G3X in bonanza
-
I appreciate the fast reply that I had missed so far.
Basically, I want to use your bonanza flight model and have 2 popped out G3X (working so showing 6 pistons and so on) I want to be able to integrate with a pooped out GTN 650/750.... (TDS), I also need a G5.... maybe there would be a way to integrate some fake gauges to which we could link WT G3x, TDS.... Not sure this makes any sense..... I have all my fingers crossed@xavierp Yes, what you describe is basically possible, and is the technique demonstrated in the link above. I apologize that I can't take this on myself right now, but I'm happy to help you with the finer details if you decide to attempt it yourself.

Thanks again for the support. Much much much appreciated. Very thankful.
I m willing to attempt myself but before doing so I want to make sure it is possible.- Will i be able to use your Aircraft in home cockpit view and see correct information on popped out WT G3X windows (6 pistons and so on) and TDS?
- If you only have limited gauge in your model - how can I assign 2 G3x (pilot copilot) 1G5 and the TDS nxi (650 750)
I thought you would need to add virtual invisible gauge to your aircrafts files in which i would be able to place G3x g5 and gtn gauges myself but if there are not enough of them.... not sure i can do this all.
I'm willing to pay for anyone who could do this by the way

Ok so far, i get the 2 G3x and G5 by modifying panel.cfg
[VCockpit12]
; G3X PFD
size_mm = 1280,768
pixel_size = 1280,768
texture = $DmeScreen
background_color = 0,0,0
htmlgauge00=NavSystems/G3XTouchv2/G3XTouch.html?Index=1&no_stretch=1, 0,0,1280,768[VCockpit13]
; G3X MFD
size_mm = 1280,768
pixel_size = 1280,768
texture = $Kns81Screen
background_color = 0,0,0
htmlgauge00=NavSystems/G3XTouchv2/G3XTouch.html?Index=1&no_stretch=1, 0,0,1280,768[VCockpit14]
; --- G5 anchor (was Weather Radar) ---
size_mm = 512,380
pixel_size = 512,380
texture = $RadarScreen
background_color = 0,0,0
htmlgauge00=NavSystems/AS5/AS5.html?Index=1, 0,0,512,380The G3x works partially.
I now need to find a way to feed data from the sim to the G3x gauge (motor, gps,...)
-
Ok sadly i have to give up, I spent hours trying to get further than where I m. I feel a new panel.xml should be created to feed correct data into the G3x...
Then hopefully when it is done, there is a connection between TDS and WT G3000 (i know they should crossfill but not sure if something has to be done on my side) Hopefully someone could help...... -
Congratulations! I'm sorry I couldn't help more with this one. Usually I am happy to help and create custom solutions for home cockpit builders, but this one was just over the threshold of what I could reasonably handle while getting to all the other support items.
Since you're working on a TDS-based solution, I will share some of the panel.XML from my Velocity, which has the exact setup you're looking for. Make sure you disable all the other GPS units in the panel.cfg to make sure there are no conflicts.
From the second large block, you should see exactly how to create your own engine instrumentation and CAS for the Bonanza. Let me know if you have any questions!

First of all, sincere thanks for taking the time to reply.
So far I edited the, panel.cfg in panel.N5172C
If i understand correctily, now i must edit the panel.xml file in that same folder.
Add the 2 sections
Possibly edit them so they read bonanza stuff (for iinstance i see the G3x do not get power anymore after adding the blocks from above)
Then i also have to make sure to disable all the other GPS units in the panel.cfg to make sure there are no conflicts (not sure i understand do you mean removing all VC.This is all chinese to me but i have the will to make it....
First step would be to make sure i m modifying the right files (right location) and also understand your instruction and don't do things i m not supposed to.If i have to edit your G3X block, a little info on what to do would help then i ll do my best to figure things out. I m a quick learner.

@xavierp Yes! Everything you said here was exactly correct. You will have to modify the CFG and XML of any livery you want to have this new configuration.
The XML can be copy-pasted across all liveries, but the CFG will at least have to retain the original "VLivery" sections at the bottom of the file if you want the registration numbers to appear correctly.
You only have to disable any GPS units that you're not using to display your new instruments. For instance, if there is still an entry for the KLN90B, but you have no intention of using it. This is just to avoid possible conflicts with the new units.
Here is the documentation for the G3X XML. If anything near the file sounds scary, like
<Sensors adc-count="1" ahrs-count="1">or<GduDefs>, just use the parameters I sent in my last message. You're looking for the sections like<EnginePage>and<Annunciations>.Let me know how it goes!

Man.... I dont know how many hours in put into this.... there is no way to pay you a significant amount of money so that you make my aircraft into mfs? Its all chinese to me (but if you can't make it, i'll keep trying) and thanks again for the continious support... I just know it would be amazing to also fly it in VR sometimes and that won't happen the way I m doing it if i ever happen to make it

Well, I would be foolish to say that any man doesn't have his price, but I also don't want to create false expectations by having "the developer" ultimately hack together a solution for you when it's something the aircraft was never meant to do in the first place.
Before you give up entirely, let me try with one more round of pointers:
Replace all of the
CIRCUIT ON:NNvalues withCIRCUIT ON:48for testing. This will make sure everything is powered and working for now.From there, start with the "eis_root_style" section. These are all of the large gauges you see on the left of the MFD by default. The scale of the gauge is generally set by the <Minimum>, <Maximum>, and <ColorZone> settings.
For now, see if you can make progress with just those changes, and then I can send more tips.

Can anyone ad the G3X to the plane in 2024? Can you guys share a screen shot of it? Thanks!
