GTN 750 intergration

[CT5 1]

Here is a download link to everything you need  for your panel folder with the mod. Please make a backup of the origional first just in case. I have included two screen shots of what the mod looks like so you have an idea if this is something for you. The community has given so much to me so i hope this works and i am able to give something useful back. Enjoy.  (obviously the GTN 750 needs to be properly installed first and configured for the Citation 550 in the F1 config utility first before proceeding!!)

Hey that is surely a complete and easy package that you have developed. Did you consider placing the GTN750 in the MFD glass area on the panel? I would think it would be a lot more practical at that location rather than down on the pedestal.

 

Good work though.

Yes I can probably put a second unit in the mfd area,good idea! I will test out and update

This looks really good! 

 

The GTN750 is a lot more useful as a navigation device, than the dumbed down Universal FMC that is in the plane.

 

Nice work!

Great. I was never a fan of putting the stuff on the back of the pedestal but Cessna would never listen to me.

Hi Bert.

Looks great!, is there any way you could try to move it to where the radio panel is?

I am going to encourage Carenado to make the GTN upgrade available.

I have also sent them a request, although i think you missed a bit to the right with the placement

since it has the radios built in already, the GTN replaces them in the cockpit:

in real life, could one reach all the way across the panel to operate the touch screen?

Probably not. The real world location of choice seems to be just to the right of the MFD. Most of the photos of rw installations have a weather radar or garmin GPS located where Carenado put the MFD.

 

I posted a cut and paste screenshot showing the GTN750 in that location (rw) in one of the threads here a couple of days ago.

I'd like to put it where the Wx radar is - and just put the main screen in that window.  We'd still have to use the popup to use the gauge.

Thank you CT5 for your efforts on this. I have an idea for other placements. Me personally I'm not a fan of the location of the GTN aft of the throttle quadrant. I think most would prefer it on the main panel where it can be visible. My thought would be to remove the FMS and move the Universal MFD aft of the throttles to the current position of the FMS. And then place the GTN 750 in the current position of the Universal MFD as well as remove the COM1 and NAV1 radios as these are integrated into the GTN.

 the terrain map only covers the US ?

 

65 $ US for the P3D version ?

 

Seems pricy

Your welcome, I agree with you fully, i just posted a new panel mod, maybe its a little better to some than this one. I do hope Carenado makes us a formal GTN intergration option. RealityXP is  dying and Supporting this new software is the way to go. Even Realair and Milviz has jumped on board with this product.

Looks great... 

just one question about the GTN 750? 

how often do you guys get navdata updates for it (like airacs or garmin updates..)?

thats the only thing that bothers me before i buy it...
