Thank you. Any GA floatplanes for X-Plane 11.2 that would work with the GTN 750?

Thank you. Pity there are so few given how easy the GTN750 is to use with a touchscreen monitor. Beats having to play around with mice and rotating knobs and cursors to try to program in a flight plan. Developers should offer this as a standard feature, in my view.

Am a relatively new user to X-Plane 11.2 and was wondering which aircraft out of the box will work with the touchscreen RXP GTN750? I have the default C172 working well and am considering purchase of other add-on aircraft that use the great GTN750. Any advice would be wonderful. Thanks.

Great, thank you. Will do. That will make the component config much easier!

Thank you for the advice. Can I just copy the v2.5 controls file from the 2.5 controls folder and drop it into the v3.3 controls folder? Is that how one goes about not having to reconfigure all the axes/buttons, etc.?

Yes I will need to purchase the new P3d but my question is will I need to purchase all the addons again that I have now in v2.5?

Hello all. I am a longtime user of v2.5 (as long as last year anyway!) with Windows 8.1. I have just updated to Windows 10 and v2.5 works great, even better than on 8.1. All my controllers work well (a bunch of Saitek and some GF's). I have multiple ORBX stuff, FTN, Realair, etc for 2.5. I use several monitors for a widescreen out of cockpit view as I find this most realistic (was a real-life pilot in the past who finds the single monitor view not that great in terms of reality). Now I am considering to update to 3.3. I will install it on a separate SSD. I was wondering if anyone who has both v2.5 and a newer v3 has any tips? For instance, is there a way to copy over a p3d controls file so I don't have to reconfigure everything again from 2.5? Can I reinstall my addons legally into 3.3 with files that I have purchased already? I obviously wouldn't be running both 2.5 and 3.3 at once. Does a new install of these using the v3 installer option affect the v2 install at all? Would anyone out there in the know who has done a similar upgrade be able to help with suggestions? Any help or caveats are welcome and might help many others who are sitting on the fence up like I was up to now too. Thank you in advance.

Have just downloaded and installed the new KSEZ scenery from Orbx. It is fantastic. However, in my setup, there are many aircraft and some static vehicles and people now appearing suspended in the air over the airport. I have installed the latest ORBX libs and also used the Airport Elevation Correction in FTX Global Vector. Any thoughts on how to correct this? Apologies, I am new to posting and I may have this in the wrong spot. Thank you.

Sorry but am a relative newbie to Flight Sim things. I have just installed the Orbx products (Global, Vector, FTX for 2010). I am running P3D 2.5. How does one "disable" Vector? Is it in the Scenery config choice within the sim? If so, which boxes would i need to uncheck? Thank you. I presume that would free up VAS but result in less detail? Any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you. I spoke to John at GoFlight who suggested a reinstall of the GF driver. If I manually load the databridge after P3D, all works. Now I have functionality of the GF radios and autopilot. Still working on the Saitek switch panel. It tests fine with their test program but I can't get anything when P3D is running. Wonder if it is a 32 vs 64 bit thing, as all their other drivers are 64 bit. I will try the SPUD fix next.

Thanks all for the suggestions. I tried to run the GFDevP3D.exe manually before loading P3D and no luck here. I will try another install of the Saitek driver as suggested. Just a thought...would it make any difference on what drives the GOflight and Saitek folders are compared to the P3D folder? I have 2 SSD's, one dedicated to P3D and the first to the OS, drivers, etc.? I don't want to get into changing registry values, etc. Or the fact my windows is 64 bit and the driver is 32 bit??? I think it is a exe.xml or simconnect problem? Anyone with further suggestions? Thanks.

Further to the above, I have now tested the Saitek switch panel with the Switch Panel Tester and it works in Windows, so it appears it and the GoFlight modules are being recognized by Windows. Seems to be a problem with getting P3D to connect to the GF modules and the Saitek Switch Panel. I do not have FSX installed on my computer. I had everything working well with FSX on my original computer. Anyone in the know, please advise. Thank you once again.

I have recently updated my computer setup and have purchased Prepar3d v 2.5. I have several Saitek modules (TPM, Trim Wheel, Flight Yoke System and Combat Rudder Pedals. All is working well, after configuration. What a great look on P3D with 3 monitors in surround. I need some help with how to get my Saitek Switch Panel and 2 GoFlight GF-166A's and a GF-MCP wotking. I installed the drivers properly i think, but am not sure. On computer startup, the lights on the 166A's flash but nothing with the Switch Panel. I am running Windows 8.1 64 bit. I have a new registered version of FSUIPC and it shows in P3D.. I recall something about an Exe.xml file from FSX use. Can anyone out there with experience in getting the Saitek switch panel and GoFlight modules working help me. Thank you.

I have a new GTX 970 and have it connected to 3 monitors via the 2 DVI and HDMI outputs. All works well in FSX. I have a new Desktop Aviator GPS that uses a VGA input. I tried connecting the DisplayPort output on the GTX970 to the VGA input (via adapter) but my system does not recognize the GPS monitor. Any suggestions? Thanks.
