July 4, 201213 yr Hey Guys, I have the Reality XP 530 and 430 and used this panel.cfg. I can't seem to get anything to work. Nothing powers up and if use shift + 2 to bring up the pop up then the 2 units are transparent in the middle.. any help would be appreciated. Dave
July 4, 201213 yr Do you have an rxpgns.ini file in the B55 folder? Edit: In thinking about this a bit more, if you're getting transparent displays it probably means that the underlying Garmin trainer app is not getting fired up. Lots of things that could be going wrong there, but a bit out of my knowledge range as to good troubleshooting. You might try over on RealityXP support forums: http://www.simforums.com/forums/reality-xp-unofficial-forum_forum12.html . If you're seeing this, I bet you'll have the same problem on other aircraft. Scott
July 4, 201213 yr Nice panel mod, Scott, and I'm now using yours...works great, thanks. Dave, using the RealityXP config app, make sure that the proper path to the Garmin trainer to entered correctly into the RXPGNS.INI file that's created by that app. This .ini file should be in your Baron's Panel folder, and the RXP GNS units use it to find and run the trainer, which provdes the functionality of the units themselves. The trainer should have been installed when you installed the RealityXP units themselves. Wayne KlocknerUnited Virtual
July 4, 201213 yr Commercial Member Just as an FYI, the base code for the integration was and is Chuck's so best thank him as well!

July 4, 201213 yr Just as an FYI, the base code for the integration was and is Chuck's so best thank him as well! The fact that integration completely works now is, of course, all due to you guys and I know we all appreciate it. So, my thanks specifically to Chuck. Like others, I wasn't sure what had and hadn't been done in the SP and some experimentation and modification was necessary to get it all to work for me. Not trying to take credit from anyone here, just share what I found actually worked for me in order to help out. Scott
July 4, 201213 yr Moderator Okay, I'm going to chime in here to explain the somewhat unusual number of [VCockpitnn] entries... ======================== 1. [VCockpit01] ....[VCockpit02] The entries in these two sections use the default 3d mesh and will display the included B55 avionics gauges. ======================== 2. [VCockpit03] ....[VCockpit04] The entries in these two sections are only used for RXP alternate gauges, and will display the special 3d mesh that will align the knobs correctly for the RXP 530 and/or 430. Simply commenting out the 530 and/or 430 gauge entries in the two sections of #1 above will automatically cause these alternate 3d meshes for #2 to appear, and display the RXP units correctly. ======================== 3. [VCockpit05] ....[VCockpit06] The entries in these two sections are only used for the "Free Radio" flat panel that will be seen using the switch on the lower part of the copilot's side of the main panel. You could actually put anything you want here that will fit, even a completely different set of avionics! You need not concern yourself with these two sections at all, unless you just want to experiment. They will never be loaded or seen unless you "flip the switch..." Fr.

July 4, 201213 yr Wayne's config didn't properly drive the HSI for me - a problem I had with some of the example panel.cfg files before the SP as well. The order of 430 and 530 matters. Here's my panel.cfg with 530 and 430 and popups enabled. You may want to reposition the popup positions to taste, but this seem to be working well. Note, you must have an rxpgns.ini with idents that match for the popups to work. Usual disclaimers apply about backups, risk etc. Hope this helps, Scott Hi Scott What specifically makes the HSI work? Is it just the order? 530 first or 430? Cheers
July 6, 201213 yr What specifically makes the HSI work? Is it just the order? Seems to be. It's "Window01", the popup that gives you the whole avionics stack, that matters. Put the 430 as gauge00 in the popup, and the 530 as gauge02 (basically a straight replacement for the default 530 and 430 in the stock panel.cfg) and the HSI won't work. Reverse these and make the 530 gauge00 and the 430 gauge02 and it works fine. Scott
July 13, 201213 yr We have included an RXP_panel.cfg file specifically for the RXP integration, as well as a 3d panel specifically for RXP so that the knobs will line up and function properly. Hi Bill, I've been having a bit of a thread over at the Reality-XP forums about my issue geting the units to work properly other than using my own simple replacement method using FSPanel Studio If you can be bothered, the thread is here: http://www.simforums...496.html#249496 I am using the follwing config, kindly supplied by Jim Hodgkinson. It doesn't work as detailed in the last post in that thread. You can read that my simple replacement method shows the units but not all the click spots and buttons work, as you describe in your post above: // This Panel.cfg file created by FS Panel Studio panel editor utility - http://www.fspanelstudio.com // Built Thursday, July 12, 2012 at 12:43 FSPS Build:22767 [Window Titles] Window00=B55 Preflight Window01=GPS Window02=Reality XP GNS 430 WAAS - RXP_CONFIG_TOOL - DO NOT CHANGE Window03=Reality XP GNS 530 WAAS - RXP_CONFIG_TOOL - DO NOT CHANGE Window04=Reality XP DropStack [VIEWS] VIEW_FORWARD_WINDOWS=MAIN_PANEL,THROTTLE_PANEL,GPS_PANEL VIEW_FORWARD_DIR=10.000, 0.000, 0.000 //-------------------------------------------------------- [Window00] Background_color=0,0,0 size_mm=500,243 window_size_ratio=1.000 position=0 visible=0 ident=70 window_size= 0.400, 0.324 window_pos= 0.000, 0.040 gauge00=B55_XMLGauges!B55_Preflight, 0,0,500,243 //-------------------------------------------------------- [Window01] Background_color=255,255,255 size_mm=1280,650 window_size_ratio=1.000 position=2 visible=0 ident=GPS_PANEL window_size= 0.710, 0.552 window_pos= 0.290, 0.480 gauge00=B55_XMLGauges!FBS_KR 87 ADF, 640,268,640,134 gauge01=B55_XMLGauges!FBS_KAP140, 640,402,640,163 gauge02=B55_XMLGauges!FBS_GTX330, 0,468,640,170 gauge03=rxpGNS!GNS530, 0,0,640,468 gauge04=rxpGNS!GNS430, 640,0,640,268 //-------------------------------------------------------- [Window02] Background_color=0,0,0 size_mm=156,105 position=7 visible=1 ident=15431 window_size= 0.313, 0.210 window_pos= 0.687, 0.527 zorder=99 gauge00=rxpGNS!GNS430, 0,0,100,100 //-------------------------------------------------------- [Window03] Background_color=0,0,0 size_mm=244,250 position=7 visible=1 ident=15531 window_size= 0.488, 0.500 window_pos= 0.510, 0.000 zorder=99 gauge00=rxpGNS!GNS530, 0,0,100,100 //-------------------------------------------------------- [Window04] Background_color=0,0,0 size_mm=25,15 position=0 visible=1 ident=15000 window_size= 0.050, 0.030 window_pos= 0.000, 0.000 zorder=100 gauge00=rxpDrop!Stack, 0,0,100,100 //-------------------------------------------------------- [Vcockpit01] file=C310_VC_01.bmp size_mm=1024,1024 visible=0 pixel_size=1024,1024 texture=$C310_VC_01 gauge00=MilVizC310!MilVizC310_XMLSound, 657,4,17,16 gauge01=B55_XMLGauges!FBS_KAP140, 0,767,640,163 gauge02=B55_XMLGauges!FBS_KR 87 ADF, 0,630,640,134 gauge03=B55_XMLGauges!C310_DME, 649,32,300,150 gauge04=B55_XMLGauges!B55_Preflight, 0,0,1,1 //-------------------------------------------------------- [Vcockpit02] file=C310_VC_02.bmp size_mm=512,512 visible=0 pixel_size=1024,1024 texture=$C310_VC_02 gauge00=B55_XMLGauges!FBS_GTX330, 0,376,512,136 //-------------------------------------------------------- [Vcockpit03] Background_color=0,0,0 size_mm=1024,1024 visible=0 pixel_size=1024,1024 texture=$C310_VC_03 gauge00=rxpGNS!GNS430, 0,1,1024,433 gauge01=GPS_POP_UP!GPS_POP_UP, 298,120,432,204 //-------------------------------------------------------- [Vcockpit04] Background_color=0,0,0 size_mm=512,512 visible=0 pixel_size=1024,1024 texture=$C310_VC_04 gauge00=rxpGNS!GNS530, 0,8,512,384 gauge01=GPS_POP_UP!GPS_POP_UP, 110,55,291,213 //-------------------------------------------------------- [Vcockpit05] file=C310_VC_01_FR.bmp size_mm=1024,1024 visible=0 pixel_size=1024,1024 texture=$C310_VC_05 gauge00=MilVizC310!MilVizC310_XMLSound, 657,4,17,16 gauge01=rxpGNS!GNS430, 0,568,640,287 gauge02=rxpGNS!GNS530, 0,117,640,451 gauge03=rxpGNS!GMA340, 0,2,640,115 //-------------------------------------------------------- [Vcockpit06] file=C310_VC_02_FR.bmp size_mm=512,512 visible=0 pixel_size=1024,1024 texture=$C310_VC_06 gauge00=B55_XMLGauges!FBS_KAP140, 0,137,512,131 gauge01=B55_XMLGauges!FBS_KR 87 ADF, 0,268,512,106 gauge02=B55_XMLGauges!FBS_GTX330, 0,1,512,136 Day=255,255,255 Night=85,85,85 Luminous=140,140,140 [Default View] X=0 Y=0 SIZE_X=8191 SIZE_Y=3384 To summarise my issues, if I use the above config I can see and use the units fine in shift-2, 3 and 4 popups. I can only see the default unit 3d models with no labels and blank screens (the don't work at all) in the VC. Doesn't matter which way the switch is flipped. The units are just blank. There are a couple of photos on the simforums post to illustrate what I'm talking about. I love this plane, and am so glad you had the time and patience as a team to get the RXP integration sorted, and I'd really love to be able to use it properly I have the GNS WAAS unlimited pack so would like to be able to get them working together. Where are the files you speak of in your quote? They don't seem to be in the panel folder.. Many thanks, jake EDIT: I just looked in my aircraft.cfg file and it says:Milviz B55 v1.0 FDE I bought it from AVSIM..I have been told the download was updated, so I downloaded the updated file, which had the same name (V1U) but it looks like it is still version 1? thanks again JAKE EYREIt's a small step from the sublime to the ridiculous...Napoleon Bonaparte
July 13, 201213 yr In fact, I almost certainly don't have SP1 as I don't have/see an E55 anywhere! Let me check the download again...I downloaded it about five times already! JAKE EYREIt's a small step from the sublime to the ridiculous...Napoleon Bonaparte
July 13, 201213 yr EDIT - please ignore this post. I had pre SP-1. It all now works with Scotts config above. Sorry to be a bother JAKE EYREIt's a small step from the sublime to the ridiculous...Napoleon Bonaparte
