Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
• Both CDI needles for VOR receivers 1 and 2 remain tied to the OBS button on the Garmin 530, despite not being installed in this variant (Radios only). Pressing a keybind for the 530 OBS button enables radio navigation on both CDIs.

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
• The bug is well described by OP. I see the same behaviour.
It is a shame that in about the only career mode flyable aircraft with steam gauges, The most important ones don’t work.
As it stands, this variant makes no sense - the autopilot Nav mode works off GPS, yet there is no GPS unit (unless there’s a magical connection to the EFB). And the viable alternative, which some of us would be happy to use, does not work.
Incidentally there was a related bug in 2020 with a workaround via the GPS unit, which we now don’t have.
Please fix the NAV radios, or reinstate the Garmin option, or both.
This should get some priority since the Beaver is somewhat forced on career mode players.
Straight face.

Do you know what that bind is? I tried finding it yesterday but had no success.

The bind to toggle your NAV needles between GPS and radio input is “TOGGLE TACAN DRIVES GPS” and “TOGGLE GPS DRIVES NAV1”, btw. I believe you only need to press the TACAN toggle to switch it. Took ages to find those…

Works for the OBS, but I couldn’t get the AP NAV to couple to it

That’s a shame, I’ve had some other issues with the Beaver’s AP so I usually stick to heading and VS mode.
