  1. Can't download this update. My browser says "This can not be downloaded securely"
  2. I find it strange that no one from MCE has responded to this post. This has been going on for a couple of weeks now and I submitted two support tickets at the website about this problem, but I haven't heard a word from MCE, which is very unusual. Do you suppose then entire staff has been kidnapped? (most likely on vacation). Jim in Ohio
  3. I install ALL flight plans for the CRJ in the same folder, besides if it was a permissions thing I would get a Windows protection error popup.
  4. Maybe I should have made one thing clear from the start, but I don't use the Steam version MSFS2020. My MSFS2020 is from the Microsoft Store and I'm using the HP Reverb G2 headset running WMR. It appears to me that the OVR Toolbox is intended for Steam users. Am I mistaken?
  5. Thanks Blast3d. I'll check that out right now.
  6. Restarting FSUIPC definitely solves the problem. I make it a point now to always restart FSUIPC just before launching p2a. I imagine that the text in the status panel saying that it is connected means that it is only connected to FSUIPC but the green light means it is actually connected to the A/C.
  7. How do I save a flightplan in p2a? No problem exporting it, but if I choose SAVE (.vbf file) then pick the location and click SAVE, nothing is saved. I go back to the saved location and there is no vbf file there. Is there a specific location it must be filed in? Jim in Ohio
  8. Restarting the PC does fix the issue. I didn't try rebooting FSUIPC, which would be a lot faster. I can recreate the same scenario by shutting down P2A after I've already got it connected, then restarting it then try to connect. I get the same condition. The panel says it is connected but there's no green light and it's not really connected. Is this normal?
  9. I have been experiencing issues whereas P2A fails to fully connect to the Aerosoft CRJ. I do not load P2A until the flight is fully loaded in the sim, but when I push the CONNECT button, I get the panel messages saying it is connected, and my call sign is shown but the button doesn't turn green nor the PWR button although the Master Battery is on. I've been having this problem intermittently but this morning I can't get it to work at all even after 3 complete FS shutdowns and starting whole process over. Any suggestions? My next step is going to be restarting the PC to see if something is stuck somewhere.
  10. Thank-you Sir... I'll check it out. So far, what I'm finding out is that options are rather limited for doing what I want to do when using WMR. It is possible to bring 2d windows into VR using WMR's "Follow Me" function, but it gets complicated when using the mouse between the desktop window and the VR window. It still might work for me though, since I don't need to use the mouse in the desktop as I'm only viewing the text. I have tried it, however, and it does work. If I can resize the panel somehow to just mainly see the ATC text, I'll be happy. Does Pilot2ATC have a means to make suggestions or request features such as I am doing here, or is this the place to do it?
  11. Thanks Dave. Ideally, what I'm looking for is the text that is displayed in the P2A panel "Recent" box. Is there anyway that just the whole Recent Dialog box could be detached from the P2A panel then moved into VR?
  12. I've got my MSFS2020 CRJ working very nicely with P2A, MCE, and the new Navigraph Navdata Center (Beta). I am using the HP Reverb G2 VR headset, which is a big step forward for VR. Here's my setup: * FSUIPC7 (currently free) Required for P2A * Multi Crew Experience (MCE) I'm using this for the 1st Officer functions, other than the radios. * P2A mainly for all radio functions * Navigraph Navdata Center (BETA) This requires a Navigraph Pro License subscription... pricey but worth it. * Amazon Polly AWS Service for additional Voices for P2A and MCE. I never heard of this before, but check out Clumsy's excellent video Here. He also has a link on installing the service. It's not exactly easy to get setup, but if I can do it, anyone can. It's a subscription service, but it's ridiculously cheap. Something like $4 for a couple million words and the first year is free. * Microsoft Mixed Reality Portal - Required for the HP Reverb G2 headset. The order of launching the add-ons is very important to be successful. Here's how I setup my flights: 1) I load up MSFS and position the CRJ (this should work with any A/C), at the airport and gate I want. Be sure to turn off all the ATC options in MSFS. 2) Load up FSUIPC7 - nothing else needs to be done in FSUIPC7. This is just used as P2A's communication link to the CRJ. 3) Load the Navigraph Navdata Center - (Optional) 4) Load MCE - If you don't use MCE, I guess it's not really necessary, but it is very difficult to operate this A/C alone. MCE does a great job as a co-pilot, but has numerous other functions that adds a lot of realism to a flight. There are a few specific options in MCE that must be set in order for MCE to play nice with P2A, namely leaving the ATC option ON, but changing the ATC source to "OTHER". 5) Load P2A - Push the CONNECT button and if it turns green, then you are connected thru FSUIPC7 to the A/C OK. 6) Create and load the Flight Plan as you normally would. 7) Note: Up to this point, my default sound devices (playback/microphone) has been my TrackIR headset. That's how I'm able to test my communications before going into VR mode. 8) Launch Windows Mixed Reality. Your Sound defaults will automatically switch to the VR headset devices in both MCE and P2A , so put on the VR headset and push whatever key/button you have to enable VR in MSFS. OK, so now we have our first dilemma. The P2A panel is not visible in the VR cockpit without peeking under the headset mask to see the desktop. (MCE is not visible, either, but it is not necessary to see it to use it.) This is a big problem for me, mainly because I need to see the instructions from ATC. I can hear them OK, but in the real world, pilots have to ability to jot down ATC instructions on a clipboard like heading, altitude, transponder code... everything that my memory is too short to handle. It would sure be nice if the folks at P2A would devise some way to add the P2A panel into the VR window like other devs have done. At the very least, there is a need to have the ATC messages someplace to view and refer to. I'm hoping that some P2A people might see this and have a solution, or if anyone out there might have an idea, please share. Jim in Ohio i9 - RTX-3080 - 32G - HP Reverb G2
  13. To move and position the GTN750 popout window into the RSG bezel screen I "detach" the GTN750 window by checking the "Popout" option then dragging the window into the RSG screen. Then I can position and make the window full screen. However, the GTN750 window is still in a "detached" state and can be moved around when trying to drag anything on the RSG Touch Screen, like dragging around charts and maps. How can the GTN750 window be locked into so it stays put? If I un-check the "popout" option then the window immediately returns to the main screen. Note, that the same scenario occurs with P3D. After I get the GTN750 into the bezel screen, I have found no way to lock the window.
  14. I've noticed since V4 that I can not hear any radio communication in the aircraft until the wheels leave the ground. It doesn't matter what A/C or what Airport I use, I can not hear, for instance, ASOS WX, until the exact second that the wheels leave the runway, then I hear the radio loud and clear.
  15. When I was trying to setup the GTN 750 for positioning in my RealSImGear GTN 750 bezel, I ran into the same issue. By experimentation, I found that by left clicking on the bezeless 750, then going up to View, then clicking Undock Window in the dropdown, I could freely move the 750 where ever I wanted to. It must remain undocked or it zooms right back to its frozen position. Once I was able to position the 750 into the RealSImGear bezel, you need to maximize the 750 window, then go into Full Screen mode. That removes the window header and fixes the 750 in place, it must remain undocked.
  16. I am able to install the 750 into Carenado's A36 [Window00] panel, and by manipulating the panel.cfg I got rid of the A36 default 430 bezel completely. However, I can't do anything with the [Vcockpit03] view. Now matter what I remove or change, I can't get rid of the 430 bezel, or is it even possible to have the 750 replace the default A36 GPS units? Here is what I did to panel.cfg to get the 2D window to work: [Window00] Background_color=49,49,49 size_mm=500,520 window_size_ratio=1.000 position=0 visible=0 ident=794 window_size= 0.320, 0.444 window_pos= 0.020, 0.505 zorder=0 //gauge00=rxpGTN!GTN_750_1, 2, 0,500,266 gauge00=rxpGTN!GTN_750_1, 2, 0,500,520 //gauge01=CarenadoG430_3D_A36!GNS430_nc2, 3,252,500,266 gauge02=BA36!Toggle_GPS, 115,38,274,164 gauge03=BA36!Toggle_GPS, 114,291,278,164 Here is the Vcockpit I last tried,. I believe the 750 is there but the 430 is covering it up: [Vcockpit03] Background_color=0,0,0 //size_mm=512,512 size_mm=500,520 visible=0 pixel_size=1024,1024 texture=$Panel_bon_4_N gauge00=rxpGTN!GTN_750_1,172,68,500,520 //gauge01=CarenadoG430_3D_A36!GNS430_nc2, 172,248,337,179 gauge02=BA36!gem, 8,354,154,154
  17. Thanks Jean-Luc... I presume the last half of your post was not directed for me, but I see that you are well aware of the confusion that the product description could cause. I am not actually using the 430 for anything since I purchased your GTN750 to use with realsimgear's GTN750 bezel. (yes, I did purchase the 750, not the 650), so this is not a problem for me. I do have some questions about using your 750 in Carenado's A36, but I will submit a new post for that. Thanks again for explaining this.
  18. fppilot... I use P3Dv4.4 and simPlugins Panel Builder gauges. I really am not using the RXP 530/430 gauges for anything. I bought them before I bought realsimgear's GTN750 bezel that uses the RXP GTN-750 for the touch screen display. It works just fine. I was just experimenting with the 430 to use when I fly virtual reality. email is: mader.jim@gmail.com
  19. I didn't know they were purchased individually. What I ordered was titled Reality XP GNS 530W/430W V2 assuming that it included both models. Order # was 1428037.
  20. fppilot... I have tried all the options for power. None work. Regardless it should work with Always On . Thanks....

First I loaded the original A36 panel.cfg to start clean. First I replaced the A36 430-1 with your 430 in Window00 and left VC 03 as is. I could power on both VC units fine. In window-00 the RXP unit 1 still did not work and the A36 unit 2 worked OK. Next after reloading panel.cfg I left the window00 units as A36 units and they both worked. I replaced unit 1 in the VC with the RXP unit and it would not power on but unit 2 worked OK. I noticed another thing to be aware of. I I try to remove all RXP units from the Add On menu, it does remove all the RXP stuff but does not reinstate the orginal units. I just have a black space were the unit should have been. That's mainly why I reload the panel. cfg file.
  21. 1) The A2A Fuel Flow / EGT gauge only shows the Fuel Flow. No reading for EGT. 2) The RPM gauge in the sim shows 2000 rpm but your C172 gauge says 900. 3) None of your annunciators work with the A2A interface. 4) Apparently, the A2A C172 will only work as long as I connect with only the P3D and A2A interfaces connected. If I connect with the FSUIPC also, your gauges start going nuts.
  22. After replacing the default 430 with the RXP430, I can see the unit, but I can not power it on. I have tried various power options for the RXP 430 but nothing works. The default A36 unit 2 powers on fine. (This scenario is also the same for the RXP 530 as well as the GTN750)
  23. After installing the RXP GNS-530 into P3Dv4.4, I could see it appear as a GPS option in the A2A C172N and the Comanche 250 Aircraft Configuration program, and I was able to place it in the A2A panels just fine. After purchasing and installing the GTN-750, it does not appear in the Aircraft Configuration program as an option to use in the Reality-XP choices. Only the 530w. I also see the FS1 GTN750 as a choice. Should I see the RXP 750 listed in A2A's Aircraft Configuration? I tried using the Add-On menu installer, but the only thing I could get to be visible was the Pop Up GTN750. I only bought the RXP 750 to use with RealSimGear's bezel that I just ordered, so I will only be using the popup version, but shouldn't I be able to apply the GTN750 in the VC panel?

  24. I can not get this thing started. I have to agree with greggerm, Cera's user manual is rather useless. There are no flight instructions provided, and no guidance for key commands. The checklist didn't get it started, and it won't even startup using the "Ready To Fly" option in the Animation Panel. It tries to start, but doesn't quit make it. (Yes, there is fuel in the tank). A Google search brings up several complaints about the AS365 with startup problems, but no solutions are posted.
