Hi everyone

 

i recently bought p3d v2.5 and minstar gns 430/530

 

the problem is that the aircraft doesn't follow the route which I entered.

as well as i want to fly a direct to.

 

dtk value shows the heading to the waypoint. and trk value shows actually 000° and the aircraft fly hdg 000.

 

shouldn't the aircraft follow the desired track DTK??

 

what did i do wrong?

 

can u help me.

 

p3d v2.5 and A2A C182 as well as the Carenado King Air B200.

 

best regards

 

Rico

Do you know how to use a 430/530 or is this all new for you?

 

Your thread title is incorrect, the 430/530 do in fact work.

Yes i know how it works. Had used rxp for about 1 year.

 

And i would be happy if gns will work for me too.

Make sure you have GPS and not NAV selected?

I'm willing to bet you have VLOC as the active CDI and not GPS.

Hi.

 

I have of course selected GPS. I switch back to NAV and GPS sometimes. In the GNS is displayed GPS as well as in the NAV GPS Indicator in the aircraft.

Then you have something else interfering with the operation of the GNS unit.

 

Post your panel.cfg contents here.

Ok.

 

this is now the panel cfg. of the A2A C182.

Ok, looking at your panel.cfg shows nothing odd there.

 

At this point I'm going to have to suggest you ask A2A about it, because the actual autopilot is theirs and not ours. I am, of course, assuming you have their very latest version installed.

Okay. But the problem is still within the carenado b200. I will remove both aircraft and mindstar and reinstall again. Maybe tomorrow and i will tell what happens.

 

Thanks for your help so long.

I can not assist with Carenado. They don't like to work with third-party avionics. They have been asked many times to support the G1000, as example, and have repeatedly refused to do so.

But this wasn't told on the mindstar website. it was pronounced to operate with any aircraft.

at the moment i am still in touch with the support team. no succes at the moment. tried to use it in the standard Maule in p3d. no succes.

 

i'll keep you informed.

Just to be clear, at the risk of telling the OP what he already knows:

 

Several conditions need to exist before your autopilot will follow a gns route:

1. You need to have NAV selected on the AP

2. On the gns, you need to have GPS selected on the CDI button (not VLOC).

3. And you need to have a route loaded in the gns, or a direct-to, or something that the gps can point to.

 

If you try and manually fly the route, do you get the expected response on the NAV 1 cdi? That is, is this an ap issue or a gps/nav issue?

 

Thanks, Bruce.

Hi

 

 

 

Several conditions need to exist before your autopilot will follow a gns route:
1. You need to have NAV selected on the AP
2. On the gns, you need to have GPS selected on the CDI button (not VLOC).
3. And you need to have a route loaded in the gns, or a direct-to, or something that the gps can point to.
 

 

these conditions were all given

 

 

So, here are some updates.

 

i testet the gns now on an fsx installation. same issue.

 

then decided to make a clean and fresh windows and fsx environment. and what happend? it works.

Now i will create my flightsim system new. clean windows and a clean p3d. but now i got the problem that my activations are exeeded. Now i have to look what i can do. i asked the support if there is any problem of reinstalling. but he said there is no problem. but now i have no activations left.

 

so i am trying now to figure out if the gns will work within my new installation of p3d.

 

so long

Rico

Tell support you have run out of activations... they'll correct it.
