Hello

I am very new to x-plane11, flight simulation and RXP. I have x-plane (11.41) and RXP (latest version) for GNS530 installed and I noticed that the GNS530 does not display any DME information in the default C172 while the default x-plane GNS530 does show the DME distance. I have tried with both old Garmin database that comes with the RXP 530 and also with updated databases, no difference in DME at all. I have tried multiple VORs, same thing. X-plane does show the distance to VOR in the map view when I click on the VOR details. The VORs in question appear on the sectionals as DME capable. In the images below I am using the example of VOR with ID PAE next to the KAWO (Arlington Municipal Airport)

I am not sure if I am missing something but shouldn't the DME appear in the RXP530 ?

 

Please help.

 

Thank you so much.

You have to select the VOR/LOC data on one of the AUX pages... Data Field configuration I believe.

Use the outer knob to get to the location, and use the inner knob to choose options.  Then ENTER.

And it will show correctly.

DIS is not the DME but the GPS Distance.. tricky..  The actual Garmin GNS530 manual explains it..

it worked !!

Thanks so much Bert!

I hate to say it, but in my C172 in FS2020 I only see one AUX page and that is for COM SETUP. I see nothing for NAV DISPLAY.

You shouldn't disclose Reality XP beta information publicly 🤪

Kidding apart, the GNS you're using in FS2020 is certainly not a Reality XP product...
