January 6, 20197 yr Hello all Is there a way to install it on a DC-6 .....I used the pull-down menu option installs but inside the default GNS screen and never works.......Also not activated to be selected at the PMDG options menu? kindly help..... FYI I installed perfectly on the Carenado B1900D and works fine Regards Alaa A. RiadJust love to fly...............

January 8, 20197 yr Hi, I'm not sure to understand what the issue is exactly. First, are you talking about the genuine Reality XP GNS V2 or the older RXP GNS WAAS product (legacy)?
January 14, 20197 yr Author Sorry for the delay in responding, it's the V2 I just purchased last December Alaa A. RiadJust love to fly............... W11 64-bit, MSFS2020, Intel Core i7-8700 CPU @ 3.20 Ghz 6 Cores, 2 TR HD, 16.0 GB DDR4 RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6 MB GDDR5
January 14, 20197 yr On 1/6/2019 at 4:02 AM, Alaaar said: used the pull-down menu option installs but inside the default GNS screen and never works Can you please clarify? Is 'pull-down menu option' the RXP GNS V2 Add-on Menu 'Panel Assistant' GUI? Is 'inside the default GNS' using the Panel Assistant 'Replace' function then selecting an auto-detected gauge in the panel? is 'never works' meaning there is no change to the panel (panel.cfg file) when you press the 'Accept' button? Besides, it has been documented in the past: make a local copy of rxpGNS2.dll (installed in C:\Program Files (x86)\Reality XP\ ....) into the simulator gauge folder as 'rxpGNS.gau' (or .dll depending) and this will make any 3rd party aircraft config tool looking for the legacy gauge file to work. From then on, our GNS V2 includes a new technology, 'Gauge Name Alias', which automatically makes any panel.cfg gauge## entry with the older legacy name to work with our newest GNS V2.

January 14, 20197 yr Ok, you might want to download and install the latest v2.4.6 version then (see pinned discussion in this forum). Besides, what about my other questions?

Besides, what about my other questions? OK, sir, 1- it's the P3D pull down "Add-ons" menu under Reality XP GNS then Setup aircraft, it gives me three options, 1- Configure the reality XP GNS window or 2- Replace gauge with Reality XP GNS (auto detect) or 3- Restore PMDG DC-6b......(auto back) in which I select number 2 option I select number 2 The two other question I m working on it Alaa A.

January 14, 20197 yr Ok, there is no option in the assistant to do this in the 2D panel because it is not needed usually. Best solution: make the necessary edits to remove their 'static' bitmap and have the GNS V2 gauge display over the entire popup window. Bonus: you'll get much better GNS bezel graphics (Reality XP's) and advanced mouse handling!

November 11, 20205 yr Sorry to resurrect this old topic. I love flying the DC-6, and have been trying to install the GTN650 into the Virtual Cockpit. I am not having any luck using any of the methods. Carrying out the steps above I am now able to have the 2d panel (window7), but I can't use the functions in the VC. The best I could install is the bezel-less version into the VC (which is not great), but touching the screen just opens the popup. If I also had the F1 GTN I could install that first through PMDGs options page and then replace it with the RealityXP? But as I do not have the F1 version this option is greyed out. Is there anyway to have the 650 working in the VC (without the popup window - I fly in VR)? Thanks Neil
November 12, 20205 yr It is unfortunate the tool is preventing you from using it. It is possible the tool is just check a gauge file presence and in this case, a simple fix might work: create a text file in the simulator Gauges folder, type a few letters to make it non-empty, save and rename the file as "f1gtn.dll"
November 12, 20205 yr Thanks so much, that seems to have done the trick. Off for a quick test flight!
