Woaw ! Let me try this on the mooney. I am excited!

[hobanagerik]

I’ll try this out on the group flight later.

@ScorpionFilm422 Well done!

[ScorpionFilm422]

There is still more things to do with this GNS530 but for me now it’s usable.

Opened to any feedback.

[Mermoz4481]

I tried the direct to an approach waypoint and it doesn’t work for me

[Mermoz4481]

it doesnt seem to work for me on the mooney… is there a quick way to know if the mod is correctly loaded?

[hobanagerik]

@ScorpionFilm422

Any chance you could host this on Github, like some other modders have done? You can then run a "git clone " for the initial download, and “git pull” to get any updates you may release.

[ANSOUIS]

That sounds very good !!! downloading and testing it right now !!

THX !

[HeliBrewer]

I will test this out in the Mooney, the 530 was the weak link in the Mooney. Strong Work!

[TeamMM3]

Looks great! I’ve added it to the community aircraft mods megathread, not sure if you have a github or other location for the most up to date version but otherwise I’ll try and check to see when it’s been updated so I can update the megathread. Awesome work, thank you!

[ScorpionFilm422]

To see if it is installed you can have have a look on the nearest airport list: there is a line separating each airport.
Maybe you have some other mods installed that should break mine ?
If you have the working Title G1000 mod also installed and not updated to the last version, it may break my mod.

[ScorpionFilm422]

It may conflict with some other mods changing standard navsystes files.

Please let me know if you have a conflict with some other plugins. I will check.

[LovesickChief13]

Yah, I pulled the question because I had the Mooney in mind and it’s not in the community folder.

[ScorpionFilm422]

I can github it. I will post a reply to this post when ready.

[ScorpionFilm422]

Yes there is a chance. I will do it.

[Mermoz4481]

I do have the G1000 mod installed . I will remove it tonight and try it again.

[ScorpionFilm422]

Which version of G1000 mod ?
It must be the last version. I also have it and it works with my mod.

[Mermoz4481]

G1000 0.3.0 i do i have the last one I believe

[ScorpionFilm422]

No last one is 0.3.1 and they especially made a modification in order to avoid conflicts with thid party mods in this last update.

see Release: Working Title G1000 v0.3 (1.9.3.0 compatible) - updated to v0.3.1 on 5 Oct!

[Mermoz4481]

Sorry dude I will try it then
