April 11, 201214 yr Thank you for this but I have a question about the ini file what if it is in another aircraft what do I do with that?
April 11, 201214 yr Author Just copy an rxpgns.ini file over from another airplane and put it in the C90 folder. Here is the one I use: [GNS430] Popup=10010 AutoPilotMode=2 Radios=1 LinkCdiKey=On AutoApproach=Off LinkToVor=On AutoCourse=On LcdStyle=Off AutoWidth=600 AutoHeight=252 Trainer= NoKeyClick=Off GndSpdFromDeltaLatLon=Off Brightness=-1.0000 TCAD=On LinkGPS=On [GTX327] VFRCode=1200 [sETTINGS] Dimmer=Off SimpleMouse=Off Bert
April 11, 201214 yr Bert, you are THE MAN! Since this is a pop-up only solution will this work with the 530 as well? I don't own the 430. Or is there an issue with it "fitting" in the panel, even though it is only being used when popped up? Thanks! Eddie EddieKABQ

April 11, 201214 yr The RXP GNS 430 will fit in the panel in place of the Carenado GPS400 and work. Hello Bert -- another question for ya !!!! How do the different databases in the Avidyne (FS map nav data) resolve with the RXP GNS 430 (Jeppesen map nav data) ?? In my system, I have built many airports, etc based on the FS map data base. If I were to install the RXP 430, I am wondering what will happen. I know the two databases are not directly compatible. What say Bert ??? Many Thanks --- Bob --- :Big Grin: Bob Magill
April 11, 201214 yr Hi Bert, I tried to install RXP430 the way you described - it didn't work. 2 issues: 1) Although I could see RXP430 panel instead of default GPS I couldn't switch the GPS on. The on switch didn't work no matter what I did 2) I could not swap active and standby frequencies on either of the NAV radios or ADF Any advice will be appreciated. Regards, Mike Best regards, Mike
April 11, 201214 yr Mike, you are seeing the downsides of the current VC integration. Carenado may have to alter the 3D model to allow for full working buttons and switches. Switch the unit on when the 2D popup is visible, that's the only (mouse) solution so far. The radios work fine here. Maybe Bert has an idea what could be wrong.
April 11, 201214 yr Author Re 1) There is a small clickspot that works for power up. Just to the left of the power knob, but as mentioned above, a better way is to pop it up for start up. Re 2) The NAV radios works OK for me, but the clickspot for the ADF swap is tiny and hard to find. Right at the end of the little toggle switch, a hand becomes visible. The could be improved upon by Carenado. Hello Bert -- another question for ya !!!!

Many Thanks --- Bob --- :Big Grin: This will be just like any other airplane where you mix FS nav data with Garmin nav data.. Most of the time, it will be fine, some times things have changed between 2006 and 2011.. not working for me, any chance of upload you panel cfg? What is not working? Those are the changes I made.. do you see the 430 in the panel? Use the popup window shift-2 to power it up. Bert, you are THE MAN! Since this is a pop-up only solution will this work with the 530 as well? I don't own the 430. Or is there an issue with it "fitting" in the panel, even though it is only being used when popped up? Thanks! Eddie In that case, leave the 400 in the panel and pop up the 530 - that will work. Bert
April 12, 201214 yr "This will be just like any other airplane where you mix FS nav data with Garmin nav data.. Most of the time, it will be fine, some times things have changed between 2006 and 2011.." :::::::::::::::::: Hello Bert and thanks for the reply ----- I was referring to the SCALING differences between the two mapping systems. They are not the same. For instance I have seen a 30 miles error in some long distance travel....where my plane is spawned at an island airport, yet on the RXP unit, it is 30 miles out in the water while the plane is on the runway. The errors can be big. If this is something you are not familiar with, no problem. Just thought you might be. It would be interesting to see what you get if you use the Avidyne to place a plane at a place and then see where it shows its exact location on the RXP 430......I assume the Avidyne is using the FS map database because all works fine in the stock C90 where both units are predicated on the FS map base. Thanks for any observations --- Bob --- :Just Kidding: Bob Magill

April 12, 201214 yr For instance I have seen a 30 miles error in some long distance travel....where my plane is spawned at an island airport, yet on the RXP unit, it is 30 miles out in the water while the plane is on the runway. Just zoom out one click then zoom in again and it will move to the correct location, it's a bug that only appears sometimes when the RXP gauge first starts up, I think. Cheers, Andy.
April 12, 201214 yr Lets hope they have an option for the integration of the 530 in place of the Avidarn. ArDee
