Adjusting Vne on the Garmin G3X

User Support Hub SDK

I’ve searched the forum but cannot find any info on this. The Xcub is my go to plane but I’d like a little more speed out of it (160knts) It’s easy enough to alter the engine performance and flight model but I cannot find out how to adjust the Vne speed on the PFD to stop it alarming. Is this an easy thing to do?

I haven’t done this, but take a look at cockpit.cfg:

[AIRSPEED]
min =0
lowLimit =40
white_start =40
white_end =70
green_start =41
green_end =117
yellow_start =118
yellow_end =144
red_start =0
red_end =0
highLimit =145
max =200

These map to the PFD. Your overspeed alarm is coming from panel\panel.xml:

	<Alert>
		<Type>SoundOnly</Type>
		<SoundEvent>aural_overspeed</SoundEvent>
		<Condition>
			<Simvar name="OVERSPEED WARNING" unit="bool"/>
		</Condition>
	</Alert>

I’m not sure if this is a complete set of things you need to look at though.

Thanks. I deleted the overspeed from the .xml before posting and I still got the alarm?
Also, I’m not 100% but I think the cockpit.cfg only applies to chase view. I’ve tried that on the savage before (but that has steam gauges). I’ll try it again tonight after work.

Unfortunately, neither worked.

I’ve found the aural warning in the .xml in the sound folder (funny that). Still can’t find where to adjust the PFD speed tape colours though.
