PMS50 GTN750 Project

sure… just need some time… that’s it


p.s. about issue - i’ll try explain again - example - i flight corsair open from tool bar gtn, select nearest airport tab then close gtn window, open again, and nearest airports tab show airports with old range data and without vectors, range at airports in the nearest tab frozen - no changes… and very old issue is just image of gtn in the external window too, gone corrupt to just green mess until i restart gtn window… hope this help

I don’t know, we can’t reproduce that issue.

Maybe some screenshots of what you are seen would assist?

as i mention i very really very rare use gtn750 as external gps, and those bug same rare or even rarest, but if i catch one of that’s bugs or both i will make capture, i think it’s easy to reproduce, just close use different mods, close windows and title, then start again, then again close - i don’t sure but i think problem starts only after reopen gtn

I hope this will not end up being a prolonged issue, but I fear it might.
The switch over from the original Asobo Flight Planning, to the new WT more advanced system, will impact may existing parts of the sim, and many existing addons.

Getting all this sorted, and everyone onto the new FP systems may well be a painful process … but lets hope not.

For the time being, it seems one really needs to decide each time one is going to start MSFS, which planes and GPS system one is going to use, and ensure that conflicting GPS systems are temporally NOT leaded up when the sim starts.

The new map presentation, closer to the RW GPS.

Looks great – looks like it may have got rid of the MSFS Magenta CURVES ??
If so – FANTASTIC :+1:

Still hoping to see the Com & Nav Station Identities, included under the Frequencies ( I know. always wanting more !!)

Yes, no more curves.
For the frequencies, I don’t see what has changed. There is no variable to get the current COM active frequency name. I tried to ask the dev team but I’m not sure to have an answer.

I believe the NAV name is available in the API

Calculation of the nearest COM freq’s name/type could be done in the JS !!, but it would be a lot easier if it was included in the API

A “detail” suggestion

Currently the pms50 GTN750 initializes on Power Up to the menu Screen

pms-start

Could it instead, initialize to the Status Screen, like the Real World Unit does.

Something like :

but really the PMs50’s Status Screen

pms-status

with
(1) Current date & Time
(2) The Start and end date for the Navigraph Database
(provided in Navigraph json file)
(3) CONTINUE button on Screen

And maybe even The Software Version and Database Version in RED, if Out of Date

Oh YES !!! Fantastic — Can’t wait for SU6 !!!

It’s easy to sometimes forget what you have tuned to – having that info makes life so much easier ( and Safer)

Was that COM name/Facility also added to the API for SU6, or did you need to calculate it with a nearest search. ?

Added as sim variables

Anything similar going on with the Nav side ??

ie

Nav-ICAO

For the NAV we have only the active information, not the standby one.

2 Likes

Well, that is far better than nothing … you can always do a quick SWAP-SWAP to see what the Nav standby is.

Not so clever to do that with the COM radios, if you are using the Active Freq !!

SU7 API maybe – WT should be needing it as well
