That's because in this avionics installation, the GTN is not connected to the autopilot in such a way that it can give the autopilot a bank angle command. There are two ways an autopilot can follow a signal sent by a FMS or GPS unit: deviation steering: the autopilot knows nothing about the GPS's path, just what is shown on the HSI, and steers like it would for a VOR signal, based solely on the selected course and CDI deflection roll steering: the autopilot receives a bank angle computed by the GPS, and just follows that rather than computing a steering solution itself. Solution (2) is superior, because it allows the autopilot to follow complex paths that a HSI cannot show, such as arcs and holding patterns. The SPZ-5000 site (which the 525 is equipped with) only has one input capable of (2), that's the one marked "FMS" on the EHSI source panel, and it's fed by the UNS-1. The GTN 1 and 2 units are connected to the NAV sources, which as far as the autopilot is concerned are just nav radios, so they use deviation steering (solution 1). That means that you cannot follow arcs or holding patterns on them because the HSI course pointer for a holding pattern just points along the inbound course. The way to use the GTN for RNAV approaches is then: Fly the flight plan using the FMS. Make sure you load the same STAR and approach (and any directs you get given along the way) in both the FMS and the GTN once established on the final approach course, sync the heading bug, switch to heading mode, then change nav sources to the GTN (and make sure the GTN is sending GPS, nor VLOC, signals) once you see the correct lateral and vertical deviation from the GTN on the EHSI, engage APPR mode on the autopilot

That’s good news though, that means it’s not ghosts! I would suggest running the X-Plane installer again just to make sure your world airports aren’t corrupted somehow (which those log messages seem to indicate). Worth also nuking the whole X-Plane/Output/caches directory too for good measure.

that’s very strange, I can’t reproduce any of that on any of my machines. As a last resort, could you please try with clean X-Plane install? The log still shows some scenery oddities even with stock scenery, which is surprising.

Looking at your log, it definitely looks like there is something weird going that corrupted or seriously messed up the airport cache. Could you try without any third party scenery? you are also running fedora which isn’t - distribution I can test or support more than “best effort”. Was there a system update since the last time this worked correctly?

What happens if you try to manually enter any of said airports in the flight plan?

Hello! Please post a log, this sounds suspiciously like the airport cache has gotten corrupted and isn’t returning all airports. If that’s the case: quit the sim, delete X-Plane/Output/caches/uns1, then start the sim again. That should solve it. as for the date being one month ahead, that’s a known issue with this build. I’ve sent the TorqueSim guys a new build that fixes this and will be included whenever the next update comes out

No, the UNS doesn’t set the NAV1 course. It doesn’t IRL either, it’s just not wired this way with this avionics suite. not sure what you mean by “dial it using HDG” — you’d match the heading but with your current heading, then switch the AP mode to HDG. Then change navigation sources to NAV1, set the ILS/LOC front course using the CRS1 knob, then follow ATC instructions u til you can arm NAV or APPR on the autopilot.

Check that there isn’t an FMS message (a yellow flashing “MSG” on the title line of the CDU screen). It’s possible the flight plan file is bad and could not be read (in which case your Log file would be helpful )

To be clear, this is how it is in the real plane — the 525 does not have a separate tiller

To load a pilot route in the UNS-1: Press the [FPL] function key to call up the flight plan page; If there are fewer than two legs on the flight plan, a "COPY PLT RTE" prompt is present on the FPL 1/1 page; Otherwise, Delete the flight plan and insert your departure airport. Select the COPY PLT RTE prompt (LSK 4 Right), then pick the route you want in the list As Pils said, the FMS just reads whatever is in `X-Plane/Output/FMS Plans`, and that's what will be listed on that page

For anyone else checking here: the procedure to change the units in the UNS-1 is described in the UNS-1 manual that is installed alongside the plane

So interestingly LittleNavMap seems to have generated invalid v11 .fms files. The departure and arrival blocks should read ADEP ICAO ADES ICAO Since they are both airports. LNM used `DEP` and `DES`, which are reserved for flight plans that begin or end at waypoints (fix/VOR/NDB/what have you). Might be worth letting the LittleNavMap devs know!

Like Cameron said, what you get with other planes doesn't have much to do with it. The CL650 is a bit more GPU-heavy than the TBM and the Zibo. I had a M1 machine when the CL650 was in beta, and I was seeing frame rates similar to what you reported. The M1 is a best when it comes to CPU workload, but its GPU is a bit weak for the Challenger unfortunately.

Yes, we are discussing the ProLine avionics suite, which is modelled in the HotStart 650. The shortcoming you brought up twice now are not with the simulation, but with the actual, real-life avionics. The aim of this add on is to accurately simulate the real avionics, so the shortcomings will not be fixed if they exist on the real unit.

Like @skiselkovsaid for the other case, thats not a bug; that’s how the ProLine 21 draws course-to-fix legs. Once the plane passes 1,100ft, it will do a right-hand turn to establish on the coded course into D266N.
