GPS options

Post by alehead » Fri Jan 26, 2018 11:18 am

Dear support team,

I have the Beaver and expansion pack installed in P3D V4 as well as the Flight1 complete pack for GNS650/750.

I am a little (okay, a lot) confused about the selector panel in MVAMS for GPS. I see on the Beaver page on milviz.com that single versions of the GNS650 and GNS750 panel options are available, but when I select those, I end up with 2 GNS650s (when selecting the GNS650 option with WX). I would really prefer the one device in there...

Am I doing something wrong?

Andrew

Not really wrong. It is the way it was designed. Although, we are in the process of upgrading the avionics selection system. Will take that consideration into mind although I can't promise it will be implemented.

Thanks Jonathan for getting back so quickly.

It would be really cool to have the single device, simply with the background that many of the DHC-2s flying do not have dual installed devices at this level normally...

Thanks for at least considering the possibility. It is just a little confusing on the product page:

Flight1 GTN 650 (Single)
Flight1 GTN 750 (Single)
Flight1 GTN 650 & 750 (Combo)
Reality XP GNS 430/530W XP (Combo)
Mindstar GNS 430/530 (Combo)
MilViz GNS 430/530 (Combo)
Or, standard radios only!

I understand "single" to mean just the one device, not two of the single type of device...

I think the reason for the dual 650s is in order to have a second comm radio control

May I make a suggestion?

Couldn't the second comm radio be provided using one of the default radios? That would provide pilots with a second COM/NAV.

With so many potential options, we made choices. This stands.

Sorry
