I am making my first flight with the A36 and flying with the updated version.Ok.. I set AP and yaw damper.. and hit these functions:1. HDG I set an angle in the aspen avionics in magenta "hdg" and it doesn't go to that Heading. Just go always to some angles to the right of the desired one. For example.. I set 85º and the plane goes 129º2. I set Nav mode.. with GPS.. or VLOC mode nav data.. and when pressing it.. it says "arm" and start to make a 360º none stop turn to the right. I have the deviation curse very close.. so I don't know why it says "arm" What I am doing wrong?????

OK, lets be specific..With the AP engaged (initially in ROL mode), if you engage HDG on the autopilot, it should turn to the heading set in the Aspen PFD.If you then change the heading on the PFD, the autopilot should follow.In NAV mode, it will say ARM until it settles in on the course which may take a while..

Following Bert's descriptions.Here's the HDG mode.And here's the NAV mode. Do those modes look like this at your end, Japo?

Hi!! good to hear replies soon!I have tested again the plane twice... this time it followed the HDG mode and the NAV mode.. even the approach mode. So the only difference with the flight I made is that in one of them I used Airhauler and in the other not. But the plane was 100% ok.. so don't know..I was thinking I missed pressing a switch or something in startup.. BUT what I have seen is this:I have Reality XP installed.. so 1 GPS with RXP and other default. If in the RXP I go to waypoint for example, LEIB, in the aspen it says me LEMT (where is the waypoint it choose the default GPS.. so I have to set the waypoint of LEIB in the default to have it in the aspen.How the RXP gps can rule the navigation? Who are the nav frequencies selection from?

If you have it set up so that the RXP unit is the COM1/NAV1 radio and the default,below it, is the COM2/NAV2 radio, the RXP unit will drive the autopilot in NAVmode with GPS selected on the RXP unit OBS selector.I do not look at the map in the Aspen, just turn down the map detail for better performance,and use the moving map on the RXP GNS for navigation.Also, depending on the currency of the navigation databases, waypoints occasionally getrenamed, so matching them exactly may be impossible.

I could be wrong but I think the map feature of the gauges is bound to the default GPS data only. So you see airports, navaids and stuff like the default GPS sees them, same goes for the flight plan display. This only works when the plan is 'inside FSX', so again default GPS only.The RXP flight plan does not get drawn, you can only use the GPS course pointer to follow it on the EFD. A small downside, but perfectly ok in my eyes (using the pointer and/or the CDI itself).So far, this isn't a special Carenado issue, but the Orbx Lancair (which displays map details and the flight plan if needed) also shows this dependency. So the RXP can drive the AP on those planes and of course shows all details on its own displays, but you can't get it to interact with the ND/PFD 3rd party (non-RXP) gauges of any kind so far.I may add the Flight1 PC-12 to that list. Map-capable displays and stuff, but you can't connect that to the RXP data, only default GPS data works.I think one could program a gauge injecting the current flight plan into FSX every time it is changed, so that you would get a map flight plan display regardless of the initial gauge altering the plan. Aivlasoft EFB injects it's data 'live' into FSX and it works fine, so it shows up instantly, without loading something from the flight planner.Well, another one would be to enter the data into the RXP unit and then also load a FSX plan with the same route, so you would get the EFD to show that loaded one as it now has some default GPS data.If you don't change it, you should be fine with the display.As Bert says, the names may sometimes differ, but since the flight plan is basically coordinate-based, the sheer route should match. I've never tried that one though.

Thanks.. but not working.1. cannot make the below default gps as com2/Nav2 Don't know how2. the only CDI that works is the XP one (up) but that is no problem because I preffer to use the XP gps.3. as said.. the waypoint that rules teh aspen avionics and autopilot is the default below gps. Nothing introduced in the XP changes the aspen.. Aspen says GPS1 (and the waypoint of the default gps unit)what I want:select in the aspen the GPS1 XP waypoint. not the default. or if I can choose both GPS1 or GPS2 then great.Thanks!

I don't run the single RXP setup, but I'd say that you have to make sure that your single RXP 430 unit is bound to the Nav1/Com1 radios.Do this with the RXP config tool or check the following line in the RXPGNX.ini.[GNS430]Radios=1That '1' is the important value there, so the line should already be present but may currently have a another number.The lower GPS (Carenado) unit should already be set to Nav2/Com2 I think. At least I wouldn't know how to change that assignment without altering the gauge code.The CDI selector on the RXP unit has to show a green GPS to make it work on the Aspen. So no white VLOC.

it was already in Radios=1.. but I see that it says AutopilotMode=2.. does it has something to do with this that autopilotMode?

No, that just defines how the RXP interacts with the AP.See the config tool for details on all the settings, it explains them in the lower window. That's easier to follow than the text based config work.May you can run that tool on the Carenado and check the settings again.

nothing.. I changed it even radios also tried to 2.. but nothing...Thing is when I press the medium button in the aspen just when the CDI it says Vloc, then selecting GPS1 it shows the waypoint of the default gps (second one)the first time I press the CDI (selecting gps mode), when still there is no waypoint in the GPS of XP (but always there is a waypoint in default).. then appears a yellow Gps1 label in the middle of the aspen rose compass. Select in the XP GPS the new waypoing.. and activate.. but it shows me then, the waypoint of the default gps.This is mad... because I bought the XP Gps.. and cannot control autopilot with it in this plane. If there were a way to "delete" the second unit. I don't want it!!

Have a look a this screenshot... this is sitting at KSFO.The bottom GPS has the NAV radio tuned to the OAK VORand it shows up correctly on the Aspen unit as VOR2.

... and same location, RXP GPS set to: Direct To Half Moon Bay.Desired track 211 degrees, and the Aspen shows the correct course.The autopilot will follow this course in NAV mode.So this works, exactly the way you want it - I think..

Ok.. I attach an image...as you can see the up gps (xp) is pointing to LEBL and the below one (default) is pointing to LEMT. That LEMT is always loaded. As you can see in the aspen map the magenta line is an old flight plan (maybe is loading one I made long ago.. and I don't know how to not make the gps load that flight plan. Not load any flight plan)BUT if you see the GPS1 green label it says it is pointing to LEMT.. BUT it is pointing 51º/229nm that is the distance to LEBL. So here there is a bug or something.. because it is pointing correctly to LEBL BUT it is labeled LEMT, which is the flight plan of the below one.The below one it says also 229nm to LEMT but is wrong. The distance to LEMT is totally different (something like 126nm).. and track should be 310º or so....I have no problems at all with VORs.But .. how:1. do I delete the loading of that flight plan to the default GPS?2. How do I correct the label so it shows me the correct waypoint I am going?

Here a slightly better set of pictures, with the GPS set to VLOC for the NAV radiosand set to GPS for the GPS course - the way you would use it in real life.Let me know if this works differently on your setup!
