Spent a lot of time looking at this, following tutorial. no luck.

The plane I use is XP11 C172 with single GNS 430 (XP11 C172 GNS430 + Comm/Nav Stack - General Aviation - X-Plane.Org Forum).

The plane is identical to stock XP11 C172 but only has one GPS unit. When I look at cockpit image, there is no difference from stock C172. Plane Maker shows the same location. However, applying the same settings as for stock 172 does not work, and moving it up does not work either. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for help, DK

and here is one of the attempts:

[GNS_430_1.GNS1]
; display window if true.
visible = true 
; show screen only gauge if true.
nobezel = true 
; display type: WINDOW,PANEL2D,PANEL3D,PANELS
frame.type = PANEL3D
; display position and dimension (left,top,width,height)
; frame.rect = 1,648,430,230
frame.rect = 1,648,430,230
; screen only border size (pixels).
border.size = 0
; screen only border color (#RGB or #RGBA).
border.rgba = #000000
; enable mouse clickspots if true, disable if false (use SHIFT to override)
usemouse = true 
; left mouse button on the screen toggles popup window if true.
popleft = false
; right mouse button on the screen toggles popup window if true (requires XP11.1).
popright = true 
autohide = false

 

Hi,

With the tutorial located here and the cockpit_3d\-PANELS-\Panel.png file included with the aircraft, you can measure the following for the smaller rectangle (the one to the right is the smallest and most likely for the 430):

x1,y1 = 522 , 1
x2,y2 = 950, 240

Doing the Maths:

top = 1024 - 1 = 1023
width = 950 - 522 + 1 = 430
height = 240 - 1 + 1 = 240

Gives:

frame.rect = 522, 1023, 430, 240
