Unable to couple GPS to Autopilot

Featured Replies

Hey guys! 

Well I bought the RXP GTN 750 some days ago and already had some fun with it in some other planes.
But I really like the Carenado Phenom 100/300 but unfortunately the build-in GPS system is crap so i decided to try and implement the RXP....

After some time I got to this point---> *Click*

Everything is funktional execpt the buttons on the bezle and as described in the title the Autopilot still follows the standard GPS thingy.

So now to my question: As far as I can see, it seems that I have to change the GPS source or disable the standard one, but HOW do I do that?!

I already tried various setting in the RealityXP.GTN.ini file but it didnt work. I will post it below so you guys can have a view on  that too.

Hopefully someone can help me 😕

Because I really want a businessjet with a good GPS system...

 

Let me know if you need any information or files!!!

 

Thanks for ANY help!

And I totaly forgot the most important things!! Im using FSX !

Try right clicking on the memory card slot on the GTN.. it should switch the "active navigation" device.

Hey thank you for your answer! It seems like this is a F1 specific thing because there is no such clickspot in my GTN 😕

I tried it with the 2D Panel and in the Virtual Cockpit without the NO_BEZEL option.

Is there no way to change it by hand somehow?

Hi,

I think this is the most needed setting. This will make sure the FSX A/P system is using GPS signal when in GPS mode, and VLOC signal when in VLOC mode. Otherwise, you'd have to find a way to toggle NAV/GPS source on the panel independetly of the GTN CDI mode (GPS/VLOC).

I figured it out now and have everything working!

Now I can enjoy my Phenom with  a beautiful GPS.

Thanks alot guys.
