Cannot get Reality Xp GNS 530 to show in the airplane

Post by bigred7813 »

Hello,

Not sure if I am doing any thing wrong but i cannot get the Reality XP GNS 530 to show in the aircraft at all. In the in game menus i only have two GPS's to pick from and both are the default P3D gps's. I know the GNS 530 works as i have gotten it to work in other aircraft i own. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Justin

Hello Justin,

What have you tried so far?

All you have to do is run the A2A aircraft config tool (Under your windows start menu > all programs > A2A Simulations) for your 172 and select that you wish to use the GPS and then save. Then start the sim and you will get the option to use the added GPS.

thanks,
Lewis

So when i try to run the aircraft config tool the Reality Xp option is grayed out. I twill not even let me select it to add it to the plane. I have tried to uninstall both the aircraft and the Reality XP GPS and still nothing it will not let me select that GPS :(

thanks,

Justin

Hi Justin,

I believe that future product updates from A2A will include some new GPS configs including the GNS 430/530 from RXP.

In the meantime, the info here may be helpful: https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/5326 ... ns-430530/.

Thanks,
Nick
