Help With RealityXP GNS-430 VLOC Issue

Post by jaybird1nyc »

Hi all,

Quick question, does anybody have the RealityXP GNSv2 working in VLOC mode? I can't for the life of me get it working. I believe I've tried every combination using the RXP settings dialog but I can't get any needle deflection on VOR1. I have it working perfectly in GPS mode but no joy in VLOC mode.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Jay

Hi Jay,

Yes, assuming you have an up-to-date installation of the RXP software, you should be able to get this working successfully. (RXP corrected a little bug with the initial release; more info here.)

The RXP settings you'll need are as shown below.

One final tip: if VOR1 CDI deflection is still not working in VLOC mode, try using the Shift 3 menu to switch back to the "No GPS" configuration, check the NAV/COMM1 radio is switched on, then switch back to the GNS 430. :wink:

Thanks,
Nick

Nick,

Success!

It was indeed the tip you mentioned about having to switch on the default Nav/Com that worked.

Thanks so much for your help.

Happy Flights,
Jay
