RXP GTN 650 on MFD

[lennard78]

Hello,

It might be my ignorance, but I have understood that the MFD of the G500 should be able to display the RXP GTN650 map. I do get the PFD coupled to the RXP correctly but somehow the MFD still shows the Realsimgear maps and data. Since there is no manual, could anyone explain how to couple both G500 screens to the GTN650? I am using the default C172 which X-Aviation supplies with the G500 with a 2D panel for the GTN.

 

Thank you and best regards,

Lennard

Hi Lennard,

The GTN650 is capable of driving the G500, the G500's right display will still be the G500 though, it isn't replaced with the GTN650 there.

Hi Coop,

Thanks for your quick reply. Good to know that the GTN does not drive the righthand screen, but unfortunately I am still somewhat puzzled. One of the things is the flightplan: when I enter any flightplan into my RXP 650, the G500 only shows maximally one (the first) waypoint, none of the other points of the flightplan, and I get only a line to the first waypoint obviously, as a consequence (see screenshot). I had understood that there was no waypoint limitation when using RXP? The G500 is not copying the GTN waypoints.

The other unclear point to me is the map on the G500, as I can only get a very roughly pixeled map without any airspace boundaries or other airspace or obstacle information (please see screenshot). Also, checking the original G500 manuals, there should be a whole range of display options through the 'Map Setup'  menu, but the only display options that pop up is a page with choices for North Up, autozoom, viewing ranges of airspace classes and airways, but the menus and options seem to not follow the original G500 manuals. I must do something wrong here as, according to the X-Aviation G500 product page, I should be able to have a choice of all these map details.    

If you could point me to the right direction to solve these issues, I would appreciate it! 

Many thanks,
Lennard

Regarding the GTN, there is a setting in the GTN options for it to output the GTN's flight plan as simulator waypoints, which the G500 then automatically reads.

Regarding airspace, we are only showing airspace where we had an available data set for, not all countries had a proper dataset we could use. 

Regarding settings, while this G500 is not 1:1, there are map related settings via the menu button -> map setup page, as well as system settings available under the aux group.
