June 23, 20205 yr Hello all, I just purchased the 530W and 430W. Something I've noticed is that this dataref (sim/cockpit2/radios/indicators/gps_nav_id) gets strange value once you select a Master GNS device. Here is an example of the strange I refer to... Set one of the GNS devices to Master GNS "Direct to" set to "KYIP" sim/cockpit2/radios/indicators/gps_nav_id = +42-84 Normally, this dataref would be "KYIP". When I turn off master on the GNS device and use the simulator's G1000 to set "Direct to" as "KYIP" Set none of the GNS devices to Master Cockpit's G1000 used to set "Direct to" as "KYIP" sim/cockpit2/radios/indicators/gps_nav_id = KYIP What is causing this? -- I'm using all default settings. ________________________ Best regards, Mark Edited June 23, 20205 yr by RXP
June 23, 20205 yr Hi, the dataref is reporting whatever is the next waypoint in the stock FMS/GPS route. Unfortunately the XP11 SDK doesn't offer any mean for 3rd party plugins to update the route with custom names unless using waypoints that are in the XP11 DB already and are at the exact same location as the ones from the GNS/GTN. Until XP11 developers consider this important a feature, and they have time to devote to this, this is a limitation of X-Plane 11. You can use our own published dataref though if you can manage to change the dataref this instrument is using.
June 23, 20205 yr Author Thanks for the great feedback. I found this solution (which aligns to your suggestion) from the manual, under datarefs and commands. I'll use the following it in my Air Manager gauges (PDF and MDF I created for my 2003 SR22, which uses older Avidyne equipment)... xpl_dataref_subscribe("RXP/radios/indicators/gps_nav_id", "STRING", RXP-ID_callback) This is good enough for me, as I don't use the simulators gauges. Additional point... Would be great if the DataRefTool would identify the RXP drefs and commands, but it doesn't seem to unfortunately. Thanks again for the quick response !
June 23, 20205 yr dataref editor is supporting them, because there is a documented way (message passing) to register our own datarefs. is there a similar way with datareftool?
June 23, 20205 yr Author Figured it out... Thank you. Went into Plugin dropdown menu, selected DataRefTool, then "Impersonate DRE (requires reload)". Then reloaded plugins and bang... RXP datarefs and commands showed up ! ! ! Thanks for the directional support. Edited June 23, 20205 yr by Pattism
