Is the above your mod, or a mod from SWS?

The manual says that you have to choose at install. Switching would mean uninstall / reinstall.. unless you choose via Addons Linker.  The marketplace may not give you the option..

OK, finally got all three mods installed and the TDS GTN750 is on the panel without me having to modify any panel.cfg files.  Thanks for your updates on the plane. And you are correct, the MarketPlace did not offer any install options.

Is there any indication on the RV14A panel that tells you what your current flap setting is? If there is I can't seem to find it -- maybe time for new eyeglasses?

Have to say, these two Vans are great. I think these might be the best spyware deals  I’ve ever had in flight sim.

Only if you are using Bert's mod, it will show the flap setting on the ESI500. Unfortunately Bert's ESI500 disables the gauge's menu though, so we can't check battery status and the other features the original ESI500 has on that menu. I'm still thinking if I keep it or go back to the default ESI500.

There is a trim indicator on the PFD, under the speed tape.

That was for performance reasons.. you can merge the two if you prefer..

Yes Bert, that's what I thought. I managed to merge yours with default to make it work with the PMS50 GTN in WTT mode and keep the ESI500 menu.

Now I need to try to make your G3X mod compatible with this so I get that RA on the PFD. The ESI500 part is done.

Thanks.

That is not in the mod, I believe... It is a setting in one of the cfg files.. I learned this trick from the Gotfriends guys who used it in their Monster Cub.. and cannot recall offhand where it was.. I'll try to look for it.. 😟

Found it, I think... In the panel.xml file, add a line

<Instrument>
        <Name>AS3X_Touch_1</Name>
        <SyntheticVision>True</SyntheticVision>
        <ReversionaryMode>False</ReversionaryMode>
        <RadarAltitude>True</RadarAltitude>

I noticed that when the flaps are all the way up, there is no flap display at all on the ESI500. Displaying a zero or "UP" might be good I think, although that's just personal preference.

Hey Bert, do you know if there is any way to make the PFD options stick so I don't have to change them every time I load the plane? I mean the CDI source, bearing pointers, wind vector, it isn't saving them.

Thanks.
