Missing streaming video key?

#1 Post by Pagouti »

My favourite plane is Aerobask’s Diamond DA62. I have a (nearly) fully functioning cockpit for this plane. Recently, I have moved to Air Manager 5 and this seemed a good moment to have a look at video streaming.

The key “xpl/G1000_PFD_1”, however, produces a very ugly result. Apparently, the DA62 requires a different key to stream the proper G1000 layout. Is there any chance that this layout will become available in some near future?

For the time being, I will have to do with popouts and repositioning and resizing these every now and then. Not too bad, yet I am looking forward to have somewhat more stability in this respect.

Kindly Yours,

Han Schouten

The DA62 synthetic vision G1000 is an extra plugin. You cannot stream this via AM. However, you can use the internal function - I think you just need to click on it and then pop it out as an extra window.

Hi
I have not DA62 but I have the other Aerobask.

Try these.
NOTE: If the synthetic does not work then change the airframe to the STD 172 run it then change back to the DA62. It should then work.

Code: Select all

pfd_videostreem = video_stream_add("xpl/gauges[1]",386, 98, 2048, 1536, 1538, 1280, 1023, 768) 

mfd_videostreem = video_stream_add("xpl/gauges[1]",386, 98, 2048, 1536, 1538, 512, 1023, 768)

It's already in the G1000 bezel as an option to choose from.

Small correction Keith

Code: Select all

pfd_videostream = video_stream_add("xpl/gauges[1]",386, 98, 2048, 1536, 1538, 1280, 1023, 768) 

mfd_videostream = video_stream_add("xpl/gauges[1]",386, 98, 2048, 1536, 1538, 512, 1023, 768)
This is working well with the Phenom 300 PFD, in a square 1440 x 1440 AM instrument, thanks Keith for the idea 👍

Code: Select all

pfd_videostream = video_stream_add("xpl/gauges[1]",0, 0, 1440, 1440, 1538, 1280, 1023, 1023)

and for the MFD

Code: Select all

mfd_videostream = video_stream_add("xpl/gauges[1]",0, 0, 1440, 1440, 1538, 500, 1023, 835)

Yes indeed Aerobask don’t use the standard G1000 key. It’s not hard to locate the correct one though.

Yes 👍 As @Ralph already mentioned, just refer to the G1000PFD-MFD Overlay #96 to #99 lines, which indeed are displaying through the bezel and just require a bit of adjustment if the stream is displayed alone on its own

Code: Select all

    elseif user_prop_get(display_pos) == "Aerobask DA62 PFD" then
        vst_g1000 = video_stream_add("xpl/gauges[1]", 416, 100, 2048, 1536, 1538, 1280, 1023, 768)
    elseif user_prop_get(display_pos) == "Aerobask DA62 MFD" then
        vst_g1000 = video_stream_add("xpl/gauges[1]", 416, 100, 2048, 1536, 1538, 512, 1023, 768)
