Mindstar 530 installation how-to?

Post by mthiffault »

I tried the forum search and google search with no success, so apologies if this has been asked and answered already.

How does one get the Mindstar GNS 530 to work in the A2A C182?

I have FSX steam edition. I first purchased and installed the A2A C182 from the A2A website. I then purchased and installed the Mindstar GNS 430/530. I used the A2A 182 configurator to select the Mindstar 530 as the GPS (without FSX running). When I start FSX, I definitely still get the default FSX GPS (no support for arrivals/departures in the PROC page).

I see on Mindstar's website that their installer only claims to put the GNS 430/530 into the A2A *172* by default, but the A2A 182 configurator seems to suggest that the 182 should support them as well. Are there any extra steps required to make it work?

Thanks!
Matt T

I can't comment from experience as I don't own the unit, but make sure you go to the shift-3 menu and select the GPS stack you want to use from there. It is in the center of the form and you can click on the GPS to change the installed unit.
