March 29, 20188 yr I recently installed the GTN750 mod downloaded from the Flight1 File Library into the Carenado Grand Caravan EX and although the GTN750 itself works satisfactorily and the autopilot will fly a GTN flightplan, the rotary knobs on the autopilot to select ALT, CRS and HDG will not function. This must be related to the mod as these knobs function without problems on a Caravan EX where the GTN has not been integrated. I have compared the two panel cfg files and I noted that the 'window' entry for the autopilot was not present in the addon panel that I downloaded from the Flight1 library (panel.gtn) so I copied that, renumbered the entry and added it to the panel.gtn cfg file but that didn't make any difference. I guess the issue might reside in the 'vcockpit' entries of the cfg file but I am unable to work out what I should modify and any help from anyone who has had this problem would be appreciated. Bill
March 29, 20188 yr You did not state which simulator you are using. Also, are you using the F1 GTN or the separate RXP GTN. Both are downloaded from F1 but they are different products. This is from a different Carenado aircraft, but if you are using P3D try this: "If you have nonfunctional clicking spots, please set reflection detail to NONE in the Display Setting menu." Also check shift-3 (or other shift-# combinations) and look for other settings such as 3D knobs or panel reflections.

March 29, 20188 yr Author Thanks Frank - Sorry for not mentioning that I'm using the Flight1 GTN with FSX. The reflection detail is already set at none as the GTN clickspots were initially non-functional but the problem, as I said, is not with the GTN but with the rotary knobs on the AP. Bill
April 18, 20188 yr scianoir I have found myself reading in other posts. Assuming you followed install instructions in PDF attached. Go to drive :\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\SimObjects\Airplanes\Carenado C208B_Grand_Caravan_EX\panel.gtn backup panel.cfg just in case. open panel.cfg with text editor find this entry and past it over: [Vcockpit03] Background_color=0,0,0 size_mm=512,512 visible=0 pixel_size=512,512 texture=$Panel_3 gauge00=C208EX_G1000!G1000_Audio, 437, 0, 75, 423 gauge01=GAUGEC208EX!Gauge_CLOCK_DIG, 0, 0,1 , 1 gauge02=CarSound_CE208EX!CarSound, 2,2,5,5 gauge03=GAUGEC208EX!Radio_KR87_ADF, 0, 111,421, 87 gauge04=C208EX!ToggleCAR430, 65,0,200,40 gauge05=C208EX_GAUGE!GAUGE_G1000_PEDESTAL_BTN_OUTER, 77,284,95,105 gauge06=C208EX_GAUGE!GAUGE_G1000_PEDESTAL_BTN_INNER, 178,284,95,105 gauge07=C208EX_GAUGE!Gauge_AUTOPILOT_C208EXVC, 0, 425, 512, 86 gauge08=GAUGEC208EX!PS440HF, 275, 212, 160, 177 Now autopilot should work. I think mod was released before Carenado last version. Have a nice flight. Nuno Braga
April 18, 20188 yr Author Thank you Nuno, yes mod was released quite a while before last version. I will try that! Bill Edited April 18, 20188 yr by scianoir
May 1, 20188 yr I also have this problem. I have P3d V4.2 with the Caravan EX HD and the Flight 1 Mod. I dont have a refelctions detail setting that I can find and the panel.gtn folder that has panel.cfg has an entry in the {Vcockpit03} section that matches the one posted here. Still the auto pilot panel is light than the others and does not function. Any ideas out there? Thanks
June 23, 20187 yr Hello, the GTN750 Mod works fine except with Synthetic Vision! Is there a way to use both, Synthetic Vision beside the GTN750 Mod... Regards Raller Win 10 Pro | P3Dv4.5 | X-Plane 11 | MSFS 2020 | I5-9600K @ 4.8GHz | RTX 2070 8GB | 32GB RAM | SSD | T.16000M

July 23, 20205 yr Dear all with problems with the c208b ex autopilot not working after the gtn750 mod, here is my panel.cfg for the c208b ex I reworked after some testing. For me now the GTN750 (without reflections) as well as the autopilot of the caravan is functioning properly.
