today made two complete reinstalls of GTN750 and trainers, still NOGO... 😞

also made test with all other plugins disabled...

[lukaz81 0]

reverted back to version 2.4.12 and tried last two versions of trainers.

GTN Version 2.5.3. and 2.4.12 both not working with both trainers... strange -> clean reinstalled intel 530 driver, nvidia driver still no go...

tested with Turbo Commander, Arrow, Turbo Arrow, DO228... other plugins disabled/enabled, antivirus on/off (nothing in quarantine nothing blocked)

 

givin up

Hi,

Sorry for the delay. There seems you have the 'debug' mode enabled in the RealityXP.GTN.ini file.

please make sure to set all instances of the following setting to 0:

DebugValue = 0
LogTrainer = 0

 

[lukaz81 0]

all instances set to :

DebugValue = 0
LogTrainer = 0

getting blank screen after clicking continue...

Have you installed the latest GTN Trainer 6.41.1 or is it still the older 6.21?

[lukaz81 0]

tried both 6.41.1 and 6.21

[janbergwall01 10]

I suddenly got a blank screen in GTN750 in Carenado Turbo Commander when I used WT3. But only the screen in the dashboard. When I right-clicked the popup was working.

Problem solved after a reinstall of the aircraft. So probably a plugin or another addon is the reason. In my case Aerosoft payware EVRA. I cant setup WT3 on the ground at Riga Airport in the Turbo Commander 690B.

[RXP 2,336]

This sounds like a problem some customers have reported in the past with these aircraft, related to the frame.rect= setting getting reset to 0,0,0,0 in the ini file, therefore, preventing the GTN to draw.

You might want to review this setting in the ini file and compare with a saved backup / default installed file.

[lukaz81 0]

this problem isn't related only to turbo commander, recently I reinstalled / updated almost all aircrafts, so rewrited all inis with theirs defaults

 

in my case both dashboard and popup window not working (both are blank after clicking continue)

 

but for example my current turbo commander 690 RealityXp.GTN.ini is:

Are you sure the rheostats are not set to 0, or are the correct ones? You might want to open the settings panel and change these to '100%' instead just to make sure the GTN is not blank just because the screen brightness is 0.

The window is not visible. Make sure to open the RXP GTN plugin menu then show window. Is this displaying then?

 

[lukaz81 0]

Window was displaying normally when i clicked display window from menu no prob.

Will check rheostat settings later after return from vacation a send feedback. 

But for now thx for advices.

tried all settings with rheostats + percentages from 0 to 100, still the same result: blank after clicking continue

[RXP 2,336]

Hi,

I'm wondering whether even though you've installed 6.41.1, it is actually using this trainer instead of the 6.21 which I assume is still installed on your drive.

The trainer version shall display during boot. Can you please confirm this?

Can you please also confirm you are not using any 'environment variable' documented in the RXP GTN User's Manual to redirect the GTN plugin to using a 'trainer' from a specific path?

[lukaz81 0]

I reinstalled multiple times to reasure everything old went away.. also checked registry entries nothing old left...

The trainer version should appear on boot screen after clicking continue? That's the screen I got already blank... When I run the trainer itself without XP, it is running normally, displaying version 6.41.1 on boot after clicking continue...

not using any 'environment variable' documented in the RXP GTN User's Manual
