GTN 750 option
-
The GTN 750 now comes with a 650 as well, but no option to just have the 750 as we have had up til now..
For the GNS 530, there are two options: 530+430 and 530 only.
Can the same options be offered for the 750?
I quite liked the previous 750 option which is no longer selectable.. -

I too would like the GTN750 Option over the 650 option. It's bigger screen and added functionality and is better. And was also a key factor in my decision to purchase the aircraft.
Thanks,
Dave. -
@chase1399 The current option features both the GTN 750 and 650

As far as I know, it is currently not possible to have a configuration with the 650 as a second panel and at the same time provide a configuration with the same unit as the first panel.
I would really love, however, to have a configuration with just the 750, as we did before. Also, this eats less fps than the 750/650 combo.

Agreed!

So as I was setting up my controls for the PA-28R in SPAD.neXt, I came across the LVARS for the display of the various GPS avionics. I found a way that seems to work 100% to disable and remove the GPS100 from the stack and put in a blanking panel. I wrote this out as simple pseudocode so you can implement it in whatever way you access/change LVARS.
IF GPS100_VIZ=1 THEN GPS100_BLANKING_VIZ=1 GPS100_VIZ=0 GPS100_OFFON=0 ENDI also tried to get the GTN650 to not show when the GTN750 option was selected and instead show the factory COM2/NAV2 radio. I succeeded it getting it to display. But it seems the COM2/NAV2 radio is INOP as the dials don't update the display frequency and you cant turn the radio to the OFF position.
Still I personally use a Logicech Radio Panel to control the radios and that still works fine. Hopefully JF implements this in a future update. Regardless if you do want to disable the GTN650 and display the factory COM2/NAV2 even though its INOP here is how I do it.
IF PMS550_GTN650_INSTALLED=1 THEN PMS550_GTN650_INSTALLED=0 PMS550_GTN650_RUNNING=0 END IF GTN750_VIZ=1 THEN GPS100_BLANKING_VIZ=1 END -
Thanks for this @ancrm114
While I am not much of a ‘modder’ or programmer, your post makes me hopeful that adding extra GPS options to the Arrows is a relatively simple thing for the JF team 😀
