which touch monitors do you use ? are those ipads ?
At the time this was shot 3 years ago, I was using Wimaxit 15.6" monitors. I still have them, but now my main touchscreens are a pair of 23" Planar Helium. I not use one of the Wimaxit as a centre console, and the other on the side for Navigraph Charts.
This is amazing.
Yvette Cooper looks like she could unhinge her jaw to accommodate large black items.
Holy shit putting that xbox controller there is an incredible idea
It's attached with adhesive Velcro tape so it's easily removable for when I need it for another game. Naturally, the soft side of the Velcro is on the controller, and hooks are on the yoke. It's been quite handy to have so accessible on the yoke like that.
How were you able to get a comm panel for the G1000?
Refresh rate on your PFD seems terrible.
Any chance I could get you to walk me through a decent sim set up.. ? I’m doing my private pilot and I’m a super techie so I wanted to do it right .. right out of the gate and your setups look sick
Whoah does it have every single building from kingston too?
If you mean the city, yes, it does. However.... Kingston is an AI-autogen city, meaning they don't have proper photogrammetry data. All streets are there. Every single building in Kingston (and the world) is there. The footprint of the building is accurate, the height is accurate (from open source map data) although the building itself will just be a generic asset modified by AI to fit its footprint and fit the area. So residential areas will have houses, commercial / industrial will have correct type of building. That said, other cities that do have proper photogrammetry data like Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, and other large major cities, will have all the correct buildings at correct heights. I now use a 3rd party model for the airport that is a detailed recreation of CYGK including the interiors of the terminals, correct signage, etc.
😊wonderfull video thx a lot
Hi, I thoroughly enjoy your videos - very informative and presented on a relaxed manner - thanks very much. I saw that you had traffic on your mfd - I’m new to MS2020 and wondered what you have to do to get traffic visible on the mfd? Can you help, please?
You can go into the G1000 settings for the MFD and turn on / off all kinds of layers. Dig through the menus and you'll find it.
What size touchsreens are you using?
Main screens are 22". The pedestal and left side screen are 15.6"
Great guide, concise with explanations
Prop control leave in fine pitch. No flaps on takeoff, Right hand on throttle Gear switch on right side. Climb power, throttle back & Prop to about 2500. Same as shifting gears! Your panal is 100% over the top Well Done
I have the recommended setup of 2 Wimaxit touchscreen monitors for the Air Manager displays, but can only get one to work because I have only 1 HDMI connection available on the video card and 1 USB-C connection on the motherboard. Note that I have 2 available DPs. Therefore for the monitor that doesn't work yet, I bought an HDMI-to-Display Port adaptor. Providing that gives me video for the monitor, how do I get the touchscreen function to work when I only have one USB-C and it is already being used for the other Wimaxit? Is the HDMI Dual Monitor Adapter (model USBC-6950U) a better way of connecting, and if so, will it also enable the touchscreen ability? Thanks,
You can use a USB C to A cable like you would a normal phone charger. That works just fine. That's what I use with both my Wimaxit monitors.
Hey! KORL is my home airport haha. Question - I'm having issues with the Vision Jet's GTC 580 pop out panels and a Wimaxit monitor. I can't interact with them by touch, only via mouse (the pop out windows). I have touchscreen input and click-through selected in Air Manager. For example, I touch the numbers on the comms page, but it only highlights the numbers, instead of actually pressing them. This happens with the home PFD/MFD buttons too, it only highlights them and doesn't press them. Any thoughts?
The sim doesn't support touch input natively. Look into Popout Panel Manager, a 3rd party add on. It will automatically pop out and place your windows for you, and gives you the option to have touch support as well so you can use the GTCs as intended - with touch.
@@ottopilot6536 That did it! Thank you so much!
Glad to hear you got it all working, @@joellouisfire
Logitech MxErgo Trackball in VR is awesome.
im curious about the tbm throttle handle and how you mapped that.
good to see im not the only one that puts those boxes to good use.
I want toi build an actual pedestal for that screen and potentially lower the Bravo quadrant on it as well. However, I'm waiting till I get my cockpit in its more final form before I do that. So for now, the Honeycomb boxes are the perfect size to serve as a makeshift stand for that monitor!
This KNOBSTER is truly absurd, especially in terms of price and versatility. There is better on the market at a lower cost. ua-cam.com/video/7hi1a9jQ7P8/v-deo.html
How and where does one purchse this
What flight sim are you using
Microsoft Flight Simulator.
@@ottopilot6536 thanks
Nice video. Are the panels working with the upgraded Longitude released by Microsoft earlier this year? This developer video (see pinned comment) suggests the panels may not be compatible with the upgraded Longitude: ua-cam.com/video/bahASyTwXRA/v-deo.html. Thanks.
@@davidhutchison2202 I've not flown the Longitude extensively, but have taken it out on several flights with Tony's panels. There were no issues that I found with the Longitude. Everything works as expected. About Tony's comment on the potential compatibility. His original Longitude video where he introduced the panels pre-dated the release of AAU I which completely overhauled the Longitude. AAU I was in beta at the time he launched that video. Tony has slow internet, so he doesn't join the betas. So he had to wait until it was available to the public. His assessment was correct. His original instruments at that time would have had issues with AAU I. However, he updated everything to make it compatible before his public release.
You seem to have more monitors than a four port GPU can support. How do you get by more than four monitors of a typical GPU?
Otto, please tell how the touchscreens are connected to your computer. Please be detailed. I’m struggling.
Hi Otto Pilot. I'm trying to put the a320 overhead panel on a touch screen monitor and put it above my head like the real thing. I have 2 questions. 1) what size of monitor so I need to fit in it? 2) How do I do it, maybe you have a link to send me? I appreciate your help.
I'd say for an airliner overhead, the largest touch screen you can readily get would be the best. A 24" would likely do it. Not sure what bigger models may be available or not. As for how to mount it, I'm really unsure.
@Otto Pilot Otto Pilot Thanks Otto Pilot. A 24" I think it would be good. For the mount I'll use a wall mount bracket. So I need Air Manager subscription to do it? Thanks in advance Otto Pilot.
@@ronloveflying The demo version of AM only allows you to use the demo 6-pack instrument panel. So yes, you need a paid license in order to use any other instruments and panel layouts.
That’s quite the setup! For the money some people spend on sim gear they could just fly for real.
Hello, you have been very good !! Congratulations. What monitors have you used? I'm looking for some touch screens and I haven't quite decided. Thank you
My 2 main touch screens for my main Air Manager panels are Planar Helium 22", and the pedestal and side screens are 15.6" Wimaxit. These 2 smaller screens used to be my primary Air Manager panel screens before I upgraded last winter.
Is this available???
Yes. This is a payware panel and instrument set from experimentalsimavionics.com/ for 20 USD. Totally worth it IMHO. To be clear, this isn't one of my instrument sets. All Simstrumentation stuff is free, and we have no sights on making this plane. We do have the GTC 570 and G5000, but we're not doing the rest of this plane.
Pretty cool!!! Are you using touchscreen? Is it fix in the latest sim update? Or do you use a mod (for the touchscreen function)
Unfortunately, there's still no touch in the sim. And according to one of the devs that replied to me on the devsupport forum, this won't be happening any time soon - if ever. I use Popout Panel Manager (available on flightsim.to) to manage popouts. It gives you the the option of enabling touch support on popouts with a touch to mouse emulation layer. It adds a touch of input latency to touch input on the GTCs, but it does work incredibly well.
@@MrJon79 This is the dev's reply: "we would need to add proper support in our input system in general, which represents a bit of work. This is in our backlog but I don't expect it to be available any time in the near future." Not saying it won't happen. But it's WAY at the bottom of their list of priorities atm. And it seems that the latest and greatest add-ons, DLC, etc always seem to take priority. So it may be a long time coming. If ever.
Hey my friend, long time no hear. I'm hoping all is wonderful with you and your family. Shoot me a text or a call, would love to catch up. Great video as usual, by the way!!! Stay healthy, safe and blessed. David Elliott
Dude! I was wondering what happened to you. You just vanished from Facebook and that was our means of contact. We never did get to do that other flight together. I'd been looking forward to that! Otherwise, all is good here. Would be great to catch up with you again.
@@ottopilot6536 Man o man, we got some catching up to do.
Can your cj4 layout be saved as a single panel that others can import and use?
It's too difficult to make layouts that will work for everyone. I run (currently) a pair of 22" touch screens plus a pair of 15.6". Unless people are using that same setup, my layouts are useless. People use everything from tablets, 13" screens, 15", and less commonly, larger screens. To try to make layouts that will work for everyone is an exercise in futility.
Your videos and advances in the sim arena are Super. I’m using your CJ4/930 instruments from GitHub. Nice. One question for you, I fly a PMDG B737-700 frequently, also have 2 15.6’s with knobster, but can’t control the MCP on the Boeing. The link between Air Manager and knobster has been mastered for the X-Plane but not Msfs 2020. You have any ideas or thoughts about that? Thank you, keep dirty side down, shiny side up. Chan
Perfeito 👏
Nice setup and video. But something made me smile / laugh. That is....why are you using your mouse after giving great review of not doing so? (Bad habits are hard to break, right?) Also, can you link the items for the DIY knobster and the others you mentioned? Again, great video. Thank you for sharing.
@@ottopilot6536 Thank you for your response and tips. Have a great day and fun simming.
Hello Otto! Have you ever thought about a "skinny" bezel option, perhaps just enough to fit name at top, soft keys etc? They are basically worthless anyways and take up sreen space. Keep up the good work.
We do have smaller bezels for the CJ4, and I THINK we did that for the CRJ as well. You're right though. I could easily make some more screen real estate with the Vision Jet with thinner bezels for the G3000. If I were on a small screen, I'd consider it. But I have plenty of space on these 22" screens that everything is large enough to be easily usable and readable.
Of Note: This aircraft has a sidestick so it works well with 3 wide/touchscreen below sims. This makes the touchscreen more visible and can move closer if necessary for larger text. As I always have said, if you want a bigger monitor, just sit closer. LOL My "already worn out Alpha yoke" is no longer in the way. Yeah How is your alpha yoke holding up? Mine is really sticky in pitch center area and never really had very good resolution in pitch anyways. The roll res is great tho.
Clever name. Set up a patreon account. I am sure people will reward you with 5-10$ for all your work. I personally like 1 touch. Looking at dell 24" with my 4090 upgrade this year. Thanks again.
I get ATIS but not the tower or ground comes. Do you have an add on? Great panel you made. Also thinking about putting Air Manager on 2d computer, big machine for scenery. Is that a good idea? Chan
@@clofland5214 On a sim like Xplane, you're able to run the software itself across multiple computers. You can run the main simulation on one machine, and run the displays off another. This goes a long way towards improving overall performance and frame rate. MSFS doesn't have the capability to do that unfortunately. As for running Air Manager, it's a pretty low resource application and itself won't affect your performance in any meaningful way. Moving it to another computer limits the versatility of your cockpit (no more popout windows from the sim in Air Manager) and gains you very little in terms of performance.
Which brand of screens are you using?
The 2 main touch screens my panels are on are Planar Helium 22".
I use ASUS 21.5 Touchscreen. Works fine. Around $200. The Planar is probably a better product but more expensive. You might even consider Dell 24". If you fly VJ then there is no yoke in the way and 24' might be better.
@@DownTheRabbit-Hole Indeed. Planar are a good choice not necessarily because they're better, but because they have the kickstand mount. They can sit flat on a table / desk without needing any special mounts, as well as having standard VESA mounting holes. Overall for touch panels for AM, it's really about fitting the biggest you can fit into your budgetary and size restrictions.
@Otto Pilot, you mentioned the G3000 project. Is that going to be distributed as an X-Plane add-on/plug-in, or an instrument for Air Manager?
Just Air Manager overlays. Simstrumentation do MSFS only. Although with all the heavy lifting done in terms of graphics and interaction, it would be easy for someone in the community to add the events and / or datarefs from XP to any of our stuff. And some folks have.
Works in Fenix A320?
GREAT instruments for a GREAT plane coming from a GREAT community headed by a GREAT groups of guys! Thanks for all you've done for the usability of this plane!
Hey Crunch. Looking good bud. Love the Vision Jet, but the HJet has my heart right now. Thank you for all you have done for AM and MSFS.
Different birds for different missions. But in the end, FlightFX planes are really outstanding. Once they can incorporate the new AAU I G3000 into the HJet, it will no longer need those hacks to get the EIS and PFD split screen. At that point, I think it will have hit its stride properly.
@@ottopilot6536 After that last update he put out this thing is a blast to fly. So much so that I've left my Baron in the hangar and not pulled it out in the last 80 hrs of flight time. I've got 113 hrs on the HJet right now. I've been flying pretty much all day everyday since then. With the work you did on the GTC's it's a lot more fun. I need to get back on the Vision Jet again though. This is a very happy old man now. Too many toys to play with. The only redeeming quality of being stuck in this infernal chair is I get to fly to my heart's content. LOL
on a german keyboard is no alt-key on the right side, the left one doesnt work.... how...?
Hi. Can you turn off 3D cockpit rendering entirely to save on resource, since you already them the instrument on external display?
Unfortunately not.
Where did you get that g1000 suite bezel? Is that something that is already in the software that you just pop out the windows and drag down. I thought I saw that the air manager was still the x plane g1000 bezel and yours says garmin.
now that we have touch control via panel pop out do you know if there are any air manager bezels that are the 370 style for planes like the pipestrel virus?
There aren't any that I know of. We haven't made any like this. I remember briefly trying the Virus when the sim first launched, so I'd really have to go in an take a look at what the cockpit looks like.
Love this video. Please continue!
