You have to clone the panel(s) on the Panels tab to have them available/stored in Air Manager. You will have to go into the file system trough SSH. I can give you the directory if you feel comfortable with using the command line.

Not for the Pi.

If I remember correctly, you have to go to the root directory: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentati ... root%2F%20.
For which you'll need to turn on sudo rights.

Then the Air Player folder is there somewhere. But I would have to have a look around myself to find it, I hardly go there.

Still don’t understand why they are not in the location Keith posted on the AM machine. What am I missing. I haven’t used AP for some time. Has the panel creation/upload process changed?

Okay, finally I solved my problem, which might be caused by using different users and throwing my AM-machine out of a domain and joining again.
Just a short description what the problem was ...

My old AirPlayer 3.6 on a RPi stopped working. The panel did not show up any more and even the Rpi was not recognized from AM after upgrading to AM 3.7.

Simply installing AirPlayer 3.7 on a fresh SD-card connected my Rpi now to AM 3.7, but the custom panel did not show up! This behaviour is different than the forum guys proposed!

Now, I took the OLD SD-card, bootet the RPI and connected to the file-system via WinSCP. Putting the SD-crd in your PC does not work!
The important diretory tree is located under root!, not under home/pi as you might expect!. Copied the whole tree to a temp directry on my PC.

Then, switch to the NEW SD-card and copy the tree to /root, overwriting the original folder/tree!
This might be a problem, as the /root-folder is not writable for pi!

After a reboot, now my custom Panel did show up under Air Managers devices, but my custom instruments including their code still missing.

Now, I copied the Air Manager folder tree from c:\users\MY_OLD_USER\ to c:\users\MY_CURRENT_USER\

After restarting AM, now I can see my custom panel on the Rpi, including all custom instruments and their code.

BTW: My personal behaviour of using a Domain-User for X-plane and developing might in the future again cause confusion, if I temporarliy use a Domain-Admin-account or a different user
