Flight1 gns not linking with a2a cdi

Post by Hf17 »

Hi. For some reason, the cdi needles are not moving even when the gps is in gps mode. Im also unable to do lpv approaches. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hi and welcome to the A2A forums.

Other users of Flight1 GPS products have reported than updating to the latest version of the Flight1 software has resolved similar problems.

However, we'll be better able to help if you can give us a bit more info. For example, which host simulator are you using, and which aircraft?

Thanks,
Nick

Okay, please let us know how you get on; if the issue persists can you check CDI deflection using a default P3D aircraft such as the Maule M7 too.

Configure it in the Flight1 GTN app.

Having the same issue with all A2A products. CDI seems to be driven by the default GPS, and Prepar3d flight plans only. Nav source button doesn't work either, only when pressing obs. Flight1/A2A Software/P3D are all up-to-date.

Please make sure the default NAV radios aren't failed in the P3D failures menu and double-check that it's definitely the most recent version of the Flight1 software that you have installed. (i.e. don't just rely on their updater tool). Other customers have reported that downloading updates to the Flight1 software has fixed similar issues.

Failures are off. Fresh install with latest installer after removing everything Flight1 related in ProgramData, AppData, Prepar3d folder. CDI is still driven with the Prepar3d Flight Plan. Not sure if its A2A integration or Flight1 at fault.
RealityXP version works fine and so does the GTN.

It's probably worth double-checking various options in the Flight1 configurator. There have probably been various updates to the Flight1 product since the 172 integration was last updated. Unfortunately it's a bit harder for us to track of any issues with Flight1 integration as they don't have open forums like RealityXP.

If you own the RealityXP GNS and it's working for you, how come you wish to use Flight1 version?

I had the Flight1 version first. Configurator is setup correctly. Probably something on their end.
