no bezel GNS500_2 VC install Real Air Legacy P3Dv4.5

[mslim 12]

I've inserted the GNS500 into the VC of the RA Legacy as a no_bezel. It is basically working but it is a bit oversize and is cropping the display. (Is there a way to insert a screen cap here?)

I tried reducing the 3rd and 4th parameter by 10% hoping to shrink the display but it didn't seem to work. Please excuse my "thickness" as I am new to this.

gauge19=rxpGNS2!GPS_500_2, 1,607,451,374,NO_BEZEL //502,416,
gauge20=RASLegacy!Blank, 0, 0, 1, 1

Here is the pertinent .ini :

Try these.
For No Bezel - gauge19=rxpGNS2!GPS_500_1, 41,650,368,275,NO_BEZEL

With Bezel - gauge19=rxpGNS2!GPS_500_1, -60,612,570,421

Thanks that helped make it smaller. Now the display needs to drop (South) a little and move right (East) a little to center in the screen.

The four values are X,Y,W,H

X is the horizontal location of the upper left corner (East = increase X)

Y is the vertical location of the upper left corner (South = increase Y)

W is the width,  H is the height.

This is what mine looks like. You'll have to tweak yours. I'm curious if the sim screen resolution effects this. Mine is set at 3840x2160.

Thanks for the help. I got mine dialed in finally thru a lot of trial and error but the XYWH coordinates helped a lot.

My resolution is 1920x1080 and here is my panel config line if it helps anybody else:

gauge19=rxpGNS2!GPS_500_2, 44,650,366,273,NO_BEZEL //1,607,502,416,

Bert and RXP now that I am more familiar with the forum, I have posted my solution in the Panel Config thread.

I was looking at your solution for the Real Air Piston Duke to make the VC buttons for GNS500 functional in the cockpit. Is there a way to do that for the Lancair?
