G3X in bonanza
-
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!

I’m still working on it. Everything lights up correctly, but the main challenges are:
-
Structuring the XML file properly. What to keep, what to remove so the G3X works but then I don't break all your Aircraft logic. I’m completely new to this, still trying to understand the logic, and I suppose I’ll eventually get there. I think that this will be the hard part for me as once this is done, i can use your systems, engines files and doc online or real manuals to populate the right values (so i considering this the easiest part maybe wrongly)
-
No matter how good the integration is done, it will still be a quick dirty work around and not a full virtual cockpit.

These are my files so far, i can't get power to the gauges

Circuit #48 should do the trick as long as the avionics switch is on. Circuit #38 is some panel lighting circuit. You could try circuit #2 if you wanted to bypass the switch and just use battery power.
Your files look like a pretty good start! I'll send you a quick message on your contact form so you can get in touch with me directly, in case it makes anything easier.

https://limewire.com/d/6UQE9#ZtePYYK5j9@xavierp you are missing this in your panel xml:
<Instrument> <Name>G3XTouch_1</Name> <Electric> <Simvar name="CIRCUIT ON:52" unit="Boolean"/> </Electric> <ElevatorTrim/> <RudderTrim/> </Instrument> <Instrument> <Name>G3XTouch_2</Name> <Electric> <Simvar name="CIRCUIT ON:53" unit="Boolean"/> </Electric> </Instrument>I'm doing pretty much the same modification as you are but for Garmin G1000. I've done it in the past on other planes, for now I failed with the bonanza/baron but we can help each other!

FYI, i just tried to edit my xml with 53 and 52 as you suggested but it was still not working. At this time, i can only give up and wait for Nick's support)
@xavierp I just wanted to let you know that I've received your emails, and I will discuss your project further. You just caught me on Thanksgiving week in the US, which comes right after my birthday, so it's when I often take some time away from my desk.
