Hi,

are you sure you've purchased the genuine Reality XP GNS V2 product and not another one with a similar name?

You can check your purchase receipt for the product name details. If this is a genuine Reality XP product, you're at the right place. Otherwise, you might want to review your support options with another vendor.

The installation file is called rxpGNS2-530-FSIM.exe

Hi,

what you are referring to as the "payment assistant" is a full e-commerce enabled installer, which unwraps and install the software once purchased, or, when choosing "REINSTALL".

You can read more about the whole process in our FAQ:

Does the software work without the hardware? I really just want to use the GPS on the screen

This is a software package that works with Flight Simulator.. there is no hardware, that I know of..

How can I download the software again? I can not come to a download link.

Thank you. I have now installed the GPS GNS530 in Prepar3D V4 and it works too. I also built the harware. (Arduino, Buttons, Rotarys). I tested the hardware with standard offsets / eventIDs. Also work. For the RealityXP GNS530, however, I can not find working offsets or EventIDs. Even reading by means of FSUIPC logging does not work. Can someone tell me which Offsets or EventID's the GNS530 has for the P3D? Many thanks

Or can i use the Keyboard to control the GNS530? Many thanks

The RXP GNS can be set to "use FS commands" in the RXP ini file for the airplane.

; uses Simulator GPS commands if true.
UseSimGpsCmds = true

If you have started the airplane with the GNS, a RealityXP.GNS.ini file will have been generated.

Open this file with Notepad.

Look for those lines in the [GNS_530_1] section.

If they are not there, add them.

Save, and go fly..

This is what I use in another airplane.. as a reference:
