Garmin 530/430 - cannot switch on...?

Ben104

This is silly, hardly dare to ask: how do I switch on the 530/430's?

Cristi Neagu

@Ben104 There should be a rotary knob on the left hand side, at the top, in between the two frequency switch buttons. Twist that towards the right. If that doesn't work, you probably have the black screen bug and you'll have to restart the sim.

Thanks. I can see the Garmins 'switching on' but the screens remain black. So, I have a black screen bug, even after restarting the sim. Will restart the PC, install the gtn750 and hope for the best!

I seem to have the black screen bug as well. I have found no combination of resets / restarts /reboots that will fix this.

There has to be a way, hopefully.

Are you using the bundle version of the product? If so, please download the latest version from your account.

I have downloaded the latest bundle version and I am still getting the black GPS screens.

Hello.
I also cannot switch on the 530/430. I just installed v0.7.0, but the screens remain black.

Problem is back after installing v0.2.0 Arrow III/IV Bundle - GPS are on, but screens are blank and no GTN 750 availability. I had the same problem with the previous bundle version and I resolved it by moving the package to a new folder in order to keep the folder path under 256 characters, however this did not resolve the issue this time. I have have opened a ticket.

I have the exact same issue - blank GPS screens after the latest update. I have raised a ticket.

Edited to add: Version 0.2.1 fixes the problem :)

It seems like a problem tha occurs everytime when we install an uptade. I guess is an issue envolving updating and state saving...

Martyn

If you're using the bundle version and encounter any GNS/GTN issues, those will be resolved by a v0.2.1 update which is due for release today.

Thanks for the super fast response! The 2.1 update fixed the issues. Awesome job!
