GNS530 startup bug + Autopilot indicator lights
-
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.

So I did some experimenting, since the AP shows all the lights in 2024 (just copied and pasted the files). I removed the pms50-instrument-gtn750 folder from Community (I don't use the 750, but the Duke's GPS won't autofill the flight plan without it.) Once I removed that folder, and tested the autopilot, I got at least the HDG light. Going to try a flight later and see if I get all the lights, but looks like the PMS conflicts with the GPS in the TBM (how's that for a slew of TLA's?)
Edit: Removing the PMS package fixed the problem for me. All the lights worked, and I don't need the PMS in the TBM for the flightplan. Now I just have to remember to put it back when I fly the Duke.
