Running X-plane 11, I Have an Aquila 210 from Picus-X which is equiped with a Garmain G500 (not the new touch / TXi variant!) I am looking for a way to use this panel on Air Manager.
I have Air Manager running on a seperate Windows 10 VM with a touchscreen (via GPU-Passthrough), I found out that if I would want to pop-out the G500 screen of the Aquila I would als need to run X-plane on the VM since it would otherwise not be possible to drag the pop-out to the touchscreen. The only problem is that I have nog found a G500 on Air Manager... Is there a way to implement the G500 panel?

Re: Garmin G500
No, pop outs only work on the same computer as the flight simulator (X-Plane). It would be easier to bring Air Manager to the flight simulator computer.
Re: Garmin G500
You mean it is possible to pop-out the G500 with bezel and then use this G500 in Air Manager with all the same functions it has in the Aquila 210 ?
I thought I needed a working G500 "bezel" form Air Manager for this to work... but maybe I interpreted the videos from Russ Barlow on youtube wrong about this.
I Guess I then just need an extra licence from X-plane for this to work on the VM which also runs the Air Manager (in what X-plane calls a Master -Slave setup) ... since I Have 5 monitors (3 normal monitors and 2 touchscreens) which I cannot connect all to one computer...

Re: Garmin G500
It’s not clear if the G500 can be popped out into its own window and un-docked from the sim display. If it can then the next thing you will need is custom commands and/or datarefs for all the bezel controls. If these are also available then you can do the same as a normal sim pop out using AM to control it. Xplane and AM need to co-exist on the same machine.

Re: Garmin G500
Which means one would have to program the bezel and function of the knobs and buttons?If it can then the next thing you will need is custom commands and/or datarefs for all the bezel controls.
I am not sure if I am the right person to do that...

Hi,
We could teach you and in no time you could become a master at instrument dev.

Re: Garmin G500
OK... So I guess there is no other option then to create one myself.
Where would one have to start with? A picture of the bezel?
Can I somehowe use the Garmin GTN trainer for the G500 for this?

Re: Garmin G500
Did you ever find a solution for the G500 bezel?
Re: Garmin G500
Just found out there are other users of Aquila and AirManager!
Any news about the Garmin implementation?
How have you setup your instruments currently? I am thinking about implementing some Aquila instruments on AirManager. I am most interested in the following:

- Airspeed indicator with correct speeds (maybe there is a generic one available?)
- Manifold pressure and RPMs with correct limits (maybe there is a generic one available?)
- Garmin interface
- Switch panel with correct sequence (I suppose this is easy to be implemented)
- Carburetor heat
- Flaps actuator
- Trim actuator
