Added an RSG GNS430 & GNS 530. Love the gear when it works. However, on most occasions the GNS530 does not get recognized as a USB connection by Windows. Nothing to do with the sim at all, Windows just doesn’t even recognize that it is connected when you look under Ports in Device Manager. Restart, shut down and then restart - same problem. Shut the sim down for a couple of hours or a couple of days, then you come back and everything works fine. Anybody have this gear and have a similar problem? I’ve been working with RSG support - the sent me a replacement GNS530 and it is doing the same thing as the first one.

In case anyone stumbles across this someday…
In addition to the RSG 430/530 that I’m running, I also have a circuit board which controls some Flight Illusion gauges. That control board was running on Windows COM port 3. For some reason, that is what my GNS530 was trying to connect to also. I simply went and setup a new COM Port and mapped the Flight Illusion gauges to it (thank God that built that config into the G-Step UI), problem solved. Gauges now connect to the COM 7 I made up and the 530 connects on COM3 with no issues. How in the name of God I was able to figure that out, I have no idea. Six hours of guessing and trying things - hope I save somebody the same trouble down the road.
Hello
My GNS 530 from “realflightsim” persists in remaining in inverted screen despite all possible windows settings.
I can’t put my screen on straight and the device is unusable as it is.
What can I do? Does anyone have any ideas? Already encountered the problem?
I specify that it’s a GNS530 “gen3” firmware up to date 3.2.4
Thanks
When I select the “inverted landscape” mode in the windows display settings, it has no effect on the screen, which remains upside down.
I can’t put my screen on straight and the device is unusable as it is.
What can I do? A combination of keys? Is there a hard reset for this device?
I specify that it’s a GNS530 “gen3” firmware up to date 3.2.4
on Windows 11 and an AMD READON RX 6700 XT graphics card.
Thanks
Did you reach out to RSG? They are always very responsive and usually reply same day. I have a gen4 530 and 430 and never had a problem with inverted display (in 2020, I have not tried getting them working in 2024 yet).
