+1 Hi Darryl. Shows you can't beat the real thing, eh ... What's the Nice little 2-seater?! Regards

Been wrestling with this Pin Error problem. Here's where I am at in case it helps ... I have latest NGX fully updated, latest AIRAC cycle 1608, and latest PATC. All as it should be. I get the Pin Error in the approach in this case from NZAA to NZWN when I go to select Arrival Rwy and Star. The NGX is flying a PATC generated FPL. I am forced to manually configure my ILS runway of choice and continue sans ATC. I then decided to cut PATC out of the mix and entered my route manually into the the FMC. Similar but using mainly different waypoints. In this case it all goes normally and a good time was had by all. I am left wondering what is it with PATC? It received the same AIRAC update at the same time as PMDG via the Navigraph Data Mngr. I feel I have narrowed the problem at least in my case. I certainly want to go on using PATC, so I'll carry on fiddling and report in the case of any breakthroughs :0) Gareth Wilkinson LEAL

Ah, that's good news. Thanks very much Jason.

I noticed that this thread started 17 November 2015 and still no KPSP installer. While applauding ORBX's stellar performance with the v3 installers it strikes me as odd that one of the jewel APTS in the FTX crown remains an orphan. Ah well, patience, like hope, springs eternal in the human breast. No pun intended. Gareth

Thanks for your reply. CDU unit? I was simply going by the Carenado Proline 21 User manual that came with the CJ2. Personally I've always used the term 'FMC' as well. After a couple of hours using the CJ2/GTN I think i've managed to answer my own questions. I think I confused the logic by switching too quickly between ILS VLOC approach to GPS using the CDI button and disengaging NAV at various times, purely to try and understand the modes better. As you do. I found the Garmin user guide useful in a basic sort of a way but managed to dig out a couple of excellent videos that weren't around when I purchased the 750 early on. So no worries, case closed. I like the CJ2 a lot and would recommend it. Regards

Hi and thanks Ray. Yes I spotted that the radios work in sync! Am I right about the CDU being disabled due to the GTN? Just so I know my installation is normal. On my first attempt at flying a route (Palm Springs to Sedona) I found tracking the GTN flightplan and Direct-To were a bit unpredictable but that may well have been me. I'll try again shortly. I'm aware there have been some issues with NAV selection but not sure if these had been sorted. Can you tell me the recommended way to use GTN navigation features with the modded CJ2 as it stands? Or maybe there's a tutorial you could point me to. Cheers Gareth

Update seemingly went without a hitch. Very impressed with this so far, much credit to all concerned. I see that there are no live click-spots on my CDU. I suspect this is due to flight planning, comms etc being now handled by the Garmin GTN, with the corresponding Proline functions disabled? The CDU continues to receive/display engine data, and is locked to that screen. Regards

Your constructive inputs are much appreciated. I'll let you know when I've fixed it ;-) Thanks, Gareth Kicking carenavigraph.dll into touch fixed it. Now for the GTN and the modding ...

Hi guys, Just installed the CJ2 and took a trial flight out of FTX Palm Springs. First thing that struck me was the fps at around 8 frames in the VC! Rebooted and tried again. Same. Loaded the NGX and it was up in the usual 40+ fps. Can't be right? Any thoughts gentlemen? Best Gareth Medium strength PC: Intel i2700k at 4.5 GHz; Asus P868; 8GB RAM, GTX 780 OC, all SSD.

Excellent, thanks Jim. Appreciate the recommendation too. I have the GTN P3D version so I'm inclined to run with the CJ2 despite being a Carenado offering. These mods might make all the difference. Best regards, Gareth

Looking for a corporate jet for P3D v3.2 and hit upon this intriguing thread. I gather if I we order from Carenado today we get a 1.1 version with a number of improvements. But I'm not clear about how to install my GTN 750, or where to obtain/install the great Squad mods - or where they fit in now? Can someone kindly point me in the right direction to get the info I need? With thanks in advance .... Gareth LEAL

Thanks, and my apologies Jarkko, this thread slipped off my radar. Really appreciate the trouble you went to in your reply. I honestly believe this topic merits more discussion. Hopefully others will experiment with this great combo and be willing to share their experiences. After a fltsim spring-clean and rebuild I'm about to do just that. Cheers Bryan, you marvel

+ 1 Hi David, your signature bug is annoyingly mesmerising (but good fun!) But it just dawned on me that it is describing the symbol for Infinity. How apposite given its relentless searching, and ours, for flightsim nirvana. We so often arrive back where we started, always looking for something more ... "Dyslexic philosophers of the world untie ..."

I installed the 3.1 Client only and like what I see. Water improved for sure. On reading this helpful thread will no doubt do the same with Content. Thanks. So far only one things appears broken: Flight1 GTN 750. Anyone else got this problem? Cheers, Gareth

Got it! Cheers Bryan. All the best, Gareth
