Does the Garmin 530 gps actually work anywhere near like it should?

It does if you use the pimarc mod.   It's high quality, Working Title seal of approval.  Unofficially. 😄

Greetings,

Thanks for the reply.

Do you know what "driver reviver" is? This is something they want to install on your computer before giving access to the gps mod. Many thanks.

Not sure what you're talking about there, unfortunately.   That link is to flightsim.to where you can download it directly and install it like any other mod in the community folder.   Sounds like you might have some adware messing with your browser, perhaps?

Get the GNS530 mod straight from the source: https://github.com/pimarc/pms50-gns530

Bloatware, avoid it.

Has anyone else run into a problem where you can't recharge the battery or refill the oil from the EFB? The two buttons to do so are greyed out and don't have any effect. I have the maintenance checkbox ticked but I can also see these two running down. The low voltage warning lamp is on no matter what I do with the alternator or the fuse panel, or throttle settings.

edit to add - the GPS (530, no mod, just the stock/JF unit) has died as well and no amount of fiddling with the volume knob will bring it back.

I tried that and was unable to replicate it. Took everything out of community folder, too.  If you have the maintenance checked then it is supposed to allow you refill recharge etc. I was able to on my end. 

I did have issues with the EFB buttons when the camera was too far away. Silly as it seems. It worked itself out after the latest update.

The gns530 bug seems to be for all planes since the last patch.  The cessna does the same thing.  Randomly you just get no GPS and the only way around it is a reboot.  It has made flying really hard to spend all that time loading up the sim only to realize that you won't have a GPS and have to start over.   It doesn't matter if you use the 530 mod or stock.  If you boot up and it works, great.  If you don't see it though, I don't know any way to make it turn on.  I end up having to swap to that little custom GPS thing they have. 

It is super annoying and I hope it is on MS's list of things to fix.

What I have noticed from Day one over a month ago ( for me) is that sometimes when i load a Flight Plan that was in MSFS 2020 ( created in Simbrief), and I look in the 530,  first waypoint is there, but the plan waypoints places are all blank. Then I just restart the flight using the restart button, and when it comes up, now the plan is in the GPS, with all the waypoints. So now I just hit that FP button first, before I set everything up, and if the plan waypoints are blank, I just restart the flight. This isn't just the Arrow, this happens in the Mooney too with the 530. And i have seen this with or without the 530 Mod.

Another very strange issue happening in the background. I fly with OnAir, and every flight, even if my Beacon Lights assignments are empty, so no keypresses there...I get Beacon On-Beacon Off message in the log every 15seconds.

Need to add this to the hangar.
