Connecting Realsimgear GNS430 to DCS NS430

[BaD CrC]

Just wanted to share with you guys the status of this small project. Still trying to figure out the viewport export for DCS though, but everything else works great.

Actually, I found just after posting the video how to directly export the display without having to use another software like Ultramon.

Thank you

Nice!

Nice!

This looks awesome! Really nice

Would you be willing to share your arduino code? I haven't a clue how to set this up, and DCS-BIOS doesn't seem to have presets for the NS430.:helpsmilie::pilotfly::joystick:

For some reason this isn't working for me. I've selected it in the settings and rebooted, but I can't get the thing to show anywhere. I have two 1080p monitors side by side, with DCS on the right one, then I have the 530 set to be to the right of the DCS monitor, with the upper right corner of the DCS monitor next to the upper left corner of the 530. using the native resolution of the 530 which is 1280x720.

 

Any advice?

Thanks! T

Got it worked out. It ended up being that I had to set my total screen resolution in game to wide enough to fit the 530.

A full tutorial is now up on Hoggit. It's working for me. Looks like the DCSFlightPanels fork of DCS-BIOS (https://github.com/DCSFlightpanels/dcs-bios) has the NS430 integrated based on the above work.

pretty neat, tho the hardware is a bit too pricey for something only usable in mi8 & l39 at the moment (and foreseeable future) for us vr pilots

[BaD CrC]

All the modules that don't have a GNSS based navigation system can have the NS430 as a popup window so not as integrated in the cockpit but still usable. For example, I am using it in the Huey.

Im sure it works fine for you, but i mentioned for us vr pilots- the 3d asset is only usable in two acft for some reason, and popup window doesn't work in vr, which is fine-i really wouldn't want it to

[BaD CrC]

Oh. Yes, VR is broken indeed.

This is really neat to see! would like to see more civilian aircraft (or derived military aircraft) and assets added into dcs personally.

Sorry to revive such an old topic, but quick question. I see that (disappointingly) the pop-up doesn't work in VR. But does the export to a 2nd screen work if you're in VR? I.E. If Bad CrC was to use this realsimgear thing while in VR, would it export proplery?

[BaD CrC]

I am not flying in VR with the realsimgear Apache600. 

[hannibal]

i built a home made NS430.

 

unfortunately, our control boxes only are functional with 3d enable aircraft (L39, C101, and Mi8)

 

please ED, allow pop up window to function in VR!!

with new open beta 2.7.9.17830, going to see if it is good with VR as a pop up window...

SO EXCITED
