Ideas on Air Manager's UI rework

Hi guys, Corjan posted a pic on ideas of the new UI. I feel this is a very important topic and we all can help to make AM an even better product. A proposal for the new UI is here: https://siminnovations.com/forums/download/file.php?id=11149&mode=view It's complex to do a restructuring which is ...

Re: Air Manager 4.3

Thanks for doing this. My girlfriend is a user researcher, I know how much work this is and how much it pays off to test designs early and frequently. Mostly she does things like "where would you look for?" and "how does this work?" and "why do you do this?" to get a gr...

Re: Air Manager 4.3

+1 on what SimPassion wrote, but I admit I have noticed the "enter-behavior" only when sending test data to the instrument. Controlling AM should be consistent and doing it by keyboard helps the workflow. One other cosmetic thing I came across is the somewhat confusing display of connected...

Using Arduino when it's not connected to AM?

Hi, I am using a Nano for sending inputs to the sim. It's got a LED to it and I have a few pins left. I thought about doing some eyecandy RGB stuff when it's idle on the table. As far as I understand, this is not possible due to the AM firmware just supporting action when AM is running. But still I ...

Re: AI assisted Lua scripting?

I gave ChatGPT the following code: (requires Marcelos library, found at https://siminnovations.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=8019 ) local airspeed_gauge = Gauge:new({ size = 256, major_tick = 20, minor_tick = 12, mini_tick = 5, TICK_COLOR = "white", background = "#505761", gauge_bot...

Re: AI assisted Lua scripting?

Hi, it's not quite as simple as that. It assists, it doesn't do the job for you. Some knowledge is always required as you need to know how to respond if things do not work. For example, it will never create a gauge for you, it will assist and may well give you completely wrong information. ;) Not s...

Yes, after entering the value with the num-keys I'd like to press enter right next to it! :) Thank you!

Re: Transition from X-Plane 11 to XxPlane 12

Looks like this is about it for now. I started X-Plane with the Baron at a semi-complex airport, 55 fps. Then I loaded the DA-62 at a complex airport, with internal 3D cockpit on, 40 fps. With the popouts it went down to about 30.

Re: Air Manager 4.3

One thing that I always do wrong the first time (yesyes, user error) is when testing an instrument and sending a value to the dataref, I press "enter" and nothing happens. So, uh, yes, where is the mouse...

I'd wish for having the value send once I press enter.
