February 20, 20215 yr I am using GNS430 v1 (legacy for FSX) in A2A C172, and I am trying to turn down/off the ident morse signal that comes up when Nav1 (vor1) is tuned in. I have two sources of the same signal: one coming from the sound panel (controlling com1, com2, nav1, nav2, etc) and one from the GNS430 alone (since it is setup to work as Nav1). now, I can turn off the one from radios by clicking on Nav1 on stack, but cannot turn off the one coming from GNS. in the manual of the real Garmin GNS430 it says that this can be done using the small knob on the left, right under the one used to power it on. But in the RealityXP model for some reason this little knob is used to control dim of the screen. Is there a way to return this knob to its original settings and control the ident volume? is there another way to do that? many thanks Edited February 20, 20215 yr by Kermit_70
February 20, 20215 yr Hi, The GNS Legacy is not offering any volume control. The sound must be coming from the audio panel or another aircraft gauge anyhow because there is no "dedicated" NAV channel for the GNS, only the stock NAV1 and NAV2 in flight simulator. The GNS V2 is offering full COM and NAV volume control though, among many other new things!
February 22, 20215 yr Author OK, solved. I figured it out that the second audio signal I was hearing was coming from DME. Once I switch that off in the audio panel (and also the Nav1, of course) everything was quite again, even if VOR1 was correctly connected to station (falf was off and needle moved). I didn't know that the DME had its own audio channel. As a side note (but probably not belonging to this Forum), I noticed that on the audio panel (top position) in my A2A C172 the DME switch does not light up when on (althought it works fine, as described). Regarding GNS V2: I thought this was only for P3D, but maybe I was wrong. Does it run on FSX as well? Is there a discount to upgrade from Legacy to v2 in FSX?
February 22, 20215 yr The GNS V2 runs with all simulators (nearly) from FS9 to P3D5. For FSX it is compatible with FSX SP2/ACC. You might want to review our home page where you'll find pricing information and can read the manuals prior purchasing (links to manuals at the bottom of the page): www.reality-xp.com/index2.html In doubt, you can always ask for other customer advises in the GNS V2 for FltSim forum: https://www.avsim.com/forums/forum/816-rxp-gns-530w430w-v2/
