Autopilot Nav not working

Post by jacknife » Wed Oct 17, 2018 7:13 pm

Hello
I know Milviz does not feel responsible for my problem ( I saw the post relating to 3rd party addons ) but I am looking for someone who may see this post and may be able to throw some light on my issue in FSX Steam and P3Dv4.3. The problem I am relating now is concerning to the Autopilot in the MilViz DHC-2 Beaver panel. The NAV can not be activated... nor the REV nor the APR in the aircraft panel. The HDG and ALT work fine. So as it stands I can not follow a GPS route shown on the GTN 750 screen. This is a new problem as this function has always worked fine before.
Should note: uninstalled/ re-installed F1GTN 750 Complete, MilViz DHC-2 Beaver, Expansion Pack, Garmin Trainer.

All that is shown in the F1GTN config file for the Beaver MilViz Skis .... F1GTN 750 installed.

[GTN750.1]
TAWS Voice=1
Any ideas?

Thanks
Jack

Did you click on the leftmost SD card of the GTN750 to enable GPS tracking, and select the CDI function of the GTN750?

Hi Bill

Well guess what. Your suggestion has worked ...with a twist in my situation. Let me explain. But first ..let me say again ...it is working .. thanks a lot.

Because my traffic does not show up in the GTN 750 alone or the GTN 750 or 650 when they are in unit 1 but does if they are in unit 2 ( referring to unit 1 and unit 2 in the Flight1 CONFIG V2.06), I can get traffic if I select F1GTN 750/650 in the MilViz Add on Manager but only in the GTN 650. No traffic in the 750 ( unit 1 ) but there is in the 650 ( unit 2 ) so I can have the traffic just not in the GTN 750. Now your idea... tried but did not work at first but then I had an idea...check to see if the sim card was the same in both the 750 and the 650. They were not. Changed them both to Active Navigation Source GTN 750 and that solved the issue.

Thanks again.

Should add I stayed away from the F1CONFIG V 2.06, just used the MilViz Add on Manager to select the GPS options
