February 18, 201115 yr Hey guys. I just purchased the Reality Xp GNS 430 Waas and the WXP 500 weather radar and would like to know how to install them into my virtual cockpit on the carenado mooney. I have no idea what I am doing so if someone can help me and get me on track it would be appreciated.. Skycaptain93
February 18, 201115 yr Hey guys. I just purchased the Reality Xp GNS 430 Waas and the WXP 500 weather radar and would like to know how to install them into my virtual cockpit on the carenado mooney. I have no idea what I am doing so if someone can help me and get me on track it would be appreciated..You are in luck, in that the Mooney has a very configurable VC...The task is just like in a RW aircraft: decide which radios to pull outof the panel and which new radios to install in their place.Here is a start:In the panel.cfg file (back up first!)//--------------------------------------------------------[Vcockpit02]...gauge00=RadioMoney!RadioAudio, 0,0,256,49gauge01=RadioMoney!RadioCom1Nav1, 0,61,256,81//gauge02=RadioMoney!RadioCom2Nav2, 0,143,256,110gauge02=RXPGNS!gns430, 0,143,256,110gauge03=RadioMoney!RadioAdf, 0,254,256,64gauge04=RadioMoney!RadioTrans, 256,115,256,63gauge05=RadioMoney!RadioDME, 256,179,256,57//gauge06=Money20F2!EngineL, 0,374,448,67//gauge07=Money20F2!EngineR, 0,445,448,67gauge06=Money20F2!EngineL, 0,374,450,67gauge07=Money20F2!EngineR, 0,445,450,67...//--------------------------------------------------------[Vcockpit03]...//gauge00=FsGpsCarenado!GPS_500, 0,0,256,215gauge00=rxpwx500!rdr, 0,0,280,202Also search for other instances of the GPS_500 and add two slashes (commenting out the line)Lastly, use the rxp configurator and "add the 430" to the Mooney which will give you a popup panel.Any problems, send me a PM..Attached a screenshot (my radar is non-functional - yours should be better)ps. not sure why I slightly modified the Engine gauges, but visually they fit better this way Bert

Booted up the plane and now I am getting this.ok heres the picWell, that is progress.. does the 430 turn on?Do you have the GARMIN TRAINER installed and does it work?Lastly, the radar looks peculiar... can you read the documentationand see if the gauge name is correct? It also looks cut off on the right..Try: gauge00=rxpWX500!RDR, 0,0,256,202Also, try running the WX500 configurator for the Mooney. It shouldadd the WX500 in a window and you can look for the name there..I notice that the 430 is a bit of a tight fit also...Try: gauge02=RXPGNS!gns430, 2,146,252,107(Upper / lower case does not matter in gauge names..)
