Hi, thanks for all of the improvements :)

Some small details I have noticed:

1. The carb temp indicator still teleports around a lot like before

2. The AP disconnect button no longer disconnect the AP but enables the Avitab (the normal planned Avitab Hotspot above and to the right also works)

Re 1, we talked with Austin at LR and they confirmed that this is an X-Plane bug and he is working on a fix.

Re 2, I will look into that, odd. Thanks for letting me know

This has been resolved. Re-download new installer file and run it. Thanks for the report!

Hi!, One of the beauties of this airplane is the sound!, The new re-mixed sounds (or values changed) seems a little distorted on the inside (a bit on the lower end... I am a Sound engineer myself ) and the prop flapping noise which is very unique to this plane apparently have been reduced now, is like inside the engine rumble.  This sound is loud inside the real plane (I've flown it). Is there a possibility to revisit the sounds?  Or a way to have the old sounds back?... (Like re-installing the old version/files)? The prop flapping was great in the old version.

Panel lighting is now great!, and yes carb needle is jumping like crazy :)

 

Great job... is getting better!

Hi

 

Is anyone with the Gtn 750/650 not getting the bezel on them when you click to get the popup, not having this means you cant move them around the screen.

 

Anthony

No bezels on either GTN when they pop out for me either. Also my 650 pops out on the right of screen and is stuck there. I cannot drag it anywhere.

Other than that and the small faults pointed out above, I just did a 2 hour flight and the new version was fantastic to fly. A big thank you again to the hard work of the developers. The new manual with the performance tables is far better to.

Hi

 

I just checked the GTN.ini file  the problem is the "nobezel" is set wrong,

 

Backup the original file first RealityXP.GTN.ini

search for "nobezal and set to false.

Only change the   [GTN_750_1.WINDOW] and [ GTN_650_2.WINDOW]  section of the file not the Panel one

don't alter[GTN_750_1.PANELS] or  the [GTN_650_2.PANELS]

works fine now

Thank you for your investigation of that one for me...the fix worked perfectly and I can now drag both of them around the screen.
