Mike Cameron Posted April 25, 2020 Report Posted April 25, 2020 Just purchased today and works good in C172SP. I followed the instructions to install the plugin into the aircraft folder but that is where my understanding ends. I cannot make sense of the instructions to make a window of of the G5 in my aircraft. I opened AcfConfig but do not know what to do next. It seems needlessly difficult for someone who is not an expert in X-Plane. This needs a plugin item to show the G5 as a window. A step by step simple procedure would be appreciated. Thanks for your help. Mike Quote

Thanks for your help. Mike Hi Mike, For using it as a popup there is quite little that actually needs to be done in the acfConfig (and even less in the coming update 1.1.0). If you go to the X-Plane command window, you can bind a keyboard or joystick key to open the G5 windows. If you search afm/g5/cmd you should see the commands under popup for both a and b. Good idea on the plugin item: I will add that to the list! Edited April 25, 2020 by Coop Quote
Mike Cameron Posted April 25, 2020 Author Report Posted April 25, 2020 Thanks, that worked. Only issue now is when I turn on the avionics, the top G5 instrument is partially displayed on the transponder screen and the bottom instrument partially displays on the aircraft's autopilot. They both still work, just distracting. Mike Quote

Mike Cameron Posted May 22, 2020 Author Report Posted May 22, 2020 Coop usually monitors this forum but if he does not, send him a PM and request a beta copy of the patch to fix this issue. That is what worked for me. Quote
