GARMIN GNS 530/430 Mod v1.0.6 by pimarc

This package corrects some bugs of the built-in GNS530/430 GPS.

Change log

V 1.0.6

• First declutter level hides roads and airspaces
• DME distance correctly rounded
• LOC Radial not any more displayed as in the original GNS530. LOC name displayed instead (ex ILS RW 31).
• Adding compass in track up map mode
• Default NAV page is in track up mode by default
• Adding range levels to 2000nm
• Prevent changing the TRK field (like original GNS530) in default NAV
• Better management of the CLR button in NAV pages
• Map page completely rebuilt
• Frequency NAV page works now nearly like original GNS530
• Flight plan has now 7 lines instead of 4 (5 vs 4 in GNS430)
• Depart and destination now displayed in flight plan
• Flight plan columns conform to the original GNS530 (added DTK and changed order)

V 1.0.5

• Fixing the conflict when using 2 or more GPS in an aircraft

V 1.0.3

• The DirectTo behavior is now nearly similar to that of the native GNS530
• Adding toggle of map orientation in map menu (North up or Track up)
• Better management of the CLR button when inserting a waypoint
• Prevent add/removing of waypoints in approach sequence (for now)
• Bug correction: crash in load approach page when loading and there is no approach available
• Adding confirmation window when removing approach, SID, STAR or waypoint
• Removing approach, SID and STAR works by selecting the corresponding line on flight plan
• Less dependency from other Mods

V 1.0.2

• LOC/VOR correctly displayed in the VOR field following the captured frequency
• Setting 4 levels of declutter as the original GNS530
• Adding the range and declutter level in the NAV map (left bottom corner)

First release features:

• Better logic for approach loading and activation
• Correcting the crazy U-turn bug
• Activate leg now works on approach waypoints
• Better DirectTo management and possibility to Direct to an approach icao waypoint
• Bug correction when direct to an airport: it was then impossible to select an approach

• Airport list: Correcting flicking bug and enhancing the view
• Adding a declutter level

Yes, it works with it. Just like the G1000 mod works in all planes using the MSFS G1000, this works with any aircraft using the MSFS GNS530 (the Mooney uses the stock MSFS GNS530).

Any one else confirm?  Was just ready to put v6 in play.

Let me confirm.

It works. I had to restart the sim for some reason.

I finally decided that to avoid long loading times, I removed non essential sceneries.

Is it OK to download? I didn't see any links to previous version.

YES!

I just checked.  V6 seems fine.  Dialed in a couple of what if [D→] navaids and all were there, as well as the approaches to KPIE.  Flying down the Indycar race in St Petersburg today.

Great work!

A request for V1.0.7.

Just like it was fixed in the G1000, kindly fix the DIS readout, so that it shows the decimal at all times..

ie   14.1-14.0-13.9 and  NOT  14.1-14-13.9

Thanks! 🙂

Please add one more.... the active leg is no longer indicated on the FPL page (at least when an RNAV approach is active)..
