There ar some datarefs you could expect you could use, but they are read-only.Īt this moment there are two mutually exclusive options for the default C172 and RNAV approaches with vertical guidance with the RXP sytem:Ĭonnect to VOR1: handfly the approach from FAF onwards and have full OBS functionality on the GPSĬonnect to the not existing HSI: autopilot available for the approach from FAF onwards, but no OBS functionality on the GPS Thanks, Indeed I also expect that waiting for an improved version of the datarefs will be required. I'll keep a note to revisit this in the future though.Įdited March 18 by The issue is complex because there are many different diverging sources and limitations in XP11.

I've also not revisited this for a long time now but I've spent countless hours trying every single combination I could and this is deeply rooted in the internal XP11 logic upon which we have not much control. It can't be both and HSI OBS has a priority over VOR OBS because of the "override_gps" making them both dependent. This is why our GUI Settings Panel is indicating the OBS you'll be taking data from to feed the RXP GPS is either the HSI OBS if you connect HSI, or the VOR OBS if you connect VOR. However because of how the XP11 internal datarefs are used and sources, it seems there is no way to also have the NAV OBS working as expected when overriding the GPS datarefs related to the HSI. The RXP GPS setting "Connect HSI" is basically telling to override the "gps_xxx" datarefs which are the ones the HSI is displaying when it is in GPS mode (fromto, hdef/vdef, course). There is no "hsi override" and this instrument related datarefs are sourced from either NAV or GPS depending on the source selector. This depends on some internal "logic" depending on the type of autopilot and a few other aircraft specific settings/configuration in plane maker.īecause there are similar limitations with it too. What does this has to do with "Connect to HSI"įor the similar reasons, the autopilot system in XP11 is not taking in account the override_gps unless we also override some hsi related datarefs. The problem with this dataref is that unlike the traditional sim/cockpit2/radios/indicators/nav1_flag_glideslope it is not honoring the "override_nav1_needles" which is the dataref supposed to be used when plugins are overriding the nav needle source data. go to line 633 and see it is using sim/cockpit2/radios/indicators/nav1_flag_glideslope_mech open in notepad++ Cessna 172SP\objects\instruments\vor_glideslope_adf\vor1_gs_ag.objĢ.

I forgot to mention that it wouldn't work either on the previous version of the GTN 750 on X Plane 11.5.Ĭan anyone please share some light as to how to fix this, or what are the steps to follow to troubleshoot this issue? Any help is greatly The issue is complex because there are many different diverging sources and limitations in XP11.įor example, the default C172 VOR1 is using a few new datarefs which are not respecting the "override_" datarefs:ġ. I also must add that before this setup, I was using X Plane version 11.4 with the previous version of the GTN 750 without any problem - all planes would follow the GS, so I believe there has been a disconnect between the new 11.5 version of X Plane and the GTN 750. ini file but in the way the device is communicating with X Plane 11.5. I also contacted Carenado Support, and they sent me as a solution the file for their planes. I have read several posts here from the past (2018) where a similar situation was happening to another guy, and I followed the different fixes suggested like disconnecting the "Connect GPS to VOR" (I tried it while connected and disconnected) but it didn't correct the issue.

When I switch all planes to the default Garmin 530, no problem in capturing the GS. However, on approach, neither of the planes captures the glide slope. In ALL of them, the GTN 750 blends with the cockpit without any issues, can follow a flight plan and connects with the autopilot well for flying the plane. I have X Plane 11.5 installed, Reality XP GTN 750 installed and updated to the latest version which I use in the following aircrafts: I hope anyone can help me figure this one out.
