    The modes do appear to activate but there is no visual indication.

      Either, just try cycling to another hot swappable radio configuration once, and that might fix it, or...

      From the FAQ in the manual:

      This is indicative of GPS addon incompatibility. Please make sure that you have updated all the avionics packages that you are using, including the TDS GTNxi 750, PMS50 GTN 750, and that you do not have any outdated packages.

        I am using MSFS2024 with update 3.

        KFC 150 heading, nav, approach light up when using TDS GTNxi 750 and KLN-90B. The autopilot specific annunciator panel above the artificial horizon also light up.

        The GNS 530 does not light up in either KFC 150 or annunciator panel, but the modes do function.

        I checked the panel.cfg reference in a JustFlight Community post. It points to v2 of the WT530.

        This is my new favorite plane. I am working through the various options. Only begun to learn the workings and look forward to mastering (to my abilities) this wonderful plane.

        Thanks.

          Thanks for the summary. Have you make sure the TDS GTNxi is up-to-date, the PMS50 GTN is either not present or up-to-date, and the KLN-90B is the MSFS 2024 version and up-to-date? I know I've asked about everything except the GNS 530, but that's how this can be sometimes. Other GPS units might be interfering with the GNS in unpredictable ways. Glad you're enjoyed the airplane, but I will be a lot happier when we can ensure you have a working GNS 530!

            The KLN-90B is v2.04 (Aug 20).
            The TDS GTNxi is up-to-date. (Recent update)
            I didn’t have PMS50 GTN, so downloaded the latest and installed. The PMS50 GTN doesn’t light up heading, nav or approach either.
            KX 155B did light up the autopilot modes.

            The GNS 530 and PMS50 GTN are failing to light up but the autopilot is functioning.

            Thanks.

            The KLN-90B is the v2.04
