A few months ago, Robert Temmerman in Belgium wrote me an email about a new addon (by that time) in Flightsim.to, which could replace the G1000 or GNS430/530 on quite a lot of aircraft in MSFS with a Garmin GTN750.

I totally forgot about this.  Sorry Robert.  The addon is called “JDS PMSGTN750 on Others Mod” by JayDee, and it looks awesome.

(Edit: That’s one of the reasons why I created a Discord Server recently, so that friends of FSXTimes could exchange suggestions and tips like this via the Server to others more efficently.)

Instead of using the GTN750 in the virtual cockpit directly, Robert said he would moved the GTN750 pop-out display to his iPad first.  Then he could control the GTN750 and accessed his Navigraph charts via the touch screen.

To pop out the display, he said one could hold on the right [Alt] key on the keyboard, and move the mouse over the instrument and left-click on it.   That will do.

For the connection between his computer and the iPad, he used the payware Duet Display.  He suggested Spacedeck, another payware, be an alternative.

However, he mentioned that the connection was slow although the “touchscreen” part works fine.

If you are not aware of the addon yet, check it out here.  There are enhancements after updates, too.

Thank you, Robert.
