gns530 stuck at initialization at loading

[flying_drunkard]

update 1.2 here, when starting up the 850 on the runway, gtn750 comes up and the gns530 boots up but gets stuck at the nav db confirmation screen, non-responsive to pressing 'ENT' button.

2 ways to get the gns530 to get past this screen, 1) press 'esc' and do a 'restart' or using the tablet and selecting kx155, confirm, then reselecting gns530 and confirm.

looked for any mods in the community folder that could interfere with the 530 or the tbn but nothing. is there a stale panel state file that i can delete or something?

thanks!

Press OK on the GNS

I have had this problem before when starting on the runway or using escape and restarting a flight. Pressing Ent/OK does not work. For me I usually just end the flight and restart cold and dark and that fixes it.

Yeah, can't get past that screen when starting on the runway.

Had the same issue. Reported it to Black Square. The only thing that worked for me was switching to KX155 (under Com 2) and then back to GNS 530.

I have noticed this on rare occasion too with the TBM. I suspect that it has something to do with the WT GNS's hot-swapping in combination with requiring the input events for multiple GNS 530's. I will experiment and mention it to WT next time I'm in communication.

This also happens to me each time I spawn hot on the runway.

Two workarounds I’ve found.

1. Cycle the radio master switch off and on again.

2. Select a non-GNS 530 on the tablet, load that configuration, then reselect the GNS 530s on the tablet.
