Integrating the GTN750

[bpieke]

I just got the Beaver, after reading the wonderful "The Immortal Beaver" book, and was happy that GTN750 integration is provided.

If you own the Flight1 GTN750, there are a couple of things you may want to do, to make the GTN integration work for you..
As always, at your own risk

1. Edit the F1GTN.ini file(s).. the default is rather sparse and a better experience can be had by adding a few lines.. (You may be able to do the same by using the F1GTN Config app btw..)

Here is mine:

[GTN750.1]
Radios=0
Autopilot=1
Mouse=1
Link CRS=1
Auto CRS=1
CPU Core=2 // set this to whatever core(s) you want the GTN to run on
Airplane=1
VC Brightness=10
TAWS Voice=1
AVDB=0

2. To allow Autocourse to work, you need to disable one line in the Airplanes\DHC-2 Beaver Milviz\panel\DH2\DHC2_SysEvents.xml file.
Back up first!
Using Notepad, search for: @OnEvent(VOR1_SET,@VOR1_SET)
Disable this line by changing to: <!-- @OnEvent(VOR1_SET,@VOR1_SET) -->
Save the file.

3. The KAP140 does not track a teardrop turn properly without losing NAV mode halfway through.
If you have run into this, here is how you fix it.. Back up first!
Edit the Airplanes\DHC-2 Beaver Milviz\panel\C310_XMLGauges\MV_KAP140Display.xml file.
Using Notepad, search for:
(A:AUTOPILOT NAV1 LOCK, bool)
l6 -30 &lt; l6 30 > or and
if{
(>K:AP_WING_LEVELER_ON)

}

Disable these lines by changing to:
<!-- (A:AUTOPILOT NAV1 LOCK, bool)
l6 -30 &lt; l6 30 > or and
if{
(>K:AP_WING_LEVELER_ON)

} -->
Save the file.

Now your GTN750 will track the teardrop without losing NAV mode.
