Default (WT) GNS 530 MSG Alert annunciator buttons not working? and Storm Clear switch?
-
Hi All,
Not sure if this is just me but the MSG GPS1 and MSG GPS2 annunciators don't seem to be working with the 530? Seems OK with the PMS GTN 750 though?
Also what is the Storm Clear, On, Off switch for? Is it implemented Doesn't seem to do anything for me?
Cheers

'I recall that Working Title removed the functionality for external message alerts when they took over the default GNS. I will ask them if they can restore it next time we're in touch. The storm clear switch is used for controlling the weather display on the EHSI, which is not implemented yet. I just wanted to have the switch there for future use.'
Hope that helps.

It does, thanks for the response -
Does the MSG GPS1 button also work with the TDS GTN 750? I have never seen that it lights up.
@raller Hey Raller, I'm not sure about the TDS GTN750 as don't have it but it works with the PMS one as mentioned, perhaps someone with the TDS can confirm?
I read on AVSIM that the patch may be out today so small things like this might have already been addressed given BS' attention to detail 😁

The GNS message annunciator functionality is in the hands of Working Title. I provided them with my own fix for this, along with many other improvements for the GNS. My contact said that they will consider them, but not for SU15. I would also like them to implement a fix for the native flight plan loading issue (when a flight plan was created in the simulator's menu), but I wouldn't expect that to come with SU15 either. I will keep you posted if I hear anything more.
