Reality XP GTN 750 "Black Screen" (resolved)

Featured Replies

Hello and Happy Holidays.

I can load the GTN 750 and access content from the plugins drop down menu in the simulator. However, when I start up the aircraft that I want to use it in, the screen remains in a shut down state and will not turn on. How can I fix this?

Avionics power is on in your aircraft?

Yes, the avionics are powered on. Everything turns on except the panel from the plugin.  

Hi,

I'd suggest you change the power source to "ALWAYS ON" so that you can eliminate this potential factor.

Then you might want to review the content of the RXP log files to cross check any potential issue (see User's Manual for file/path).

Reviewing the RealityXP.GTN.ini file tells what the problem is and how to solve it.

Please review the RXP GTN User's Manual for details about these settings.

Thank you for your help. I changed the settings to "ALWAYS ON", reviewed the file and read the User Manuel. However, I do not know what exactly it is telling me to do with the settings in the configuration. I match the coding from the example on the Manuel to the file on the aircraft and save, then when I start the simulator and load the aircraft, the settings revert and the screen remains black. 

Hi,

Which aircraft is this? The has been report in our forums in the past this happens sometimes with Carenado aircraft, but I believe they are issuing patches to solve this in general. Settings reverting mean they are 'replacing' or 'writing' our ini file probably when the aircraft load, because our plugin never writes the 'PANEL' section unless it didn't exist when a GTN loads.

It is the Carenado S550 Citation II. I have seen recent videos on Youtube of Xplane 11 users flying the aircraft with the GTN 750 plugin and it functions for them. 

I have the same problem. How and where do I turn "ALWAYS ON"?

In the settings UI menu and power scource.

whats UI? at GTN 750 settings?

Dear friends,
After asking for my money back because I can not see anything on the Reality XP GTN 750/650 screen. I decided to buy again and try to solve it myself. Today I had the solution that solved, it is not used for other cases.
My Windowns are on " C"  and X Plane 11 on an external hard drive (X ) . And that made nothing appear.
SOLUTION:
In the part of choosing where to install the Trainer and the database comes by default the "C"  but I put in the root where this my X Plane 11, (in my case X:)
Hope it helps you also in the case of Black Screen.
