GPS

[Deleted]

        Hey all you Comanche drivers.          Anyone having problems to get the addon GPS's to power up ? .   Seems that some, including me, cannot get the GPS's--other that Default, to power up, power switch just won't activate.

Nope, but which addon GPS are you referring to?

     The GNS 430 & 530 you can callup through the A/C Configuration Popup.

Carm, you need to get specific here . Is this the default GPS or the Mindstar (F1 doesn't make the 430/530 so at least we know it's not that). Let me know and I can test it tonight when I get home.

                      Default operates just fine. It is Mindstar, Flt1, and Reality selections that are the prob.     I'm currently 104m E of the Sault out of  CPN4 @5500, AS 165 I, H- 310' on SSM 112.20,  YZE NDB bearing 030'.  M&P 22 squared. FF is 12.5 GPH.   On Toronto control 135.4.

    Weather looks good at the Sault. If my passenger is up to it, we may carry on to Thunder Bay after a ' pit ' stop.

Well, all I can tell you is that the default, GPS 295 and GTN 650 all operate fine on my system. Can't tell you other than that. Maybe post over at either/both F1 and/or A2A and see what they say.

From what I've been able to read, it's only in the P3D version of the GPS' that are not working. The FSX versions seem to be working fine (as it is with me). Any chance that you accidentally bought the P3D version of the GPS of whichever gauge you are using instead of the FSX version?

As I read the Forms at A2A; they do have an issue with those units power in other than Default mode.   No-I bought the FSX model not the  P3D+FSX bundle--checked the Invoice.      

     This is not a big issue with me, as I can get along in my flying just fine with the default 400. Its just that I hate to spend money for something that doesn't work as it should.

Well, if the problem is at A2A's end, they will fix it (this isn't someone else we know). If it isn't, it may have to go back to F1 to fix but they too are pretty good at fixing things. I don't think you're going to have to worry about paying for something that won't work in this instance. Give them a bit of time and watch the forums there.
