Question about configuring f1vc.xml

Hi Greg,

This will work with any aircraft. Download this zip file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/8egnuc87fesggcb/rxpGTN.zip?dl=0 The download button is at upper right corner of page. It contains a folder rxpGTN inside that folder is a file f1vc.xml. Extract the folder into the panel folder. Open the panel.cfg file and add the following line below the RXP gauge; gauge01=rxpGTN!f1vc,0,0,1,1 to the appropriate VCockpit section.

Looks look this.

[VCockpit03]
size_mm=1024,1024
pixel_size=1024,1024
texture=$GTN750
background_color=0,0,0

gauge00=rxpGTN!GTN_750_1, 0,0,677,794,NO_BEZEL
gauge01=!f1vc,0,0,1,1

Lastly:
Flight Simulator GPS commands
The GTN may be configured to intercept all of the default FS GPS commands.
Open the settings panel then select "Use Default GPS Commands" advanced
gauge option.

Myself and others have to double click on the bezel buttons. A single click works for others. No one is sure why.

Bill,
Per "works in any aircraft", please recall Line 17 of the f1vc.xml file contains a 4 digit code that varies based on what GTN gauges are in use in that aircraft. So if using a 650 instead of a 750, or using say 750_2 instead of 750_1 requires adjusting that code.

I have the PC12 and the last note confuses me. This is my line 17

      8 8 0 0

These 4 numbers configure how to connect the virtual cockpit GTN model (type+unit) to the RXP GTN unit number.
    They are set in a specific order, respectively to the following 3D models: 652, 651, 752, 751.
   
    Use 0 to map the corresponding device to the RXP GTN #1, use 8 to map to the RXP GTN #2. It reads like this:
           
    code = 8080
    3D model   |  652  |  651  |  752  |  751  |
    map to RXP |   8   |   0   |   8   |   0   |
               |(unit2)|(unit1)|(unit2)|(unit1)|

    Other Examples:
    
    3D panel using 651 and 652: 8 0 8 0
    3D panel using 751 and 752: 8 0 8 0
    3D panel using 751 and 651: 8 8 0 0
    
7) Example with the MilViz DHC3:

this aircraft panel.cfg virtual cockpit sections are:
    
    [Vcockpit20]
    ...
    gauge00=F1GTN!GTN750VC,  0,0,677,794,UNIT1
    
    [Vcockpit21]
    ...
    gauge00=F1GTN!GTN650VC,  0,0,677,297,UNIT1    

The virtual cockpit uses the 751 and the 651 (type+unit). Therefore, the code must tell to map the 751 to RXP unit1,
and the 651 to RXP unit2. Using the column view above, this gives:
    
    code = 8800
    3D model   |  652  |  651  |  752  |  751  |
    map to RXP |   8   |   8   |   0   |   0   |
               |(unit2)|(unit2)|(unit1)|(unit1)|
               
Change the panel.cfg virtual cockpit sections to:
 
    [Vcockpit20]
    ...
    gauge00=rxpGTN!GTN_750_1,  0,0,677,794,NO_BEZEL
    gauge01=rxpGTN!f1vc,0,0,1,1

    [Vcockpit21]
    ...
    gauge00=rxpGTN!GTN_650_2,  0,0,677,297,NO_BEZEL
    
Change f1vc.xml line 17 to:

            <!-- map F1 model to RXP GTN unit -->
            <!-- use: 8 0 8 0 for 652=unit2, 651=unit1, 752=unit2, 751=unit1 -->
            <!-- use: 8 8 0 0 for 652=unit2, 651=unit2, 752=unit1, 751=unit1 -->
      8 8 0 0

I have the PC12 and just one 750_1 that makes the code I need 0000? Am confused sorry!

Same here. I use code 8800. For the buttons to work make sure to set Use Simulator GPS Commands.
