The newest GitHub version of the GNS530 mod is running.
Ah and now I know where the problem is!
The GNS530 mod is not supporting high resolutions, and the Carenado radio panel has a resolution of 1024 x 1024.
I am using the GNS530 with the PMS50 mod … when I select an ILS approach and transition, and subsequently activate it, it seems to go ‘direct to’ the FAF not the IAF. I have to manually add ‘direct to’ the IAF to be able to fly the ILS …
For example I just flew to KDET ILS 33, and selected transition OBZOF (which is the IAF). GPS took me straight to GOMAC whcih is the FAF.
This behaviour seems wrong, or at least different to G1000nxi.
It is confusing – at least it is to me - maybe because I do not follow every post on the subject.
If WT is now going to be talking over the Development of Garmin systems (For MSFS 2020) ,and even AP system in MSFS - it would be helpful if there was some official Plan laid out, describing exactly what is being done , and by who, and what the ultimate goal is, as far as standardization in MSFS.
Asobo - WT - PMS50 - (TDS, RXP etc and Others TBD) - how is this all Planned to come together into one standard system, going forward, as standard in MSFS.
I realize that future plans may change, and that’s fine, but at least give a clear outline of the direction that things are currently planned to go, and the update that information as things change.
A descriptive Plan, that the average Flight Simmer / Gamer can understand
I don’t use the 750 but isn’t there two versions if your plane supports it, one with WT support and one without? The one with WT support I believe requires that you also have the WT G1000nxi from the marketplace installed.
Anyway, that’s more of a topic for the GTN750 thread and not here.
Agree. I use the class Echo and the touchscreen of the 750 is not supported. It’s much easier for me to control the 530/430 combo with the external class echo.
I am not a big fan of touchscreens in real aircraft (turbulence makes them annoying to use.) … And in MSFS touch screens don’t work when popped out to another screen
really? Try change your 5 char next nav fix with knob or via touch screen You have of course some other options with knobs like nearest and quick select but after you’ve set that I can set maybe 5 of them. This is also big advantage of that touch screens, especially in bussy flight and atc need manage outside traffic flow.
I have tried many times to use a touch screen while flying in bumpy air. It’s awful. I hit the wrong place all the time. “Noooo! I didn’t want to go to that screen!” “Grrrrr”.
I’m much faster with a 530 when I’m flying.
I’m usually flying alone, or with someone who’s totally unfamiliar with avionics.
