Re: yet another generic cockpit

Yep, I figured that too. The problem is that the dual encoder they used (probably an ELMA E37) is quite expensive already (around 25$ each), and that this kind of encoder doesn't send pulses the same way a cheap mouse encoder (the one used in the Saitek) does. They probably designed a small circuit ...

Capture.PNG I worked carefully (maybe too much considering the final size) on shadows transparency and depth of the screw itself an...

Re: yet another generic cockpit

I tried Spad.Next. Waaaay too much complicated in my opinion, and if you are planning using the stock Saitek Panels, not worth it, as I don't see the advantages over the original SPAD software. For my part, I stick with the original SPAD, and of course completely deinstalled the Saitek Drivers. Work...

Re: Instrument/panel size has just grown.

Try and find the Air Manager config.xml file, and rename it config.old, then restart Air Manager. Your gauges should come back.

Re: Am 2.1.3 doesn't keep instrument panel position

I can understand that since the workspace has changed, Windows then asks AM to redraw the gauges using the newly available workspace max coordinates. But what I find annoying is since I'm supposed to have backed up the appropriate configuration using the "save configuration" menu, when the...

Am 2.1.3 doesn't keep instrument panel position

I encounter a very annoying and recurring problem since a long time. I have 4 computer screens connected to my Laptop, and my AM B58 panel is located on a 24 inches monitor, with all gauges (20+) manually positioned. I have made the panel "locked" by clicking on the lock icon of the panel,...
