PMS50 GTN750 Project

Will this later be coming to the GNS530 / GNS430 models ?

Discovered the reason for my blank GTN screen was due to an aircraft I’m beta testing for a 3rd party developer causing conflict. Removed said aircraft from my community folder and the GTN750 functions again perfectly. I have made the developer aware of the conflict :slight_smile:

Just bought a 1 year subscrition of the GTN 750 Premium and after installing, tried an RNAV approach at KTPA rwy 01L via FITPA but on the final leg the glideslope indicator didn’t become active, so couldn’t couple with the autopilot. Am I doing anything wrong? Used to do this very same procedure in FSX with Fight 1 GTN 750 and all went fine.
Plane was an 172 G1000

Too high, perhaps, an average of 2,500 Ft ground.

RNAV works fine in the sim.
You must be at the FAF at the published altitude and the autopilt approach mode must have been set.

Did you put your NAV radio on the the ILS frequency? your CDI on VLOC? There are a nuber of things what can mess up your approach

For RNAV, there is no frequency to set and the CDI source must be set to GPS.

Oops misunderstood that, thought it was an ILS approach

I was under 2500 ft and the FAF was 2600, so this was not the problem. loaded and activated approach on the GTN 750, and it was set to GPS. Glideslope indicator should begin moving down way before the FAF as it did everytime as I said on FSX with Flight 1 GTN 750. IĀ“ll try other planes approaches to check. Also, installed the Premium versions but IĀ“m not seeing tiĀ“s featrues as terrain etc. Should I activate anything? There was a warning on the glideslope: ā€œNo GSā€

You have installed the G1000nxi?
If yes, the nxi has its own flight plan and it’s not syncronized with the sim flight plan. The GTN750 uses the sim flight plan. So if you do something in the GTN750 this will not be reported to the G1000nxi.
The 2 instruments are not compatible. Hope WT will fix that soon.

Oh, thst may be.the problem. I’ve tried to load the same procedure on the g1000 NXI but the controls are a pain in the ā– ā– ā– , it didn’t went through in the ā€œenterā€ input to activate the procedure. Hope Asobo get this sorted out ASAP.
Also, I can’t see the premium features in the GTN 750, there’s an activation key?

If you have a valid premium license, you need to enter it in the GTN50 Setup / Options /License menu.
See the documentation.

I installed the new version of the NXi thinking the compatibility with the GTN 750 had been fixed, but nope.
Now it’s even worse because with the new NXi version installed the GTN 750 doesn’t show up in the panel as before if we have it installed also. Looks like the NXi takes priority over the GTN and I get the NXi on the C172 G1000 instead of the GTN if I have both installed. Guess I’ll need to uninstall the NXi again until someone fixes these issues.

Sorry, looks like I had to reboot the PC for it to work after reinstalling the NXi. It’s shows the GTN now.

So am I missing something really obvious or is the gtn750 meant to load at a fixed location and size and cannot be resized or moved ?

Yes it can be resized and moved. Just read the doc :wink:
The way to do that will change in the next release.

Some of us are experiencing a bug that prevents us from being able to resize or move it in the way the doc explains. @ScorpionFilm422 said it’ll be fixed soon.

5hr flight yesterday and no issues.
It’s a really cool box of tricks and well worth the 25 for a year!
