Problem/compatibility between XP and P3D

Featured Replies

Hello, yesterday I updated the Reality GTN 750 for X-Plane and it worked perfectly, in X-Plane.

But today when I ran P3D the GTN 750 was inop.

So I own the Reality GTN 750 for X-Plane and the F1 GTN 750 for P3D.

How can I make it so I can have both sims run the GTN 750?

Thanks.

Suggest updating the F1 GTN 750 for P3D as well..

But I already did.  It’s 1.1.7

If I update the XP one then the P3D one is inop.

Are we talking about the same thing..?  The latest F1 GTN is V2.1.5.

Hello Bert, I just had a look at things after fiddling with it all night with no help.

First, everything was fine with the GTN's running in both sims until I got a pop-up that said there was an update.  After running the update, XP was fine but P3D wouldn't work.

As it stands now I have P3D's GTN working but XP's is not.

Here's what I have, when I run the F1 update tool it tells me I have 1.17.

When I run the F1 Config tool it shows v2.10.

When I run the Garmin trainer it tells me it's v6.50.

When I click "About" in the Garmin Trainer it says it's v2.3.1.0.

When I click "Update" in the Trainer it says version 2.7.0.0 is available and do I want to update it.

If I do update it I think it will make X-Plane's GTN work but then P3D's will not.

Please advise and many thanks sir.

I am no authority on this.. but I am successfully running the Garmin 6.62 GTN Trainer with both F1 and RXP GTN gauges.

V6.50 sounds to me like it might be out of date.. and I would update it if I were you.

I would ignore the F1 Update tool, it has proven useless many times over..

The F1 Config Tool has been complaining for a while, but F1 says that they have now fixed that with their latest GTN update..

Best of luck!!

Thanks again Bert, I had them working perfectly, now XP isn't.

Where do I get the 6.62 trainer?  And don't you get a pop-up telling you there's an update to the GTN trainer?

I would simply get the latest GTN Trainer which as best I know is supported by both F1 and RXP.

Do you have a link?  A web search brings up so many different versions but not 6.62. :mellow:

Please let us know how it goes.. :happy:

Last recommendation... let the Garmin Trainer install into its default location!

Here's my results.  It's bad for P3D.

I installed the GarminTrainerSetup_2700.zip file.

I let it install in its default location.

When installing it said it was GTN Trainer v6.62.3

Ran XP, it worked.

Ran P3D and it didn't work, I got this popup as soon as I powered up the A2A Bonanza:

[removed - not RXP related]

Then I ran the F1 Config Tool, I get this popup which wants me to download the very same GarminTrainerSetup_2700.zip file:

[removed - not RXP related]

So now I'm really scratching my head.  It was working in both sims perfectly till this update.
