While the RXP officially supports and updates to the latest garmin trainer. Again just my opinion take it or leave it. 100% Correct.. RXP all the way.
March 5, 20215 yr Although the F1 GTN's were working fine in P3D V5.1 for me I decided to make use of the discounted price on the RXP products. I initially had some issues with my antivirus software complaining about some RXP files it is now working well and I am very impressed by all the configurations options and the tool to replace the F1 gauges with RXP gauges.

The pricing does confuse me or am I being simple today? If I want 2x 750's do I need to buy that twice? Or will one purchase allow me to have 2 of the same unit in a panel? It's $60 for both the 750 and 650? How does the replacement tool work? Kevin Firth - AMD 9800X3D; Asus Prime X670E; 64Gb Cas30 6000 DDR5; RTX5090; AutoFPS

Just to let everyone know I don't even bother with the replacement tool, well except for the A2A 182, on every other plane what I do is use space deck and just use the RXP pop out and move it onto my 10" touch screen tablet.

Just get 1, RXP gives you the option to bundle a 2nd unit.. 650 for $24.95 which is great value for money, And why would you want 2 750's in your panel doing the same thing twice? Take a look through the forum here The support is fantastic and you will need a basic understanding of panel cfg's and how to edit them to fully enjoy the replacement tool. It's very intuitive and easy to do. Edited March 5, 20215 yr by RW1

I have not tried a 2 x 750 panel but it seems to be possible, someone please correct me if I am wrong. The answer came as I was typing. The $60 gives you both the 750 and 650 gauges, I see the discount offer has been extended. The replacement tool is in the P3D Add-ons menu. It detects any F1 GTN gauges and gives a few options on how the replacement is handled while making a backup of your existing config. Works very well and it comes with a detailed manual.

March 6, 20215 yr Same here, I switched to RXP unit because of poor Flight1 response to new Prepar3d versions. Now up to date. PierreP3D when its freezing in Quebec....well, that's most of the time...C-GDXL based at CYQB for real flying when its warming up...

Someone in this thread also asked why you would want two GTN's in your cockpit? Well, on one I can have it on the map display, on the other I can have the flight plan, or other stats.
