All good but there is no way to set the frequency for Com to any frequency that doesn't have decimals that are not units of .25. Try tuning to 119.330, it can't be done. Real shame because I want the ATIS from my local airport EGTE :(
I just purchased the Careando Seneca. I cannot get the 530 or 430 to GPS. Engaging the cdi selector does nothing & radio’s remain in V Loc. How do I get the radios to GPS so I can use the autopilot???
Ah. There was a bug with that prior to update 15. If you try to start from the runway does it work? I think that was the workaround I had to do at the time
Ugh...is there a way to load a flight plan without entering it manually in the Working Title 530? (Question answered below--my flight plan did not load initially from the world map but it did finally when I restarted the flight.)
The only terrain option for the 530 is the relative terrain display that I show in the video. It’s especially useful if you can run two 530s side by side so one map is on nav and the other is on the relative terrain display. There is no link with Navigraph as far as I know.
I can't get the GNS530 to change the heading on the HSI. The CDI will show the proper deviation if I'm off course but I have to manually change the heading to my next point.
@@pineyhills9066 So, I know some planes don’t sync the CDI needle automatically for you. For example, the Black Square King Air does not. I’m not sure about the Seminole since I don’t have it, but that would be my guess.
Is there a way to change the panel on the C172 Skyhawk to include steam gauges with the Garmin GNS530? Currently the model that’s in my hanger is the one with G1000. I was hoping to practice the sim for my IFR training.
You need the premium version of Flight Sim to get the 172 with round gauges, unfortunately. It's a completely separate airplane in the selection screen.
@@FlightSimSchoolthank you for replying. That’s kinda of a bummer to have to buy a whole game again. I wish there was a way to either change the equipment out or just buy the plane. Anyways, thank you again for your help!
I find capturing a glide slope a hit and miss affair on Rnav and lpv. When it works the autopilot reduces my altitude automatically i just set flaps and power. Issue is its in consistent. Maybe you could do a focus on this part of the procedure. Also after setting up procedures if you just hit the direct to button it will automatically put your first vector in to complete the flight plan on the gps before you take off.
Yes, I've noticed that it can be a bit inconsistent as well for the approaches. I'll likely do a follow-up at some point on how to maximize the chances of it working properly
@FlightSimSchool thank you very much for this tutorial. Can you tell me if there are any tutorials that cover saving, recalling and activating flight plans with the GNS530?
@@davidwilkinson4969 The screen where you select the airplane/livery/etc, if you load a flight plan route there, it should load into the 530 automatically
@@FlightSimSchool if I set up a flight plan in the world map I don't see a way to include an approach. Can a flight plan loaded this way be edited within the GNS to add an approach?
Thank you for a very helpful video. I have been fighting with the 530 forever with no luck till now. I did manage to get the flight plan loaded and in the air on the way to Midway with the manual vectoring after about 4 watches of that part. A few more times through the video, and I'll finally have it! I'd love to see another video going deeper on the 530.
This is an excellent introduction, thank you for putting the effort in. I'm returning to flight simming after a work-enforced absence of a year and having just bought the excellent Carenado 182 RG II, I wanted a quick and to the point refresher on the 530. This was it! One question, though - re the traffic feature at 13.53, you said that after it's enabled it will appear in any of the map views. I've been able to see traffic in the Traffic page itself, but nothing is showing on the other map pages. I've tried changing the level of detail in the displays, but no change. Have I missed a menu setting in the 530 that enables this? I'm using the latest build of the Working Title version. Thanks for any advice!
@@FlightSimSchool yes, through Marketplace, and I double checked it earlier, just to make sure I wasn't being dumb. I'll check it out in a different aircraft tomorrow (next year lol!)
Very useful and well explained video. Keep up the great work!
Awesome. And yes please for more detail on the different approaches. Love ur videos
Is there a section on how to do a Direct to?

I believe there is a way to change the spacing if you go to the last page that you can access with the configuration options

I’ve noticed it can be buggy at times, but it usually works… eventually.
Your tutorials are fantastic. You are very thorough and much appreciated
I'm mostly using it with the DHC-2 Beaver. I'd like to see if it has terrain and if it links with Navigraph and any other tricks.

Not anudder one 😂
Thank you for the tutorial!
Is it possible to create a user waypoint with definite lat / lon?
I don’t think that’s possible right now, at least not that I know of

@@NiveK0510 You should look up for Piper Comanche 250 from A2A Simulations - it has a GNS 530/430 and it's the best choice of GA planes for MSFS :)
Is there a way to add airways? In XP11 It used to come up in phantom 300 now it doesnt in msfs black square b60
Not that I know of…
@@FlightSimSchool thanks, Is there a reason why airways are not programmable?
Because they haven't coded it; it should be there as far as I know.
@@FlightSimSchool cheers
