PC 12 what the TBM SHOULD be Steveo1 style

[mikebxb 20]

Just got the Carenado PC12.

 One flight so far.. The AP is intuitive.  and WORKS. I'm running the GTN 750 and Bert Pieke's AP popup mod. I expect many fun hours in this bird.

Hi Mike

I'm new to the PC 12 and have installed the Flight1 GTN750.

I cant get the autopilot to recognise an activated flight plan in the 750.

I enter the flight plan into the GTN 750, activate it i and after takeoff select Nav and AP mode in the Autopilot controller. The aircraft refuses to fly the planned course.

Am I missing a step?

Thanks in anticipation

On the bottom line of the GTN750 make sure "GPS" is shown.  If it shows "VLOC", click on "CDI" immediately above it which will then bring up "GPS".  This is what you should be in.  NAV and AP should them work.

Thanks Meeko

That was my problem.

Cant get the weather radar to switch on. Any advice on that one please?

Thanks in anticipation

Do you have any of Bert Pieke's mods for the PC-12 by any chance?

Bert turns the weather radar off with his mods.  If you want it "on"  go into your Carenado PC12, panel.V55 (Bert's panel whatever version you have) folder and open up the panel.cfg.  Find  [Vcockpit04] and delete the // from the lines starting with gauge00, gauge01, gauge02 and gauge03. 

You should then be able to turn the gauge on, on the panel.

Hi Andrew,

For another option - I use the REX Wx Radar which makes a nice addition to Bert's fine work...

Here's how to install it...

Hi Scott,

Thanks for your advise. 

‘I installed you changes into Bert’s Panel v57 last week, but every time I launched the pop-up (Shift +1) P3Dv4.3 CTD, so I uninstalled REX WX from my PC (I’ve recently started having real problems with BSOD and thought REX WX might be the culprit - turned out it’s not and the crashes stubbornly continue.)

I have today downloaded the latest REX WX update and will try your mod again, as I think the CTD problem I experienced was a known issue with earlier versions of the REX weather radar in P3Dv4.3

As for the BSOD problem........ I’m tearing my hair out trying to track that one down!
