Is it possible to use the RXP GTN 750 with knobster?

Yes with an Air Manager overlay. The knobster only interacts with AM instruments so you use this to control the GTN. Its the same principal as is used with the xplane GNS 530, GNS 430 and G1000.

Pretty easy to make the bezel. Only a couple dials and buttons and a few RealityXP custom X-plane commands.

You make one. It’s very basic as only a few controls because normally the touch screen is used to control everything.

Not specifically for any instrument/overlay but once you grasp the concepts of the coding API you will understand how an overlay is made. It’s just a collection of some of the API functions. Learn the individually and then combine them to make an instrument.

The best way to get into the API is to check out the wiki API pages and watch the tutorial videos linked in my signature below.

Enjoy.
