Hi All,

 

I had previously installed the first Reality XP 530 using Carenado's RXP530.exe file and it has worked fine in the right position along side Carendado's 530. I recently purchased the unlimited package so I could use two RXP 530s cross-filled and have Reality's TCAS.

 

I ran Reality XP's installer (GNS WAAS FSX config) for the Carenado B200 which created two files:

RXPSTACK.INI in the panel sub-directory,

RXPGNS.INI in the Carenado_B200_King_Air aircraft directory.

 

I then edited the B200 panel.cfg and replaced:

"B200KA!ToggleCAR530" with "rxpGNS!GNS530_2"

"GPS530_3D_B200!GPS_5302_3D" with "rxpGNS!GNS530_2"

 

When I start FSX and load the B200 the right RXP 530 continues to work fine, but the left one still shows the Carenado 530 face (no RXP logo) and will not power on (blank screen).

 

Any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong?

 

FYI: The two RXP 530s are working fine in the RealAir's Turbine Duke RealAir's installer.

 

Thanks,

Jim :-)

I then edited the B200 panel.cfg and replaced:

"B200KA!ToggleCAR530" with "rxpGNS!GNS530_2"

"GPS530_3D_B200!GPS_5302_3D" with "rxpGNS!GNS530_2"

 

When I start FSX and load the B200 the right RXP 530 continues to work fine, but the left one still shows the Carenado 530 face (no RXP logo) and will not power on (blank screen).

 

 

 

The first line is definitely not good... the toggle gauge is Carenado's version

of a popup.

 

First of all, make sure you have run RXP530.exe, that installs the left GNS530.

 

Then, you edit by hand (since Carenado does not support dual RXP units)

 

This is what works for me:

 

[Vcockpit01]

Background_color=0,0,0

size_mm=1024,1024

visible=0

pixel_size=1024,1024

texture=$Panel_1

 

gauge00=GAUGEB200!Radio_CTL32_DME, 720,738, 304,140

gauge01=GAUGEB200!Gauge_ALT_ALERT, 720,880, 303,143

gauge02=GAUGEB200!Radio_CTL92_ATC, 243, 514,236,252

gauge03=GAUGEB200!Radio_CTL62_ADF, 243, 768,236,252

gauge04=rxpGNS!GNS530, 0, 0, 512,372

gauge05=rxpGNS!GNS530_2, 512, 0, 510,372

gauge06=CarSoundB200!CarSound, 0,0,5,5

gauge07=B200!GPS_Twas, 0,0,1,1

Thanks for the reply Bert,

 

I corrected the errant line, and still nothing. I then first returned to the B200 with two Carenado 530s, that worked fine. I then ran Carenado's RXP530.exe install program and the left hand RXP 530 worked fine with the Carenando's 530 in the right position. I then edited the panel.cfg and changed only the "gauge05=GPS530_3D_B200!GPS_5302_3D" line to "gauge05=rxpGNS!GNS530_2" in the [Vcockpit01] section. Then, when I run the B200 in FSX, the left RXP 530 works, but the right 530 will not power up (blank screen)."

 

Any other suggestions.

 

Thanks,

Jim :-)

Kind of hard to troubleshoot from a distance, but try adding a popup window for the second 530 and

see if the GNS runs in the popup first - and then work from there..

 

Try:

 

//--------------------------------------------------------

[Window06]

window_size=0.297619,0.342857

position=8

visible=0

ident=15532

zorder=99

gauge00=rxpGNS!GNS530_2, 0,0,100,100

 

Also try replacing your rxpgns.ini file with:

 

[GNS530]

Popup=10000

AutoPilotMode=2

Radios=1

LinkCdiKey=On

AutoApproach=Off

AutoCourse=On

LinkVor=1

LcdStyle=off

AutoWidth=500

AutoHeight=570

Trainer=

NoKeyClick=Off

DisableRxTx=Off

AutoPowerOn=On

GndSpdFromDeltaLatLon=Off

Crossfill=On

LinkGPS=On

[GNS530_2]

AutoPilotMode=2

Radios=2

LinkCdiKey=Off

AutoApproach=Off

LinkVor=2

LcdStyle=Off

AutoWidth=500

AutoHeight=570

Trainer=

NoKeyClick=Off

DisableRxTx=Off

AutoPowerOn=On

GndSpdFromDeltaLatLon=Off

Popup=15532

Crossfill=On

[sETTINGS]

Dimmer=Off

SimpleMouse=Off

Keyonfocus=On

 

If still problems, send me a PM with your email address and

I can send you a zipped copy of the whole thing..

Hi Bert,

 

The problem was with the RXPGNS.INI file. When I replaced it with the version you supplied everything worked fine. I'm not sure how the one I had got messed up. As I said, the Reality XP installer created it. Anyway, I appreciate your help.

 

The Carenado B200 and the Reality XP 530s should be a great combination to fly.

 

Thanks,

Jim :-)

Happy to hear it - and you are welcome!

 

Hi Bert,

 

I know this is nitpicking, but as you can see in the picture below, that second GNS is still using the Carenado "face" but has the RXP "guts." This is most apparent by the lack of the XP logo on the upper right hand corner. What this means is that the power switch on the second GNS doesn't work and the selector knobs on the lower right hand corner work, but are awkward. I saw the same thing in a picture of your B200 panel with two RXP 530s you posted elsewhere in this forum. This is beyond my technical abilities. Do you have any ideas? Thanks, Jim :-)

 

Hi Jim,

 

They actually both use a Carenado face... but Carenado added the "XP" to the left unit. <_<

 

As stated before, Carenado only supports a single RXP installation, and I figure we are lucky

that the second unit fits as well as it does (glass half full..)

 

The power button click spot is just to the left of the button - look for the pink "hand"..

 

The popup click spots work better, if you turn off "Instrument Reflections" in the Options window.

Thanks Bert,

 

It doesn't seem to make any difference if the "Instrument Reflections" are on or off. All of the knobs, including the power on/off knob, work property in the pop-up window, but in the 3-D panel, the power knob doesn't work and the others knobs are all touchy. I can live with it since I'm usually setting the first unit most anyway, and I can always use the pop-up to set the second. Try setting the radio frequencies on the second unit in the 3-D panel and you'll notice the quirks.

 

I'm also have some problems with the radio frequencies bouncing back and forth. But that happens on both units and also happens in RealAir Turbine Duke as well, so it's not aircraft related.

 

Regards,

Jim :-)
