  1. Looking forward for the next update and thanks again for your great support !
  2. That's exactly what I needed ! My GNS combo is fitting snugly now 🙂 One last question though : what is the proper RGB or RGBA code # for...no color at all (i.e. full transparency) ? When googling that I only get what the A of RGBA stand for... Thanks for your great support !
  3. Ok Jean-Luc, I grasped the rendering setting section concept thanks to the thread and your manual so, before fiddling with the .ini file I just want to confirm a few points: if I want to move the whole screen down by, let say, 3 pixels I have to resize it with the line « gauge## = File ! Name , x, 3, w, h [,param] ». if I want to move up the bottom of the screen I need to play with the height parameter, something like gauge## = File ! Name , x, y, w, h-3 [,param] , right ? if so, what about the proper screen ratio to respect as per the manual ? Sorry by putting the initial message in the wrong section and thank you for straightening things up !
  4. Hi Jean-Luc, in the GNS manual (page 5) it is said : "In addition, the gauges can be manually configured to reserve and display a surrounding coloured fixed-size border for convenience." So far I succeeded in setting both GNS 530 and 430 into their respective small monitors but, when fullscreened using ALT-ENTER, both GNS screens are a little bit outsizing my frames. So my question regarding the manual configuration you mentionned in the manual (pun intended 😉 ) How can you resize the fullscreen no-bezel window (or add fixed-size border) so as to fit your physical frame ? TIA Francois
  5. Thanks for the explanation Jean-Luc. Here are some pictures of my project. Please keep in mind it is still a work in progress (pedestal below the table not yet bearing the full panel, wet compass just hanging for testing purpose etc...). The general layout : A close-up on your fantastic GNS 530/430 combo: Using the annunciator test : Using the button to inhibit Terrain advisories: Unfortunately, thanks to the current lockup, I can’t go to my nearby FabLab so no more laser engraving for the push buttons (but homemade sticker printing will do fine in the meantime). I’ll eventually open a new thread regarding GNS bezel management and, again, thanks for your support. Francois
  6. Hello Jean-Luc, I wanted to add the extra WAAS and TAWS gauges to my RXP GNS equiped A2A 172 based home cockpit. So I used your rxp.gps.discrete_out variable as a backbone in order to reproduce both the physical annunciators (3D printing is great !) and the logic through Air Manager networked panel. Everything is runnig fine so far (I still have to mount the gages on the actual cockpit panel though) but I have a question for you regarding the "kINSTR_TST">0x00080000< flag. My best guess is that it reveals an internal test in progress and I assume all lights would have to go on when the "INSTR_TST" bit is equal to 1. Can you provide more data on that one ? Thank you in advance, Francois
  7. Thank you so much Jean-Luc, my second unit works great now. Next will be to ensure proper screen positionning on both 4" and 5" LCDs, Promise I will carefully (re)read the user manual before bothering you again 😉. BTW Thanks again for your great customer support !
  8. Hi Guys, bonjour Jean-Luc, I dig up this thread since I'm building a simpit using both GNS 530W and 430W V2 with hardware (rotary encoders, buttons..) connected to an Arduino Mega through Air Manager v3.6. Using P3D events I easily control the GNS#1 (i.e. the 530W) but I struggle on how to control the GNS#2. the "useSimGpsCmds" is set to true on both GNS. I understand n4gix succeded in controling his second unit by using G1000 PFD and MFD events... How did is trick ? Thank you in advance for your help, Francois PS: I would rather avoid to go the XML way since I'm not sure I can handle it through Air Manager...
  9. Hi Cryss and thanks for the free missions pack ! I know the pack is installed but where do we have to click in order to find these missions ? Under the usual "missions" tab I only find the usual ones.... TIA
  10. Hi Guys, Thanks to Kevin and Steve I gave a try in adding IOM into P3Dv4. When I purchased this great scenery from ESI in december 2014 I installed it into P3Dv2 and made ESI-packs. I kept the Hard Drive and use it now in my latest rig as an extra so after installing the v2.5 ESI installer I had a go at reisntalling in a dummy C:\Prepar3D v2 folder. I only got an "effects" subfolder there (?) but managed to make 3 add-on.xml (the first mostly from \Earth Simulations\Backups dealing with effects, sounds, autogen etc., the second installing ESI-3D and ESI-SFX and the third speciffically about IOM - witthout ES-IOM-Langness and ES-IOM-Bungalow because nowhere to be found-). My problem, as far as now, is that I can start P3Dv4 from helipads or EGNS but after a while I get the sim to freeze (no CTD, just freezes and PlanG disconnect...). For example I can fly without problem from IMH5 but when reaching Ramsey the sim hangs up, when starting from EGNS, I can fly over the firemen drilling on the east side of the airport but when reaching the airport bundary everything stops. Any help would be appreciated. Regards, Francois
  11. Thank you Dan, we'll do just just that and let you know...
  12. Unfortunately no: after decompressing the installer just stops and a window pop-up reads: "Installation cannot continue. Your registry does not show a valid Prepar3D(tm) installation location.". In this rig, only P3Dv4.0.23.21468 is installed, and the base installer is titled "for V2 or V3".
  13. Hi Guys, A friend of mine is in the same situation (737 NGX for P3D bought january last year) but when checking on the previous orders page, the only file to download is the "737 NGX Base pack installer for P3D V2 or V3". Where the free P3D v4 upgrade is located ? Does he need to open a ticket with the PMDG support ? Any help appreciated, TIA Francois
