.. and you have not got the latest PMS50 GTN750 with the WTT mod for your airplane, you are missing out on something.

PMS50 is busily at work on perfecting the (free!) GTN 750 gauge and it now integrates nicely into the three airplanes mentioned above.

Here is me flying an LPV approach into KTPA in my C337..

 

What is the WTT mod and where does one find it?

It works very well - the PMS display (especially charts) are clearer and sharper than the new TDS integrated unit.

If I read correctly, you have to use Developer mode, is that true?

KTPA. What an amazing looking airport. 😀

I flew into that airport in the early 80's in a C 152. Beautiful approach as you go over the bay and over the Airbase.

I'm a huge fan of KSPG. I take all my students there as well as to KCDK and they get hooked.

On my first solo corss country my first leg was KHWO to KVNC ( Venice on Florida West Coast.  I landed on rwy 05 and the approach was over the Gulf. I still remember that approach. That and flying into Key West were two of my favorites.

On the PMS50 web site, one mod for each Carenado airplane..

It upgrades the GTN 750 to using WT flight planning logic, like the G1000NXi.

Nope..

This package allows running the Carenado Skymaster aircraft with the GTN750 in WTT mode.

WTT mode stands for Working Title Technology. This is a software layer that completely replaces
the stock sim autopilot and GPS management. it provides many features not available with the
stock modules. The Working Title Technology is the same as the one used in the WT G1000 Nxi Mod.

Installing this package forces the use of the GTN750 in the aircraft. If your aircraft allows
switching to other GPSs, they will not be functional.
If you don't want to fly with the GTN750, remove this Mod from your community folder.

The autopilot behavior of the aircraft may be a little bit modified by this mod.

**** How to engage the NAV mode:

HDG Mode:
Set your OBS course to intercept the target leg and press the HDG button and then the
NAV button. When reaching the leg, the autopilot will leave automatically the HDG armed mode
to keep only the NAV mode.

ROLL Mode:
Turn your aircraft by the way of the TURN button of the AUTOPILOT/FLIGHT DIRECTOR panel to
intercept the target leg. When you are in the correct direction, engage the NAV mode.
When reaching the leg, the autopilot will run in NAV mode.

**** Vertical navigation with the autopilot:

To change you flight level, reset the ALT button if you are in ALT mode and use the PITCH wheel
of the AUTOPILOT/FLIGHT DIRECTOR. When you are at the desired flight level, engage the ALT mode.
 

I agree, Bert, that this is a fine product, but I wasn't able to get vertical guidance on an RNAV approach in the Carenado Ovation. I think I'm using the most recent version of the premium 750 and have installed the WTT[ package. I thought that some work needed to be done by Carenado in order to bring the glide path indication alive on the HSI. Is this wrong?

The latest PMS50 GTN provides an (optional) glideslope indicator on the right side of the map screen.  As you can see in my screenshot.  I have been lobbying Carenado to make the HSI GSI operational in RNAV mode... over time this should all work.

@Bert Pieke thanks so much. Does the AP track the glide path in an LPV approach as it does a glide slope in an ILS? Having that indication so far outside my usual instrument scan would be really challenging…..

Yes.
