Thank you very much Jean-Luc! I'm extremely glad that RXP is here for us P3D pilots. Just shot a zero-drama ILS approach into Fairchild Intl (KCLM) in my A2A Cessna 182. Yeah, the eye candy in MSFS is really enticing, but I believe P3D is still where it's at for immersion, especially during IMC. Thank you ATB

I am also very interested in this topic. I'm waiting for that patch before installing P3D v5.4 because I'm too hamfisted to keep the ILS needles lined up when in IMC in my A2A P-51D Civ.

fppilot: Thank you for getting back. I followed your instructions and uninstalled, then reinstalled the Garmin trainer and then the GTN software. That all worked, except that I had to "train" McAfee Total Protection to not mess with the GTN downloads. The install took a while, but went fine. Unfortunately, I got the same exact result - Negative Function. Much checking ensued, and I found that McAfee Total Protection had decided to quarantine rxpGtnSim32.dll. I restored it from quarantine, and it did it again. I re-restored it, and saved a copy somewhere else on my computer, and then added rxpGtnSim32.dll into the exclude from real-time scanning list. I loaded P3D v5, and ... IT WORKS!! I'll bet that I probably could have done that restore and exclude thing without all the uninstalling and reinstalling, but I don't care, long as I have my GTNs back in my fleet. Call me bad, but I even have a 2D version of the GTN 750 in my A2A B-17. Really wicks off the purists. Thank you ATB

It all started when I noticed a problem with the sound levels in P3D v5. In an effort to fix that, I deleted the P3D v5 client and re-installed it from my saved download. No change in the sound problem. Next I deleted two of the folders called out in Prepar3D_Download_and_Install_Instructions_v5, then restarted P3D, figuring the files would rebuild. Same sound problem, but now my GTN 650 and 750 doesn't start when I switch on the avionics in any of my aircraft. Now I've got a workaround for the sound issue, but haven't been able to get my RXP GTNs working. The Garmin Trainer is working fine. I checked the .log files in C:\Program Files (x86)\Reality XP\GTN Simulation\FltSim\64, and they all look good except for this in rxpGtnSim.dll.log: 21/02/06 17:10:57.229 02360 - ] # rxpGtnSim64.dll version 2.5.28.0 21/02/06 17:10:57.228 02360 INFO ] 21/02/06 17:13:04.850 08140 INFO ] GTN 750.1 - TRAINER 6624 21/02/06 17:13:08.142 08140 ERROR] GTN 750.1 process not ready: The specified module could not be found., code: 0000007e 21/02/06 17:13:08.145 08140 ERROR] check if file is missing or your antivirus: C:\ProgramData\Reality XP\rxpGtnSim32.dll Sure enough, that file is not in my C:\ProgramData\Reality XP folder. I'm not sure what that means, but I really miss my GTN. I use it in my MJ C-47 and all my A2A aircraft (except for the Cub, P-40, and Spitfire), and really would like to get it going again. Please help. Thank you ATB

Bill: Thank you for your help on this forum! I now have an operating RXP GTN 750 in my A2A Comanche, and RXP GTN 650 in my A2A Texan! One thing I noticed, however, which is that the mouse wheel frequency changes work in the opposite direction to that in the pop-up instrument. A tiny thing, but I fixed it by opening f1vc.xml with Notepad and changing the four lines in the main section as shown: l0 12 == l0 18 == or if{ l1 8 & (>K:GPS_GROUP_KNOB_DEC) } l0 14 == l0 19 == or if{ l1 8 & (>K:GPS_GROUP_KNOB_INC) } l0 20 == l0 26 == or if{ l1 8 & (>K:GPS_PAGE_KNOB_DEC) } l0 22 == l0 27 == or if{ l1 8 & (>K:GPS_PAGE_KNOB_INC) } Maybe it's just a peculiarity of my computer, I dunno, but now I believe that's as close as I can get until A2A puts out an update with the RXP GTNs. Thank you! Seeya ATB

Bina: Thank you very much for the really cool maps! I will put them to good use. Thank you ATB

I fly out of Arlington Airport (KAWO) in Washington, USA. P3Dv4.1, AS4+ASCA, ORBX, etc. I've been having the same problem, in that I take off from Arlington and all the scenery is white, even though our lowland snow melted a few weeks ago. That is why I checked out this thread on the forum. Then I remembered that I had just flown my A2A Comanche down to Harvey Field and back and the scenery had the typical drab winter look, but the snow was gone. I was flying in actual time (approx. 1300 PST and real weather for that time) and there was no snow. One thing that may (or may not) have had an effect was that I recently deleted all the shader files in this folder: C:\Users\MyName\AppData\Local\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\Shaders, and they were all re-generated when I started AS4 then P3D.

Thank you. It worked for me, also! Seeya ATB

My landing light issue has been resolved! All I had to do was download and install Service Patches 1 and 2 for Flight Sim X! It all started because I wanted a dedicated DC-3 Airways hangar for my DC-3 at her home base, Arlington Airport (KAWO) in Washington State. A fellow pilot on for DCA set me up with the hangar, and, during the process, convinced me that I needed to buy the ORBYX Northwest Area scenery. I bought the DVD and installed it, but the directions said I needed to first install SP-1 and SP-2 for FSX. I did that, installed the scenery, everything worked great, and now I can see when taxiing at night on those remote air strips!Seeya ATB

Guys: I purchased my MAAM DC-3 a few months back. It came with the auto-install feature. It's really great, except for one apparent glitch: The landing lights turn on from the overhead panel, but they don't illuminate the ground in front of the aircraft. The "native" FSX DC-3 lights up the front of the airplane OK. The Cessna 208 is killer! I'd like to go down to the field late one night with a phillips screwdriver and install the landing lights from that Cessna into my MAAM DC-3! Any thoughts or ideas? Seeya ATB
