Rapid GNS530W CDI Toggle

dguisinger

@rcigliano Same here, I bought the Warrior to practice instrument approaches with an airplane similar to what I fly in real life, and have the RealSimGear yoketop panel with GNS530/GNS430 and dual G5s and right now its just not useful when you can't get a GPS course on your HSI.

You can uninstall the Working Title GNS's in the Content Manager.
Maybe this solves your problem.

@hama But thats only a workaround for the moment.

I'm pretty sure the WT GNS will get the standard GNS when AAU1 finally arrives.

I only experienced this problem in the Warrior 2 and my Turbo Arrow, so I would appreciate a fix asap.

HaMa

@xantrass i think i have found a solution.
Do have the GTN750 from pms50 inatalled, too?
If so, please go to the pms50 homepage, there you will find a hotfix for the GNS530 that solves the problem.
And of course we have to wait for an updated version of the GNS530 that fixes this permanently.

dguisinger

@hama I don't have anything from pms50 installed.

HaMa

@dguisinger ok, but maybe this patch solves your problem though.

Xantrass

@hama Hey,

I do not have the GTN750 istalled.

But even after I installed the Freeware version and applied the toggle fix the problem still existed.

So no workaround for me except uninstalling the WT GNS.

HaMa

@xantrass ok, sorry to hear that, as i have no other idea.

Toggle the GPS/NAV switch a couple of times.

dguisinger

@gabe777 I haven't found that to work. I can't reliably get it to land on one or the other when it "stabilizes". If I want GPS it inevitably stabilizes on VLOC. If I want VLOC, it decides its going to run in GPS mode. If I can't actually chose which one i need based on the current situation in the cockpit the plane is worthless for shooting instrument approaches.

@dguisinger

Well hopefully JF will fix it.

It is annoying and happens every time I start it.

rcigliano

I have found no solution to this. Uninstalling the WT GNS530 should not be one since it will become the default version.

Can we hear an update on this.

Thanks

dguisinger

Still occurs after the MSFS AAU1 update

Europa27

@dguisinger I don't think much changed at all with the full AAU1 release compared to the last AAU1 beta we had. I imagine JF have fixed it with the upcoming PA28 updates. :crossed_fingers:

HaMa

I had it after AAU1 too.
So i opened the content manager and saw that there are two GNS430/530 by Working Title listet now. So i uninstalled the older one (the one with the picture of the GNS), went to my community folder and deleted the fix from pms50.
After this the standard GNS worked as it should.

@europa27 I hope so, I haven't seen any indication that JF is working on an update. The last thing I saw from them from last year was Flight Sim changed so often they were holding off on updates.

This is actually stopping me from spending more money with JF on other aircraft. I need to see that they actually fix and maintain them....

@dguisinger

Have a look here (second from last post):

@europa27 Oh, that is great news. I wish they would have published that more publicly. I am excited to see that update and then get the other PA28s
