PMS50 GTN750 Project

No but you can use the toolbar GTN750.

You would need the TDS for that.

Thought the TDS mod was for the Dakota, did MarcFSX make one for the 172 also?

We should probably take further discussion along this line to a TDS related thread rather than here.

Guess I’ll be buying the TDS soon if PMS doesn’t come up with a similar solution. Thanks.

dlDoes this mean that gtn650 is out of bounds for xbox? Im asking particularly for gf doublender (fs20 xbox)

If you are on PC, there is a mod that puts the PMS GTN in GNS530 and 430 bezels in various 2024 aircraft, including the classic C172.

For me that’s not an option. We need it with the correct bezels like marcfsx did with TDS. With 530 bezels it breaks immersion for me.

I thought I had already tried that mod along with the jdee mod dependency, but it did not show up for me in the 172 steam guage version in 2024. I’ll give it another try. I was using add ons linker, maybe I’ll try with the files directly in community folder and see if that makes a difference.

That was probably the 2020 version, which due to the file structure changes does not work with the 2024 C172. The mods for 2024 are a separate download, linked above.

I’ve got all 3 mods in my 2024 community folder, latest versions though JayDee dependency is newest old 2020 version.
But no joy here


I’ve tried basic and cargo variants.
Is it working for you?

It is working here. Fortunately, JayDee’s dependency still works in 2024. A couple of things to try:

  1. Open content.xml and verify that <Package name="communityfs20-a24-otbu-gtn650-asobo-c172" active="Activated"/> is present. It should get picked up when you load the sim, but for some reason on my system, this one didn’t ā€œtakeā€ on the first sim load after installation.
  2. Change the ordering of the mod in relation to the C172 using the package reorder tool in Dev mode. I didn’t have to do this and I don’t think you should either, but it might be worth a shot.

@OneToBeamUp3871 thank you for your help, I see that you are the developer of this integration mod.

The only thing different on my machine is that I have renamed the folders of your mod and the jaydee mod before putting them in the community folder, so I have these folders in my community folder:
pms50-instrument-gtn750
ZZZJDGTN750MAIN23
zzzzpms50-gns530_172 (this is your mod renamed)

This also corresponds with what I see in Content.xml:

<Package name="communityfs20-pms50-instrument-gtn750" active="Activated"/>
<Package name="communityfs20-zzzjdgtn750main23" active="Activated"/>
<Package name="communityfs20-zzzzpms50-gns530_172" active="Activated"/>

I was shortening the folder names to make the overall paths shorter, I’ve never had troubles caused by using different folder names but could that be an issue with your mod?

Still no joy here, was hoping not to have to mess with dev tools, but I can try that if you think it might help.

@joeaudacious taking this to DMs to avoid cluttering this thread too much.

C404 will not work as pictured on TO, nor the Goat. I have them installed via community folder. No PMS50.

Just to close the loop, thanks to your DM help it is working, issue was pilot error on my end.
Very nice to have the GTN in my 172! Many many thanks!
