Update RXP GTN 750

[por930 51]

I am in the process of updating my load of the GTN 750, and trying to determine the simplest solution. eg, update and all gauges are still in place.

My GTN 750  currently advises on first start, sw version 6.50.1 TRNG,  and reality xp 2.5.19..my Airac is 1803..

Today, I downloaded from my software supplier, F1, an updated load file, rxpGTN-750-FSIM.exe. It advises, rxpGtnSim.dll v2.5.23 and GTN Trainer v6.62.3

Will this update version include a newer Airac than 1803? and will the update require a full reinstall, which as I recall, was quite large.

Hi,

The latest trainer is 6.63.3 (launcher 2.7.0.0) and includes DB cycle 1909. Expect roughly 3.5GB for the whole download.

NB: latest RXP GTN is no longer supporting trainer 6.50.x

@Jean-Luc Thanks Jean-Luc for reply. So, are you advising the update i have found on the F1 system ( rxpGTN-750-FSIM.exe) is the update I need,  and that it will be a full download...meaning I have to re-establish the GTN 750 gauges in all relevant aircraft? Do I have to uninstall everything prior to update?

Cannot match your references to the updates.  However given if you have found genuine RXP updates the references in the various aircraft's panel.cfg files (aircraft related panel folders), and the rxp related .ini files in those aircraft's primary folders should be unaffected by the updates.  The updates or installations do not overwrite those aircraft-specific files, and the references in those files should still be good.

@fppilot  Thanks for the reply Frank. OK, I decided to use the links provided by Jean-Luc as could not work out where to find any later versions( GTN Trainer 6.62.3 with AIRAC 1909) on July 1 2019. and downloaded the 8 cab files as well as the three setup files. What order is the setup carried out? 

Databases.setup.msi

GTN.setup.msi

Launcher.setup.msi

I am another user like you. 8 Cab files and 3 setup files?  That is a question I cannot answer.

[por930 51]

@fppilot@Jean-Luc Yeah, I guess obvious to some....I will have to have a play. My first guess:

Databases set up first to compile the database into one,

launcher setup to get the old database updated with the new version and then,

GTN setup.

You would think the provision of a simple txt file by authors would not take that much effort for dumb ones like me.

I am not understanding what you have been attempting to accomplish.  Before you started this, what was not satisfying you, and what did you intend to accomplish?  Please do not again repeat steps you have taken.  Those are confusing me.  Just from a point where all seemed well to you, what then did you wish to change, and why.  Just that. No more.  Then as another user I can best understand.

Just running the RXP installer will prompt you to update to the latest trainer and download a small bootstrap installer, which further lets you choose which trainer components to install (this would be GTN + DB minimum, launcher optional). It then downloads and run what is necessary for you automatically.

Hi Frank, as per my first post, I was trying to update the RXP GTN750 and the Trainer database. 

Looking on my system, after several attempts to repair/update, I have RXP and the Trainer in several places,,so a tad messy. 

I will remove all instances of RXP and try Jean-Luc's approach, with a totally clean install.

Again, thanks for assistance.

We're trying hard making our products self-aware and self-assisting so that you don't have to bother. You can see this with the in-sim live panel configuration and device settings, the number of options permitting cockpit integration, the automatic detection of some key settings per-aircraft (like fuel type, V speeds - for the TAWS - , etc...)

This assistance starts with our installers, worth it!

Thanks jean-Luc. I went into all aircraft config with RXP installed and rolled back all installs back to stock gauges and have uninstalled both garmin trainer and RXP. Now cleaning up the many references to RXP,  though maybe a reinstall will simply overwrite any references it finds. 

When I re-install RXP, I will have to use the F1 wrapper system. I am hoping it will load the latest trainer, being 6.63.3, launcher 2.7.0.0, and include DB cycle 1909.

ps. This was all started when I used an aircraft with RXP for the first time in over a year or so, and used little nav map to load a route into the RXP flight plan location, which it did. But RXP could not read it to display the import button( maybe because Little navmap is using Airac 2004 with more fixes) .so, I thought, lets update the trainer and RXP to exclude obvious issues, and go from there.
