GNS530 startup bug + Autopilot indicator lights
-
@esaahonen yeah, thats why i belive it’s a bug thats not only affecting the autopilot lights.

Could I please get an answer to the question in my first post here? I'm using the 850 almost on daily basis and these problems are pretty annoying.
One more detail about the NAV and HDG light problem: I recently set up Octavi IFR-1 with MobiFlight and when the indicator light problem occurs in virtual cockpit the lights also refuse to work on Octavi (ie. via LVars).
Best regards

Sounds like a local problem; I had to redo my system over the weekend, and after a fresh install of the sim and the TBM and multiple flights, I did not have any such AP issues. I am using a 530 and radio combination FWIW. The only oddity I've seen was my first flight after I changed the avionics; the 530 added duplicate waypoints on me, but still appeared to work. I since restarted the sim and have had anything but perfect operations.
Have you opened a ticket with Just Flight about it?

@jmarkows I have the same problem as @esaahonen, not only on this installation, but also my past one.

We're talking the little green text above each button on the center panel to indicate the active mode, or something else?
I am certain I've seen at least some, if not all of the modes I've used light up on the center panel, as well as ARM, CAPT, etc. on the altitude selector on the pilot's panel, but I want to make sure I'm looking at the same things you guys are.

I went and did some practice approaches tonight on VATSIM, and I made sure to cycle each mode at least once. I never did see ARM for NAV or APR (likely a sim limitation with the stock avionics), but I did get the green indicator above all of the modes as appropriate, and TEST turns red.
I am using the WT 530 as the primary and the radio as the second, no fancy GNS here. I have the WT "pointer" mod installed via the Content Manager, but the TBM almost certainly calls the WT avionics natively and doesn't need it.
