Bert's mods fixed this, so for future reports of the same issue it will be fixed after installing them! Thank you Bert!

Hello, I just installed the Carenado PC12 and the RealityXP GNS530WAAS. I love the two paired together, but when I create a flight plan in the GNS and set CDI to GPS, the OBS automatically rotates to the appropriate course, the autopilot navigates on NAV mode perfectly, but I get no CDI deflection if I hand fly and stray off the center of the course. This is not much of a big deal while enroute, but when trying to fly an LPV approach, I do get the glideslope indication but the CDI still does not deflect left or right as it would in real life. This makes flying the LPV approach by hand very difficult by having to look over to the GNS CDI indication instead of my HSI. Also, when using the autopilot it appears the APP mode will only track the lateral course and not the vertical slope of the approach. I have installed Bert's and Autogyro's mods, and have been searching tirelessly for similar problems but have no answers. I tried messaging Bert but he is unavailable right now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvFnsjlTk14 At 9:30 on this video the GPS is switched on into the test mode and you see a CDI deflection half left, mine does not do this. At least this indicates it is a problem that could be fixed. Here is what happens when I am at that point: Thanks for the help, Zach

Thank you Bert. If I find an answer by then I'll let you know. I'm particularly frustrated with LPV approaches using the reality xp guage. I get the glideslope but the CDI on the HSI shows no deflection when drifting off course. The APP mode on the autopilot does not appear to want to follow the glideslope either. Again, thank you for being a huge resource and saviour for the community! Zach

Hi Bert! I have been searching the forums and I just cant seem to find the link to your PC12 mods and Autopilot mod. I was wondering if you could send them to me? I was also wondering if you know why the RealityXP 530 CDI doesn't ever show deflection, especially when doing an RNAV approach? Does the Autopilot APP mode on your mod follow the VNAV path from the Reality XP 530? So far it seems to only track LNAV only, and I have to manually adjust the pitch for the VNAV. Thanks so much for everything you do for the community! Zach

The attitude before the flare is already positive you just have to trust that ground effect will be there and flare very slightly. Read this over: http://www.b737.org.uk/landingtechnique.htm
