GTN750 Integration with FJS 727

[julianomayer 0]

Hi all, is that possible to someone share a guide to how to put the 3d objects of the GTN on 3d cockpit, I am struggling to do that . I want to put on the FJS 727 v3, and I have some pictures of a real 727 with GTN 750. Thank you in advance.

I second that!

That may or may not be possible.. it very much depends on the panel model for the airplane.

Ideally, you would find a gauge that you can replace, and that offers you enough space in the panel to fit the GTN750..

I do not own that airplane so cannot say if this could be accomplished..

Second question is if the autopilot is willing to work with the GTN gauge.. again, aircraft dependent.

Thank you for your reply. 

For the first question, I tried to follow this guide, but there is no gauges in the picture generated (or I did something wrong, the picture was weird).

The answear for the second question, GTN in 2d pop up window works flawless with the FJS 727 Autopilot.

I tried to replace the FMC obj files with the GTN750 3d obj in planemaker and it kind of worked(In planemaker the GTN750 3d obj showed up instead of the fmc), but when I loaded in X-Plane, there was just an empty space with the FMC screen and invisible buttons. I tried to this because I didnt now how to calculate the coordinates to put in another place.

Finally, here is a video taken this month of a real 727 with GTN750 flying in Brazil.

Update: I was messing around in AC3D and I was able to put the 3d obj files of the GTN 750 in the FJS 727, I just dont know how to put the actual "screen" of the GTN. If anybody could give me some hints, would be appreciated.

I've chosen to put in the right side to preserve the FMC and Civa.

If you know the location of the gauge, you should be able to add a gauge line in the panel.cfg file... such as:

gaugeXX=rxpGTN!GTN_750_1,  X, Y, W, H, NO_BEZEL

X,Y is the location of the upper left corner of the screen

W,H are the width and height in pixels

@Bert Pieke This is the X-Plane forum and unfortunately it is not the same.

@julianomayer Rendering the GTN into the 3D cockpit requires having an area in the panel.png panel texture to render to. Should you add your own .OBJ with the bezel and the screen polygon I believe the screen polygon should also map to the panel.png texture (UV mapping?). Once you have such area available and mapped on the polygon, you can then configure the RealityXP.GTN.ini file so that the GTN device renders its screen onto that texture area (frame.rect = )

nice post

I love that 727 config

Hi Guys ! 

Integration was made by a friend of us (Der fuchs & me) with GTN725 & 625, as in the real one. I sent a PM to FJS to know if they're ok with this, to share the mod. Wait & See.

[Der Fuchs 68]

yep, it's working perfectly

[Saul500NE 7]

Nicelly, nicelly done!

Hi, guys,
I was amazed by the panel, it was really the same as the company of Total Cargo that flies in Brazil, Is it possible for our friends @Der Fuchs and @Cedric Hunter to share this beautiful work with me?
I would love to test this panel on my FJS B727.

Tks!

[Der Fuchs 68]

as we had to modify some original files from the Fjs727 to integrate the GTN, we are waiting there authorisation to share with everyone.
