your overlay for the GNS', how is your system configured? I believe I remember you saying you had at least 2 machines networked??? Is AM on the master or a slave? I can't get the GPS' to respond to touch. AM has to be on a machine with X-Plane on it to get the GNS' on screen? I'm having all kinds of issues running master and slave systems. Nothing is working consistently.

M Cotherman I have found since air manager 3.0 that I have no problem running my three visuals and my touch screen on a single computer. It is essential that the GPS screen be connected to the same computer as the master copy of XP11 if networked Setup is used. Obviously to get the overlay screen from air manager and the GPS screen on the same monitor they have to be on the same computer.

I popped the GNS' out of the 3D panel and then changed the View to "2D panel only." Well the plane doesn't have a 2D panel so the screen went black EXCEPT for the instruments I had undocked. I moved them to where I needed them and great performance. The only thing X-Plane rendered was undocked instruments.

Hi Russ, loving your videos. If I wanted to use the RealityXP GTN 750 with the C182T panel from SimInnovations, how would I do that? I notice that the C182T panel does not have a layout that has the cutout for the GTN750+650 combo. Any advice for me?

Charath Ranganathan just create a layout with an open space with the Right aspect ratio in the comm/nav Stack to put the 750. set the panel background to transparent. Turn click through on. Then position the 750 in the opening. If you are using a background image for the panel it is slightly harder. You need to edit the panel background to have a Transparent opening where the 750 sits do it can show through. The select background Image for the panel and set the background Color toehize with opacity 0 do there is a clear background behind the background image. The end result is the AM panel with a clear cutout and transparent background color and the 750 behind it all but seen and clickable (on touch if a touch monitor)

I have an important question that might be increasing the use of air manager. I have been asking people with xplane10 but can apply to any simulator. In order to see 180, we use three monitors for panoramic views or 3D cockpit also but if the 3D cockpit can be remove(instruments only), then we can use head tracking with if we keep the 3D capabilities. I was told that is not possible but I found one plane that is not finish in xplane10 under experimental planes with name VAN'S AIRCRAFT. When I started, I only see the panoramic view (no instruments or cockpit) but my head tracking was working and I can control head movements in order to have realistic view of the outside. This is fantastic to combine with air manager because you can have only one monitor for the view using head tracking and the second one for air manager instruments. Using four monitors requires a lot of PC. Any idea how we can remove the cockpit with our loosing the 3d capability. Thank you

Everything seems to work on my touch screen monitor which I use for my instruments except for the GPS flight plan switches and push buttons. I'm using the Knobster and the flight plan responds to the 530 and 430 buttons and on my 3 screen monitors but not on my touchscreen monitor.

An iPad can be used as an external monitor also ( Duet Display via lightning cable)and it would work with the Knobster. If you run the iPad version of air manager it will not support the Knobster since you cannot display the windows from X plane because they are on a different computer.

CAVU Companies as long as the new aircraft has a G530 the popped out window will open in the same position and size. If it is not in the newly opened aircraft it will not open but the previous size and location will be retained and it will be opened on that other aircraft. The bottom line is that once a window(530,:430,G1000 PFD or MFD) is popped out and left open until closing the airplane, the size and location and popped out location will be applied to any airplane that has that item in its cockpit. It would be better if these parameters saved uniquely for each airplane but alas LR hasn’t done it that way.
