530 Overlay NOT Transparent
530 Overlay NOT Transparent
I built a panel that includes the Generic 530 Overly in AM. This is the third panel I have built. One of them is an instance with the G1000. What is different between the G1000 and the 530 is that when I show the G1000 Panel, I can clearly see the wallpaper of the screen - it is transparent, so it was easy to line up the pop outs. When I try to do the same thing with the 530, all I get is a black screen - no transparency. If I hide the panel, the pop out is there, in the right position, it just isn't showing through. The GPS pop is working, and even the Knobster on the overlay bezel that has the black screen is actually operating the 530 in the cockpit view of the airplane. I run a second touch screen monitor where I display the Panel and I hide the in cockpit view. I am running AM Home Use 4.1.1. I have watched several videos and read a number of forum posts. I simply can't figure out what is wrong. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Re: 530 Overlay NOT Transparent
Note that your panel background also has to be transparent for this.
Re: 530 Overlay NOT Transparent
I do not see where I set that or where I can change that
Re: 530 Overlay NOT Transparent
OK I get it now...That is the problem. I purchased the premium 182 panel and then modified it. When I removed the radio stack and replaced it with what I wanted, the area behind the radio stack isn't "white" like it is in my G1000 panel. Since I bought the premium panel, I don't know how to go about editing that area so it is clear.
Re: 530 Overlay NOT Transparent
You can modify the background image. It is in the Air Manager folder in the user folder. I do not know where exactly, I would have to look it up.
Re: 530 Overlay NOT Transparent
If someone could give me some guidance on how exactly to go about that I would appreciate it. I need to make at least the area the 530 will go into transparent.
Re: 530 Overlay NOT Transparent
Do you mean how to make it transparent or how to get the image?
Re: 530 Overlay NOT Transparent
I am seeking info on how to modify the background image so that the section that I need to show through the pop out isn’t black. Is it just a matter of modifying a JPG? Don’t want to mess something up.

I guess making that area transparent
