Dual GTN650s in the Baron

The first post in this thread shows the panel.cfg file edits

OK Thanks Bert

Bert, I just tried to modify the Carenado Baron with the panel.cfg sections you’ve shown above. I’m running P3D v4.2. One of your instructions is to turn off 3D knobs. The only way I know how to do that is to use one of the pop-up windows that you’ve deleted in favor of a pop-up GTN650 window. This might be causing my bigger problem in that the grey background of my panel has become transparent.  Before and after pics attached. The photos are of the panel displayed on two monitors I have built into a flight deck panel. If you saw the same display on my main monitor, the black areas actually become outside scenery.

The first photo is stock, the second is with your mod. Any idea what my problem is?

Sorry, I have absolutely no idea...

  Bert, can you tell me how you turn off the 3D knobs without the pop up window?

I added a little xml gauge:

<Gauge Name="Control_init" Version="1.0">

<!-- No 3d Knobs -->
   
<Element> <Select> <Value>
 (L:3DKNOBSBOOL,bool) !  if{ 1 (>L:3DKNOBSBOOL,bool) }      
</Value> </Select> </Element>
</Gauge>

This code goes into an xml text file, I call it Control_Init.xml

This xml file goes into a new subfolder to the panel folder, I call it Controls

(you can choose any names you like..)

In the panel.cfg file, I added one new line:

[Vcockpit03]
......
gauge12=Controls!Control_init, 0,0,1,1

If you own the FLight1 GTN650 gauge,  you can install two of them in the Baron.

 

Use the "no 3d knobs" option.

pardon my ignorance but do we leave the rest of the Vcockpit03. gauges 3 thru 10 still in on the above.  I would think wed lose the rest like the annunciator , gem etc. whatever else is in that vcockpit.   please clarify.   i just got the gtn759 complete which includes the 750 AND 650.   I also think we could substitute the gtn 650 in many Carenado panels with existing 530. 430  gps’s

No,no

... is shorthand for keep the rest unchanged!

Why would the clickspots not respond on one of the units? The upper unit only works on the very right side... the continue button. The lower unit works fine.  The hand shows up on the upper but nothing happens when I click on it

Do you still have the old Toggle GPS line?

gauge09=BB58!Toggle_Gps,  247,92,189,112

If so, put // in front of it

//gauge09=BB58!Toggle_Gps,  247,92,189,112

That took care of it! Thanks a million!
