M20 G1000 questions/finding/issues

[azpilot61]

I have just purchased the M20 collection and while they are cool I'm a bit disappointed with them.  Below are a few of my issues so far

1. I have the Realsim Gear G1000 setup PFD/MFD and I have to pop out and resize the panel each time I load the aircraft. (Haven't found a way to make them auto pop when starting the aircraft but this would be really nice to have so they pop out in the same location on each PFD and MFD)

2. Once popped out non-bezel, I can drag the left or right corner to resize, however they don't exactly fit the realsim gear panels and either the bottom or top are cutoff and hard to see. It would be great to allow the resize to work from left and right as well this would resolve the issue I'm having.

3. I have honeycomb Alpha Yoke and Bravo throttle, unfortunately, nothing works! Not one switch on the yoke works and I can only assign keyboard commands? 

I gave up right here and just stopped. I'd like to get this working or at least find out if any of it will or won't before starting to configure the heck out it. 

 

Thanks

Hi!

Regarding the G1000, an auto popout system is not currently integrated, just the bezel-less popouts that need to be manually assigned. We have a much better method for window handling in development, the M20 will get the modernizing this system in the future.

Regarding the Yoke/Throttle. The commands are bindable in X-Plane joystick settings. All AFM commands are under afm/m20r/cmd/switches and should be descriptively labeled to identify their function.

Yep I have the joystick configured in Xplane and its all working fine, however where is this path at? afm/m20r/cmd/switches

You can find it in the X-Plane command browser in joystick settings when all commands are visible. It will show the commands in a big list with drop downs. Click + on "afm" to expand these options.

Sorry not seeing this anywhere. Thanks for the help but I'm so frustrated right now with this that I'm just done with it and removed the aircraft

After a quick lunch I re-installed, pulled my head out of my .... and created a new profile for the M20 series and then found the AFM area and assigned all the joystick settings I needed.. Sorry its been crazy.. but I'm up and running now. 

Nice flying aircraft, can't wait to get the pop out stuff sorted. 

Thanks again
