Yes I tried reinstalling both the plane and the Navigraph with the same result. The frame rate is very low. Sometimes between 1 and 5. Without the Navigraph it is close to 30 FPS. Not sure what to do. It is working for some people. I have tried down loading it again with the same result. I wonder if Carenado can help. I do like this plane.

I have been flying this plane fairly good with Reality RXP 530XP installed. When the new Navigraph FMS came out I downloaded to try it out. After installation, I am only getting around 5 or less FPS. Other planes as my PC-12 are getting 25 to 30 frames per second. This is a major problem. With the Navigraph Extension Pack it is not flyable. Please any suggestions to correct this. It seems that it is working pretty well for some people. Appreciate any imput or suggestions. Thanks, chas

Has anyone installed the Reality GNS 530XP in the PMDG JS4100? If so, How did it work?

Hi Bert, I have been trying to install two GNS430 XP's in the A36. I just reached the same conclusion that you have been trying to tell me. (It finally sunk in). You only get two of the same unit even if I can install both the 530 and 430 in the Cessna 210. I think I will just try and install one GNS530XP in the Bonanza A36. I think I prefer the 530 over the 430. Did you try the 530XP in the Bonanza A36? I know there are some planes...............ie the Duke which I know I will eventually get , that have two of the same units installed in its panel. Does only one work unless you buy the unlimited pack? Sounds like you have purchased the unlimited pack and the duke. I guess I may have to do that also............it just seems like a lot of money. My conclusion is that if you want two GPS XP units in the Duke you would have to go with the "Unlimited" also. I am not sure if there are any other planes that have both GNS430 and GNS530 installed in the panel similar to the Cessna 210, do you know of any? I have a nice plane I got a few years ago from AOPA, a Cessna Cardinal 177, it has four GPS's installed in the panel. I think I may have a look at installing a 530 and a 430 in that plane. There should be room in the panel. Thanks for the info on the dimensions and I will look into FSX SDK. I copied it off the disk the other day but I have not yet looked into it. chas

Hi Bert, Many thanks to you. Your comments have helped me to understand a little more of the logic behind these panel designs. In the Cessna T210 I now have two separate GPS units installed in the panel. One GNS530XP and one GNS430XP. They work independlly of each other. If you enter the same flight plan in both of the units. You can monitor two different screens as you fly which is helpful. I hope I can do the same for the A36 Bonanza which can have two GNS430XP units installed in the panel. I am going to work on that next. And now I can popup each unit separately by clicking on the respective GPS screen and you can resize them as needed. I had to add a separate window for each unit in the panel file. GPS1 and GPS2 ie....the 530 and the 430. I had to make sure the pop up ident number matched the one in the RXPGNS.INI file. Plus I slashed out with //// back slashes on the toggle lines that are not needed. Now I will work on some of the other problems in my other planes. I have about five different Carenado planes I am working on. It helped me alot to take each plane and write down how the were behaving. Then I can address each plane. Can you please tell me the logic of the dimensions used in the panel file for sizes of the unit....as in height, length, width, etc. I have been experimenting but not sure what is what. Thanks so much for all of your help. cheers, Charles

I saw your post on this topic............I am having the same problem with the trim on my Saitek yoke. It was so bad that today I ordered the Saitek trim wheel hoping that it would improve the trim adjustments. I would like to make this change also...........I found the Standard.xml file in the Microsoft Flight Simulator folder. I do not know how to make changes to this file..........could you please explain. Do you have to copy the whole file into note pad and make changes there and then change it back to an XLM file. I am very new at this file management but ....you can make a lot of improvements with this knowledge. thank you Bert., chas

Hi Bert and thanks for your reply. I have both the GNS 430XP and GNS 530XP. I have not yet managed the $100 Unlimited pack. I installed one of each, in the Cessna 210. They worked pretty good but you have to install the Flight Plan in both units. I would like to install two of the GNS 430XP units in the A36 in a similar fashion to the C210. Lately, I am having a little problem in the 210...........I am only getting a popup of the GNS530XP. The GNS430XP will not popup and will not take commands by clicking on the unit in the panel.. The 530 will popup very well so that is the one I am using right now. I think this could be solved but I am not real sure how. I would really like to have separate popups if that is possible. If you could help me with the A36, I could probably apply that to the Cessna 210 in a similar fashion since I understand that you do not own the Cessna T210. I read somewhere that it may be better to install them manually rather than use the "Reality XP integration with 3D Gauges"application". But, I am not sure how valid that comment is...........maybe you know for sure. Also I am not sure how to send a PM. Would greatly appreciate any help you could offer. Thanks much, chas

I am planning on getting this plane. I would like to install two of the Reality XP 430 GNS units in the panel. Is this possible to do with this plane? Can I use the Carenado "Reality XP integration with 3D Gauges"application to install the units or is it better to install the files manually? Has anyone done this and how is it working? Can you popup the units together or separately? Thanks very much for your response. chas

Hello Bert Pieke,Hi. I got the Carenado Cessna 337 and It is a very nice plane.I have been trying to install your suggested modifications to the autopilot including the Autopilot remote pitch control. I have tried following your directions several times but can not get it to show up on the panel. Plus the pop ups on the Reality XP GNS530 WASS GPS are not working right. Can not seem to sort that out either.Maybe you can help me sort it out............others have got it working with no problems.cheers,chas

Please, someone give me a clue were to find the parking brake.Thanks,chas
