Manfred Jahn C-47 GPS

[LCYCowboy]

Hi guys,

Does someone (a lot more clever than me) know how to install the reality XP - 750 gauge into Manfred Jahn's brilliant DC-3?

As the Sperry is still inop, there is a lovely big retangular space in the VC to put the GTN-750. I can install it into the pop up window, but this kind of kills immersion in VR.

I've had a quick look at the panel.cfg, but not being an expert, I can't work out how to edit anything to replace the INOP sperry gauge with a GTN-750.

Thanks for any help in advance,

Neil,

ps. I have had so much fun out of this DC-3 in the past, a big thank you to all involved!!!!!

Hi Neil-

I posted this question quite some time ago and got no responses.

However, the good news is the Systems Manager (?) allows you to select and maintain altitude and heading with an appropriate ascent/descent rate. I use these functions with AivlaSoft EFB and their excellent vertical guidance functionality which makes for a great flying experience with this fantastic DC3 :>)

Cheers,

Several months ago I asked about making the inoperable Sperry autopilot in the virtual cockpit into space a blank into which the user could install whatever navigation aid or autopilot they desired. I was told "no" due to concerns regarding the potential to use and distribution of payware gauges in association with his freeware aircraft.

I use these functions with AivlaSoft EFB?

Is there a freeware add-on that is somewhat comparable to this payware product? I am sure it is outstanding; merely a financial thing .NC

LittleNavMap is excellent, and free.

Giving the option to install a GPS into the Virtual Cockpit surely shouldn’t effect this fantastic freeware product.

I have spent 3 years flying it as standard, but the VOR/NDBs are slowly disappearing and RNAV is taking over. I still want to fly by hand (until the Sperry arrives &#128540, but would love a GPS for guidance as flying from ground bases stations in the modern world doesn’t really represent reality anymore.

I own the RealityXP GTN - 750 and have installed it into many aircraft (payware and freeware) but they provided a built in GPS which the RealityXP wizard replaces.

If it isn’t possibly then so be it 😔
