Does anyone know the gauge name and parameters for this add-on? The download ships with no documentation and the web link is not yet active. Support request submitted. Thanks, Gary

Ed thank you!!

I really enjoy the Mindstar GNS and it's been a great addition to P3D. I'm using v2.5 and have added the Mindstar 430 x 2 to the default P3D Alabeo Beech A36. Both GNS work in VS and both GNS work in popup on the 2D panel using Shift-1 and both units work as advertised, but shift-1 is the only way of opening the 2D panel. In the VC the cursor changes to the hand shape when hovering over the panel, but left/right click has no action. I would like to have the option to click on the VC screen to open the 2D panel, but it's not working. Can anyone assist? Panel settings: [Window Titles] Window00=GNS 430 Window01=Toggle_Manual Window02=Toggle_Control Window03=INFO //-------------------------------------------------------- [Window00] Background_color=49,49,49 size_mm=500,532 window_size_ratio=1.000 position=0 visible=0 ident=11013 window_size= 0.320, 0.444 window_pos= 0.020, 0.505 zorder=1 gauge00=MPI_GNS!GNS430, 2,0,500,266, 1:3:11013 gauge01=MPI_GNS!GNS430, 3,266,500,266, 2:4:11013 //-------------------------------------------------------- The VC option works, the 2D option works, but the popup is elusive. Other Installed aircraft allow popup on click, but for some reason the A36 doesn't. Thanks for your help!!!! Gary

Mark - Select your destination waypoint on the FPL page and enter your route waypoint in its place. Your destination will reappear underneath once ENTER is pressed. There is no airways functionality (or if there is - its not apparent to me), just add each waypoint one at a time. VNAV is not working as it should - pressing NAV or VNAV just swaps NAV to GPS. Every single waypoint needs an appropriate ALT entered into the FMC (no option to leave this blank and climb to cruise - it's a lot of guesswork). There appears to me to be no option to enter an arrival runway even with the 1503 Navigraph update. Good luck with it Mark.

Hi Ryan, yes you can DTO a waypoint in your current plan. If you try to add a waypoint to get a longer run on final, then the whole plan deletes, although the single DTO waypoint works okay. I have managed to get the FPL page to show in flight, but it's still far too buggy. I updated the Navigraph manager and the 1503 upate was loaded, but no runways show for arrival airport - I tried EGCC and EGBB and it's just not working for me. As P3D 2.5 is the current version I'm surprised Carenado released a 2.0 compatible program (if that is the cause - I'm beginning to wonder if it's just a poor release). Nearly forgot - there's no option to add airways routes either. It's getting dangerously close to the 'uninstall a program' button.

Hi CAPFlyer - yes you're right - it says 2.0 compatable not 2.5. Always read the small print.... Ah well, back to the hanger with it. I've raised a support ticket with Carenado.

I got it - more bugs than I can count. Navigraph doesn't recognise the Carenado Citation, so it doesn't update (yet). Adding a DTO waypoint not in the flight plan will erase your flight plan. The fuel remaining shows a fluctuating total running into 6 figures. The NAV button doesn't show any leg info, it switches the HSI from NAV to GPS. You cannot access your FPL legs in flight, instead you get just a summary page. It's nice to see your flight plan added to the HSI and see traffic displayed, the terrain works, but I was not able to get the Wx displayed but I'm sure I'll be able to work it out. Worth the money? - Well you've bought the Citation already so it's worth the extra, but it's still needing a huge amount of work. No obvious documentation with it, but it installed okay into my P3D v2.5. Gary

I didn't know there was a click spot for it. I will revisit and attempt to find it. Thanks for letting me know!!

Can right click spots on the throttles be added to shut the engines down? Autopilot issues as above, however improvement when used with the F1 GTN750 (P3Dv2) as a popup gauge. Unable to select 2 digit NDBs on FMC - when selecting first two letters of ADF ident, the FMC predicts a 5 letter waypoint. Unable to remove the last 3 unwanted letters. I do like the aircraft - I didn't like the price, but I went for it as I'm a Citation fan. Flies well, looks great but needs a lot of work with the FMC functionality.

Good news indeed - I'm not on FB or Twitter, so thanks for the news update!!!

Does anyone know whats happened to the Cessna 207? Its looked close to release for months on the Incomings page, but sadly no further news. I hope nothing too major is holding up the release.

Update - Apparently Xtreme Prototypes are having some server migration issues, should be sorted in a day or two.

If you're running in DX10 mode tooltips vanish (no idea why). Try DX9 mode and see if that brings them back.

If Affinity Mask=14 is the only change you have made, I would delete FSX.cfg and allow FSX to rebuild it. Then, instead change MaxTextureLoad to 4096 (from 1024) and add HighMemFix=1 to Graphics. Other than that, leave the config file well alone, you PC shound create the correct settings when the fsx.cfg file is rebuilt. Hope this helps you, Regards Gary
