Hey,

Just purchased the product, and installed it, but I'm having a bit of trouble accessing it. It says in the manual that configuration appears under the "add-ons" tab, but I'm not seeing any Reality-XP or GTN options there. I thought I had the product installed, but so far no go. Now, I to have the GNS 430 installed on many aircraft. Does this new product conflict with the 430? Are there additional steps I need to perform in order to install this into FSX?

Hi,

If add-on menu is missing, and there are no errors, it probably mean a standard Windows component is missing somehow. This component is the very standard Windows MSXML

For P3D3 and P3D4, should the add-on.xml fails to create during installation, you can create the file manually with the following content:

File: "My Documents\Prepar3D v4 Add-ons\Reality XP GTN\add-on.xml"

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SimBase.Document Type="AddOnXml" version="3,3" id="add-on">
    <AddOn.Name>Reality XP GTN</AddOn.Name>
    <AddOn.Description>Legendary Gauges Redefined</AddOn.Description>
    <AddOn.Component>
        <Category>DLL</Category>
        <Name>Reality XP GTN Menu</Name>
        <Path>C:\Program Files (x86)\Reality XP\GTN Simulation\FltSim\64\rxpGTN_menu.dll</Path>
    </AddOn.Component>
    <AddOn.Component>
        <Category>Gauges</Category>
        <Name>Reality XP GTN Gauge</Name>
        <Path>C:\Program Files (x86)\Reality XP\GTN Simulation\FltSim\64</Path>
    </AddOn.Component>
</SimBase.Document>

NB: for P3D3, it goes into: "My Documents\Prepar3D v3 Add-ons\Reality XP GNS\add-on.xml"

NB: for P3D3: change any "64" with "32"

Hi,

I have no add on menu as well for FSX-SE. There were no errors showing. Is there a fix for this? I'm using Windows 10.

Hi, in FSX, FSX-SE, P3D1 and P3D2, the menu is activated via the DLL.xml file.

On the other hand, the gauge is copied into the simulator "Gauge" folder.

typically in "C:\Users\[name]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX\dll.xml"

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SimBase.Document Type="Launch" version="1,0">
    <Descr>Launch</Descr>
    <Filename>dll.xml</Filename>
    <Disabled>False</Disabled>
    <Launch.ManualLoad>False</Launch.ManualLoad>
    <Launch.Addon>
        <Name>Reality XP GTN Menu</Name>
        <Disabled>False</Disabled>
        <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
        <Path>C:\Program Files (x86)\Reality XP\GTN Simulation\FltSim\32\rxpGTN_menu.dll</Path>
    </Launch.Addon>
</SimBase.Document>

NB: everything included within <Launch.Addon> and </Launch.Addon> is GTN specific.

NB: other content is standard DLL.xml file content.

How do I do this? By the way, I'm running FSX on Windows 10, not Prepar3D.

@AZMRA I've highlighted the relevant simulators in my 2 posts above so as to make it more obvious these are 2 different posts, for 2 different sets of simulators.

Just pick the config for the correct simulator.

Yeah, I apologize, I'm still not sure what to do. You said we could create the missing dll.xml file manually. I'm asking how that is accomplished.

In your case, it is not a missing file, but missing entries in the file. So you just have to copy/paste the missing information into the correct file.

The file path is indicated in my post. Just open a file explorer, navigate to this folder (it is hidden by default, but you can copy/paste the full path to the file into the file explorer path bar). Then open the file with notepad.exe for example. Once opened, just copy the block of text, including, <Launch.Addon>...</Launch.Addon> and paste it into the opened dll.xml file in notepad, so as to have it 'look' like what I've posted above.

NB: there might be other <Launch.Addon> entries in your XML file already, don't delete them, just add the new block next to them.

PS: make a backup of your DLL.xml file prior proceeding

Thanks so much for your help, that worked!

Sorry for the installation hiccup, but I'm glad you've got all sorted out in the end!

Thank you, up and running now.

Hello,

Just purchased and I am having the same problem as above with the "add-on" for GTN not showing up, only my FSUIPC. Followed directions as above in checking the dll file as shown:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SimBase.Document Type="Launch" version="1,0">
    <Descr>Launch</Descr>
    <Filename>dll.xml</Filename>

        <Disabled>True</Disabled>
        <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
        <Path>..\Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK\SDK\Mission Creation Kit\object_placement.dll</Path>
    </Launch.Addon>

        <Path>C:\Program Files (x86)\Reality XP\GTN Simulation\FltSim\32\rxpGTN_menu.dll</Path>
    </Launch.Addon>
</SimBase.Document>

 

I had wanted to attached some screen shots of what I see but was unable to paste or add any attachments to this. I am running FSX on windows and was running RealityXP GNS 430 successfully before this upgrade.  Thanks for your help.

 

 

@staggtr Hi, I'm not sure to understand the conclusions: is the menu working despite the entry in the DLL.xml, or, is the menu NOW working since you've added the entries in the DLL.xml file?

Hi,

When I fire up FSX with the dll file as shown above, and go to the add-on menu, the only thing that menu shows is FSUIPC.  It is NOT showing a GTN option, so still not working despite this. Thanks for your prompt reply.

Hi, can you please let me know what FSX version are you running, and what does the content of the RXP log files say? (see User's Manual for file paths).
