I like what I see and would also be interested in the other screens that show engine information as well. I personally would be more products... I spend a lot of time flying Payware aircraft in P3D v. 4.5 and the Reality-XP products works so well, I will buy more...

So, both the PilotEdge and vPilot operate the same and use simconnect to communicate. We are using FSUIPC offsets setup by old Squawkbox to control. According to Keith (PE) there are just the two modes off and mode C. There is probably a way to change over to using just simconnect, but that is beyond my abilities. I would personally contact the developer of vPilot and maybe talk to him about doing a direct simconnect version. It would be nice if it also did the other two modes GND and the other mode C.

The LUA script above seems to show how it was coded in this aircraft, so that this aircraft writes FSUIPC offsets when the user is pressing the gauge buttons. You might take a similar approach to directly write the GTN simvars instead, or, you can make a LUA script which main loop just 'synchronizes' the GTN and FSUIPC based on reading/writing the FSUIPC offsets on one hand and the GTN simvars on the other hand. I wish I could help more with this but I can't for now. The basics are easy though thanks to our simvars and their bi-directional sync nature. Hi, I wanted to get back to you on all this. The script provided by bbuckley is the only known way to get the GTNs to communicate thru FSX/P3D to either the vPilot or PilotEdge (P3D version). I have been running it now for several days and it works wonderfully. As far as the two clients, if it doesn't work in vPilot, it's not going to be any different in PilotEdge as they are both written by the same person. Really the biggest differences is in the PE program there is no ATC list, and no Chat/Text box, and they use different codex. They can be used on the same computer at the same time. So, if you have any questions about how either one works just contact the developer for vPilot. There is a private group creating there own VatSim client called swift (that to me is way over the top with complication), but it could be possible with that to have TX/RX Lights and more then two squawk modes (on and off). I really do want to thank you for a great product and would hope you can keep it great as long as there are simmers out there. My next step is to get the RealSimGear Panels and mount them into my home cockpit (based on a Cessna PIT). Thanks again....

if you'd like to get ahold of Keith of PilotEdge, I'm on the Discord for them and can send him a message, if you'd like to provide a means for him to reply? I'm currently working to figure out the scripting, sorry that FSX/P3D doesn't support this natively, but being I was one that was behind getting the new PE client, and know it works the same as vPilot... Shouldn't be hard for me to get this going for both clients.... You have been great help. I have one last question being we are talking about the GTN and stuff, are you planning to bring any other Garmin Aviation type systems to P3D? Thanks for all your help and some great software to work with. Was wondering if there is any plans to make the gages that comes with the gtn trainer work for us in P3dv4? I would find them very handy.

Sorry, was looking for the FSUIPC offset not the command sent from the GTN software.

I have searched hi and low... I can't find it again, but maybe I am missing something, but I could am sure I had read that one could link the flight plan in the GTN 750 with a GTN 650 install and active on the same aircraft, so I wouldn't have to put in the routes in both. I found the button in System - Setup to CROSSFILL but it's greyed out. Is there some setting or something I'm missing to make this work? Thanks....

Sorry to be a pest, but what would the variable be for the IDENT anyone know? just wondering as I could always add that in if I want. Thanks.

I get it, and will work on it and see what I can come up with. Thanks.

Didn't mean it negatively, I think the RXP version of the 750 is the best. With true support for the external button control. I am buying the GTN 650 to pair up with my 750 tomorrow, so that I can use both together. I do a lot of sim flying and enjoy having a realistic GPS program. Ok let me do this and see if this will give me a response like I think it will. So if I take His LUA example and replace avi_switch with rxp.transponder.mode would this send the program a 1 for active and a 0 for de-active? I would like to see if I can get this working... This summer I'll be buying the realsimgear GTN750, and mounting these in my Home Cockpit, and would like to have this program run the client. I like using pilotedge and sense they are using just about the same program as vpilot and they both take the same fsuipc commands to work... There is no Ground or Altitude modes with either service...

Darn, so the RXP people don't want to support FSUIPC? well, what you gave is way better then the F1 people. Now with that out of the way, this is for the LUA script people, is there a good example of the script to take the RXP modes and send then out thru FSUIPC? By the way, vpilot and the new version of pilotedge client (basically a special version of vpilot) will use the fsuipc codes that squawkbox used. I can program buttons to change these, but would like to just change them in this program.

I've had some issues along those lines too. Not able to calculate TOD, way too high of altitude when giving the hand off to Tower and allowed for final. Seems the program can't do vectored approaches at all. I've tired them into Anchorage, Seattle, and many other locations including Hawaii. Just went into Lihue and the approach sent me over the airport, then it would be vectors to final, I was at 10,000 flying over the airport, and instead of vectors, I was handed off to Tower and given cleared for landing. I had to vector myself, and land. Also, there is no text way of telling the tower that your clear of the runway, or if there is, I can't find it. You know I have already paid my $60 and am happy to help, but would like to see updates happen a bit more often. Maybe even little fixes every so often would be great. I think this program has a lot of potential but is missing so much right now...

I bought this program from the get go on advice from a friend, and for $60.00 I want more, sorry... so here is the bugs I notice. First I'm running it on a windows 7 computer (64bit) with very little else running. Don't run anything on the P3D computer. When on a flight that is of any length, as in 2 hours, it will die, as in it will no longer do hand off or frequency changes, or anything. If I shut it down, open it back up and reload the flight plan, it will have strange errors on approach. Also, when it does work thru the whole flight, (I did a three hour flight from Yellow Knife (Northwest Territories, Canada) to Anchorage, Alaska and using a vector approach, it had me at 10,000 feet, 20 miles and cleared for ILS approach to RWY 15. It happened again at Seattle KSEA airport. Some times when I arrive at an airport, land, I can't get it to change to ground and give me taxi instructions. Other wise I think this program has some great potential, need to clean up the interface a bit soon, as it takes a long time to do anything from opening the program to connecting to the sim or loading a flight plan. Thanks so far.

I've had this program for the last couple weeks, have tried it out in several different situations, and now I think I can give my input. I think it's good, not great, not really worth the $60 I paid, but there is hope for this. I have it working great on another computer using FSUIPC/WideFS/WideClient to send the push to talk. The Microsoft side of things isn't perfect, but this seems to work ok. After a long flight the ATC seems to have problems, mainly once on the ground and it isn't transferring over to ground. Or doing more then one leg, it seems to have some difficulties. As far as controlling all AI traffic, that would be cool, but maybe a feature for the future. As far as the interface, it seems slow, maybe there is just too much for the computer I have it running on, it's a I5 with 64bit Windows 7. My question is: is there more voice options in windows 10 or is it still only one? I hope that you will keep working on this and of course let us know when there is an update (thru it would be cool)... Thanks for the program and have a nice day.
