MSFS 2024. Cannot get the 530 to work
-
I have installed and run the Arrows in 2024. Everything seems to work just fine except I cannot get the 530 to power on. Not sure what I’m doing wrong, but there is no display. I’ll try it in 2020 later today.

I have the same issue with the arrow for MSFS2020 as well as the GNS430 and GPS100 is also black. I can get the GPS 100 to come on only when I select the ready for take off in the EFB. I even reloaded MSFS2020 and still no joy. The GNS530/430 works fine in the default C172 model. I've cranked the volume on the GNS530/430 to 11. So it not due to lack of trying
to put power on. -
@Martyn So far I’ve only tried from Cold and Dark. Also, the AP doesn’t want to work.

It doesn’t work when started on the runway with engines running either. Also, the autopilot on my RJ doesn’t work either now. I’ll check my F28 and 146 also, but I am seeing a pattern here. the autopilot and 530 do work in non-JF planes. This is happening in both 2020 and 2024

Also here with arrow bundle. Same for the gtn750...it doesnt appear on the tablet list but it's functional on external window.

@GaryG I know how the tablet works... but in the pic i've linked there are 2 problems at the same time:
1 - the wt gns 530 has just blank displays as I spawn on the runway (like the problem issued by @dadgametime ).
2 - the PMS-50 GTN 750 won't show up in the list of gps Aircraft options (in the tablet) but if I launch it by it's own indipendent window it works (as shown in the pic)Maybe I've been too short in the description of the problems in the previous post.

Finally got a login.
I can confirm I see same gtn530 issue in both 2020 and 2024 (su2 beta 4.18)
It’s both from cold and dark and also when spawn on runway. The buttons light up round the screen but screen is black. AP also turns off heading mode straight away. In case that is related
I also tried the “recharge battery” which didn’t help.
Also tried with just the arrows bundle in the community folder but problem was still there
V0.6.0a -

Very odd.. now also working in 2024. All I have done is tried emptying the community folder (renamed it) and just loading the pa-28s. Which didnt help. Then put the community folder back. Since then I tried a different livery - HB-PMB and it works ok. Even on the original default livery. Sorry that probably doesnt help much.

I'm still having this issue in 2020, latest version of the Arrow installed. I tried both with and without the marketplace WT GNS installed (I assume it should be without since it's integrated into the base code now?). Uninstalled/reinstalled the Arrow, still doesn't work. Can't turn them on manually from cold and dark, don't appear when starting on the runway either.

We're not aware of any GPS issues in our PA28s with the latest builds. My first suggestion would be to complete a fresh reinstall of the affected product(s), ensuring that you have the latest version installed. The latest version of the Arrow III is v0.11.3.
If the issue persists, then I would recommend trying this with only the Arrow III in your Community folder. That will then tell us if there is a conflict with another mod.
If you rename your Community folder something like "Community.old" and then create a new one named "Community" and run the Arrow III installer, that will allow you to test this with an empty Community folder and then revert back to your old Community folder without having to reinstall everything. If the GPS powers on normally without anything else in your Community folder, then that points towards a conflict with another mod in your the "Community.old" folder.
If the above solutions don't work, could we kindly ask you to raise a ticket with Just Flight Support at the following link, and one of our support team will be able to assist with further troubleshooting: https://www.justflight.com/support
