The flipping around is what I'm talking about, as if the avionics never really turn off.

 

Wanted to wait a bit and make a few more flights before responding on this.  As mentioned before, I have seen this after shutting all avionics down and turning the battery off, but since this discussion have not been able to repeat it.  I wonder if this is one of those things that can crop up when systems don't initialize quite right in the first place.  Try the old trick of loading up the 172 before flying the Duke and see if it helps.

 

On the other issue being discussed about the Inverter switch and AP display, yes I see this too.  Hadn't really payed attention to it and it's really a minor glitch, but the AP display does seem strangely tied to the inverter switch being flipped, whether engines are running and generators are on line or not.  In practice, this doesn't impact operation at all, but it does seem incorrect.

I tried both ways to load a flight, still happens regardless.

 

Now I'm on the hunt for an ezca file. Anyone have it? Plus effects settings? That would really add to the realism.

I will pass the inverter glitch along and see what can be done. It's not a serious issue.

Now we've got to convince the Real Air guys to take a serious look at integrating this new Mindstar GPS stuff. I'm all hot for switching to P3D, but it's my recent understanding that Reality XP is not portable to P3D. The Mindstar stuff doesn't seem like it's as hardcore as the Reality XP gauges, but it would be better than using the stupid default GPS in P3D. If and when I switch to P3D, I would defintely want the Dukes to be able to join me there with a capable, non-default GPS.

 

 

Well, your "we" definitely does not represent all simmers or users of this aircraft.   

 

RealAir make perfect providios for RXP integration in their aircraft, and the RXP units in turn, perform flawlessly, including in areas like terrain awareness, that the Mindstar units don't offer.    Talk about why fix it, if it ain't broke.....

 

As stated originally, and as others have already understood, the request stems from the desire to be able to use Real Air products in the upcoming P3Dv2 without having to resort to using the default GPS.   When it's a toss up between default GPS, and what WarpD has reported about Mindstar, I'll take Mindstar, despite it not being as fully featured as Reality XP.  I'm not sure what wasn't clear about the original post, but it seems that you may have missed the point of what was being said, so I'm just restating it.

How could anyone design a 3d gauge bezel plus functionality for something not even out?  Since it's not out yet I wont be a believer until I see something that's real solid.

No, as noted it causes no substantive problem, but thanks for taking a look.

Yes, exactly. There is a long way to go yet. We will wait and see what works and also see what customers actually want.

Would there be a way that, if they just mimic the RXP sizes and clickspots, to make it work on a general basis? I mean, the RXP stuff represents the real units and so the sizing and placement of the knobs and display should be more or less set, no?

 

I would surely help the gauges if they could just jump in the RXP compatible cockpits. Side topic, I know. :blush: I guess Ryan has a point.

Ok, then wait a week or two or whenever until Mindstar is released and then the issue of "incorporating software whose dimensions aren't known" will be a moot point.    At that point it will only just be a question of demand, and whether Real Air want to fully support their airplanes' use in P3D as a full featured product (meaning option for more advanced GPS than default) or not.  From Rob's last post, it doesn't sound like they are all that interested, but hey, all one can do is put it out there and ask...

 

Best possible solution would be if somebody could rescue the Reality XP developer from the deserted island he's been marooned on, and just get him to port it over, but I guess that's just not going to happen.  I hate it when people just abandon something like this, without even the courtesy of a single notice or post to their public (didn't that happen with DreamFleet?), but I digress off topic...

I finally had a chance to order the upgrade. It's a masterful job that eclipses all my GA airplanes. Simply extraordinary!

 

Thank you Rob and please add me to the list of customers who want the Turbine upgraded to this standard.

No pilot flies without weather radar! Please let us fit in a combo of 430, 540, wx500!

Hang on a moment! You are talking about two separate products that haven't even been released yet and you are saying "From Rob's last post, it doesn't sound like they are all that interested". How can we be expected to pledge integration with something that we haven't even seen working yet?

I'm glad to stand corrected then, because I (and some others have also expressed interest) would like to see an alternative to RXP for the sake of Prepar3d, and as long as you are open to the possibility, it's all one can ask.   From another thread, I was under the impression that Mindstar Ed had already approached you guys, but upon rereading that thread I guess that must have been a beta tester, not an official correspondence.  In any case, Mindstar seems to be the only effort in place to replicate the Garmin gauges in a serious way for use in Prepar3d.

Are there any plans to add that feature?
