I feel stupid again. A reboot fixed it. Thanks!!!
The latest beta is not 3.7 so you should grab the latest beta plugin also.
So Iâve tried every setting I can think of in both MSFS and AM and I canât get the popout window to remain within the bezel on the G1000 NXi. As soon as I touch any of the functions on the G1000 bezel the popout window falls behind the Garmin display and I have to use the mouse and click on the main display in the sim to get it to come back on top of the bezel. Iâm sure itâs just a setting but I canât figure it out.
You need a transparent background for you panel with your AM panel set to âalways on topâ. That way you can keep AM on top, but see your G1000 screen through the cutout for the screen in the bezel.

Ahh, the second I read those four words I realized my mistake. I did see that setting earlier and even tried it to see what effect it had but not while I had a window popped out. I feel foolish. But this sim does that to me often.
Thank you again Crunch (to the rescue!).

Make sure you understand what those panel settings actually do.
The new GMA1347 Audio Panel v2.0 is now available from our GitHub. It features newly developed, higher resolution graphics by @CaptainTick433 and some updates using new variables in SU6. There are still a lot of INOP buttons, but thatâs a limitation of the sim itself. All the important functionsĂ actually work.

So after several hours of trying to get these to work Iâm still struggling to get the popouts to properly frame inside the transparency. Iâve ticked the âclick throughâ in the settings and it seems to properly indicate but as soon as I click âshowâ then the âclick throughâ goes gray and I canât move the popout once I release it inside the transparency. I do have the Graphics API setting on Auto and Iâve tried to force DX-11 but the result is the same either way.
Also the FPS hit is dramatic. I know the first popout is going to cut my FPS in half which it does. From a strong 60âs down to low 30âs but the second popout is a killer taking me down to low 20âs. Almost unplayable. Does anybody know if this is being considered for a fix from MSAsobo?
Make sure you donât have v-synch enabled in MSFS or a frame rate limiter in your GPUâs control panel. That will murder your frame rate with popouts.
Ah, I do have FPS limited at 80 in Nvidia CP (only due to the runaway FPS during loading). Iâll remove and try again.
Thanks as always Crunch!

As for popout window placement, it can be a real pain to get lined up. I strongly recommend using FancyZones if you havenât got it already. Once get the windows placed, trace your zone around them, and youâll never have to resize like that again. Youâll just have to shift+drag into your created zone and youâll be good to go.
That makes no difference.
Weâve been complaining about this for over a year and they havenât so much as even acknowledged it as being an issue. Itâs been asked in chat multiple times in every Q&A and ignored there as well.
So Iâm still having a couple of issues.
-
Even with V-sync off and no FPS limiter in Nvidia CP Iâm still seeing FPS of exactly 20 if, and I say if, my mouse is clicked anywhere on the monitor in which the sim is running. As long as Iâm focused OFF of that monitor my fps is fairly stable in mid to upper 30âs and even into the 40âs. Now of course itâs easy enough to just click off that monitor but it is a very peculiar result.

Iâm unable to get the click thru to work at all with the AM panels. But I did manage a pretty good workflow to get the panels sized and in place regardless but yeah, it is a pain. I will definitely try fancy zones.
Odd. I only get about 45 fps. I drop to 30 when I pop out instruments and stay there. No other drop. Well, busy environments can definitely drop me to mid 20s on the ground, but thatâs kind of my baseline of 30. I can have 1 popout or 10 and it has no extra impact on my frame rate. Iâm always at that baseline of 30. Not sure what to tell you about that or what to suggest.
I really wish Asobo would fix this issue.
Crunch, I tried FancyZones, didnât like it. Tried MSFS Popout manager by Roastgnu, much better. I found it much easier to size and position the panel. Once I got your 1000 bezel aligned with it in AM itâs all automatic.
Iâve been meaning to give that one a try. I may have to see how well it works for me.
What part of the process from the video that I linked does not work? If we can establish which bit we can focus on that.
As with most things itâs easy once you know how.
As I said in my post above (post 67). The click-through does not work. As soon as I âshowâ the panel that Click Through and the associated tick mark go gray. The Lock Panel and Stay on Top stay lit but Click Through does not. And most importantly I canât click through the transparency. As soon as I let go the popout panel it is immovable until I hide the panel (bezel) again.
In you video you talk about this at the 31:45 mark.
Ok. The first point to note is the Click through tick can only be changed when the panel is not running. You will notice it becomes selectable whenever the panel is not running. So that part is perfectly normal.
The second point is a bit weird. If click through is ticked and Directx is being used then it should just work as I show. I guess another thing to try would be your graphics driver. I canât think of much else.
I see that a panel for the Arrow is listed, but the only thing there is a fuel selector? Any idea where I can get the rest of the panel?
