I’ve had luck so far, flew from SFO-STS and did a coupled ILS with actual weather at mins. I’m still getting use to the knobology but I think I’ll really like the Mooney with this mod.
I noticed a couple small things that I will document and try to get screen shots.
Many thanks for that one! Regarding ETE, I noticed it is correct when you fly a direct-to. When flying a flightplan, it is showing the total time to the end of the flightplanned route instead of the next waypoint, thats the reason for the too high numbers. Maybe it can be corrected as well.
For ETE, I don’t know. I must check.
For RAD info, there is another mod that is not compatible with mine but the author gave me the right to include it in my mod. This will be done no late than today.
That’s simple: it’s a fs2020 bug (one more). They inverted the sim var return value between ETA and ETE. I sent a zendesk issue to fs2020.
Now I can correct it for my GPS mod and will do it but I should reverse this correction the day they correct this bug.
Sure at this time when they correct the bug in a new update, I will get some replies from users saying that my mod as inverted ETE and ETA since last update !!! Ahahah
Nice. I literally just downloaded it, but one tip I would suggest is that you have a sub folder within the repository called “pms50-gns530”, and put all the data inside that.
The reason I say this is I don’t know what MSFS will make of the hidden .git folder.
If you have a look at what other developers have done, for example the C152X mod, it looks like this:
I would copy over that “C152X” sub-folder, rather than the entire git repository. If MSFS looks straight through the .git folder then it doesn’t really matter, but I haven’t tested this.
One benefit of this method is I don’t have to manually copy that folder, or script it. It can be installed in situ, cloning directly into the “Community” folder, which is pretty cool!
Great that you put it up on github for us. I was hoping to try this out soon. Can I recommend you look into using tags and the github releases next time you want to make a zip at a stable checkpoint?
Have a look to this mod with more features. I just test it and is much better maybe you can contact the person in charge and implement it both together.
GNS 530
VOR/RAD/DIS (VLOC window) displays correctly, and switches to say LOC (and no RAD/DIS) when an ILS frequency is entered
