      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..

        @bert-pieke Agree with you on this one. The flexibility would be very welcome... and even the 650 on it’s own would be a cool option in the Pipers.

          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.

                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.

                  @petze Ah, OK. Then I certainly also prefer the 750 alone.

                  @Martyn Can we have the pure 750 option back in the next release? Assume it is possible since the Arrow v0.8.0 and GTN v2.0.0 provided that functionality.

                      Just bought the bundle. I to would like a GTN 750 only option.

                      Also an option without a GPS would be nice as well. But I can definitely live with just leaving the G100 off.

                        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
                        
                        END
                        

                        I 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

                          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 😀
