Flight1 GTN750 doesn't power on

Post by coaje1 »

I set the FLIGHT1 750 GPS in the C182 aircraft configurator.
The GPS doesn't power on it the C182. All other avionics are on. The GPS doesn't drive the CDI. When I switch to VLOC id does. Has anybody experienced this?

F1 G750 version 2.09

Hello coaje1 and welcome,

Please can you try using the Shift 3 2D menu to switch to the "no GPS" option and verify that both the Bendix King radios are powered on. After doing so, use the same menu to switch back to the GTN 750.

If this doesn't resolve the issue, please can you confirm if the GTN 750 works as expected in other aircraft, and also let us know which host simulator you're using.

Thanks,
Nick

I used the Shift 3 menu confirmed that both Bendix King radios were powered on. I switched back to GPS but it was still off.
The GTN 750 works in other (non A2A) aircraft. I have the same issue on the A2A's Cherokee and Comanche.

The F1 GTN 750 runs on the same host as P3D.
P3D version is 4.4.16

Okay, thanks for the additional info.

In that case, please can you just confirm which version of the product installers for P3Dv4 you're using. We released new installers in May of last year.

If you're using the latest installer for the Cessna 182 it'll bring the installed version up to 18.12.31.0 as shown here. The installed version number is shown in the Windows "apps & features" or "uninstall or change a program" window.

Thanks,
Nick

I have the latest version 8.12.31.0
I ran the updater and it also confirmed I have the latest version.

In that case, I suggest reinstalling the C182 just in case the .ini file for the GTN has been modified. After reinstalling, you'll need to reselect the F1 GTN 750 using the Aircraft Configurator.

Thanks,
Nick

I uninstalled C180, deleted the folder and then re-installed. Unfortunately the GPS is still off.

I've just updated my installation of the F1 GTN 750 to 2.09 (previously I had 2.08) but still can't reproduce this issue coaje1.

Please can you let us know which aircraft loads in your P3D default scenario? Also, do you have any other add-ons installed which may be affecting the software initialisation? (e.g. FSUIPC)

Thanks,
Nick
