NAV-Source-change PFD (CDI-Button) with keyboard

[hewald 2]

Hi together,

i try to figure out if it is possible to change the NAV-Source (CDI-button = GPS, VOR 1, VOR2) on G1000-PFD with FSUIPC.
I checked a lot of FSUIPC-commands but couldn`t find a solution.

Thanks for the answer.

The command you are looking for in FSUIPC is TOGGLE GPS DRIVES NAV1. This will choose either GPS or Nav 1 as the navigation source, however it will not properly switch the G1000 CDI display, as it relies on a local variables which FSUIPC will not be able to access directly.

To control the G1000 display you have to use a LUA script for FSUIPC. You will need to change the values of the Local variable (L:G1000_CDISource, enum) with values 0 [GPS], 1 [NAV1], and 2 [NAV2]. Then if NAV1 or NAV2 is selected, you need to assign a value to the (L:G1000_SelectNav) variable which controls the Nav1 [0] or Nav2 [1] rose display. Lastly, for each CDI_source value you have to test the state of the (A:GPS DRIVES NAV1, bool) and toggle on (for GPS)  or off (for NAV1-2) as required.

Search the different forums for FSUIPC LUA Scripts G1000. Someone has probably done this before, and might have shared the script online.

Good luck,

Jorge
