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!

Will get it tomorrow! Great job! So far I have only been able to use this fantastic instrument IRL.

If you change the sky color set in SMP to default instead of Hoske-Wilkie, does the problem clear up? If not, then I don't think it's us.

thank you I will try updating them

The icing is still implemented, but due to the vulkan compatibility update, it might not work as expected. When vulkan becomes official, it’ll definitely be working as expected.

Vulkan won't really change much of anything for X-Plane's visuals, or necessarily allow us to do something we couldn't before. In fact, for a while it will prevent add-ons from doing what they can do already in some cases (like xEnviro and SkyMaxx Pro from even working).

I’m away from my pc for the next few days. When I get back, I’ll take a look at the normal map to see if it’s something wrong on my end.

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
