No matter for me, it's at your convenience ozuser
I only think of a new useful "easter egg" for this button, when I have time
I will report you when ready : I have to keep in mind to port our GA project to x-plane too
but it was very interesting to work on your instrument
and begin to acquire a small knowledge about x-plane datarefs,
by opening ZIBOmod fms script while doing search on x-plane documentation

Best regards
Gilles

Now added display only version for cockpit builders / users with existing CDU hardware.

Enjoy

I have installed now the Air Manager Demo.

I have downloadet from Sim Innovations Forum your files from 25.Nov.2017. That was the newest i found.

I see the CDU on screen. All buttons are working but no display is shown.

What's my foult?
Can you please help me?

Hi Horst

This is the latest version I am using:
529f011a-3ae7-4763-88ea-e16fcc772094.zip

I am running Xplane 11.10 (newest update) with zibo version 3.22h and it works OK here.

Are you running Xplane, or just looking at the panel in Air Manager? It won't display anything on the CDU screen until it receives datarefs from xplane.

If it still doesn't work for you I'm not sure what else to try, but I haven't tested with the latest zibo version yet.

regards
Darren

Hi Darren,

Thanks for your quick answer.
I'm on MAC, X-Plane 11.10r2, Zibo mod 3.22x.

Ok. I test it out. Thank you.

Hi, Darren,
i have installed your zip but nothing has changed. It was the same file i download last.

No Display!! But buttons all okay.

I use the demo Air Manager V2.1.3 is that a problem?

Maebe it is a Font issue?
I'm on MAC. I have no Windows. Only Mac and Linux.

An idea?

regards
Horst

I made it on the open beta for Air Manager 3.0 so maybe it only works on that version?

The font is in the folder with the instrument so not sure if that is the problem but I'm not sure how the Mac handles fonts.

Works the same. But note that for 2.1.3 you have to use the load font function, I'm not sure if that's implemented in the script...? Also, I'm not really sure if the demo handles other instruments than the demo instruments, it probably will, but I'm not 100% sure.

Hi,
In order to be seen by others computers as yours, the police must be load at the start of the script.
something like these line (it's an example)

txt_load_font("Inconsolata-Bold.ttf")
txt_load_font("Inconsolata-Bold_sml.ttf")

be carefull that there's another sintax for the text
we must write for example:
line1_lime = txt_add(" ", " -fx-font-family:BoeingCDU-Large; -fx-font-size:16px; -fx-fill:lime; -fx-font-weight:bold; -fx-text-alignment:left;", 120, 77, 588, 50)visible(line1_lime,true)

Im reworking also a FMC that didn't shows anything (passed all last day to align the letters !)
can't we have a grid to find wher to put the word?
sheers and merry Xmas.

I have installed the font, but i doesn't help.
No matter. I trust that it works :).
Now i must decide if i buy AirManager or search for own solution, because the only reason is, that UICPX can't overwrite the datarefs created in LUA :(

But thanks for you help and merry Christmas
Regards
Horst
