![]() ![]() Expand the window vertically so that the part of on-screen panel is visible on the lower screen. But in this case you can do it only when X-Plane is in windowed mode. In X-Plane 10 it's also possible to "move" GPS to the LCD screen that is built into your cockpit panel. Popup GPS window on external monitor in X-Plane 10 It's your home cockpit! You can do anything you need, and there is no reason the GPS has to be detachable from your panel. Any plastic / PVC can be used as material, or even just hard cardboard and your hands!īesides, you can use any available LCD taken from an old monitor (any size) placed behind the panel's cover plate, so it's not necessary to try to find a small 5".7" LCD. Making such a GPS will cost you about $ 50 ($ 30 for 7 "LCD with a controller, $ 2. Its full width is almost exaclty the same as real GNS. But currently you can find LCD of any sizes on the market.Ī 7" display is wider than the GPS screen, but it's cheap and does not prevent placing the side buttons above it, because the screen is recessed into the faceplate. On AliExpress a 7" LCD screen with a controller. I've made it all by hand spending about 3 hours and using semi-hard PVC (often used as a signboard by advertisers), a knife, file and sandpaper: My Baron 58 GPS Face plate. Options: In total, you will need 18 to 22 inputs, so you can use either 2 multiplexers or one multiplexer and a few additional direct inputs (or extended inputs on another, already used multiplexer along with sone other inputs). So, your GPS will have only a few wires - 4 address bus lines, 2 inputs and GND (+5v can be taken from the LCD screen board or from the common power supply in your cockpit panel). Using just 2 multiplexer boards with RealSimControl and a small LCD screen you can make your GPS that can be either a separate module or just a mask attached to your main panel (as example of this, see the photo of our Baron 58 panel below). Note: You can use it for GNS430 and any other pop-ups, just rename it accordingly).ĭIY GPS module with RealSimControl Interface If you don't want (or can't) to create this "blank" 1x1 png file, you can download it here (right click and save) file for GNS530. If you want your GPS bezel to be blank for all planes, put these 1x1 files into bitmaps folder of X-Plane (don't forget to move or rename the original Garmin_530_2d.png or Garmin_430_2d.png files before adding these !!): "X-Plane_folder/Resources/bitmaps/cockpit/radios/GPS FMS/" If this folder doesn't exist, create it: "./Your_plane/cockpit/radios/GPS FMS/" Garmin_430_2d.png ) and put it in the "GPS FMS/" folder, located inside of your aircraft root folder. In short, you just need to create a small graphics PNG file 1×1 pixel ( named Garmin_530_2d.png or X-Plane 11 allows you to remove all GNS430/530, FMS and G1000 bezels - you can read how to do this on X-Plane developers website. When you use an external "stand-alone" module such as do-it-yourself GNS430/530, or G1000 built into your panel, you don't need their window bezel to be visible on the external LCD screen. How to remove bezels from popup instrument windows in X-Plane 11 ![]() Below are the examples of moving GNS530/430 onto a small 7" LCD display and a 19" monitor: Then, open the GPS window in X-Plane 11, undock it and move this window to the second monitor. First, open your display driver configuration tool and place your second monitor in the desired position. You can use a secondary display connected to your X-Plane 11 computer and just move GNS530 onto it. We absolutely do not support the fully open source drivers for AMD and NVIDIA.How to display GPS screen on additional monitor GPS on external monitor in X-Plane 11 You may be able to get X-Plane to run on the Mesa/Gallium driver with an Intel GPU, but this is unsupported. For Linux, we require the proprietary driver from AMD or NVIDIA to run X-Plane.With that in mind, we have developers using Ubuntu 14.04 and 16.04 LTS successfully. While X-Plane 11 will run on Linux, we don’t provide support for specific distributions if you want to run on Linux, you will need to try X-Plane on your distribution to see if it is compatible.El Capitan, Sierra, High Sierra, Mojave, Catalina) Video Card: a DirectX 12-capable video card from NVIDIA, AMD or Intel with at least 4 GB VRAM (GeForce GTX 1070 or better or similar from AMD).CPU: Intel Core i5 6600K at 3.5 ghz or faster.The full version of the simulator will perform exactly the same as the demo-neither better nor worse. If your system is borderline, we encourage you to try the demo first. Video Card: a DirectX 11-capable video card from NVIDIA, AMD or Intel with at least 1 GB VRAM.(Dual-core CPUs slower than 3 GHz should try the demo before purchasing.) CPU: Intel Core i3, i5, or i7 CPU with 2 or more cores, or AMD equivalent. ![]()
