Note for v4.0.3+:

If you're having trouble with touch not registering correctly in pop out panel when using software such as Spacedesk as remote monitor, you can increase "Touch Down Touch Up Delay" in Pop Out Panel Manager preferences => Touch settings to a value above 40ms or higher to compensate for network latency depending on your computer/network speed.

Pop Out Panels in MSFS

MSFS Pop Out Panel Manager is an application for MSFS 2020 which helps pop out, save and position pop out panels to be used by utilities such as Sim Innovations Air Manager or to place pop out panels onto your screen or another monitor at predetermined locations automatically. In MSFS, by holding RIGHT ALT + LEFT CLICKING some instrumentation panels, these panels will pop out as floating windows that can be moved to a different screen location or different monitor. But this needs to be done every time you start a new flight. In MSFS since SU12, there is the capability to remember size and position of pop outs but this feature is sometimes unreliable and you still need to manually pop these panels out. MSFS Pop Out Panel Manager solves this problem by enabling automatic pop out of panels when flight starts and can be configured per aircraft.

Touch Enabled Panel

Currently, MSFS lacks touch capability for pop out panels which are being used on touch screen or on tablet. If you're using pop out panel such as GTN750, KingAir PFD/MFD, or other in game touch screen capable panel (panels that can be operated with a mouse), or built-in panels such as ATC, checklist, you can add touch capability to these panels.

Application Features

Display resolution independent. Supports 1080p/1440p/4k display and ultrawide displays.
Support multiple user defined aircraft profiles to save panel locations to be recalled later.
Intuitive user interface to defined location of panels to be popped out.
Added automatic game refocus capability when using pop out. (MSFS bug where flight control is disabled when mouse is on the pop out)
Enable touch support for pop outs on touch capable display (direct connected monitor or on tablet using tool such as SpaceDesk).
Auto Pop Out feature. The application will detect active aircraft and activate the corresponding profile when starting a new flight session.
Cold Start feature. Instrumentation panels can be popped out even when they're not powered on (for G1000 / G1000 NXi planes only).
Auto Panning feature remembers the cockpit camera angle when you first define the pop out panels. You can now pan, zoom in, and zoom out to identify offscreen panels and the camera angle will be saved and reused. This feature requires the use of Ctrl-Alt-0 keyboard binding to save custom camera view per plane configuration. (Can be configured to use 0 through 9). If the keyboard binding is currently being used. The auto-panning feature will overwrite the saved camera view if enabled.
Fine-grain control in positioning of panels down to pixel level.
Panels can be configured to appear always on top, with title bar hidden, or stretch to full screen mode.
Auto disable Track IR when pop out starts.
Auto activate Active Pause when pop out starts.
User-friendly features such as application always on top, auto start, minimized to tray with keyboard shortcuts.
Auto update feature. Application can auto-update itself when new version becomes available.
Experimental: A simple HUD Bar with stop watch and sim rate functions for generic aircraft or PMDG 737 aircraft.

Najnowsze zmiany for 4.0.3

* Fixed rogue CPU issue when using touch feature in pop out panel which may cause computer to hang.

* Added a new turbo mode to improve execution speed during pop out process. Turbo mode can be turned on in preferences => general settings.

* Added support for PMDG 737 EFB.

* Added please wait message when editing panel source to resolve the confusion that Pop Out Panel Manager seems to hang when trying to select panel source during creation of a new aircraft profile.

* Improved touch reliability when touch feature on pop out panel.

* Removed pop out failure error message when after pop out predefined camera view has not been setup for an aircraft.

* Update text color for pop out progress dialog.

Known Issue:

* For A2A Comanche PA-24-250, pop out step "Resetting camera view" does not work since this aircraft does not seem to implement SimConnect variable CAMERA_VIEW_TYPE_AND_INDEX:1 which Pop Out Panel Manager uses to reset camera view.

hello, please, would it be possible to add somewhere in the settings the option to leave the window in its original state, as when I activate it manually, because another add-on "MCDU Remote" for Fenix cannot scan windows launched via the pop up manager, thank you

Love this application!

I do have one issue where I try to popout the PFD and the dot is located right on the PFD (737 / A320 ) but instead the EFB pops out? any pointers for me?

Thank you for your continued great work on this project. It has become a cornerstone of MSFS for me and many others - adds back a little bit of magic getting ready to fly!

I love this program. It works exactly as advertised, but I am having one small issue which I would like to correct. I am currently using a RealSimGear GNS 530 unit, and the program has moved the virtual window into my GNS 530 unit as programmed. The problem is that the window does not expand to cover all the screen real estate on the GNS 530. So, I end up with a useable, if somewhat squashed picture on my GNS 530 unit. I have the "expand Window" option selected (and it does work, to a point). I have tried changing the resolution on the GNS 530 unit's screen, but that doesn't seem to make a difference. Any ideas you may have to resolve this small (but nagging) problem will be greatly appreciated.

Stanley,

You have an exceptional piece of software here. Makes pushing out my Longitude screens so much easier. I just donated $20.00 via PayPal for ya. Could not be happier with this product. Keep up the good work, we all really appreciate it.

Absolutely awesome addon! Using it with my A2A Comanche 250 internal tablet together with SpaceDesk to display the "software" tablet on my hardware iPad. Is working outstanding! Thank you very much for that piece of software.

Hi,
I'm using an Android tablet and Spacedesk over WiFi to pop out screens.

It all works perfectly except the touch function. Often it does not respond at all, but sometimes, after pressing a button a number of times, that button changes color (both on the tablet and in the sim) but the corresponding function is not performed.

The hand is green and I experimented with the 5, 10,15.... second delay. The touch function is also checked in Spacedesk.

Is this a more common problem or am I missing something?

Thank you in advance

FeGo

Fantastic addition. I love the ability to add touch screen support to panels.

I must be doing something wrong as no panels seem to appear even after It says all popped out, tried Fenix A320 as my Alt gr wont pop windows now for some reason.

cplnobbie

This addon is giving met the shivers. Finally I can make good use of old and broken tablets via spacedesk and wifi. It totally transforms flying experience. It is a must have for everyone flying glass cockpit aircraft. Asobo will probably take 10 more years to figure out that they absolutely need to have some sort of popup manager in their sim.

Was looking forward to this app but it keeps Failing after it goes through the routine after pressing Start.
And the error message goes away so quickly that I cannot even get a screenshot of the message.

The MSFS default Right ALT + Left Click works , but this unfortunately is not working.

Hello, everything is working perfectly, but I'm facing an issue with the GTN 850 of the TMB930 shared on a tablet using Space Desk. I have to tap the icon twice to initiate the action. For example, for the squawk, I have to tap each digit twice for it to register.

would you have a solution?

What's wrong?
Unable to pop out this panel. Please check the source panel circle defined for this panel is at the correct location end not blocked by other window. Also please check if this panel is a duplicate with another panel. Lastly, please close all instrumentation pop outs that were opened manually

PilotOnAir2020

What's wrong?

Errant additional panels popped out. I’m the PMDG 737 I now get their efb popped out even though it isn’t selected or being clicked on. This seems to be an MSFS problem? As it also happens when doing it manually. Anyone else experience this?

Hi Stanley
I'm using your excellent program since quite a while and it works perfectly. I just would like to know, why it takes such a remarkable time to load the 8 displays of my B737-800. Is this due to a low data rate out of the MSFS/PMDG programs? Any chance to get this important job done faster? Thanks for any infos about and best regards

You can try the latest v4.0.3 beta which added a turbo mode setting in POPM preference settings to speed up the pop out process. https://github.com/hawkeye-stan/msfs-popout-panel-manager/releases/tag/v4.0.3-beta

hmmm... that's weird. If the color circle is on the PFD during pop out process, POPM should not be able to pop out EFB. Would you please try creating a test profile with just PFD define? Does it still pop out the EFB instead of PFD? If so, you may have encountered a rare MSFS bug where the panel you try to pop out is not the one you want.

Hello. First of all, thank you for this great program.
I use MSFS pop out panel manager on a single monitor.
I have different established windows (PFD, Engines, GPS 530) that I only really use at certain moments of flight and having them all open they take up a large part of the screen.
I know I can minimize them but would there be a way to make them disappear completely from the screen and appear again using a button on the keyboard or joystick or for example by double clicking on them to hide them and double clicking again in the area of the screen. copkit where are they so they appear again?

I don't think there is a way to hide/minimize pop outs and make them reappear using keyboard, mouse, or joystick button.

Hi,

I am having problems with this app. I start Pop Out Manager and it goes through the process of trying to pop the panels out, but it fails. It then doesn't give me any option to try and reset the pop out of the panels so currently cant use it. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

I set up my popup and everything seems to work the first time. However subsequently I get a lot of popup windows failing to pop. I even deleted the profile for the plane and redid it all again. First time works but subsequent attempts many windows would fail to pup.
Please help.
