Hello all,

Just recently added the 650 to my GTN750 in the A2A 182. I must be missing some simple step here as I can not get it to work the Com2 and Nav2. Searched the forums for a couple of days however no luck so far. If its been covered somewhere point me to it please. As you can see on the picture below I have both of the Nav radios tuned to the same VOR. There is no indication on Nav2 while the Nav2 indicates on the HSI.

rxp_gtn_indication.jpg

Similarly there is no radio call on Com2 to be heard  when tuned to the particular frequency. 

Below are my settings for both the 750 and 650 side by side. 

rxp_gtn_settings.jpg

Here is my INI file if you would like to check it. Sorry dont know how to attach the file here so it is just a simple copy paste.

Any help to get it working would be greatly appreciated. Im out of ideas. And yes I read the manual, however some stuff here might be out of my abilities.

Thanks a lot and have a great Christmas time,

Hi,

Are you sure it is a GTN_650_2 gauge in the panel.cfg file? There could have been a bug in the assistant putting a _1 instead of a _2 gauge but I doubt it, so better manually checking the panel.cfg file.

Besides, I thank you for the logs. I'm wondering why you're getting these 'fail bits' entries (there are designed for helping us troubleshooting our customers installations).

  1. Can you please let me know which Garmin trainer you are running with?
  2. Also can you please cross check these two file versions are the same:

    "C:\ProgramData\Reality XP\rxpGtnSim32.dll"
    "C:\ProgramData\Reality XP\rxpGtnSim64.dll"

Thanks for looking into this Jean-Luc,

The panel config looks to be about right, I can not see anything out of order. Just in case Im pasting the content of the file below.

The Garmin trainer in use is the 6.41.00. Dont think it has anything to do with my issue.

And both of the DLLs are of version 2.5.10.0

Thanks,

Alex

Thank you Alex.

The panel.cfg seems correct indeed. The trainer version explains why do you get the 'failed bits' message in the log. These 'bits' are expected with this version but the log message isn't. NB: this won't affect the product at all, it is just noise in the log file.

Something important to check then for radios 2, is whether the aircraft.cfg tells FltSim there are actually 2 radios.

This is documented in the SDK:
http://www.prepar3d.com/SDKv4/sdk/simulation_objects/aircraft_configuration_files.html#radios

com.2

Two flags, set the first one to 1 if a Com2 radio is available, and the second if it supports a standby frequency. You cannot have Com2 without Com1.

Example Mooney Bravo: Com.2 = 1, 1

Hello Jean-Luc,

The "Radios" section in the aircraft config looks about right as well. Im pasting only this section here. 

[Radios]
// Radio Type = availiable, standby frequency, has glide slope
Audio.1       = 1
Com.1         = 1, 1
Com.2         = 1, 1
Nav.1         = 1, 1, 1
Nav.2         = 1, 1, 0
Adf.1         = 1, 1
Transponder.1 = 1
Marker.1      = 1
What Im going to try is to remove the 650 from the panel and replace it with the default radio on Com2/Nav2 to see if it is working at all. Was working fine before. Will report back, though it might take some days.

Thank you for your support so far. Really appreciate it.

Regards,

Alex

Hello Jean-Luc,

As promised here is an update and I have to report that it looks like I solved the issue. Here is what I did.

Before completely removing the 650 an idea struck me to check the status of the default radio stack in the A2A Skylane. So I turned on the battery and the avionics and used the A2A control panel - Ctrl+3 - to switch from the 750/650 combo to the default radio stack. Here I noticed that the Com2/Nav2 radio was off. Turned it on and switched back to GTN and now I have the 650 working as it should for Com2/Nav2. Did three flights and all is well so far. Not sure if there is something broken in my install or for whatever reason the second radio did not get turned on, but this workaround solved the issue.

Thank you for your support. Wish you a healthy and prosperous year. All the best in 2019.

Cheers,

Alex

Hi Alex and thank you for the update on this!

This most likely sound the A2A aircraft is probably 'over controlling' the state of the radios in order to achieve 'fidelity', at the expense of third party gauges relying on just default FltSim variables. This is unavoidable sometimes but I'm glad you've found a trick which will also certainly help others.

You might want to relay this to A2A devs though in case they spot either a bug, or they implement a workaround when using the GTN in their aircraft.

All my best wishes to you to for 2019!
