No HSI/NAV1-signal from secondary avionic selection
-
According to the manual, the secondary avionic device should drive the pilots HSI if no GPS is selected as primary. I, for example, was trying to use a single GNS430 as NAV1 together with the KX 155B in the primary slot, but I can’t seem to get it working. When directing to an airport, the HSI doesn’t seem to get any NAV-signal from the 430, even though it’s the only gps I’m using. I’ve gotten it to work a few times when using a single GTN650, but more often than not, nothing happens and there’s no signal to the HSI when using a single gps in the secondary slot. It doesn't pick up information such as desired track either.
When equipping a gps in the primary slot, everything seems to work fine. Im using the Working Title-fix for the 430/530, flying the piston.
Has anyone had the same problem? Maybe I’m just slow and missing something obvious? -
I confirm, I have been able to reproduce.
Equipped with KX155 and GNS430 I'm unable to get the course displayed on the HSI. It work fine with the GTN650
I m running the sim in SU14. I can't relate about the last WT build part of the beta SU15 -
The GNS 430 is the one exception. Working Title does not have any way for me to access the GPS variables from a secondary unit, unlike the other GPS developers. I have requested this feature in the past, but they obviously have their hands full with other work.
I thought I mentioned this exception in the manual, though... Oh, I see. I said "for example" when referring to the combinations that would work, implying that there were others that would work, as well. I will clarify that in the manual. Thank you for the notes.

@Black-Square Thank you for the quick reply. I see, at least it’s good to know that I hadn’t just missed some hidden nav-switch
I’ll continue using the GTN650 instead, hopefully that’ll work fine. I much prefer the smaller gps-units over the larger ones, so I’m glad that it’s possible to use them separately.Been loving the plane so far, can’t wait to spend more hours flying
