The title says it all. I'm not sure what's wrong.

I have the same problem. XP 11.11. RXP GTN 750 latest version.

If I pop out the panel using the aircraft menu, I get the GNS 530.

The GTN 750 pops out fine with an assigned keyboard shortcut.

I'm using the Arrow III since their release with GTN750 without any problems.

Yesterday I've purchase the new Turbo Arrow and I've updated the Arrow III.
My XPlane is running with the latest version and RealityXP-GTN  as well.

With the Turbo Arrow I've the same problem as MatthewM...blank panel screen but working pop-up.

What I did some minutes before: copying the GTN-ini file from the Arrow III folder into the Turbo Arrow folder and this works...the panel screen is going live after loading the plane like the Arrow III.

Maybe it's just a coincidence but worth a try...don't forget to make a copy of the original.


safe landings

Hi MatthewM,

The reason it is not working is due to the RealityXP.GTN.ini from the Turbo Arrow folder is not configured for the 3D cockpit. Open up the .ini file and add the following at the bottom of the file and save it:

[GTN_750_1.PANEL3D]
; display window if true.
visible = true
; show screen only gauge if true.
nobezel = true
; display type: WINDOW,PANEL2D,PANEL3D,PANELS
frame.type = PANEL3D
; display position and dimension (left,top,width,height)
frame.rect = 1218,2048,830,1024
; screen only border size (pixels).
border.size = 0
; screen only border color (#RGB or #RGBA).
border.rgba = #000000
; enable mouse option: NONE,POPUP,TOUCHSCREEN
usemouse = TOUCHSCREEN
 

then edit the line that reads

drawto = WINDOW, PANELS
to 
drawto = WINDOW, PANELS, PANEL3D

Still doesn't work.
And it's clear that you haven't read the thread.

I've purchased Both Arrows, and the GTN is working fine in the Standard Arrow But just a bezel with blank screen in the Turbo Arrow.

I have read the thread but I forgot to mention that you need to also edit the line that reads

drawto = WINDOW, PANELS
to 
drawto = WINDOW, PANELS, PANEL3D

Merry Christmas!

Didn't work. Something wrong with the aircraft.

How do I attach the .ini file?

I have a feeling that someone will get angry if I post the entire thing.

I don’t see why it would anger anybody as it doesn’t contain any proprietary information; it is just a configuration file. Please post it and I will take a look at it or you can PM it to me if you’d prefer.

I have this issue too, which is awkward since I fly with an Oculus Rift and the popout screens don’t show. I must say though, as a pilot with a good few hours in a Cherokee, the experience of flying the Arrow in VR is jawdroppingly good - so a thousand thanks to the developers.
Has anyone had any luck with changing the .ini file as suggested above?
