Wrong bezel on GTN750Xi?

whatboiii

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.

Agree.. this could be improved..

Soo like MSFS 2024 just came out and I know thing have to be updated but can this simple art bug be fixed. Please, it's been several months since this product has come out. Such an odd oversight from the devs.

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!

Thanks for your reply. Very nice to hear you are already working on this, I wasn't aware of that. Much appreciated!

Thanks for the insight. Mostly why I waited months just because I knew things take time, but I mentioned it again because I figured maybe someone forgot. Again, thanks for the insight and thanks for the amazing work you do for us. Cheers!

Hi All,

I always try to remember the posts where I made long term promises. I just wanted to let you know that I made good on my word, and added the GTNxi bezels to the Duke and TBM today. I've already added them to the Velocity, and all my future aircraft in development, but I don't plan on adding them to the Steam Gauge Overhaul aircraft, as I'm looking forward to replacing those aircraft with the "Professional" series. I hope you enjoy! Thanks for the suggestions, as always. Your feedback is how I prioritize and know what new features to work on next.

Great news, thank you! Looking forward to the professional series and all other stuff you may have planned.

Thank you, that is great! Personally, I would still like you to update the A36 as well, since I fly it a lot..
One more request for the A36 (present or future): Adjust the dimensions of the ADI and HSI to the correct ratios.
Sorry for being picky, but I notice it every time..
