November 5, 201213 yr Hi: Was just trying to see if the reality XP gns430 waas xp can be installed into the v35b virtual cockpit just using the supplied reality xp config. editor? Has anyone done this, and if so have any problems been encountered? Just checking before purchasing the gns430... Thanks... Al
November 24, 201213 yr Hi Al, Has anyone done this, and if so have any problems been encountered? I know there were some posts about putting it into the F33 and I think there are a few who've done it for the V35, but I can't offer any direct advice, because... In order to put it in the panel, the first thing you have to do is disable 3D knobs and I just don't like that tradeoff. What I do in the V35 is use the RXP gauge as a popup only. It's a tradeoff and I wish I could have a full 3D integrated setup as I do in all of my other planes that use the 430 and/or 530, but it works reasonable well. Scott
November 25, 201213 yr I have it. Like Scott says, one should turn the 3D knobs off then. But it works and looks a bit flat, yes. can be installed into the v35b virtual cockpit just using the supplied reality xp config. editor? The RXP tool only adds a 2D popup and creates the RXPGNX.INI. For a VC integration, you have to work manually. Lets see. Looks like this. [Vcockpit04] Background_color=0,0,0 size_mm=512,512 visible=0 pixel_size=1024,1024 texture=$Panel_bon_4 gauge00=rxpGNS!GNS430, 6,125,480,266 gauge01=BVT5!vs, 262,394,236,106 gauge02=BVT5!DME_screen, 3,396,256,100 gauge03=BVT5!Panel_annuanciator, 266,37,243,90 //gauge04=BVT5!Toggle_GPS, 116,160,275,169 gauge05=BVT5!Auto_taxi_onoff, 0,0,30,24 See the gauge00 line? That's where the Carendo GPS was and got replaced by the RXP gauge. This simple replacement works quite often on Carenado planes. And you will always find folks which already performed that step. So you can always ask. Unfortunately, this also means that 3D knobs do interfere more or less, hence the need to turn them off. Later models feature an extra 3D model for the RXP gauges and a tool to automate the switching.

Do you need to similarly edit the reference to the carenado gps in [window 1] [Window01] Background_color=0,0,0 size_mm=500,266 window_size_ratio=1.000 position=0 visible=0 ident=794 window_size= 0.250, 0.177 window_pos= 0.010, 0.805 zorder=0 gauge00=BVT5!Toggle_GPS, 35,69,329,246 gauge01=CarenadoG430!GNS430_nc1, 0,0,500,266 gauge02=BVT5!Toggle_GPS, 127,45,242,153 Thanks!
