This is actually looking more like an Air Manager vs. P3Dv5 problem; during subsequent testing, the problem randomly spread to other A2A LVars (that were consistently working properly before). The SPAD.neXt data monitor shows correct values/updates; the Air Manager Data Viewer does not:

Hi folks, Cross-posting this here in the off chance someone has seen this before (the non-MSFS A2A forums see very little activity these days). I'm trying to setup an Air Manager panel for the A2A C182, and I'm having trouble with the manifold pressure / fuel flow gauge. The A2A L:Eng1_ManifoldPressure and L:Eng1_GPH LVars seem to update once, but with garbage values (ie: 0.000295 inHg and 1.0 GPH, respectively). Other A2A C182-specific LVars are updating just fine (regular intervals, sane values). I can see updates on the standard SimConnect variables ENG MANIFOLD PRESSURE:1 and ENG FUEL FLOW GPH:1, but the values for these determined by the sim are on some other scale / unit of measurement / entirely wrong (perhaps computed internally by P3D, but based on different piston engine characteristics). Anyone seen this before? I poked around in the panel XML files (code_c182t_m.xml and code_c182t_r.xml) for the A2A C182, and I can't really determine where the manifold pressure and fuel flow LVars originate from, how they're computed, etc.

Thanks, that's good to know. The SD card issue was the main reason to choose the G500 or the GTN, but if Jepp packages them separately anyway ... Do you have any familiarity with the GNX 375 at all? (probably the newer format?)

Wondering what the optimal device selection is for purchasing occasional navigation data updates through fly.garmin.com? It seems G500 navigation data might be compatible with the RXP-bundled GNS430W/530W trainer, but I also remember seeing something about the GTN6XX series being the better choice? (the latest GTN 6XX trainers inlcude the newer, incompatible format, though?) The most obvious choice - the GNS 430W - uses a non-standard Compact Flash card and USB writer to transfer the updates.

No, it would seem not, which leads me to my next question... Any hints? Was that both the bmap.bin/basemap.bin and worldwide.bin?
