Hi Ed, I tried what you provided and neither the VC or normal 2d panel workerd. Surely someone out there - SOME OF YOU MEMBERS USE THE MINDSTAR FOR THIS AIRCRAFT?!!!!. This is soooooooooooooo frustrating. Ed - So can I ask a question please without coming across as an idiot? - how many aircraft does this Mindstar unit work with? - I have the following aircraft for P3Dv3: - Carenado B1900D -Carenado C208B ( gns version ) - Carenado Beech Kingair 350i -Carenado Beech C90 GTX - Aerosoft Twin Otter Extended. - Carenado Shrike 500s - Carenado A36 Bonanza - Majestic Dash 8 I have read, re-read and read again the Mindstar installation webpages with no result. I am reasonably computer savvy, but I am sure there are many other simmers out there that are in the same boat as me?! Out of all these planes I am CERTAIN that many AVSIM forum members have these planes and also use the Mindstar GNS4/530 unit. Surely someone out there can offer some help with installing the unit into one of these aircrafts that uses the GNS 4/530???!!!. It is really upsetting that no-one really posts notepad configs for others on how to install these awesome Mindstar units ( or if I am wrong - sorry, but I have searched for the last 2 weeks). I have spent literally $8000 on my simulator and this is the first addon that I cannot get to work. I fly every single day ( much to the dread of my wife), and everything works eventually. Please someone come to my rescue and post or PM me the configs for my aircraft. I use FSEconomy - so the 1900D/208B and Twotter are my usual go to planes. Ed- thanks so much for your incredible responses and support. I basically copied and pasted what you replied too. - was I supposed to do that or what? This is making me crazy!. I was an Xplane flyer for 2 years, but then saw all the addons etc for P3D so shelled out literally $3000 to buy it and all the addons etc, but the default GPS is crap!. For whoever comes to my aid and helps I will send them some kind of Australian memento etc - I'm serious ... I will even go out in the bush and catch a Kangaroo for someone!!!!!! Please help! :(

Hi Ed, Thanks for the help with getting the gps installed on computer, but for the life of me , despite 3 nights worth of reading and trying, I just can't seem to figure out how to install gauge ( 530 ) into my aircraft. Would you ( or someone else here on the forum ) be so kind to please help me, by changing the config so I can have the mindstar 530 work on the Carenado B1900. Surely someone uses the gns 530 in the plane as it is one of the most popular!.
