1. In the XL560 aircraft folder there is a file called RXPGTN750XL560.exe which you should run.

After that, the GTN shows up in the panel.

2. Close down P3D and go back to the XL560 aircraft folder  and edit the  RealityXP.GTN.ini file with Notepad, adding three lines if they are not already there:

[GTN_750_1]
; is the master device if true.
MasterDevice = true
; aviation db: 0: nav_db2_grm, 1: nav_db2, 2: nav_heli_db2_grmn, 3: nav_heli_db2
NavDbType = 1
VoicePref = MALE
; connects to: 'PFC_GTN' or any '#PID' (#D067 for PFC_GTN)
; no value connects to first found, 'OFF' disables connection.
HardwareDevice =
; hardware selector number or -1 to disable.
HardwareIdx = -1
LinkCrs = true
LinkVor = true
UseSimGpsCmds = true  

Now, start up the airplane, and advance the GTN 750 to the Test page (hit Continue twice).

3. Verify that the HSI on the PFD correctly shows the CDI needle deflections and the glideslope indicator is active.

If OK, the GTN should be able to drive the autopilot in NAV mode with the PFD in VOR1 mode.

I find that keeping the autopilot popup window visible works best, for now..

Everything works very well.

Thank you Bert for your outstanding work giving to the Community.

- Wing AI annunciation was on at all times with the E/WAI switch off. The only time this light comes on is if the wing (or engine for the engine AI light) heat is selected on, and the power is below 72% N2. Basically saying 'hey, you want heat, but there isnt enough power/air/heat from the engines to guarantee a good enough job.' It becomes annoying sometimes during decent because you are at idle thrust, and getting master cautions left and right. 

- I don't know where you recorded all of the cockpit alert sounds from, but it wasn't a straight XL like the one that you modeled. I am not super familiar with the XLS+ and maybe you used sounds from that avionics set, but the overspeed tone is not correct. On that note, the only real noise you get is from the overspeed. Master Caution and Master Warnings are silent with only the lights going off. Also I noticed that the Pass Safety/Seat Belt sign switch doesn't "ding" like it should. That would have been super easy to get right as well.  

- GPWS isn't accurate. I think the real one only gives a 500' call. It has been 2 months since I have flown one though but I have a lot of videos I can reference. 

- Pressurization panel is....i have no idea what is going on with that. In normal operation you would set the landing field elevation there and let it run in auto. ie - 4500' = 45. 

Anyway. I wish I could have helped beta test to help get some of these little details right! A patch would be nice. I didn't even try the VNAV or anything yet, but as difficult as this PRIMUS 1000 is to use, I am not holding my breath. It really feels like you took the default GPS functions and made it look like a Primus 1000. Can't seem to go direct to anything while keeping the flight plan in etc etc. 

 

3 Days ago i bought the Carenado XL560 for FSX:SE, after completing the Installation i start my Flight Sim and try to select the Carenado XL560 after selecting the game the menu is literally blank and the following error occurs:''Visual model could not be displayed Carenado C56X WHITE'' i tried a reinstall-without success. Yesterday i reportet Carenado this error and they said i should try i reinstall, but this time selecting FSX instead of FSX:SE, however i tried that but unfortunately always the same Issue. I dont know what to do anymore, can anyone help? 

Regards,

Alex

Frame rates less than 5. Running FSX. I have a mid range system 4.6 on the CPU and a Titan X. So my system should not be overpowered. I have seen this in the past and sometimes it is cured by playing around with accesses to the Carenadonavigraph folder. So I changed some permissions and accesses with no joy. Before installing the 560 I uninstalled all my other Carenado aircraft as I have seen some interference in the past.

Right now this one is dead. I know I can go to the GTN but I would really like to have one of the Carenados actually work in "native mode".

I'd appreciate any ideas.

Thanks

Rick

Does anyone know what the sounds named AB1, AB2, and AB3 simulate? They are located in FSX/Sounds/Carenado/XL560/Basic. They run in the background constantly and I find them distracting. I finally changed the volume to very low on these sounds so now I hardly notice them. Just wondering....

Thanks

Rick

When I operate the knob via mouse and do logging to file or console, nothing is shown.

Already tried "Ap Alt Var Dec Fast", but that didn't do anything also ....

I was installing Chase Plane into My P3D v4.5 and a number of the keyboard shortcuts were getting in the way.  So I started removing the ones I don't use (which is quite a lot of them).

I think I deleted the " Shift+8" keyboard assignment. As you know, that assignment turns on the popup for setting the Aircraft State.

Needless to say, I can't do that now  So, if you have this aircraft, can someone look to see what command this shortcut launches so I can put it back in the keyboard assignments profile.

I've even gone so far as to delete the carenado folder and reinstalled it.  That didn't seem to work.

reference_datum_position = 0.0, 0, 0

station_load.0 =  190,  5, 0, 0
station_load.1 =  190,  5, 0, 0
station_load.2 =    0,  4, 0, 0
station_load.3 =    0,  3, 0, 0
station_load.4 =    0,  1, 0, 0
station_load.5 =    0,  1, 0, 0
station_load.6 =    0, -1, 0, 0
station_load.7 =    0, -1, 0, 0
station_load.8 =    0, -2, 0, 0

OK, and so then I looked at the C90 GTX and it has this (the comments are what I'm referring to, which the XLS doesn't have):

station_load.0 = 175,  2, 0,  1        //Weight (lbs), longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet)
.
.
station_load.9 = 110, -5, 0, -1        //Weight (lbs), longitudinal, lateral, vertical positions from datum (feet)

If these distances are in fact feet that would mean the 560XL's "station_load.0" which is the pilot's seat and "station_load.8" (the aft baggage compartment) are separated by only 7 feet longitudinally (5 feet ahead of the datum and -2 feet behind the datum = 7 ft). According to some specs I found on the web the XLS' overall length is 52.5 ft so I'm having a hard time with the 7 foot distance. If these XYZ station_load coordinates are actually in meters that would make the pilot's seat about 25 feet forward of the rear baggage compartment and that I could probably swallow. So what is it, are they in feet or meters? For that matter the GTX looks completely messed up too, same thing, 7 feet between the pilot's seat and the aft baggage compartment.

I was trying to make the 560's station loads a little more accurate, for one thing the last two seats in the back are completely missing so if you want to load the plane to it's max capacity of pilot & copilot + 8 passengers you have to add the last two passengers sitting on someone else's lap to get the weight where you want it and the moment arm is screwy because the last two occupants should be further back. Also laterally all the weights are exactly on the aircraft's centerline  at "0" which makes for a nice laterally balanced flight model but it isn't accurate.

I zeroed the eyepoint temporarily in the aircraft.cfg and then moved the VC viewpoint around to each seat (visually) one at a time and saved the flight for each position. Then I got the InitialXyz for each station from the .fxml which I'm told is in meters and tried to adapt that to the station_loads. They were fairly close to what Carenado had for the seats that existed, but then when I see the comments in the GTX [WEIGHT_AND_BALANCE] section  that these distances are supposedly in feet the discrepancy became apparent. It's not a big deal to convert meters to feet of course, I just don't know which is correct.

Any FDE experts reading that have done this before? Station loads in feet or meters?

I can't find reference to these anywhere in the documentation that came with it.  If I have P3Dv4.5 am I meant to use the aircraftp3dv44 file and just change it's name to aircraft???

For example, I know that an N1 setting of 93.6 (96.6 N2) will give me a stable cruise between M.714 and M.725 depending on atmospherics and wind, if I could have this set under the cruise detent it would make life a little easier

Win 10 Pro x64 all updates, P3D 4.4 HF2, Cessna 560XL and Premiere (there are no symbols in both planes)

Any suggestions, please!

I looked everywhere in the XL560 Carenado provided documentation , but ALAS no help.

On the stock XL560,What to do the following  acronyms in the Menu buttons at the bottom of the MFD stand for?

1. “SNGP”?
2. Select/Click SNGP -->” TO”?
3. “ST EL”?
4. “VANG”?

Finally , Where do I find the FD ( FlightDirector) switch. ?, I see the AP switch at the bottom right of  the CoPilot CDU  BUT no FD switch.

 How do I go about setting LFE and Minimums ?
