Good Morning,
I'm learning to fly a light sport aircraft in FS2020, which is obviously not in the panel shop of Air Manager. With that being said, is there a way to submit requests for panel designs from the community here? I've looked at the user guide, and the XML coding process is way beyond me. Any help you can provide is appreciated.
Regards,
Kevin Davis
Panel Requests?
Re: Panel Requests?
Scripting is not in XML but Lua. Maybe I do not speak for everyone in the community, but it's not just a matter of saying 'Hey make this'. Creating instruments and complete panels takes hours and hours of time. There must at least be some compensation.
Re: Panel Requests?
Welcome to the forum.
Air Manager does not operate xml gauges. Xml is used to code instruments and avionics for use directly in the sim. Air Manager operates outside of the sim and can even be on a different computer. It uses the Lua scripting language along with its own API that makes creating your own instruments easy and fun. You’ve come to the right place to start your instrument and panel development journey.
For starters be sure to check out the Sim Innovations wiki site and the API tutorial video series linked in my signature below.

Can you describe the panel you are trying to create?kevinmdavis2010 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 13, 2021 10:47 am Good Morning,

It may be possible to make a reasonable facsimile using already existing community instruments.
Cheers,

Re: Panel Requests?
Hi Ralph,
I would be perfectly fine paying someone to make the panel. I apologize for any confusion.

Hi Eric,
I'm looking to make a panel for the Jabiru J-170 Light Sport Aircraft from IRIS Simulations.

Re: Panel Requests?
According to their website, there are four possible panels that are available for that aircraft.kevinmdavis2010 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 15, 2021 11:48 am Hi Eric,

The one pictured on the website shows five flight instruments, four of which are standard. The fifth is some sort of electronic flight instrument.
There's also a tablet display, some engine instruments, and some sort of autopilot.
I think more details on each of these would be necessary to see if there are reasonably close matches in the instrument library.
For the tablet, your best bet might be to purchase the ForeFlight app for your iPad, and then connect it to MSFS.
Do you have a yoke? Throttle quadrant? Do you want any controls represented on your panel?
This sounds like a fun project!
