Hello jean luc... it's gilles from bordeaux.

i repeat my question here:

-P3D V4.1 on a fresh and new PC

-W10 install this month.

-gns530 v2.

all seem work fine in the gauge.

but no effect with PA in nav/appr mode and GPS green actif.

Is SIMCONNECT manual install is mandatory To GNS530 v2 work in P3D v4 (new PC) w10 and only one installation P3D?

regards

gilles

with an other PC friend i had the same issues, gns530 v1, w7, fs9.1, and it was sim1.dll that i have been during installation' Garmin error. i have changing by another one and it was good after that.

best regard and tanks for you return.

Gilles

 

Hello Gilles, You say it is working now after replacing the sim1.dll? If so can I get a copy?  Thanks

I am having the same problem as Gilles but running legacy FSX/Acceleration. I uninstalled the Sim and did a fresh install. Installed the RealityXp  GPS 530. It will not connect to the Autopilot. I did noticed while flying to an airport and executing an RNAV approach manually that the flight director is dead center all the way (Cross Hairs not showing left or right of course and glideslope info showing level) while the CDI is showing accurate information including Glideslope info. The GPS is not linking up to the flight director for some odd reason... Hence not hooking up to the Autopilot. John 

Hi All,

I have the same problem with the Autopilot not coupled with the 430. I use FSX (Gold incl. Acc and SP2). It is a clean install. Reality XP newest Version was installed just today. Clean Logs. HSI / VOR is reacting to GNS Flightplan or "Direct-To" but AP is doing nothing when enabled in NAV mode. Tries this with the Stock C172, Money and 3rd Party Cirrus.. The Cirrus shows on the PFD no distance, HDG or anything.I need the Garmin to practice for my IR Flight Training (Real World). It is fantastic, but the not working Autopilot drives me crazy. Please assist.

Behavior of the AP is: AP levels off when activated. HDG Mode works. When restoring old Panel and use FSX internal AP GPS following works. Also Tracking in VLOC/VOR Mode works. So it is some problem with Reality XP. I consider a reinstall of the whole installation.

 

So the question here is likely this?  Has anyone who has installed the most recent GNS updates had success with coupling the autopilot?  And if so, in which aircraft, specifically.   I am not able to pitch in here as I have not updated since 12/20/17.  Will not update at this point until this develops further. 

I am on my Caribbean Trek with a GNS equipped Carenado Grand Caravan and just must stay functional with so many new and unfamiliar airports in my itinerary.

Fails exactly the same way with the original database. I will try to reinstall. Maybe the problem is somewhere on my side. I works for others....

This is not a database issue... most likely a bug in the latest GNS version..

I am still using an older one..

You mean Reality XP Version or Trainer Version?

RXP version...

I just foolishly installed the latest RXP GNS2, just for FSX, as a test, and I now have the same autopilot problem, in both FSX and P3Dv4   :huh:

Bert

Hi Bert,

That is "fantastic". Now we can agree that 2.3.9.0 has a Bug. I hope this Info helps the Development. Its not a big Deal, Bugs are the everyday Business of Programming ;-)

Do you know where the affected Users can Download the last/a Version with a working Autopilot (in GPS mode)? Would it be enough just to overinstall?

 

Best,

Paul
