RXP GNS 530W/430W V2

  1. Started by frankormd,

    Something happened to my Reality XP simulator. I wanted to reinstall it but I can't find a download for it and need help in finding out how to do that. I have all the purchase information.

    I use XPlane 11 and have the latest version. I use the RealityXP Garmin 750 and Garmin 530 and also have the latest Versions of each product. I have upgraded my Internal Hard Drive (C) on my Simulator PC to a larger Hard Drive - now my RealityXP Garmin 750 and 530 do not work. I have Purchase orders and Certificate numbers for both of these products. Both say INVALID LICENCE: Contact Vendor What do I do? How can I get a Valid Licence again? How can I fix this problem as I can not find anyway of contacting RealityXP Support Please help!

    I upgraded to the latest 11.50 version of X-plane; I also have the latest RXP GNS430 version running. For a longer time I couldn't use the Vulkan feature as my AMD driver was blacklisted. Therefore I was using OPENGL and GNS was working with the GNS as part of X-plane and in Pop-out mode. I need this pop-out mode in order to move my GNS to a separate screen. Today, I went back to AMD driver 20.8.2. Now Vulkan works again, but my GNS does not. - in Popout mode, the window is black only. When moving the window around, sometimes the GNS screen content flashes for a short moment. but 99.9% the window is simply black. So, I do not see the bezel and…

    Hi. I'm new to this.....less than a week. I am running XPlane and Air Manager with some stand alone hardware from Real Sim Gear. I have two questions (at the moment) that I cannot seem to find answers to. The panel of the plane (3rd party Grumman Tiger) I am using on XPlane only has a 430 on the panel. I fly a Grumman Tiger with a 530 and want to have the 530 on my sim. 1. I am trying to get the RXP GNS530 to stick to the panel I constructed using Air Manager, which is on my 2nd Monitor. I can move it there with the white bar at the top, but when I click anywhere else on the screen, it goes away. If I unclick the "popout" button (located under plugins on the…

    For two days now I have been trying to understand the relationship of the .ini file and the windows, panels etc. I have the 530 showing up in the default C172, but nothing I do can get the 430 to show up and work like the 530. I have read pages of information, documentation and honestly I'm at the point now that I'm so frustrated I just want to toss the whole mess out and forget about even trying to get this to work. But before I go down that road, maybe someone has some insight and can point me in the right direction. I know I'm missing something, but I'm also reluctant to keep searching and trying things only to come up blank. There has got to be a better way to under…

    I have setup everything for the default C172. I am very satisfied with its behaviour, but I think I found one small bug: On a LPV approach on GNS1 and CDI/VDI1, the GS flag does not disappear, while the CDI and VDI needles behave correctly. That is how I remember it from the real thing.

    Hi hope you can please help. Is there anyway to query the entire length of a flight plan / All waypoints rather than just to the next waypoint? I am attempting to program a little flight fuel usage instrument for my sim. Thanks! Have a good christmas!!

    I know there is a example file LFATLFRG.fpl, but that is for a different country (not US), and I am having a hard time creating one for U.S airports. When I try to import it, it complains about waypoint errors. Also, I am not sure why the example file contains lat/lon for the waypoints. If these are already in the database, why are they also specified in the file? Can someone share a simple flightplan file for the US? Thanks.

  10. Hi everyone, I'm pretty new to RealityXP but have built up a sim to help keep my real life IFR skills sharp. I am running realityXP GNS430 on a Propwashsim PWS530 panel, which apart from the incorrect screen dimensions works very well. I am also using the PWS rotary encoder panel which has Heading/OBS knobs etc to control the rotary inputs on the gauges on my air manager panel. Herein lies the issue I'm having - the CDI needle on the HSI works as expected when I've got the 430 in VLOC mode. I can spin the OBS knob and see the resultant turning of the CDI, and deviations as expected. However, I when I have the 430 in GNSS mode the OBS needle doesn't turn the CDI,…

    I just purchased the RealityXP GNS-530 v2. Installation was running smoothly until I got to the "Installing Please wait while Setup installs RealityXP Garmin GNS v2 (X-Plane) on your computer." No building load progress indications, nothing. Only option is to "Cancel" What do I need to do now?

    Hi, I've RXP GNS430W together with two Garmin G5 (AirManager/Sim Innovation). Everything is working fine. Only the GPS bearing needle does not show to the selected GPS-position. Everything is fine with the x-plane GNS430 but not with the RXP version. Is there somebody around to give some help? Marc

    Is it possible to use this plugin to simulate GNS 430 without WAAS option? I understand the benefits of WAAS but I fly with non-WAAS version and I’m interested to learn using it. To be honest, I don’t know the difference between WAAS and nonWAAS version in terms of functionality so it might be negligible. Thanks, Dominik

    I bought a GNS 430 and found the navbases outdated and not sure how to update them. How can I update them or get my money back?

  16. Got the 530W/430W combination working in the default C172. It is really great! Most noticable differences with the Xplane version of the 530/430: All menu screens are there. In turns the CDI guides you through the turn as well as expected and it should. That in contrary to the XPlane 530/CDI which flips the needle instead. (see also https://pplir.org/pbn_manual/ page 8 of version 3 rev 11) OBS fully works with the CDI1 and CDI2 (OBS course set by VOR1 and VOR2 indicator dial when in GPS mode) Small footnote: It is a bit of hassle to get it working in the default C172: Do not change the name of the directory from where you inst…

    So having some issues trying to integrate the 430 in to the stock C172. I load the plane, ctrl, alt, shift space, it creates the panel preview file, however that file only has screen shots of the gps screens, nothing else. I also don't see where in these tutorials the pixel coordinates come from if this even matters as my panel preview doesn't seem correct. Im in 11.5 in vulcan btw. I found a file on the xp org downloads that added the 530 in so at least I have that for now.

    I just bought the Reality XP GNS 530W/430W V2, and installed it. I am hoping I didn't waste money. I haven't tried it on Xplane yet, but I wanted to see their newer version of the GNS Trainer. But I am unable to power-on the unit. Press and hold the Power/Com knob does nothing. I checked the old version of GNS trainer (which I have used for many years) and that turns on fine. Also, why is there no support email for RXP? The support link directs me to this forum instead.

    Greetings, I was never able to solve an issue with the Carenado T210 using the RXP 530/430. At issue is the frozen course selector with CDI in NAV or GPS modes. I have exhausted every option I can think of to make it work as it should. I think a Carenado update is highly unlikely and looking for anybody that might have similar experience or better yet, a solution.

  20. Greetings, I hope all is well with you, your work and your flying! I was wondering if you know how to auto-slew the G530 to the NAV 1 CDI on the C172SP in X-Plane 11 in GPS Mode and similarly how to auto-slew the G430 to the NAV 2 CDI on the C172SP in X-Plane 11 in GPS Mode? By default they do not auto-slew in X-Plane 11, however it would be greatly appreciated if you could let me know how to achieve this. I would greatly appreciate your help! In the past I had left instructions on how to connect the G430 to NAV 2 CDI to receive GPS information on NAV2 from the G430 in the C172SP so I have already successfully connected the G430 to the Nav2 CDI. Now I just need to know ho…

  21. Hi guys, I've just purchase the RXP GNS530 and i try to make it working with the LES Saab 340. It's ok to make appears the 2D GNS530 in the Saab but, since there's a stock GNS 530 inside the cockpit (3d), the screen of the RXP remains black. I've generate the file below. The only thing is I have is the black screen of the RXP behind the screen of the stock 530GNS. And it's not working. The RXP doesn't initiate. The GNS 530 is still functional.

  22. I'm running X-Plane v11.50 on Windows 10. Reality XP GNS 530/430W Plugin was installed and worked flawlessly. I had not updated the plugin since I installed it in Feb 2018 and decided it might be a good idea to update before I try installing and configuring my new RealSimGear GNS 430 device which adds a new dimension to reality. Big mistake. Now when I load X-Plane I get the error, "RXP Invalid License Contact Vendor." I've googled and searched this forum and others and have found zilch on how to fix this. Sad that Reality XP does not provide any customer support beyond re-directing them to spend hours searching through a forum for possible answers to what is probab…

  23. If I sit the GNS430W on a panel, the whole screen flashes when anything on the 430 changes. So, for example, if the MSG annunciator or OK is flashing, the whole screen flashes, if something changes, say swapping the radio frequency, then the screen flashes once. If I stick the 430 on a separate screen (say an iPad) then the screen doesn't flash. Any ideas?

  24. I have read all the comments that I can find and read all the manuals as well as Utube videos. It appears that I have Reality XP GNS 530 and 430 installed correctly in my X-Plane 11 setup. However, having said that, I have tried for many hours and days to do two things: 1. Replace the X-Plane G530/G430 GPS units in my C172 and B58. 2. Pop out the GNS windows with no bezels...just the screens so I can use them in Air Manager. I do have the RealityXP.GNS.ini files in the respective airplane folders. I am trying to keep it simple by using the Laminar Research C172SP and B58. I tried to follow the B58 tutorial in the Reality XP manual but have had no luck. Exam…
