Little detail..  it is actually called:  GTN 750.

 

-_-  

I downloaded the GTN trainer from the link on Flight 1 page. I found the screen to be hard to read (not very crisp). Is that simply a limitation of the actual trainer?

 

Is the GTN 750 screen sharp and crisp? I run at 1600 x 900.

Ok then we're on the same page.

 

I own both Dukes and have contacted them, but no useful answer so far. Keeping me fingers crossed...

 

What info are you seeking?

That was my initial reaction.  With the power off, resize it by dragging a corner with your mouse, giving you a larger screen area.  That cleared it up for me.

Thanks. Works for me as well.

It seems pretty sharp to be....  at 1.00 zoom it's decent, but you have to zoom up to 1.5 to really read everything.  My eyes are young and even with glass cockpits in FSX they have issues sometimes.

 

Here's an example in the 182, more of a wider angle view (typical VC viewpoint), then I've got them in the Duke Turbine v2, more zoomed up view.

 

 

That does look good. Thanks Ryan. Appreciate the cockpit views.

Sure thing - those are both technically P3D2.5 - but the gauge looks identical in FSX.

 

Also, mini disclaimer... there is not yet crossfill (and may not ever be from reading at the forums)... the Duke shot there I just entered the FPL twice.

hi guys,

interesting thread! what's the situation like in 2017? any prospects regarding RXP? has the mindstar product evolved feature wise?

basically i am looking for a solution compatible to FSX & P3D3 to get familiar with the GNS430/530 series for real world flying. but i would be happy with a 2d pop-up window, no need for integration into VC panels for me.

any advice highly appreciated. thanks,

HiLok

let me rephrase that:

actually, i want to run the GNS on a separate touch-screen in 2d. no idea though how well the multi-function knobs would perform in such a configuration.

thanks, HiLok

thanks, bert -wasn't aware of that one. bit pricy though...

thanks anyway, HiLok

The Mindstar unit has changed quite a bit since the description in this thread; you might go to their site and take a look. Unlike the other similar offerings, it can be updated with real world nav data for a very reasonable price.
