Hangar/maintenance stuff is something I'm working on for the near future, not only for C23 but for all my other projects as well. The current update was initially to include just bug fixes, but at the end I have added a lot more features, like librain support and the new AFM's Garmin G5. Here's a preview.

@Cameron The new installer goes without any error!

Okay, I believe I have it resolved. Please go to your account and re-download the G5, as the installers have been re-compiled to hopefully solve this issue.

Thinking about this more I may know what is causing this. It's unique to this product. Let me run a few tests and re-code something and I'll get back with you in this topic.

Advanced Flight Modeling and X-Aviation are excited to announce the release of the G5 EFIS attitude indicator & DG/HSI display! The Advanced Flight Modeling G5 is a simulation inspired by the real world Garmin G5 and is for use in X-Plane 11. It is a true to life simulation which may be ran in different modes for your favorite aircraft(s) in X-Plane, including integrated into the 3D cockpit, as a standalone popup, both, or paired with the BRAND NEW RealSimGear G5 hardware units! The electronic flight instrument is an all-in-one backup or primary “glass cockpit” display. The G5 has 2 pilot-selectable main page formats: a PFD page and a DG (directional gyro) or HSI (horizontal situation indicator) page. By combining visual cues and data readouts once scattered across a myriad of instruments, G5 makes flight information easier to scan — so pilots can respond more quickly and intuitively to any inflight situation. Features: Can be ran with any aircraft in pop-out mode, or in the 3D cockpit when an aircraft developer includes the option for it The default X-Plane Cessna 172 is included with the G5 mod ready to fly A great set of instruments to assist in your instrument scan and assist with safer flight Fully integrated with the RealSimGear G5 The AFM G5 is AVAILABLE NOW!

Hi, I have never flown C23 in real life, but I did put some hours in Debonair, Sierra and Bonanza. First, of all very impressive model a typical high standard LES implementation. It feels and breathes like typical Beech. However, few little things I miss among other movable sun visors, headset that would reduce engine noise, and finally rain and ice effect.

It will download as the latest version! The following is a list of additions/fixes included: What's New / Changed: Fixed GTNs in Ovation 2 Fixed preference file saving and loading Adjusted failure sensitivity Updated Libacfutils to a newer version for AFM G5 compatibility As always, thanks for being a customer with X-Aviation. We appreciate your feedback and support! Enjoy these latest updates, and stay tuned to the forum as we continually announce the latest happenings.

That is what I know about my iMac, thanks. (I thought Rob was talking about driver inside X-Plane). I will eliminate all plugins see what happen and if TBM works fine I"ll try to reinstall them one by one to see if they don't cause TBM/XP to crash - will tell about my experience

Currently is about another aircraft, but will be migrated to Sundowner as soon as it will be ready. I'll post previews when there is something meaningful to see.

The issue with the screen edge being cut off is due to the G5 being rendered at a resolution too high for the panel.png texture of the aircraft. We are open to all feature requests! We have a list we are going through now, but feel free to add your own here: https://afms.im/fReq (then I can link you to the features so I can keep you updated on progress, etc.)

Fantastic!

@Coop I will give it a try! The screenshot was from a popup on a different screen. Just got the G5 installed correctly and I will mess around a bit with it! I will be waiting eagerly for the mbar option! Wish you a lot of sales so you can keep up the support and development! IRL this is a very nice instrument!

Will do it asap and let you know if it fixed the problem. It might also fix some of the issues I have now but I had to try to get it to work

The installer also places an aircraft installer app. I advise you re-download and re-install to ensure you have all components of the product you paid for.

This is great! I read through the manuals. Quick question. Can it be integrated into a plane with a GTN750 running? I was thinking about using it with the Bonanza F33A.

Yes. Here you are...

It appears you are using Windows. I have verified the installer on Windows and also verified other customers have successfully installed on Windows, so whatever is happening here is on your end. The only things that come to mind are any one of the following: 1. Trying to run the installer from a zipped file. This will not work and you'll need to unzip first. 2. Utilizing an unreliable internet connection. This can include WiFi dropouts. 3. Some kind of firewall or anti-virus blocking it. This sounds like the most likely scenario to me.

I was already thinking about how wide the tape would be I am really glad this instrument is finally developed! I will make some Air Manager panels. It will be a great addon with the RealityXP 530/430 and GTN 650/750.

V-speed flags are currently not integrated, but it is a feature we are considering! It should also be feasible to integrate as the plugin currently is via the adjustable texture for the tape.

Got it already Will try it tomorrow! Is it possible to set speeds on the ASI?

So some pretty significant news. One of the contributing factors to our lack of updating was our mostly deprecated 3D toolchain using a very old version of Blender. Because our project is of a significant amount of 3D complexity.....manually transposing all the work (6 years worth) to the newest toolchain used by Laminar was so daunting as to preclude us from even attempting it. Laminar, recognizing the volume of work performed by many aircraft developers in this old version of Blender was significant enough to warrant their development of an "automatic conversion" tool. As such, Ted Green of Laminar took on the task and provided it as of a few months ago.....but we (IXEG) have only gotten around to trying it recently....after waiting for Blender 2.8+ to also evolved and stabilize . But I am happy to report that we have successfully converted about 85% of our 3D work and its now in the new Blender 3D / Laminar pipeline and exporting as expected. The remaining 15%, we will have to do by hand and will take a bit of time....but once done, SHOULD allow us to make more frequent updates as we did early in our release. It is our hope that once we get the new toolchain back up and running (and it was our efficient toolchain that allowed quick updates during release)....we should be able to handle updates well again. It was unfortunate that XP and the toolchain (and Blender) all changed radically at about the same time...leaving us somewhat in a difficult spot, but I do see a lot of light on the horizon. -TomKyler

Thanks for this mini review. We're definitely looking at adding a few things. There'll be a couple of nice little surprises in the next update. Also, librain will be added in the future as well.
