TDS GTNxi for MSFS Air manager integaration

[adminOwner2]

Hello,

The TDS GTNXi is set to accept these events. We are not sure how you configure them within AirManager as we are not accustomed to the problem. Does AirManager allow you to send a value when sending the MSFS event?

Are these K: events? That would be useful information.

Crunchmeister: have a look at this

Already saw that. There's exactly zero useful information there.

According to the link above, I would try this:

fs2020_event("GPS_DIRECTTO_BUTTON", 2) - down

fs2020_event("GPS_DIRECTTO_BUTTON", 4) - up

I am not sure how AirManager handles mouse events, if it lets you have separate down/up events. If not, there will have to be a delay between the events so we would process them.


Please let us know if this works, if not we will analyze how to take it from here.

Yes, these are K: events!

Now THAT is useful information! Thank you!

Tip: You should probably include that in your documentation. This is a product that will be used by cockpit builders, and this is crucial information.

I'll give that a try and see how it works out. Was busy programming other Air Manager instruments for the new Daher Kodiak all day today, so never got a chance to try this. But since you've confirmed they're K events, that code should work out.

I haven't used K: events in my instruments yet, but I believe it would be fs2020_event("K:GPS_DIRECTTO_BUTTON", 2). Mouse down and up events are handled separately. It shouldn't be an issue at all.

I got it working. Both the 750 and 650 bezels for Air Manager are available for download from the Simstrumentation GitHub page.

No problem. I've made a lot of instruments for Air Manager in the past 6 months or so and always glad to share them with the community when I do. 


And @Jonit, glad to be able to get this done for you. Like I said, it was on my radar. I just had to get to it. Don't know if you're following the Simstrumentation thread closely on the MSFS forum or our Discord, but I've cranked out quite a few instruments for various planes and systems during my holidays!
