Hello, i do not post post very often but i have to say i bought both of the products to trainded myself for real navigation purpose and so far i am a bit disaippointed. i am facing troubles to fully configure both products:-1 I wonder if I can get flight plan information from the Rxp gns430 to the cirrus MFD.-2 when Rxp gns430 is on I can not set the gps1 on the PFD-3 I do not know if it is because of Rxp but the nearest datas on the MFD are not displayed (only those beyond a certain distance). I hope I was clearthanks for answers

Eaglesoft Cirrus Avidyne Systems are built to FS SDK and support default FS Flight Plan format [.PLN] files.In every case where this format is followed the Eaglesoft Avidynes display flight plans, approaches, etc.That vendors GPS System only partially complies with FS SDK Flight Plan Format [.PLN] files structure.For this reason, Eaglesoft cannot and does not support third party avionics integration into our products. :(

hello again,can we imagine some day that one of the company developp the format wich suit the other software?

You can request RealityXP to comply with the FS SDK, which is what Eaglesoft does.

I looked briefy at this Cirrus model Cirrus SR22G2/G3 Turbo for FS2004 or FSX. The Avidyne navigation display functions similar to an airliner ND. The product description states:"Exclusive! Avidyne Entegra Avionics and Eaglesoft GNS 430s"for this and other SR models. I don't know if both would be in the same panel configuration. Here's the screen shot link:http://www.eaglesoftdg.com/CSR22G3Tss.htmI would assume that the position data displayed on the ND is derived from a GPS receiver module plus raw data when appropriate. It should do nicely.The only questions I have is if the Avidyne ND can support terrain mapping and perhaps predictive terrain collision' and is any data extracted from installed FS scenery? It's on my wish list for small advanced GA aircraft.FYI the real world aircraft site is http://www.cirrusaircraft.com/ .

Ron, we'll try to help users understand each of your points.1. Eaglesoft Cirrus/Avidyne Products follow the exact product description regarding Eaglesoft Dual GNS 430s. 2. You are correct. Eaglesoft Dual GNS 430s rely on FS Database and indeed "do nicely".3. Eaglesoft Avidyne does not support Terrain Underlay or Terrain Collision Warnings at this pricepoint.

The user request was made to RXP long ago. At that time the request was refused. :(

hello, I sent a message to eaglsoft on how eaglesoft SR22 and realityxp gns430 could work together on FS9 platform. The day after i was answered by the eaglesoft custumer service they had never been contacted by eaglesoft.

Well, based on what you actually wrote... why would Eaglesoft contact Eaglesoft? :(However, what I think you mean is that you wrote to RealityXP, and they claim Eaglesoft never contacted them.I don't think that's an accurate statement on their part. :(

I for one like the Eaglesoft Cirrus. I wish they'd bite the bullet and incorporate the other features in the Avidyne system such as AWOS and a full terrain map with database...but...I suppose that comes down to costing the thing...price point to you Ron :)Just a note...since I found out that the RealityXP stuff doesn't support importing flight plans made for FS9, I stopped using their GPS products. While it is nice to have a real world GPS, (with all of its real-world-pain-in-the-butt data input procedures), I would rather use a flight planning tool and get into the air faster. Its just simply more fun that way. At least to me.Wish that RealityXP would have put that little wrinkle about importing of FS9 flight plans into their product advertising, (and in bold letters), when I was buying one. I had to find out after while using it. Seems like an important bit of information was minimalized...now that's real salesmanship.Mark

No, it comes down in the end to achieving the possible; FS9 simply does not provide us with the ability to recreate AWOS or full terrain map with database......at any price point!In the for-what-its-worth department, Avidyne opened up their server to me to download all of their source files and databases. After over six months of struggle, I finally came to the conclusion that trying to get the real-world functions incorporated just wasn't going to work in FS9... :( It made a complete :( out of me... :(

Those who remember the early days and the controversy about RXP vs FS SDK methods remember well the many communications that took place..No need to rehash here..just saying there have been many communications. The net result is Eaglesoft sticks to FS SDK and RXP does things in a different way. :(

The terrain database comes from a non-FS SRTM data source, the same supplied to FS Genesis, Pilot's FS Global series, etc. While these vendors do make some interpretation and interpolation to fill some blank areas and extend the N and S lattitudes, it can be done data outside of the FS mesh bgls. While it may not match exactly (choose the higher LOD base for safety) the low rez FS mesh, it should be good enough for sim purposes. Maybe an agreement with one of those experts might help.If you need a sleeping aid you can read this:http://fly.blakecrosby.com/blog/files/9F875508d01.pdfNow FS Genesis has done the buffer bit and perhaps can furnish massaged intermediate data that can be used for your gauge even without the predictive terrain collision feature.Regarding AWOS reporting when used with a complementary add-on weather application needed data can be retrieved from the FS weather engine. The trick is how the options are applied in the add-on. Active Sky Advanced has yielded some problems. ASX and AS 6.5 have been better. I think data is read (at least in FS9) from FS by FSUIPC as used in the product below.It is just a question of no feature or accepting what is good enough as determined by the market. PMDG is finding that out in that their latest product release JS41 has allowed panel design for a user to optionally use the Reality-XP WX500 in spite of its limitations.Just food for thought (or indigestion).

Good information Ron but as you said it can all be a snoozer.Think sim load and costs. That will wake you right up.No way to accomplish it in a cost effective manner within the sim. At least not for us at these pricepoints. :(
