RXP GNS v2 in planes with RXP legacy options (resolved)

[Moose4 0]

Hi all, got a strange issue with my new RXP GNS 530/430 v2 units.  I just purchased them today and have installed them on my new system.  I have a number of airplanes from Carenado, Milviz, etc. that have options in their installers, or extra .exe files, to allow the use of RXP gauges, I guess they replace the .mdl files in the VC with GNS 530 and/or 430 bezels.

So I went into my Milviz Beaver and selected the RXP 530/430 option in MVAMS.  Fired P3D v4.5 up, selected the Beaver, and I see the bezels, but the 530 screen is black and the 430 screen is gray, and they don't have any clickspots.  So I went into Add-Ons/Reality XP and configured the 530 and 430 in P3D while sitting in the Beaver, then exited the sim, rebooted, and went back into P3D.  The Beaver still does not have the gauges functioning in the VC, though now I have a working pop-up 530 and 430 (which I can't figure out how to close, but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it).

Same thing with some of my older Carenado aircraft that have "RXPGNS530.exe" files or similar in their Aircraft folders.  I can run those to install the bezels in the VC, but I cannot get the GNS unit(s) to actually work in the VC.

Does anybody have any idea what I might have missed?  I feel like I must have made a small mistake along the installation somewhere, but the F1 installers are usually pretty word not allowed-proof.  So I'm not sure why none of my VCs that are supposed to natively support the RXP GNS units, won't do it.

Thanks!

Hi,

First you don't need to restart the sim nor reload the aircraft when using the Reality XP Panel Assistant: it changes the aircraft panel live in-sim for instant results and reward (well in your case the reward is not there yet, see below).

Are you sure these aircraft RXP configs are for the Reality XP GNS 530/430 V2 and not for the legacy GNS WAAS?

There is an easy way in this case: just find the rxpGNS2.dll found in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Reality XP\... " (the one in the 64 bits folder because you're using P3D4) and copy it into the P3D4 'Gauges' folder as: "rxpGNS.dll".

This will make it look like the legacy GNS to older panels thanks to our unique 'gauge alias' technology. To complete the process, once in the sim with the aircraft loaded, open the Config Panel and in the advances gauge settings enable "Use legacy L:Vars".

That's fixed it, Jean-Luc!  Thank you very much!
