RAS Turbine Duke Panel Mod questions

Featured Replies

Hi guys. I just went through this forum for almost a day, tried everything single thing I could possibly try, and failed every single time to get the GTN750 running in the  RealAirTurbine Duke v2 in FSX:AccPack. I'm extremely frustrated but I can't change the fact, that outside of installing some simple mods everything more complex is beyond my capabilities. So I hope someone can explain to me in a very simple way, how I can get this nice kit from RXP running in my Turbine Duke.

Thank you people in advance.

Hi Thommas.  I have some information I can send you.  It is a guide put together by someone else but it may help you.  Please send me a private message here on Avsim and provide a good email address.  I will attempt to send it to you.  It is a pdf file.

@pilotmarcog For some reason with the Duke Turbine the lower GTN is darker than the upper one is.

The only mistake in your panel.cfg is the missing (NO_BEZEL) for the 650.

Copy and paste (replace all) the following to your panel.cfg.

Open RealityXP.GTN.ini in the aircraft folder and copy and paste all of the following. This will improve the brightness of both gauges. Also you can right click in the gauge screens to open the popups.

Just found your post, I just migrated to the RXP GTN 750 since F1 no longer updates and your mods were quite a time saver.

I used the exact same mods in my RealAir Legacy Lancair and they worked there just as well and the Duke Turbine.

The only issue I see is the knobs, home and direct to buttons don't work on the bezel but work fine in the pop-up window. 

I just used the GTN 750 portions and I modify visible=1 to always_visible=1 so the pop-up stays when I toggle to external views.

Thanks for the detailed post that is still going strong!!

Joe

All worked perfect it just took me a little hunting in the manner to figure out how to get to the settings page using the "shift + right mouse click" on the upper edge of the pop out screen.

Thanks again I was able to make the mods to my RealAir Duke Turbine and Legacy Lancair as well my A2A Comanche to now get all the knobs and buttons working on the bezels!

My A2A C172 worked without the mods as it was pretty much plug and play with the GPS A2A configuration tool.

I've added the pop out screens to most all of my other aircraft and all is good I'm glad to see Reality XP still supporting P3D !
