Does anyone have the 430 working in place of the default 430 bezel in the Dreamfoil Bell 407?

I can't seem to get it work.

Here's my current ini file.  Is it not possible to do this because perhaps the default GNS is below the main panel?  How do I read the coordinates?

Hi Ryan, when following the tutorial for the B58 in the user's manual, and when saving the panel UV render map to file, does it shows the default GNS 430 image? Further following the tutorial you'd be able to compute the coordinates. Is this ok or not?

Yes it shows it.  I did get the coords.  They weren't correct above... but I made the changes and I'm still not seeing it..  I know I'm closer because I can press the buttons in the already present bezel and it will control the RXP popup 430.  Does this mean my coords aren't correct?

I changed my ini to this (the frame rect coords I changed to 1515,550,430,231):

Ok so my math...

The X1, and Y1 values: 1515x1497

X2, Y2: 1945x1728

Top is 2047px - 1497

Here's my panel preview pic:

There are repetitions and duplicates. Replace with:

drawto = WINDOW, Garmin_430_screen

It's about 6am in France isn't it?

Alright JL that worked.  I had put in the coords above the code of text but I think what fixed it was removing the dup text and the PANELS line

Hopefully, I'm on the East coast, CYUL! I'm glad it is all working too!

It is unfortunate one have to do these series of actions just to find out the rect coordinates, but I've failed to relate the .acf or any other aircraft file data to any such panel coordinates, otherwise, I would have let the plugin figure this all out automatically.
