Grandtheftwars Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 X-plane 11 C172SP. Selected and activated an approach through GNS530/430. All waypoints showing on GNS530/430 map but G500 unit showing direct magenta line to destination airport with no waypoints Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 Unfortunately currently X-Plane does not expose the approach segment of the flight plan via API. We have a request in, and have had good discussions with them, about adding this capability during the XP12 run, but it isn't possible currently. The rest of the flight plan should show (Departure, Enroute, Arrival), it is just approaches that don't. A bit more detail, per the product page: Quote Note: The default GNS 530/430 avionics do not expose approach waypoint information. SIDs, STARs, and enroute flight plans will show up on the G500 map and flight plan page, but approaches will not, due to this Laminar Research limitation. If this changes, we will integrate full waypoint drawing. This does not affect the HSI for flying approaches, just the depiction onthe map. RealityXP avionics (GTN 750/650 and GNS 530/430) are fully integrated show waypoints from all phases of flight without issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandtheftwars Posted January 22 Author Report Share Posted January 22 Gotcha, wish they would've highlighted that particular note in red on the product page. I thought all the bullet points were additional features. Thanks for letting me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
