Cessna Citation Longitude Air Manager panels

We pilot the Longitude on a very short hop from London CIty to Southend while using brand new Longitude Air Manager panels.
PANELS AVAILABLE from the www.experimentalsimavionics.com store.

Thanks for all the comments. Since the AAU1 update WT have broken or disrupted almost every instrument in the Longitude panel. Some of what they did is new stuff which adds to the sim but some of the other stuff was just fine before and didn’t change any pilot operation but in the background has a profound effect on the panels. I will therefore need to go back over them fixing up as I go. Working on another aircraft currently but I should get to this one again at some point.

[@beescan22]

Thanks very much, will purchase them!

Excellent panels and well presented video. Improvement please: Urgent need for better tracking of actions in the video. Where the item you're adjusting is on the panel is often difficult to spot - and then it's gone, you're on to the next thing. Suggest a method might be to have a highlight circle around the item on the panel to which you are referring or manipulating. Can that be done?

[@rbarlow]

Beautiful job Tony!

[@BostonClipper]

Russ are you getting a MSFS Vision Jet?

[@DownTheRabbit-Hole]

@@BostonClipper Note: MSFS VJ is not yet optimized for AAU1. 3rd party dev. Maybe soon. Great aircraft. Love the sidestick. unobstructed access to Touchscreens Has AT also. Looks great on 3 wide monitors.

[@BostonClipper]

@@DownTheRabbit-Hole Great view. Easy to fly. Agreed needs AAU1/3rd party help.

[@ianfraserd-wb]

Excellent work Tony. I had already started creating a GMC 7200 panel before I found your video. Got everything to work, including the L and R CRS knobs, but excepting for the FMS to MAN switch and after much searching can still not find the variable. Can you help? Would be much appreciated.

[@beescan22]

I see most of the comments say 1 yr or more old. These panels do show for sale, but one of reply’s states Aau1 changed operation of many panel operating parameters. Are the panels for sale now still operating normally after AAU1? (Posted July 2024). Thanks for your time and effort in producing these panels and videos, would really like to have these.

[@ExperimentalSimAvionics]

Yes they were updated shortly after that so are working with the latest version of MSFS.

[@ExperimentalSimAvionics]

These panels are now available at experimentalsimavionics.com

[@maurersimeon2693]

Wow! Your panels are brilliant! I will be happy to purchase them. Looking forward to their release 🤩

[@johanuyttewaal3986]

I purchased the Longitude panels, very nice. On the 3rd panel, where you can show or hide the pedestal, where is the button to do so? Thank you.

[@ExperimentalSimAvionics]

Look along the bottom edge of the right panel screen and you’ll see a small click spot denoted by an orange plus symbol.

[@DownTheRabbit-Hole]

Of Note: The big advantage of G5000 and Corporate twin Jets is that one can fly all SIDS/Stars with the big tubes and yet fit all instruments on 2 touchscreens/knobster. For example it is very difficult to get all A320 instruments on a couple of panels. The new RTX 4090 by Corsair Vengeance has 3 dp and 2 HDMI, 2T NVME m.2. This is perfect for 3 wide monitor guys and 2 AM touchpanels beneath. This is the only way to fly on VATSIM or Pilotedge IMO. Take care.

[@davidalbritton5898]

Great work, Tony. Looking forward to being able to purchase this Longitude panel. Cheers!

[@DownTheRabbit-Hole]

NEWSFLASH! 8/3/23 This is a great panel. Highly recommend the AirManager Desktop solution for Vatsim users. Popout Manager 4 is out and solves the mouse focus issues...finally. Simbrief flight plans can now be imported directly to box with integrated navigraph charts. Finally!! These Longitude instruments fit beautifully on 2 Asus 21" touchscreens. The G5000 with GTC x3 is future of simming. There really is no longer a need forinflexible hardware home cockpit. Recommend knobster tho.

[@josec4790]

Excellent video. Waiting desperately for you to hopefully work on the Cirrus SR 2x, perspective plus. Thank you

[@DownTheRabbit-Hole]

Agreed. SR22 is important aircraft. Makes using G1000 much easier with keypads. Tony could even create a trim readout of some sort until trim location is animated. Would love to see A2A do a SR22!

[@shafeeqsyed7394]

can i use 2 ipad's with air manager running on my desktop

[@KiloWBravo]

Gashh… it’s beautiful!!! It’s forces me to reconsider my decision about homemade 3d printed panel… Is it possible to use only parts of yours to compose it in to 3d-printed one?

[@ExperimentalSimAvionics]

Yes each instrument is a separate entity and can be moved and resized to where you want.

[@DownTheRabbit-Hole]

Why do you need 3d printed panels for touchscreens for just a few knobs? I recommend you Try these longitude panels on 2 touchscreens first, of course with knobster. Knobs are becoming less and less prevalent. I have spent thousands on realsim gear hardware that is now pretty much obsolete and/or inflexible. Just sayin' no offense.

[@KiloWBravo]

@@DownTheRabbit-Hole no hard feelings at all :) I totally understend touch scren cocept. can't even exlude that I will eventualy divert in to that type of interaction. But... for now, I am in a proces of buling homecokpit to suport my IR/ME training. As a basic ocupation I am/was medical profetional higly asossiatet with high-fidaelyty simulation. What I notice (and generaly its well know conclusion) students are learning more efectyvly when they can interact whit equipment in the way as real as posible. Thats why I decide that my home cokpit will be base on hardwaer interaction as far as reasonebly I can aford :) (screan bazels, encoders, switches). Aiming in to more generic G3000/G5000 base sim I will develop it on a go. So probably it will end upa as some kind of FrankenSim :) All the best from Poland!

[@antoniopettini9503]

I have Ipad Air Manager. There is Cessna CJ4 option but not Cessna Longitude. May I and where get Cessna Longitude air manager?

[@ExperimentalSimAvionics]

These panels have not been released yet. They will be premium panels which are not available on the iPad version of Air Manager. You will need the Desktop version to run any premium panel.

[@andrewc7629]

Great panels. Out of interest have you joined the AAU1 beta and if so, have you had to do any modifications to the panels?

[@pdep]

What touch monitors are you using - size and make, please? Also it seems you have knobster - how many units - just one or one for each monitor. TIA.

[@ExperimentalSimAvionics]

If you mean in this video then it’s dual Dell 24” touch monitors with a single knobster.

[@pdep]

@@ExperimentalSimAvionics 👍

[@rockywaves]

Great work! Will you release these panels; if so, where can we find the siff files? I was looking for AM panels for the TBM 930, has anyone made them?

[@braneden]

I love your newest panel, for the life of me I can't get a panel to save. May I ask do you repeatedly have to go through the startup menu choosing language and such every time you start airmanger? Because I do have to. If I make a blank panel or create a panel picking and sizing instruments in the panel tab or create tab after I've sized my instruments name it etc, clone it to airmanger, export it, import it doesn't matter There's nothing there but the title after restarting and sometimes not even that. I hate to give up because each time I create a panel setup, I love it. And would love to get some client computers going with some more monitors, and different panels running. I asked airmanger, and they act like the panel should be there, they don't understand what I'm saying because as it appears noone else is having the issue with the panels not being there when you go back to airmanger...do I need airplayer installed to run these panels once created?, as I don't have it currently. Where's the save button as I haven't found 🤣

[@ChasCo24]

Do you plan to release your longitude instruments for air manager?

[@ExperimentalSimAvionics]

Yes. Sometime after AM4.2 releases.

[@brlowe1]

Another great panel as always. Wish I had your skills at making panels or if I could just pay you to buy your panels. There are a couple I would really want.

[@ExperimentalSimAvionics]

They are beginning to become available starting very soon with the first one. A little more patience and hopefully everyone can enjoy these too. Out of interest which ones are your favourites?

[@brlowe1]

@@ExperimentalSimAvionics really want the DA62. I also like this Longitude panel. Now I’m going to have to go back and look at others. Going to need some 22” or 24” panels next

[@DownTheRabbit-Hole]

@@brlowe1 I use ASUS 21.5 Touchscreen, $200 and 3 wide 32" LG Nano ips. Getting 1 more ASUS as soon as this release. Note, make sure you have room beneath main monitors for Touchscreens, Yoke etc. Desk, Chair. 24" is starting to get pretty cramped. Cut out Black pieces of foamboard in the same form factor as all your monitors. See how it works. good luck

[@DownTheRabbit-Hole]

I fly the Aerobask DA62 a lot in XP. That version has a keypad on the center armrest. The Asobo version of DA62 is ok, but it does not have keypad for G1000. Keypads make G1000 bearable.There is already a DA62 AM panel made by siminsrumentation for free that works with MFS.

[@micropigment4264]

Sir, you're posting videos showcasing Air Manager with instruments no one has access to but yourself. So if I go buy that software now I won't get those panels. Those panels are made by you and not available to anyone else so this is very misleading. Either make them available to the public or don't make people think they can have them if they get the software!

[@ExperimentalSimAvionics]

First of all I am working towards trying to make them available but I have not once ever said you can download these from within the Air Manager software so not sure how or why you are confused. I started out making for myself and to show others what can be achieved as a source of inspiration. I will continue to showcase my work. If this frustrates then you there you have a choice to not watch. If and when the moment arises that these are available for others I will say so.

[@micropigment4264]

@@ExperimentalSimAvionics Then make it clear in your videos that we, the users, can't have those instruments without extensive programming experience. At the least be clear about this by making a statement clarifying the situation, not by implying all over your videos that those instruments can be obtained if we have Air Manager and coming here to say you never said they could be obtained; that's vague and a bit misleading don't you think?

[@ExperimentalSimAvionics]

Not at all. Everything that you watch on KZbin is not automatically available. If creators have stuff to give away or sell they normally make a big deal out of letting the viewer know where It can be obtained. I do nothing of the sort so I’m confused as to why you would automatically come to this conclusion. If and when they are available I’ll say so and point to where to go.

[@MissedApproach]

@@ExperimentalSimAvionics Don't mind the ignorant comments. We in the flight sim/AM community truly appreciate the hard work and effort you put into creating these panels. I for one cannot wait for these to be available.

[@TheGbelcher]

@@ExperimentalSimAvionics Tony, are you affiliated with Sim Innovations?

[@BostonClipper]

You mentioned the "MSFS Pop Out Panel Manager" as an essential tool. I agree, thank you for making me aware of this great tool. I have not been able to get the "Disable Game Refocus" to work. yet. FIXED- Found forum post by RoastGnu suggesting adding time. I added 1000 milliseconds, works great now.

[@DownTheRabbit-Hole]

As of AAU1 release, the mouse focus issue still persists with AM. I tried the 1000ms in popout mgr to no effect. RW pilot here and I use AM to get rid of mouse and keyboard. Hope they fix it soon. Love AM. No offense.

[@BostonClipper]

@@DownTheRabbit-Hole Now my Knobster is flaky. Ug.

[@DownTheRabbit-Hole]

Mouse refocus fixed in popout mgr 4. Finally! Probably a MS issue anyways.

[@DownTheRabbit-Hole]

Been using knobster for several years now. Never had one problem. Make sure USB is powered properly. Simmers have lots of usb controllers. Make sure you hide/show or recycle panels when make changes. Sometimes even reboot AM.
