Default GPS in Cessna C172SP panel

[Guest]

Getting there! AP added. Once again, it doesn't look perfect but well... I also managed to get the complete GPS in it (bottomw was missing a bit) and with some more fooling around, I think I can get it quite good after all.But er... now I am going to test if this all actually WORKS... :(Well, after tyding this up a bit, copying the AP info from the 172 aircraft.cfg into the 182's cfg and adding the NAV-GPS switch (which will make sim-reality-die-hards vomit, I am sure :( : can you spot it...? ) I got it all working! Don't know if this is going to be my default 182, but it's nice to have it for the days I want everything the easy way!EDIT:I am liking it! The C182RG is nice already (great sounds!!!) but this addition to the VC makes it even nicer. What I like is that I can do everything from within the VC! A few weeks ago I bought another plane specially for that, but unfortunately it won't run on my system without freezing up. Now I am thinking about getting the Reality XP 530 for the C182RG: I presume that if I can get the default GPS500 into the panel, the RXP 530 won't be a problem, right...? I think the color also is a bit more fitting. ;) I suppose the Bendix AP works well with the RXP 530...? But will the default 182 gauges enable me to fly a WAAS approach...? And does it lower fps btw...? (O boy, way too many questionmarks here...! :( )

Yes, the RXP530 works, and will work with the default AP. It also has the ability of becoming your COM/NAV1 radio, thus you can (may be able to) utilize the default COM/NAV2 radio into the panel, which right now it looks like you are missing.Not sure if the default NAV1 gauge works with the WAAS function, as I have now swapped all mine out for RXP units.Frame rates are not an issue.

I remember reading somewhere (a long time ago) how to build the default GPS into the Cessna panel, replacing the second radio, adf and some more maybe. It required some editing of the cfg files. I'd like to have it that way so I don't need to open a subwindow with the GPS. (I don't like the Cessna with the G1000, so that's no option ;) ). Anyone knows where I can find some ready to copy and paste info?

I just tried it and the knobs from the second radio, adf and dme are still visible making it impractical to use the GPS in the VC.Besides it's much harder to read anyway. But it's ok in the 2d panel.Here is the panel.cfg code if you wish to try it out.
