PMS50 GNS530 mod

Yes but this should stay an indicator, not a waypoint part of the flight plan and followed by the autopilot.

The next release of the GTN750 will provide an option to clean the flight plan, removing these things.

Yes, almost certainly this is a bug. I will replicate tonight, then raise this with Zendesk. My tests were without the mod, so I know its not the 530 mod doing it.

Any reason not to just open the FP and “remove” the erroneous TIME waypoint?

We can’t. There are not part of the flight plan.

Please log this with Zendesk. I have already logged this bug, and they have added it to their tracker (was their response.) More tickets logged and it will get addressed. What is interesting is in the G1000NXI in the market pace these TIME waypoints don appear, nor does any user waypoints. Looks like this was added to help XBOX gamers line up with runways
 prefer it to be a choice, and use proper TOC and TOD and waypoints. It seriously messes with your flight path when adding POIs to the flight plan!

As was noted above by several people, I’m pretty sure it’s either a mistake or unfinished code is the reason we see these waypoints. Nothing more. No Xbox conspiracy or anything.

My bet is that development is very aware of it, and it’s scheduled in the sprints to finish it.

But you’re absolutely correct to zendesk it.

correct. It appears in the default G1000, but funnily enough not in the G1000NXI for download in the market place. But that mod doesn’t load the custom or user waypoints either. :slight_smile:

These appear in a flightplan created in the map, and any flightplan imported into the map from software such as LittleNavMap. I provided screenshots and the flight plans to ZENDESK. You are correct, they dont appear if you load the waypoints directly into the GPS. I would prefer to be able to import my flightplans directly into the GPS when sitting at parking. I am sure that feature has been requested elsewhere. Can you load USR waypoints using co-ordinates???

I’m sorry, I can’t answer your question. I never looked into it.

You can have user waypoints when you import flight plans.
We are currently working on the user waypoints creation but this will be for the GTN750 first.

Asobo has to stop adding “features” without clear documentation about what it does and why it is part of the update. Did these new waypoints fix a reported problem? If so, what problem did it fix? Is this new “feature” backwards compatible with older flight plans? Do flight plans without these waypoints break something in MSFS and maybe cause something like a CTD to happen?

Asobo has to stop doing this!

ASOBO need to either scrap this Flight planner or make another one, like a PRO PLANNER. A flight planner should not ever be adding anything you not have added. If your Flight plan is for Example

KTEB - MRL - ABC - DEF - KLCI then that is what it should be in the flight plan, then if you add SIDS and STARS they go in the appropriate place in the plan, every other SIM manages this very basic thing, why is this happening. It is a toy town system.

The weird one is when it adds that approach point to your destination airfield, which all looks fine till you add an enroute way point 100 miles away. and your flight plan now has you flying to the MS approach point on final at your destination, then turning back 100 miles to your enroute way point and then returning to the destination runway you just left.

Discussion about the map screen but should probably be moved/linked to the following thread:

I’ll ask some of my posts to be pulled from this thread, and moved over to that one.

New release 1.0.38

  • bugfix: the messages were not refreshed correctly
  • bugfix: the correct leg was not reactivated after a direct to an approach WP
  • bugfix: the OBS path was not displayed in directTo if there was an empty flight plan.
  • bugfix: the directTo was not working correctly.

Hey, love your mod! Thanks!

A but that I just found. The 530’s needle seems like it going in the oppsite direction, like reverse sensing on BC approach while the 430 displays the deflection correctly. In the follwing picture you can see the I am slightly to the right of the track. While the 430 tells me to correct to left, the 530 tells me to correct to the right.

@Barod4593 Sorry to go off topic, but what plane is that?

Kev

Well, it’s a twin engine turboprop if that helps you narrow it down
