Touch panels, iPad, Air Manager, Spacedesk sanity check

Basically, install Space Desk on your SIM PC, and on the iPad(s).

Keep in mind, the older ones are not supported and it will not install

iOS VIEWER on iPhones, iPads and iPod touch
iOS (> version 9.3)

Once you have that up and running, connect your iPad(s) and through Space Desk, they now act as touch displays.

From there, get Air Manager (have to pay for it if you want to use anything other than the 152 panel). With that, you can get the Bezels for G1000’s, a ton of other instruments and pre made panels. (some are free, some cost money).

I suggest you head over to Simstrumentation’s discord where most of the MSFS Air Manager users hang out. There is always someone around who will help you out.

Next, get Pop Out Manager, this will help automate the panel pop out process (remembers what panels you popped out, what you sized them to and where you placed them).

Again, Simstrumentation Discord will provide guidance on all 3 of these products, we all use them in conjunction with one another daily.

My examples:

CRJ900 - 9 Pop Outs, 2 touch panels, 2 iPads 1 tablet, 2 Knobsters.

Fenix A320 - 7 Pop Outs, 3 Touch panels, 2 iPads, 1 tablet, 2 Knobsters.

Here’s a G1000 example.
