RXP

@Matchstick https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/628749-happy-new-year-2023/ @svtdoug I thank you for your patience and I'm sorry for the unusual situation. Online support will return to "normal" in a few days and should catch up with you all.

We've now officially released our official XP12 compatible GNS V2 and GTN products, and I thank you for your patience during the XP12 beta! As good news never comes alone, we're offering the latest versions for free to all our existing customers! Let's welcome this new year 2023 together and I hope to see you all around here in the coming days! Happy new year!

This has been a hard post to write. I hate that this happened and I kick myself every day for not paying more attention to our support operation in the past few months, while spending most my time on new products R&D. There is only so much one can do in a day and it is a good reminder you’re human and mistakes are easily made. And even though I hope this didn’t affect the majority of our customers, thanks to the maturity of of existing products and that they are reliably running, I want to apologize to those of you who were in needs of RXP assistance during that time. I also want to thank you for your enduring support throughout. We’ve been offering some of the most incredible simulation add-ons for 20 years because you keep us going every day, by buying our software, by giving us your good ideas, by telling your friends about us. You are the good in the world! So we’re going to do everything we can to rise above this and keep going even further, together.

You're correct, I've documented it all back in Dec. 2020 already, with technical analysis, graphics examples you can try in crossing the eyes: Cockpit Size and World Scale in VR - Community Support / Wishlist - Microsoft Flight Simulator Forums Which translates as-is in only a few lines of code in the OXR-TK: https://github.com/mbucchia/OpenXR-Toolkit-Private/blob/eef60195f845a6d72454d4b96c7ca7952e63a87d/XR_APILAYER_NOVENDOR_toolkit/layer.cpp#L1182 Basically it only consists in changing the 3D camera location closer to each other or further apart... 🙄

Hi, please look at the recommend posts in this topic: https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/605896-reality-xp-update-removed-airports-from-garmin-430530/

@zsega In short yes. We're just dealing with a lot of stuff right now both retail and professional, developing new features for our existing products, developing new products as well, and finalizing the G500/600. The G500/600 has set us back a few months back because of a bug introduced with the recent NVidia drivers which is compromising the device integrity and reliability (i.e. plain and simple trainer CTD). We've been working hard trying to pin point the issue and building workarounds, but it is not finalized and there are different priorities we have to deal with daily. Nevertheless, I really do sympathize and I'm aware our operations seem to be running slow for the last year, but it is only because we are working harder revisiting our product line and implementations from the ground up, so that we can accompany you all throughout the exciting times ahead, more specifically X-Plane 12 and Prepar3D 6...

Hi, I'm sorry for the delay. Just run the installer and uncheck the option to install the 2015 or 2016 database... this way your own database will be used. This is explained in the latest update release notes... https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/534858-12aug21-rxp-gns-530w430w-v2-x-plane-v24216-released/ NB: the latest GNS V2 for Fltsim update is now providing 2 db to choose from and a more robust handling in the installer code. I'm waiting for a little more feedback from Fltsim version users prior pushing the same changes to the XPlane version installer. More infos in the Fltsim release notes here...

The GNS Trainer 3.3 included with the product can't power up standalone. It is expected.

Let's itemize the information: 1) Positions on map pages of RXP and XPlane differ. I mentioned earlier this is expected, if you're referring to the X-Plane stock GPS. However this is not normal if you're referring to the X-Plane "map" window (the one displaying when you press the M key on your keyboard). Which "XPlane map page" are you referring to? 2) is there a way to go back to default in the settings? All the RXP GNS settings are saved in a file located in the aircraft folder: RealityXP.GNS.ini Just rename the file to something else (for backup, just in case you need to peep inside later), load the aircraft, then open a GNS from the RXP Plugin menu. This will recreate a new settings file from scratch. 3) I’m not getting any indication on the XPlane CDI when flying an instrument approach for example You have to configure the GNS to interface with the panel instruments. Please make sure to open the GNS Setting Panels and use "Link HSI" and "Link VOR" to get started. Also make sure the GNS is configured as "Master Device" and cross-check the GPS CDI mode matches the C172 NAV/GPS switch selector (both should be in GPS mode).

Ok so you were not talking about the X-Plane map window, but the stock X-Plane GPS map page instead isn't it? In this case this is normal: the RXP GPS is overriding the X-Plane GPS system (this is how this works with the SDK). When overriding the X-Plane GPS system, it is expected the stock GPS doesn't react nor work anymore because the RXP GPS supplant it.

Thank you for the additional information. If I understand correctly, when using the RXP GNS with the stock XP11 C172 non-G1000 panel, the GPS position differs between the RXP GNS and XP11. Is this a difference in XP11 map window? Is this a difference with an XP11 airport? Is this with one airport in particular or all airports world wide? If this is only with one airport, which one it is and is it a 3rd party airport or the stock one?

I'm glad you've found out a solution! By default, the GNS power knob only controls volume. This is meant so that new users can experience a working GNS on first install right away. However you can configure this via the GNS Settings Panel to not only enable the power on/off position, but to also configure whether you load the GNS powered or not (i.e. volume knob at the OFF position, or just one notch up).

I don't want to derail the topic toward FS2020 but I feel compelled as a 3rd party vendor to say the following: @simbol spot on! I'm certain all of the 3rd party vendors will agree with me when I say that all 3rd party vendors do share the same passion as their customers otherwise we wouldn't even be making add-ons, and we also do share the same frustration you can't fly our add-ons with FS2020 (for those not being in any position to offer their add-ons for FS2020 yet). Sometimes it is even worse than this, let alone baring 3rd party vendor market place applications, or silencing 3rd party vendor accounts on their forums ... Unfortunately I can't count the number of time I read "3rd party who are not embracing the new are doomed to fail" over the FS2020 forum, but users must realize the main problem is not 3rd party not wanting to, not at all. Back on the future of P3D: During the FSExpo presentation and Q&A session, it seemed to me they are well aware of the need to raise the bar for the Prepar3D terrain rendering and they even said they are already in talks with different companies including Google. They were also clearly showing, in my opinion, that despite the commercial target of Prepar3D, simmers remain a valuable target and an asset to their product in many different ways. I'd also like to thank @virtuali for his detailed explanation on how they've been able to bend the simulator to their needs. The mere fact the platform can bend, instead of the 3rd party developer, is a strong testimony of the creativity potential of your favorite 3rd party vendors when the platform (a real one here) is meant to foster creativity, as opposed to sand-boxing add-ons in a ludicrous way. My understanding is that the future of P3D is bright for us simmers, so is the future of X-Plane, both simulators meant and designed to support and grow an ecosystem of 3rd party vendors via their strong and low level SDK giving access to the richness of their entrails, which is key to unleashing creativity.

Hi, Can you please post the content of the RXP log files? (see RXP User's Manual for file/path) What is the "power-up" button you're referring to?

You might want to watch the keynote (time stamped): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnQxD1Y_N0w&t=1625s NB: He his the developer of Traffic Global and he is now working for LR implementing the new ATC system. edit: @w6kd sorry for the off-topic, you are right. Please feel free to delete this post.
