Late reply as I missed your response. Many thanks for this @Coop

I have my own homebuilt cockpit and would like to send a specific X-Plane dataref command from MobiFlight to set the fuel tank position to either the left or right tank. I can see the commands below to increment or decrement the tank selector but this does not allow me to confidently select a fixed position. afm/sr/cmd/fuel/selLeft afm/sr/cmd/fuel/selRight It only rotates the selector to the left or right from the current position. The only way I can think of using these commands is to e.g. send 3x left commands and then 1 right command to ensure the left tank is selected. This cycles the selector through all possible left positions (including off) then increments it by one right position to select the right tank. I'm not even sure MobiFlight can send multiple commands like this. Is there a dataref command to just select left or right tank? Thank you.

Quick follow-up question @Coop. With the G1000 SR22, changing the view to "Forward with no display" causes the popout screens to "freeze" i.e. the displays no longer update. They only seem to work with the 3D cockpit view. However, this is not ideal for homebuilt cockpits and also differs from the Entegra version which does update in "Forward with no display" view. Do you know if it's possible to have the G1000 instrument panels popped out and and not show the internal cockpit on the main screens? Thanks again.

Excellent, that gives me something to go on. I triggered afm/sr/cmd/popup/PFD_NOBEZEL from the DataRefTool and that did indeed pop out the PFD to the correct screen with no bezel. I'm sure I can modify my script in Air Manager to pop out the displays when the model starts up or tie it to a hardware function. Thanks @Coop, appreciate your help!

I love the SR22 Entegra model, it's remarkably true-to-life and has been a huge benefit getting me through my instrument rating. One of the features I love is that I can have the PFD and MFD pop out automatically to separate displays using this kind of config in popups.cfg: pfd_fill_window = 1 pfd_h = 1090 pfd_monitor_start = -1 pfd_nbzl_fill_window = 1 pfd_nbzl_h = 768 pfd_nbzl_monitor_start = 4 pfd_nbzl_popup_at_start = 2 pfd_nbzl_w = 1024 pfd_nbzl_x = 0 pfd_nbzl_y = 0 pfd_popup_at_start = 0 pfd_w = 1353 pfd_x = 0 You can see what it looks like in my attached sim photo. Recently I have purchased the SR22 G1000. I was hoping I could achieve the same thing using the popups.cfg file but it does not appear to be working. The G1000 displays refuse to popout when the aircraft loads up in X-Plane. Any ideas? cc @Coop Cheers, Andrew
