February 21, 20215 yr Hello Jezzawolf Not sure if I will be of any help as I do not have this aircraft to test. Is this the X-Plane 11 version...Alabeo, C177 CARDINAL II XP11https://store.x-plane.org/C177-CARDINAL-II-XP11-_p_873.html If so, it is RealityXP GTN750 compatible out of box but not for the GTN650. I do not know of any package for the GTN650 bezel integration which means this will be a stock X530 screen real estate grab. Screen co-ordinates can be done a few ways but are usually safer in PANELS for a highjack of a X530 with reference to a PANEL3D for a placement into panel bezel art. Some aircraft are cranky and require initial draw to WINDOW, PANELS and in the PANELS, use draw to PANEL3D. Your ini is a bit different so we will use what you have for now. From your image and the image I have attached via link..., you are highjacking a X530 screen area and the co-ordinates are not quite there. Cardinal 177 panel X-Plane 11 Note 1) The GTN series is wider than the GNS/stock x530/430. 2) Screen to width ratio of a GTN650 is higher than the X530 area to be acquired. 3) The GTN height is less than the height of the x530 In summary...width crunch and height stretch for distortion. You would have a visual in panel but the popup/popout would be much better to control functions. The Best option is the GTN750, by far but if you want to make the GTN650 placed into the x530 screen area, you can do this. You have some work to do...Redo the co-ordinates and be sure.. Go to... RealityXP all platform manuals/drivers downloadshttp://reality-xp.com/support/trainingcenter/userguides/index.html download...GNS 530/430W V2 (XPlane) manual page 24 of 26 is a tutorial for a Baron 58 GNS...the steps apply to all highjacks. Take note...Start X-Plane 11, choose the Cardinal 177, on a ramp spot, cold and dark...need sunlight to see though. Turn on the aircraft battery and avionics...we want the x530 screen illuminated for capture and a bright screen area shown...color as much as possible.. Do the CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+SPACE to generate the Panel_Preview.png Open the C177 Panel_Preview.png with "Paint". Zoom in as much as possible to get good x,y numbers for top left and bottom right...take your time. Determine the image size by moving the cursor top to bottom, it will be 1024 for 1Kpx, 2048 for 2Kpx or 4096 for 4Kpx. Compute dimensions as in step 8 but use the measured height...if you had 4K, use the 4096 for the equations. Once you have the numbers...put them in the ini in this order left,top,width,height [GTN_650_1.PANEL3D] visible = true frame.rect = left,top,width,height nobezel = true frame.type = PANEL3D In the spoiler, I have left the process that I used to generate the co-ordinates for placement of two GTN750's into Stingrays DHC-7 which had 2 units of x530's. Just an example to help... If the above is no help...print it off and line the bottom of your bird cage with it...j/k Spoiler X-Plane Garmin 530 coordinates DHC-7 dual X-Plane 11 Garmin 530s Cockpit Instrument Panel resolution to 4K 1024 x 4 = 4096px ------------------ unit #1, left center console X1=100 Y1=1355 X2=412 Y2=1589 left=X1=100 top=(png height)-Y1=4096-1355=2741 width=(X2-X1+1)=412-100+1=313 height=(Y2-Y1+1)=1589-1355+1=235 left,top,width,height 100,2741,313,235 ------------------- unit #2, right center console X1=1030 Y1=1355 X2=1345 Y2=1589 left=X1=1030 top=(png height)-Y1=4096-1355=2741 width=(X2-X1+1)=1345-1030+1=316 height=(Y2-Y1+1)=1589-1355+1=235 left,top,width,height 1030,2741,316,235 --------------------- Edited February 21, 20215 yr by Draggendrop spelling
