Softpxl

Hii everyone. My name is Softpxl and I'm have been busy sketching and designing a nosewheel steering tiller for my flightsim setup. Lately I have been thinking about producing it on demand for the flight sim community. After looking around on google I found some really decent tillers but they were either not for sale or very expensive (more than 400 to 500 bucks). So I made a google form to gauge whether there is some interest in having a nosewheel steering tiller that is both affordable and doesn't require a whole homecockpit sim. Feel free to fill in this form, no email required (if I set it up correctly as this is the first time I made a form by using google). If you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask. https://forms.gle/5QHTELLZ3vKoTqYA7

Idk if there are people here who have some knowledge/experience with making their own controllers or hardware, so if you do please help me out a bit if you can. For the past year I've been designing a steering tiller based on the Boeing 777's steering tiller and all I need now is a controller board with a USB port(preferable USB A or USB C) for reading a single axis input from left to right. As of now I wanna using a part of an old racing wheel that I salvaged until I figured out the dimensions for the final build of the housing(see spoiler below). All I need now is a controller board that can fit this header(again, see spoiler below below). A friend of mine said something about an arduino-esque board with an atmega chip, iirc an atmega32u4 chip specifically. But I would like some recommendations on which brands would be decent for long term use and maximum compatibility with the current flightsims (xplane, p3d, msfs). And preferably a board that has a small enough form factor. The latter point is, bc if I do need to put it away, it won't take up a whole cabinet. So if anyone has some recommendations, please let me know.

I've had my 1060 for almost 7 years now and it's really showing it's age. Used to have and average of 20 to 30fps with it, despite it being a 3gb variant, but it is starting to show it's age. Now I've been saving up money for a complete new setup but I need to replace my current gpu with urgency for reasons aside of p3d. So I've been looking for a new gpu, but I'm a bit on a budget. I've seen people using P3Dv4 and v5 with a 1600 series card and getting 30+ pretty busy areas on medium settings. But I've also seen people using a 2000 series and 3000 series and having 30+ fps om medium to high setting. My question is, which gpu do you use and can you recommend it for my situation?

I updated from ASP4 to ASP3D and I noticed that in the add-on.xml of Active Sky, there is this line <AddOn.Component> <Category>Gauges</Category> <Path>.\</Path> </AddOn.Component> Does this lead to the gauges folder in P3D? If not, does anyone know where it leads to otherwise??

The title says it all. Since it is already part of the GNS series, I was wondering when crossfill will be a thing for the GTN series. I know about the alternative method but the ability to crossfill would also be nice and saves a bit of time imo. Great product otherwise 😉

Thank you very much. This makes changing frequencies a lot faster since the clickspots with Carenado aircrafts are sometime very wack. That's a bummer. Still tho the fact that you made the mod working like it does now is already very satisfying. 😁

I have a couple of questions.Like the height of the panel, the way it is fitted into the Proline panel I can't see the upper part of the GTN where the comms are, like the comm frequency and the transponder code. Is there a way to lower height of the GTN so that I can see that part of the panel.And I want to use both Proline panels, where the GTN in fitted in, independently from each other so that I could use the left panel for the map view and the right panel for flight plan for example?

Anyone here who can send me the download for the GTN integration? send me a pm so I can send you my email

Will this mod also become compatible with the Carenado Embraer 300, since the flightdeck is basically the same?

Is it possible to somehow get 2 gnt 750's set up on the panel of the a2a bonanza?

I got the GPS working, after using the information you two both gave me, now I am curious if there is a way to make use of the weather radar

So I bought the GTN750 a few days ago, stuggled to install it, but worked it out in the end, but now I got a whole other problem. When I put in a flight plan in what ever form, whether it be a direct or different legs, it does not follow it. If I activate the GPS function it automatically turn straight to the north. I have installed and reinstalled the GTN750 and the garmin trainer. but that didn't work. I am using the panel presets provided by Bills511 for the A2A Cessna 182. Added a spoiler with the settings of the RealityXP.GTN.ini file. If there is a way to fix this problem, it would be appreciated.

I used the GTN v6.41.1 link earlier today, not thinking I would need the GTN v6.21 link. That didn't work, the installer did not pick up that it was installed. so I have tried to GTN v6.21 and that did get picked up by the installer. It is now installed correctly as far as I know

I already looked at that post, but the thing is, I never installed the GTN 750 and when I get to the download selection for the garmin GTN trainer, the check box for it is already selected and greyed out. I cannot uncheck it and because of that, I cannot install the GTN750 for prepar3d. I have already installed the the GTN trainer software of garmin via the links that are posted in your post. Do I now have to wait untill garmin fixes the problem on their side or is there another way to install the RealityXP 750 through a earlier version of the installer?
