Unfortunately, I doubt that is going to happen. Unless you can just 'cover up' something on the panel, I think integrating a GTN 750 into an existing VC panel would require remodeling the panel. I'm not a modeler, but it seems to me that would require access to the VC interior model source code, which I assume is not easily available. Perhaps someone with modeling experience can comment.

I wanna say that someone on the FBW team (Airbus mod) is making a way to import and export these models to blender or something.  It would probably limit usage to standard MSFS Version.

I have been using this and it works great. The only problem is that, if I create a flight plan while on the monitor and then shift into VR, that flight plan disappears. I have to redo it while in VR. I wrote to him about that.

I really love the GTN750 but for me it is too unstable at the moment, too much beta problems.. Had CTD when clicking on charts options, had to reconnect Navigraph some times, CTD spontaneous and CTD while looking up charts for EHBK and then is told me there are no charts, but there are a lot in Navigraph app itself. This was with the GTN750 in the JF Piper Arrow.

 

PS I used the PMS50 files I downloaded this afternoon, basic and premium and activated today, and reactivated also.

I agree, this mod will hopefully be superb when they have fix all the bugs, but in current state it is unusable, at least for me with JF Arrow, I get random CTD all the time.

I have been under the impression for a while now that Asobos refusal to release a full SDK is perhaps because the core product at this time cannot provide what is needed in order to get full featured GPS/autopilot capabilites.  That would likely be highly obvious to knowledgable and proven developers in very quick order if the full SDK was out out there.  So what we are left with are methods to jury-rig what portions can be modeled.  The jury-rigging does not seem to overcome inherent instabilities as a result.

Same problem here. Whenever I start the engine, go to settings, or enter / leave VR, I lose the flight plan. Shame, because it's really good otherwise.

Any idea how I can report this, because I can't see where to go when it sends me to Discord? (And what an apt title for such an unfriendly messy user interface).
