November 25, 20187 yr Probably been covered but I finally have it working (yay!) but only in the pop out window. The GTN 750 area of the panel in my Carenado F33A is just a black screen.

November 25, 20187 yr 1 minute ago, Looseparts said: [GTN_750_1.PANELS] ; display position and dimension (left,top,width,height) frame.rect = 0,0,0,0 It is an empty rectangle. Something went wrong in the ini file and I'd suggest you restore the ini file which comes with the Carenado F33A (I guess there is one included?)
November 25, 20187 yr Author Working now. I put values in the ini ; display position area based on where the 430 is in Planemaker, but that didn't do it. I noticed that in my Just Flight PA-28R - everything worked perfectly. There is no Carenado ini file to edit as far as I could tell, so I copied the RealityXP.GTN.ini from the PA28R folder and pasted it into the Carenado F33A_Bonanza_v1.1 and launched it. Partial failure / partial success. Both the panel GTN 750 and the pop out were functional, but very, very dim (see attached) so I found the ; integral lighting rheostat index (0 to 3) or percent (-100 to 0) Rheostat.Display = ; integral lighting rheostat index (0 to 3) or percent (-100 to 0) Rheostat.Buttons = settings in the functional ini file brought over from the Piper to the Bonanza and fiddled with the values. -100 did the trick ! (see attached) This is probably not proper, but today I'm very happy. If you or someone shows me the best method, I'll try it, but for now... life is good : -)

November 25, 20187 yr Author Jean Luc. If you want to help me make my plane absolutely complete, I'd like a Garmin a GFC 500 and dual G5s please. Thanks for all you do! This GTN 750 is fantastic!!
