Zibo Overhead Panel

#1 Post by Richhall2711 »

Hello

I recently purchased the Zibo 737 Overhead Panel for Air Manager Desktop 3.7. It looks superb on my 43” tv as my overhead. One question, can I turn it into a night mode format so basically a dark screen but backlit.

I know Russ Barlow was thinking of looking at it a while ago.

It is just that at night it lights my whole room up because it is so bright.

Looking forward to hearing from you

Kind regards
Rich

No night mode, sorry. We would have to redo all the graphics. Maybe dim your screen's brightness?

Ralph,

Just out of interest, could I clone the panel and play around with it to change it myself. If so could someone tell me how to change only one of the numerous panels on the overhead and I will change the rest to see how it looks.

Here’s hoping I can

Regards

Hi Rich,

I answered that in your other thread. The answer is NO.

However I have done some work on a overhead. Let me see if I can revive that one and send Ralph the canvas version to help you.

Hi Rich,

I did some work on it over the weekend. But there is still a lot to do.

Good news is that I had a brief chat to Ralph and he is happy to add it to the store if it comes up to store standard.
Also I need to update zibo to 43.n. I last updated on 41 full. So there might be changes.

Hi Keith,

Firstly I would like to say thanks for looking at it, it is really appreciated.

Secondly I will wait in anticipation to see it once you’ve found some spare time to work on it more.

Happy to make a donation once complete for all your hard work.

Look forward to catching up soon.

All the best
Rich

Good morning everyone,

First of all, I would like to extend a brief greeting and a thank you to the forum and to everyone who works hard to make everything run smoothly.

I am referring to XP12 and Zibo 737-800X.
I have the following problem: if I try to start, for example, engine no. 1 using the Zibo overhead in the simulator, the start proceeds normally. However, if I then try to start engine no. 2 with the Instrument "Overhead Panel 3.41 full," the engine does not start. Additionally, engine no. 2 becomes unstartable even if I use the Zibo overhead in the simulator.

I performed the same test with the Panel "Boeing 737-800 Overhead Panel" purchased from Sim Innovation, and everything works fine.

Of course, with respect for the great skills of those who wrote the code, I have read the "0v-Overhead Light & Engine Start Panel" section of the Instrument "Overhead Panel 3.41 full" and tried to understand if there is something I need to do, but so far, without success.

The versions of W11, XP12, and Zibo that I am using are the latest stable releases available.

Thank you in advance for any help or suggestions.
