simstrumentation/air-manager

A collection of quality Air Manager instruments built by flight sim enthusiasts for our own personal home cockpits, but shared with the community at large.

SIMSTRUMENTATION

EXTERMINATE THE MICE FROM YOUR COCKPIT!

Flying Microsoft Flight Simulator Mouse-Free using touch screen instruments built on Air Manager

Join Discord for information and help https://discord.gg/6xkCXe5pMn

Our goal is to be able to offer flight simmers a quality collection of Air Manager (AM) instruments to enable a more realistic mouse and keyboard-free simulation experience. Through the use of touch screens and the optional Knobster from Sim Innovations, you can have a fully interactive cockpit without requiring the use of a mouse in flight. We build these instruments for our own use for our personal cockpits. But we've decided to share our work with the public free of charge so every AM user can benefit from our labour. Ultimately, we want to have our instruments included in the AM community store (free to users with a valid license, of course) so that they're readily available directly from within the application. This GitHub repo won't be the download source, but will remain the hub around which we develop new instruments, collaborate with other community members who wish to participate in development, and test released before submitting to the AM Store.

NOTE - While the download and use of our instruments is free, AM is paid software available at https://www.siminnovations.com/. We are not associated with Sim Innovations in any way and cannot provide users with AM nor can we provide any technical support for AM. No warranties for our work are provided or implied. Our instruments hosted in this repo are offered as-is and are used at the end user's own risk

Aircraft Instrument Categories

This is a list of the different aircraft in MSFS 2020 that we currently have working instruments for.

At the current time, we don't provide complete panel layouts, just individual instruments. Each person will have a different setup with a different number of monitors in different sizes. Preset panels that work for us won't necessarily work for you. You can use the instruments provided to build a layout that works for you.

Proble with the Cessna Citation CJ4 FMS MCDU Overlay

Hi:

I've been trying to test the Cessna Citation CJ4 FMS MCDU Overlay. All the buttons work properly but the CJ4_FMC_1_BTN_LX (X=1..6) and CJ4_FMC_1_BTN_RX (X=1..6) don't seem to work.

Hope you can help me with this

Thahks for your excelent work

Imported SI Panels not showing in Air Manager...

Downloaded files for SF50 and Honda Jet, including the 3000/5000 panel, imported via Air Manager one by one, says success and installed but do NOT show in Air Manager when I go to create a new panel. Have repeated with new install - still no imported panels or bezels showing in Air Manager.

Searched for an answer but no luck. Am I doing something wrong by just importing the .siff files? Thank You.

CJ4 Lights update

I'm not that well versed in the ways of Github forking and pull requests so I'll just post this here. I made a few edits to the lights panel that get the seatbelt, safety and pulse lights to work. They do use some MobiFlight events.

Black panel

Air manager works with default instruments, but, with all instruments downloaded from here i got black panel. What im doing wrong?

Rockwell Collins FMS Not Transparent

When I first start using this FMS in February there was a transparent cutout to view the pop-out. Now it appears to be black. Toggling transparent in Air Manager shows the area around the four corners where there is a cutout for the screws as transparent but not the screen part in the middle. I haven't changed anything in my setup and and having difficulty understanding why this is suddenly the case. Using version 2.2 and tried deleting and re-downloading the instrument.

WT CJ4 Baro Acceleration

Reminder to Add Acceleration to Baro knob sometime in the future at the request of @sunbeam60.

Daher Kodiak Fuel Valve not working

Want to start off by saying I am new to using Air Manager and have limited programming experience. Very excited to find you GitHub page and the instruments you are creating are awesome. I downed the Daher Kodiak fuel valve but I am unable to get it working. Currently I am running Air Manager 4.02 with plug-in 3.7. Just want to confirm all I need to do is input the .siff instrument file and then add to my panel. When I click on Fuel valve graphic is not updating or changing gauge in MSFS. I suspect I am having other issues as I also can not get your Garmin G1000 NXI working. Currently I’m using the generic G1000 Overlay for FS2020 with Air Manager 4.02 and the 3.7 plug-in with no issues. I also have a lot of hardware mappings setup to switches, etc and that is all working fine. With my limited knowledge I suspect I am doing something really simple wrong. Any help you have would appreciate it.

Garmin G3X nearest button

Hi
I am working on an overlay for the G3X for MSFS. I was able to activate most of the events, but not the Nearest.
I found on Ghub a similar project, with the same event I'd used.
I have not tried this script, but can someone tell me if there is a change in MSFS, which would invalidate this Id.
Thanks in advance

Using your project files for personal project?

Hello, I am not an Air Manager user. Is it okay if I download and use your assets, specifically the CJ4 ones in my personal app?

I am developing a web based cockpit for the CJ4 completely from scratch using node-simconnect + websockets + react and would like to use your panel assets for building the UI - this is perfectly in line with what I had in mind(just to control the AP alt and heading) and you guys seem to have done it and beyond!

My app at present is entirely for personal use and not distributed anywhere, since the repo did not have any license info I thought of asking here.

Thanks and I really appreciate the work done here!

Funktion G1000 NXi

Hi from Munich,
I tried today 16.09.21 your G1000 NXi. with the the Marketplace WT G1000Nxi. With Airmanager 4.01 and 4Beta. C208
Some important FLP functions I coudl not use. It my mistake, are they not supportet up to now?
Thanks for your engangement! Jörg Fuchs https://fsc-ev.de/fsc2020/

23.9.21 I am sorry. Due to other bugs, I reinstalled MSFS and simmconnect. Now all funktion NXi ,i tested working fine.

CJ4 Controls Panel - Reworked logic

Hi once again. I used my secret decoder ring to evaluate the RPN commands that Mobiflight uses to toggle the run/stop buttons and was able to replace (and improve) the logic to drive the buttons. That old HP 48 calculator I got a long time ago trained me in the RPN mindset. I still have an emulator on my phone that's my go-to calculator.

Have a look at the attached lua code. You should be able to use your existing v1.2 instrument (with resources) and just replace the contents of this file for the logic.lua.

Let me know what you think.

CJ4_Controls_v1.3_logic.txt

p.s. One of these days, I'll figure out a pull request. Just not yet.

G1000nxi panels not working?

I'm unable to get most of the buttons on the G1000nxi buttons to work in fs2020. the altitude bug works but nearly everything else does not, like the flight plan or direct to button. Is there something else needed to make it work?

Auto Pilot

Hi, I keep having a problem with the VNV button on the autopilot instrument which doesn’t want to engage until the plane has reached TOD. But maybe it’s normal?
Thanks for your great work.

PMS50 GTN 650 overlay

Having issues getting the PMS50 GTN650 overlay to actually show on my panel. The instrument shows properly in AM config (has preview). I can see the resource folder where the images are called, however when I show the panel, the instrument is blank.

I feel like this instrument was working for me before the latest update, however I am not 100% sure as I only recently started using the GTNs.
