Follow on to the above.... here is for the popup.

 

1. Make a subfolder to your panel folder and call it C2CAR

 

2. Unzip the contents of the C2CAR.cab file (found in the Gauges folder) into this new folder

 

3. Open the Toggle10300.xml file (in the new folder) with Notepad.

 

4. Change    <Click>10300 (>K:PANEL_ID_TOGGLE)</Click>

 

to    <Click>14401 (>K:PANEL_ID_TOGGLE)</Click>

 

5. Save the file as "Toggle14401.xml" back into the new folder

 

If you made the changes from the previous instructions, the left bezel of the MFD

will now pop up the GTN750, assuming you have a GTN popup window in your panel.cfg file

with Ident=14401 which the F1GTN config app should have added for you.

Nice job Bert. Try using this and let me know how you like ----gauge04=F1GTN!GTN750VC, 555,  45, 424, 310, UNIT1

That works fine too, but I really do not need the radio information, since the Collins radios are right next to it..

 

Also, using the screen in the VC means turning off Instrument Reflections, and even with that, I do not have

access to the Direct-to button.

 

So, for me, I'll use the popup for interaction and would like the map screen to look as undistorted as possible..

Good point Bert.

Sorry to come late to the party.... can someone point me to where Carenado said they'll add GTN integration?  Did they make any mention of the RealityXP units? 

 

Thanks.

They haven't yet announced anything, but thanks to Bert we can use it in place of the MFD. Some people have sent a support ticket requesting compatibility.

Carenado have stated that they intend to provide GTN integration "in the future"..

 

No mention of RXP units.

No mention of RXP units.

 

that would be a commercial mistake as there are more rxp users around than gtn users?

 

something shiny and new comes along and the poor rxp gets thrown into the trash bin... lol.

I think its more to do with future proofing. RXP is not supported in any way and not used in P3D and FSX-SE

The GTN is overall better than RXP .

 

But there's two things bugging me:

 

No DME/radial info when you tune a vor to nav1

and

Some gauge instability issues especially when using a navdatabase different than the extremely dated 1106

I think the whole point of the GTN's creation was to replace the RXP units.

Ryan, what database are you using with your GTN ?

Have you used the GTN configure tool? Should be on desktop or start menu?
