@whatboiii said in Wrong bezel on GTN750Xi?:
Hi all, love all the work you guys have poured into the plane. I've notice when swapping to the GTN750Xi, it's using the bezel from the GTN750 non Xi variant.
-Thanks, whatboiii.I noticed this too. Other aircraft (A2A Comanche, Flysimware C414AW) offer seperate bezels for GTN 750 and GTN 750Xi. Is this a consideration for updates or future aircraft?

This is something I carried over from my earliest aircraft that were in development before the TDS GTNxi was introduced into the market. In subsequent aircraft, it was theoretically to reduce the total amount of texture space, since the GTNxi ships with its own separate, high resolution textures. I have begun including the GTNxi bezels in my Professional Series replacements for the Steam Gauge Overhaul fleet, and they will eventually make it into all of my aircraft.
I believe I have mentioned this elsewhere on this forum, but it's always worth explaining the number of hours it takes to apply even a seemingly small change to a dozen aircraft models when I ask for the patience on the part of the community. Just adding new GTNxi bezel models, baking ambient occlusion, exporting assets, changing code, adding sounds, and testing the result is a few hours of work for one aircraft. Across my entire fleet, it's at least two full days of work. I hope you don't take this as an excuse, but merely a window into aircraft development as one-man team. I will always be thankful for the requests and recommendations, as that's the only way I know what to implement and how to prioritize. Thank you!
