Can't Install the GTN750 into the VC

Post by ark1320 »

I have not been able to install the GTN750 into the Cherokee VC. I had tried using the Flight1 configuration tool, and selected the GTN750 using the A2A Cherokee Aircraft Configurator for FSX. The GTN 750 does not appear as one of the GPS options on the Mini Controls popup. I can get the GTN750 to display as a popup under Views/Instrument Panel. I've run the latest A2A update, and use FSX on a Win7/64 system.
Would appreciate hearing any ideas on what the problem might be.
Thx,
Al

Did you ever get this figured out? I have same problem. Tried reinstalling aircraft, flight1, and A2A configuration update.
Was working perfectly, until yesterday.

Tommy,
I suspect the problem is related to the panel.cfg file not being "modified" correctly for the GTN750, although I have run the latest update.

Are you running the aircraft config tool as admin, via right click run as admin?

Remember you do not need to run the flight1 tool at all.

At first, running the aircraft config tool as admin did not help. I then went back and reran the latest core update, then ran the aircraft config tool as admin again, and that worked. I am the only user and the administrator on my computer, so not sure if running as administrator is what made the difference or not, but it seems so.

Thanks for the help, Lewis.

BTW, where on the Forum or main A2A site are the A2A instructions for installing the GTN 750, or the other 3rd party GPS units for that matter -- could not find them.

Thx,
Al

Hello,

in the manual for the integration.

And yes running as admin is different to being an admin account. Since Windows Vista windows took on a server style thing of system and local administrators.

Lewis,
Exactly what manual of integration are you referring to and where can I find it? I have searched the A2A website and Flight1 GTN Users Manual but cannot find anything about installing the GTN units into A2A aircraft. I've also checked my A2A and Flight1 folders - no manual of integration found. Please point me in the right direction.
Thx,
Al
