OMG. It’s that simple!! My home made GNS530 is fully operational! Thanks!

Thanks for sharing that. I’ve done some regexing and put together a profile xml list for all the mobiflight events as client events in spadnext. Just paste them in the customClientEvents section of your profile xml file:
Mmobiflight works perfekt. I created serveral profils, which buold on each other. This is my mainscreen for the NXi PFD
All 12 softkeys are mapped as a key command and, if needed, as profile changer. Example MAP/HSI moves into a new profile " Map_HSI" which as new icon for the 12 sofkeys
and so on…
Is this for a streamdeck? I need to get myself one of those.
Yes, that are Screenshots from my XL Streamdeck
But why do this?
All of the H:Events are native in SPAD neXt already … You don’t need to send out to the Mobiflight connector since the spad bridge does all of this already…
I am asking a real question as I always like to understand different approaches.
They aren’t though… that’s the thing. There are built-in events for controlling the avionics, but unfortunately none of them seem to work. Mobiflight’s addon module adds new events, which do work.
They all work … did you install the H:event and LVar Bridge?
Cause I control all of the H Events for the G1000 / G3000 Just fine.
Also need to use the Hevents for all of the working title CJ4 controls including the FMC which I have mapped on a stream deck…
I see posts in here about others having managed to get their GNS530 hardware to work with the sim so I am hoping someone can help:
I recently bought the RealSimGear GNS530 and it all works great. All, that is, except the “press and hold CLR button” that brings one back to the default NAV display. RSG says right on their tech support website that none of the buttons on the GNS530 support long presses so the problem seems to be on their end. I have Spad.next though, and Spad.next supports RSG’s GNS530 hardware so I thought maybe I could work around this deficiency of the RSG interface software.
Poking around in Spad.next, I see a whole raft of GPS related simconnect events that I could use to make the various buttons do what they are supposed to do, but I don’t see anything that looks like it’ll work for resetting the GNS530 display to the default NAV page? Anyone have any ideas? I don’t want to go down the rabbit hole of configuring Spad.next for the GNS530 if I can’t solve the “press and hold CLR button” problem, so I’d like to tackle that issue first.
Has anyone else been able to figure out how to trigger the Asobo GNS530 in the game to revert to the default NAV page using a simconnect event (or otherwise)?
Thanks in advance!
Hi! We have a workaround that can be done with RPN code - I understand the real sim gear has a config file where you can assign the event code that shall be executed.
Take a look at our MobiFlight Wiki: MSFS2020 Short, Long and Double Press Button Configuration · MobiFlight/MobiFlight-Connector Wiki · GitHub

Thanks, it looks like there are some options in that link for how to code a short or long press, and that may come in handy once I figure out what will actually trigger the MSFS GNS 530 to revert to the default NAV display.
Does anyone have an idea what simconnect (or other) event will trigger MSFS to switch the GNS530 back to the default NAV display, as though the game UI’s “CLR” button was pressed and held with the mouse?
Edit: I should add that I tried triggering the GPS_CLEAR_BUTTON_DOWN and GPS_CLEAR_BUTTON_UP events when the button is pressed and released, but it didn’t work. I see the events go out in the Spad.next event monitor but nothing happens in the sim. Maybe there’s a parameter that needs to be set for these events? (I tried setting 0 and/or 1 to no effect.) Or maybe it’s a quirk of the Aerosoft Twin Otter that I am testing in? (There are lots of other simconnect events that don’t work in that aircraft model, maybe these are more on an already long list?)
