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.

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.

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.

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.

Main screens are 22". The pedestal and left side screen are 15.6"

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.

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

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!

Microsoft Flight Simulator.

@@ottopilot6536 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

@@ottopilot6536 Thank you for your response and tips. Have a great day and fun simming.

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.

@@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.

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.

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.

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

Unfortunately not.

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.

Look at this link. It's the official info directly from Sim Innovations. siminnovations.com/wiki/index.php?title=Knobster_DIY
