Forgive me if this issue has already been addressed, I am new to these forums and also new to this aircraft.  I've only been flying the Malibu for a couple of weeks and it is a superb aircraft.  The main reason I was interested in it is for the avionics, namely the G500, which is really unique.  I seem to be having a problem with it however.  During the first 5 or 10 minutes of flying the aircraft, if I have anything loaded in the G530 (non reality xp version) and the MFD on map 1 page, the moving map will freeze until I switch pages, or views, or change the range or something.  This seems to happen both in the VC and 2D version of the panel.  I can't pinpoint any one thing that causes it to freeze, it seems to be random several times within the first 10 minutes.  After that, it doesn't seem to have any issues.

 

I have downloaded the updated version that was in the file library, and it still is having these issues.  I've also reinstalled the aircraft a couple of different times with no affect.  If anyone has any suggestions or probable causes/fixes, it would be greatly appreciated!  This really is a great aircraft, its just frustrating when the MFD freezes on final approach!

I have never experienced this, but I do have a modified G500 which you can try - no idea if it will behave differently, but it is more usable in that the knobs are operated by the mouse wheel (only)..

 

Send me a PM with your email address if you would like to try it!

Thanks for the reply Bert, PM sent!  I hope I'm not the only one with this problem, but it gives me hope that you have not experienced it at all.  If I understand from your previous posts you are also using Reality XP, I don't know if that makes a difference but maybe I should invest in that as well.  Here is a screen shot of the frozen MFD so you can see what it looks like:

 

 

As you can see the MFD froze before reaching the waypoint, even though the 530 keeps on tracking just fine.  It will stay in this condition until I press a button or change views.  The PFD still works fine.  This is running the update available in the file library for traffic and brightness.  It also freezes with just the standard gauge when I do a fresh install of the aircraft.  If I can pinpoint anything else that causes it I will post it here.

.... my Garmin is is not responding to any of the mouse clicks, the PFD is initializing and gain some functionality via my VRinsigt M-Panel, or GoFlight bottons,  the MFD is prompt me to hit "Entet" but refuse to respond .... real mess     :blush:

 

Any idea ??

 

Thanks in advance

 

BTW

 

just out of curiosity

 

I do have the Malibu Prop 350, the G500 of the Turbo is a popup ... can I use it on the 350 as well ????
