  1. GNS430 only shows "XPlane 12"

    in Entegra SR22 Series

    Posted

    It appears you are using the X-Plane 12.4 beta. There will be an update coming with fixes for 12.4. The error message indicated is a warning that has no bearing on use of the product (just an old dataref being read by the plugin)

    Regarding the GTN, on the screen freeze, that is likely an issue with RXP itself. 

    Regarding the GNS, do any of the other buttons work, or is still always just showing the GNS load screen?

  2. TDS GTN and avionics bus

    in BN-2B Piston Islander

    Posted

    Currently the shipping config files use the primary bus as the default. This was due to compatibility issues with RealityXP. We don't currently ship any TDS configs ourselves for the Islanders. The X-Plane avionics dataref is set by us based on the state of the switch & power to the bus, so if TDS can read that, then it should be good to use. 

  4. No Flight Mode Annuntiation in G500 ?

    in G500 Avionics Suite

    Posted

    The Garmin G500 (note, not the newer Garmin G500 TXi, which is an entirely different piece of avionics) does not have any autopilot mode indicators. It'll show the flight director, but the mode indication is something that would be indicated separately. Commonly G500 avionics equipped aircraft would either use a remote autopilot annunciator panel (GI 285 or similar) or an autopilot head unit that contains one bundled (such as the GMC605) -- or non Garmin APs such as Bendix-King or similar that have their own either internal or external mode annunciators. 

  12. Rpm issue

    in G1000 SR20

    You are running at 5fps. The physics engine requires your simulator to be running at least at 20fps, ideally 30+ fps. X-Plane in general requires >20fps to function properly.

  18. the AP doesn't work

    in CitationJet 525

    There are multiple cases that prevent the AP from engaging, make sure the roll knob is centered on the AP panel, as well as that the gyro is not in fast-erect mode. The cases are documented in the manual that prevent AP from being able to turn on.

    Latest iteration of the saga. The RXP GTN works when I remove the GTNXI plug in. That plugin is up to date. There is some inter-action between the two  that is screwing things up.

    Ah - yes you can't have both installed and have reliable actions from them.

  21. Missing sounds/some bugs

    Hi,

    Apologies for the delay in replying. I have done some extensive tests, and the following are my observations.

    Sounds:

    * I checked my sliders in X-Plane - all maxed. I discovered my headset was set as system COMMUNICATION DEVICE, and not HEADPHONES. This seemed to make a minor difference in quality due to the max bitrate of the output.

    * Nose gear RETRACT sound - this only plays ONCE! Once you have taken off and retracted the gear, it NEVER plays again unless you land, AND THE NOSEWHEEL TOUCHES THE GROUND. I'm assuming there is some air/ground logic tied to the nosegear, and for some reason the gear retract audio is dependent upon the aircraft having been on the ground. You can replicate this by flying around and just cycling the gear. Extension plays always; retraction only plays on the first retract cycle since being on the ground.

    * AP disconnect sound is practically inaudible, even with headphone volume turned up and being deafened by the engine noise.

    * Wind noise is extremely quiet if it is present. I flew at 300 kts and couldn't discern any difference in noise.

    DME:

    * DME speed and time display - this is bugged. It works as expected as long as the aircraft trajectory is in the 180 cone flying AWAY from the station. As soon as the aircraft has any closure rate with the station, the DME speed/time reads zero (e.g., flying directly towards the station still reads zero).

    Flight Director/Autopilot:

    * HDH mode - I checked real-world docs, and it should roll to wings level THEN hold whatever heading it is flying the moment it reaches wings level. It is NOT a simple wing-leveler; if the aircraft is disturbed after this point, it will roll back to the heading it was on. The bug is that it is capturing the heading at whatever moment ANY flight director or AP mode is engaged. This is the part that is not correct.

    For the avoidance of doubt, the sequence of events for HDH mode is thus:

    * HDH mode (e.g., all FD and AP modes DISABLED).
    * Aircraft is flown with e.g., a 20 degree left bank
    * AP is engaged.
    * ALT HLD engages, and HDH becomes the active roll mode
    * Aircraft at moment of activation is passing 210 degrees heading
    * Aircraft should roll to wings level, at say 200 degrees heading
    * HDH should enter heading-hold submode at wings-level on 200 degrees, and not any other heading that was present prior to this.

    HDH mode should "forget" the heading it was on when the AP is disengaged. Upon being re-engaged, it will again roll wings level ONLY, and THEN hold whatever heading it is on at that moment.

    The roll knob will operate as it currently does as this is correct.

    Confirmed working as you describe:

    * GPU generator (seems the default setting of 800 A is already sufficient to prevent volt drop during start)

    * Battery overheat

    * Engine fan - I compared this to several videos on YT (yes, I'm aware of the problems of sound recording and YT compression), and it sounds very similar.

    Thanks for the detailed reports, I've got these filed!

  22. Cessna 525 No landing gear or operative switches

    Now i have this same problem. Plane has worked just fine for many flights but not anymore. X-aviation plugin is working and showing that licence is activated. What now ?

    The aircraft also has to reverify itself outside the main activation system. It will hold a cache for ~2 weeks, so if a conflicting plugin is reinstalled it wouldn't be obvious in that time period.
