AMX-1A Ghibli

[menef]

Pre-Dawn launch from Rimini AB enroute to NAS Sigonella. I landed at Decimomannu Air Base (LIED) to stretch my legs, get some coffee and check in with Ops. This screenshot was taken on final to Decimomannu.

Good morning all,

-Why can't I get the same gps display on the dashboard and on the window when I select a function?
Is there a solution?




Thank you for your help!

Im guessing the panel in your cockpit is a more accurate representation of how it looks in the real aircraft, and the pop up GPS panel is a more generic M$ panel, there probably isnt a "fix"

Hello Ian,

Thank you for your reply!
Too bad however!

Sorry, but I don't see a problem really. The pop up is showing the same terrain/map display as you see in the VC. All the function button (on the map) appear to be there. If you're asking why the bezel isn't showing as well. . .that's eye candy, and none of the buttons are functional. . .no reason to show that.

Hello Falcon409,

I don't understand your remark!
What I am asking is however simple !!
I do not have the same display on the 2 gps, as soon as I select a key on one, it does not affect the other window, voila, that's it!
Other GPS (carenado for example) work in concert, on the panel and on a separate window! (Shift + X)
It may be impossible in this case!
But maybe Ian's answer is suitable!
cordially.

Looks like the range is different between the 2 GPS. Changing the range setting on one does not affect the other.

Alain,

My answer was fine based on the information you offered. When you post an image and say simply that you can't get the same image on both. . .it doesn't explain what you're actually wanting to know which is "When I select a key on one it doesn't affect the other". . .also "other GPS's" don't always work as you expected this one to. The only time that works is if the VC GPS display has a "Pop Up" function attached to it. When you hover over a GPS and the "hand" icon is displayed then you can get a pop up of the VC GPS, and in that scenario, what you do on the pop up will affect the final display in the VC.

On the AMX, that is not the case. The Pop Up, when selected from the drop down menu is a separate function that does not affect the VC and is usually one that people will "undock" and move either to a separate monitor or leave in the main window, albeit reduced in size.

Hello Falcon409,

I did not express myself well on my first request !!
But now I have the answer!
No solution however!
Have a good day

When did you download this? I made that change and uploaded a new zip file to replace the original.

I love this jet! Beautiful to look at and fly and great additional liveries too. My only problem is with the Configuration Manager. I can'y get any stores to load. I can toggle the pilot on and off as well as the chocks but cannot load the stations. Am I missing something? Thanks again for a great upgrade.

Did you correctly install XMLTools (and is it the correct version for your sim - 32bit or 64bit) ? Read the PDF document that comes with the download for details.

I just installed it as I would any other aircraft (the correct version). Did I have to install something extra for XMLTools? I didn't see anything mentioned in the 'Read Me' files.

It is not in the readme file, you need to open AMX-1A conversion notes.pdf - page 1 (Installation FSX Acceleration or Installation P3Dv4).

Hi Priller

I´ve seen your nice shots of the"Ghibli" here on SOH. In particular the shot below shows a fine used/weathered "32-02" which I like to use on my FSX if possible. Do you know where I can download the texture files? I´ve searched on SOH, AVSIM and SIMVIATION without success...




Thank you for your response in advance.

RS

[Priller]

I think I got it on flightsim.com for the FS2004 version. I then converted the textures to dds format.

I'll have a look and will try to get you a link!

Hi Priller

yeah...downloaded...thank you for your quick help...(I thought it has been a shot of a new painting for FSX/P3D...)

Many greetings

Thanks to all the guys who have made it flying...

No, sadly no one has taken an interest in the AMX enough to produce any liveries.

Hi falcon409

Perhaps somebody will make repaints in the near future. In any case some good repaints for transforming to FSX Format are available today as shown ...

You must take in account that this bird is in use only in two countries (Italy and Brazil as far as I know)... That means possible, different layouts for paintings are limited by comparison with - for example - US Navy aircrafts with their infinite colorful variants...

However I´am happy to have one more nice bird in my collection...
