PMS50 2.1.29 is broken for me.  Would not capture the localizer.  Going back to version 2.1.28.

 

PMS50 did just release a WTT test patch for the 414.....Maybe that would help?

Welp. Looks like I am getting that "offline activation" issue. First time ever. I sent the emails, sent the hardware ID, serial etc. Uninstalled the chancellor, uninstalled bitdefender, restarted a bunch of times.....still unable to activate. Oi. Have to wait for email support.

This is what I get for leaving flight simulators to play elite dangerous for 3 days. Haha

I'd sure like to find out the difference between your setup and mine...

I currently have:

1. PMS50 GTN 750 version 2.1.29

2. I have the WT G1000 NXI installed and updated (version 0.11.0)

3. I use the zWTnxi-0.11.0-sync-fix from PMS50 and is activated via the MSFS Addons Linker.

I cannot think of anything else to include...

Would you be able to provide your details?

I'm a bit behind with the PMS50 GTN750 updates, still using 2.1.27.
WT G1000 NXI not installed
Not using the zWTnxi-0.11.0-sync-fix

I'll try 2.1.28.

I don't have 2.1.28 to go back too...

I had the 2.1.26 (which did not work) and jumped to 2.1.29 (which did not work).

Are you running the  WT G1000 NXI & sync file?

Hmmm, just realised I can't try 2.1.28 if they're on 2.1.29 now.

I have the WT G1000 NXI but I'm not using it (not selected in MSFS Addons Linker).  I don't have the sync file.

If you have the 2.1.28 or 2.1.27 zip file in your recycle bin, you should be able to go back to it.

In my case, I did not download either .27 or .28.

[Sender46 21]

I do keep the downloads but I missed 2.1.28.

Anyway, thanks to you and jfwharton for flagging up to avoid 2.1.29.

Has this thread changed from a 414 issues thread to a PMS issues thread? If it has, I'll stop looking at it. 🙂

Someone mentioned they could not get the 414 to fly a localizer using the PMS50 version.  Some of us tried to reproduce the issue.  I discovered that the issue exists with the latest version of the PMS50 software but not with the previous version and was letting them know as this affects people using the 414 beta with the PMS50 GTN.

Fuel computer fuel amount cannot be reset in the manner described in the manual. The procedure described is to calculate a value by taking "1001" - "displayed remaining fuel" and add that value for the "add Gal" amount. I just get 1001 displayed in the computer rather than a reset to 0. Otherwise the computer is working fine for me. Haven't tried starting on the runway or anything described by others to break it. I always just start cold and dark.

1.6.2 beta when starting a flight in parking and starting up the aircraft the fuel computer works correctly for both the GNS and PMS50 versions.  However, if you start a flight on a runway the engines are already running and the fuel computer shows 00.0 gal/rem.  If you then click on the lower left button on the fuel computer that readout changes to 0-.0 gal/rem.  So the fuel computer doesn't appear to be working when a flight is started on a runway.

I tried checking this out again this morning.  Started a flight KBIL to KBZM with the simulator placing the aircraft on the runway at KBIL with engines running.  The fuel computer shows 00.0.  Pressing the lower left button changes the display to what was stated above 0-.0.  I then reset the flight.  This time with the fuel computer showing 00.0 I pressed the function button.  The display changed to 206 gal rem.  But I had set the fuel at 80 percent when I was selecting the aircraft, livery and fuel for the flight.  Checking the fuel pulldown menu it shows 80.1 gal per side or 160.2 gal total, yet the fuel computer shows 206 gal rem.

I started a new flight with the same model aircraft (GNS 530), set fuel again to 80% or 160.2 gallons.  This time after loading the flight plan using the simulator I selected a parking spot and selected fly.  I turned the fuel tanks to left and right main and turned on the battery and alternators.  I pressed the function button on the fuel computer and it showed 206 gal rem.  Am I doing something wrong?  Why is it showing about 45-46 gallons more than I have loaded?

PMS put out version 2.1.30 which fixed the issue.

Hello All, it's my first post...this is a beautiful aircraft and I enjoy beta testing (some background...I was in IT for 16 years and built/supported apps and app testing in a large corp. environment. I also worked for 15 years in .CA for a major U.S. carrier as "remote ops, fuelling, ramp, team lead .etc" and I've been flightsimming since the early 90's)...Well done guys.

To the point: I'm still having issues with loosing power during climb out. I'm using the latest beta release and have had the issue over the last few releases and I'm wondering what the settings should be in msfs. I've tried legacy/modern models, auto/manual mixture, all 3 oem aircraft versions, and more to no-avail.

Any hints or pointers to other threads would be much appreciated.

Thanks...
