@Herbert,
thank you seeing that. I have now removed the German document from my Dropbox. The english one is up to date.

Here is a panel I made based on your layout ideas. It is made with Skinman.

The only issue I still have, is the V/S dial and indication of the MCP.
During flight when I select V/S my V/S display shows -16960 and the dial (ribbon control) is stuck.
When I pause the sim (active pause) it´s showing the correct values and the dial is working.
Hmm. what makes the difference of active and active pause?
Regards, Herbert

Hi all,
I'm doing my first steps with Air Manager, so I apologize for any naive question, thanks for your help and understanding!

I'm trying to set a FMC panel using one of the many great contributions of Detlef, namely the PMDG 737-700 FMC Overlay.
But all I get is an empty frame with clickable keys, there's no screen content.
The PC where I'm running MSFS2020 and PMDG 737-800 has Air Manager and plugin properly installed, so I'm a bit lost...
Is this maybe because I have PMDG 737-800 instead of 700 version, or else I'm overlooking something?

Thanks in advance for any help!
Roberto

Hi Roberto and welcome.

Whenever you see the words overlay in an instrument name it means it is designed as an instrument that overlays something else. This something is almost always a pop out display from the sim but I guess it could also be something else. So in other words you need 2 elements to complete the whole FMS. The sim popout which gives the display portion and the Air Manager overlay that sits over the display and provides the bezel with all its controls. There are several other instruments that operate like this so look out for that word overlay in the name for others like this.

First off let me say that I'm using the entire suite of guages includind the FSUIPC ones and love them. The only thing that I have found is that the ADF Radio and the Transponder Radio don't have the option the use "Real" setting for illumination. Would it be possible to get that working? :pray:
