OBS mode with Alabeo PA44 G600 and GNS 530 not working?

Featured Replies

Hi, i have recently started messing around with the realityxp gns530v2 on the Alabeo PA44. However, since the plane comes with a G600 PFD, i have had an issue regarding the obs function from the gns530. For example, after I have keyed in my flight plan and started flying using the GPS, when i toggled the OBS button via the GNS530, I am unable to freely move the GPS CRS. It does not allow me to freely choose a desired course when i tried turning the knobs. This is not the case when i fly the same PA44 in real world, it actually suspends the upcoming waypoints allowing me to freely choose my own desired track. I tried using the panel configuration to ensure that I have enabled whatever that needs to be enabled. Is there something that i am doing wrong? Tried looking around in the forum and havent been able to find the answer i need.

What settings do you have in the Configuration Panel?  See Page 5 in the User Manual (Windows Start menu, R, Reality XP)

for the panel instruments i have everybox checked just like the screenshot you gave. only the " Connect GPS to VOR " isnt checked. still cant turn the GPS CRS. 

I believe you are indicating this is an issue with one aircraft model.  Is that correct?  Try scrolling down further in the Configuration Panel and find Advanced Settings.  Under that tree select Use Simulator GPS Commands.  See if that works.
