Cherokee Reality XP GPS known issues
Posted: 25 May 2014, 16:33
Hey guys. Based on popular demand, we decided to integrate RealityXP GPS'es in our plane and we wanted to make the integration as seamless as possible. Unfortunately, the gauge developer cannot be reached and we had to work out all the stuff ourselves, without any support. Turns out, there are still some issues that require manual configuration edits. Sorry for that.
1. FSX crashes instantly with the rxpGNS.dll as the faulty module.
This happens when you own only GNS530. Replace the panel.cfg in your FSX\SimObjects\Airplanes\A2A_Cherokee\panel with the files provided in this zip.

Unfortunately we can't detect this situation automatically, because the gauge is the same in both cases, only the license key is different. We tried to contact the gauge developer about this issue.
2. No NAV control for GNS430.
In the default setup GNS530 drives the NAV1 CDI. You can change that by bringing in the GNS430 2D panel and right clicking on the memory card slot. This is described in detail in the RelaityXP GPS user manual
3. VOR1 Frequency tuned on the GNS530 doesn't control VOR1 indicator
You have to switch to any different GPS panel layout (for example NO GPS) and turn on the second Bendix King KX 155. After that you can return to GNS 530 panel layout. The position of that power switch is remembered, so you have to set this only once.
4. I want GNS530 to tune COM2/NAV2
You can switch between 1st and 2nd COM/NAV at any time by right clicking one of the GNS530 frequency transfer buttons.
