RealSimGear GTN750 vs Real Avionics vs Home Grown review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 авг 2024
- This is a comparison/review of a Real GTN 750, the RealSimGear and my own home made GTN 750 (both running the RXP in XP11).
Note that I also used Air Manager with an Arduino for part of my project as you will see.
All in all I'm really happy with my solution. Any questions, please ask!
For information, the GTN series has had an update. The new models end in xi. They have upgraded screens and processing so even more responsive.
Yeah they are super nice indeed! There was. G500 TXi next to this when I filmed the real unit
So you use the reality xp software they made for the 750.?
Interesting. Been debating on getting the realsimgear 750, I use one in my irl flying but seeing that touch delay is a bit concerning. Glad I caught your review.
Yeah it’s a shame. But I hated bashing them. I will say that the build quality really was lovely and I’d have no reservations recommending other non touch products like their G1000 or 530
Thanks for the review mate!
I too have been debating the RealSimGear GTN 750, a screen with Air Manager, etc. I hope you can answer a few questions. What iPad you are using? How did you get the iPad working with the knob? Would you mind making a how to video on this setup? The Arduino connecting to the button and iPad blows my mind! This might be the best way as responsiveness is my biggest concern. Thanks for showing this.
I am using a an iPad Air, but you honestly could use a base model iPad. The iPad does not talk to the knob. the knob is wired to the arduino which is connected tot eh PC via USB. That talks to air manager. Look back at some of my previous videos. It’s fairly easy if you know some basic electronics
Nice work on the home made GTN. Hoping you can answer a couple of questions for me:
- What software do you use to get the GTN 750 on the iPad? Spacedesk or something else?
- Do you have the link handy for the dual gang pot?
Many thanks!
I found Duet was more reliable. But if you want to do more than one iPad spacedesk is ok. And google “ec11 dual encoder”
@@expataviator7107 Many thanks for the reply, it looks like I can buy a dual encoder from PropWash sim that includes the knobs. Did the Thingiverse design you used include the buttons or did you make that separately?
@@nzcirruspilot you can buy propwash with the knobs but quite expensive. No, I made those myself in Blender.
Nice work! How did you manage the FPS drop using that setup? Thanks in advance.
Was never really bad enough to be noticeable on my setup
Did you sort out the colour markings on the buttons? I can 3d print these duel colour for you if required
Hey thanks for the offer, I actually went on to laser etching paint off white 3d prints
Hi , Will you have the GTN 750 STL for sale with the relal measurements?
It’s available for free on thingiverse
@@expataviator7107 Can you link that particular one, i do not see that one. Thanks and very nice review.

Nice tutorial.... Thanks for sharing this ..... What size screen is your I Pad???? Thanks again
10inch iPad Air
@@expataviator7107 Thanks for the fast response.... Thats what I thought... You did a great job....👍
omg this is amazing
Thanks!
Just font think the janky iPad setup is any better than the realsim gear one. Also tested the touch responsiveness and its just as laggy (worse, sometimes becsuse of the remote screen latency) than your video shows the real sim gear one to be.
You can see it in your video too.
Where did you get the3d program for G750 bezzel?
The STL? From thingiverse
Actually in checked and asked many other users. I guess your unit has some problem. Almost everyone told me that works flawlessly.
Have you tried the TDS GTNXi 750 on the Real Sim 750 unit and is it more responsive?
No but it’ll have the same problem
@@expataviator7107 Why? Is the lag on RSG's side or the Garmin Trainer?
@@manic_miner on the RSG touch screen. As you can see with the one I made with the iPad it’s perfect and thats running the Garmin Trainer via the RXP module in XP11 and while I’ve not tried it on TDS I’d put money on that my iPad solution would be fine
@@expataviator7107 appreciate your honesty, I'll continue using my ipad then! Thank you
@@manic_miner anytime. As I say, it’s a great unit, well made and great customer support ….just that lag wasn’t for me
nice work! what is the screen for the altitude alert?
It’s just more iPad screen behind the panel. But that part of the screen is a gauge I modified in Air Manager
@@expataviator7107 ah brilliant and thats all through Duet connection?
@@philipjensen6442 right. Also had good results with spacedesk too
@@expataviator7107 problem im having with duet is it slows down my XP-11 a fair bit. might see how spacedesk looks
What 3D printer do I need to do this? Thanks!
You could print this on most any PLA filament printer. Milne is a Sindoh DP200 but it’s honestly overkill. It’s just what I have
where did you get the bezels file of G 750?
Thingiverse
@@expataviator7107 THANKS
Can I buy this from you?
This one is now part of my king air cockpit. I don’t think they are really robust enough for sale :)
I meant buy the realsimgear GTN 750 from you@@expataviator7107
GARMIN GTN 750 - $17,000 USD....Real Sim Gear GTN 750 - $500 USD, so it is difficult to compare!!!
There's much more to the real Garmin than just a screen, two encoders and a couple of buttons. 90% of the flightsim peripherals are massively overpriced. For example GA single-engine throttle/mix/prop quadrants at around 1000 USD.
