I know there are some tweaks out there for FSX, and most of them deal with frame rate, but I'm having trouble with everything loading... sometimes things freeze... sometimes the VC doesn't load all the way, or the exterior of the planes just the windows load... and then sometimes I get a black screen and have to shut down completely. So I'm running several things at once... and maybe my computer just can't keep up. Here's what I have going on... FSX, REX Essential Plus Overdrive, Orbyx Socal scenery, Pilotedge ATC and then Flightsim GPS for ForeFlight on the ipad. I'm flying Carenado/Alabeo planes, GTN 750/RXP GNS 530. That's a lot of stuff... I guess... My computer is Intel i7-5820K @ 3.30GHz; 32GB of RAM; NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980; Windows 7 Pro 64 bit... I guess I'm wondering if just playing with the sliders in FSX will make a difference, or if I need to tune my computer better or both? Would the well known tweaks to the FSX.cfg help me out? or that FSX Boost? I open to suggestions...

Right on! Thanks for the reply! I haven't, but I will now. Thanks for sending this link Wow!! It's a field guide to panel.cfg! Awesome!

I thought of one more question to put out there: If you're changing something in the panel.cfg... under virtual cockpit... do you change it in [window XX] as well or is that just 2D stuff?

Thanks for the reply Bert, Yea, I keep reading different threads, and seeing what people are doing. I guess I just need to keep learning about all the coding etc. I was looking at the A36 from Carenado this morning and it has two base 430's in it, and I was like man, if I could just get rid of those two and put the GTN in the hole it would be perfect. When I deleted the gauge comment nothing happens to the gauges... They look like the kind that would just comment out but maybe not. It's a shame to not be able to upgrade these planes... Carenado does such a great job with the planes and the new stuff is upgrade-able, but it sure would be nice to do the same with the older ones. So, I guess if RXP integration is possible, then they're just using the same modeling? Because the buttons should be different on the RXP. I saw your thread of the 182Q... that's a great one to upgrade. I love that plane a lot... I'll have to give it a shot.

Hi, I'm new and hopefully this is the right place to post this: I just bought the F1 GTN 750 and as expected I'm trying to put it into any plane I can. I've been reading every thread I can find on this subject. I don't really want to keep bugging the gurus on here with every aircraft, and also I'd like to contribute what I can as well, seeing that folks on here have been really generous with their coding. I realize that some planes have modeled pieces in the VC which you can't get rid of, but other planes, specifically Carenado and Alabeo have panels that are configurable, at least at first glance. So my question is... When I comment out the existing component or components and then add the GTN coding in the panel.cfg. Some planes with the same existing instruments comment right out and the GTN will comment right in and others it doesn't work at all. So what am I missing if I comment out an existing gauge and it still shows up in the VC? I'm getting it hit or miss right now, so I know there's something else I should do. Another question that I have is a few of the planes offer Reality XP integration... so shouldn't those factory GNS 530's be removable? I'll probably purchase the RXP 530 too... but I just thought I'd see what I can do with the GTN. I appreciate any help!
