Possible GTN650 integration?
-
@MarkS Just tried it again. I am missing something. I have the PANEL.CFG and the panel.xml like mentioned by @Black-Square in the mod folder and I see that the panel.cfg is taken from the mod folder. But still the GNS430 appears. Any idea?
- Check your path. The panel files should be under MODNAME\SimObjects\Airplanes\bksq-aircraft-starship\panel (and panel.NNNNN)
- Did you regenerate the layout.cfg file?
- Ensure the pms50-instrument-gtn750 and "ZZZ JD 00 GTN750 MAIN MOD 2.3 - PMS FIX" folders are in Community,.

@MarkS It now shows, so it really was the order it loads from the community folder... I should have thought of that earlier. Sorry.

@MarkS I guess after the new autopilot code it will no longer work. Even the poped out gtn750 cant control it anymore.
@Dingle yes, it’s like the GTN is being blocked somehow. But not all of it, oddly enough. HDG mode works, and you can set an altitude, VS mode, and a rate of climb or descent using the autopilot panel on the GTN. FLC might work too, though I’ve not tried it.
It’s as if the new autopilot code is detached from and is ignoring the standard autopilot’s NAV and APPR functions. If so, it follows that the GTN wouldn’t work either. But I’m just spitballing here, and the man who knows for certain is at FSExpo.
We should be prepared for the possibility that this is one of those planes where it’s just too much trouble to mod a GTN into it. I have had one or two of those in the past. But I’m not giving up on this one just yet.

Thank you for trying! The default 430 is the only flaw on this otherwise awesome aircraft.

The GTN650 mod is working well in Starship version 1.1 in both 2020 and 2024. Barring any issues, it will be released on flightsim.to following FSExpo on Monday 30 June.

You will also need to have the following folders installed in your Community folder:
- PMS50 GTN750: "pms50-instrument-gtn750" from https://pms50.com/msfs/
- JayDee's GTN750 mod: "ZZZ JD 00 GTN750 MAIN MOD 2.3 - PMS FIX" from https://flightsim.to/file/13415/jds-gtn750-on-gns530-mod

@pequenyo said in Possible GTN650 integration?:
@MarkS is it out yet? I dont see it...
I think there was a problem with the Autopilot being controled by the GTN. Possibly because of the 1.1 update of starship? It changed parts of the Autopilot I think.
