This MASTER CLASS is EXACTLY what I have been wishsing for. You are an excellent instructior. (Take it from me. I'm a retired professor.) Thanks a million. I'll be watching more of your content.
How you don't have hundreds of thousands os subscribers I'll never understand. Thank you so much for these videos. One thing to note at 43:06 is that I actually saw this screen, a couple of times. It was on a PC12, doing an RNAV approach in the middle of storm Idalia in Florida. This was on xbox. So just keep in mind, if the weather conditions are bad enough, you will see this.
@gama1123, good to know. I actually encountered this myself recently - but without any weather. Not sure If working title has programed in GNSS network outages, or if it something else that is triggering it. Thanks for the kind words, and thanks for watching!
Glad you enjoyed it mismish. Part two will be out next week, and then I will be diving into RNAV/GPS approaches with both the G1000 and the GNS430/530. As always, thanks for the kind words, and thanks for watching!
Excellent tutorial. Been flying the 737-800 and other airliners. Started to fly the Cessna C182 RGII and I wanted to learn correctly the Garmin System. This was just perfect. Thanks.
@Rookblunder - Glad the content was helpful for you. I like using the C182RG as a primary instrument platform, and it's what I use to fly many of the approaches on this channel to make sure they are accurate/flyable before I film on the 172. Thanks for watching!
Glad you enjoyed the content and found it helpful @dasdguy7606. Working Title has done a good job of putting out a quality piece of avionics simulation that's a lot of fun to use! Thanks for watching!
@FlatOutMatt, I've heard it's a great service. The world-wide coverage and level of integration they've achieved with the sim is very impressive! I'd get a subscription if I weren't so cheap! 😄
So is it possible to have the working title units and not have downloaded the freeware, with the current sim update? I have the standard edition. At least in the Pilatus, and maybe the robins, I get the boot up screens and SAT acquisition etc. I’ll echo what has been said already; the effort you put into this is amazing, and very much appreciated! Obviously it doesn’t replace formal training for flying IRL, but being more facile in the sim is such a headstart.
@zachlogan1054, some third party aircraft don't have the working title units installed as default - so it's a good idea to have the (free) Working Title 530/430 mod installed via the marketplace. I think most developers use the working title units now - but there may be a few that do not, and the free mod will upgrade them. Thanks for the kind words. Glad you are enjoying the content, and finding it helpful. Thanks for watching!
Great tutorial! I'm just getting started with the WT GNS 530W in the WB-SIM 172. The manual tells me the NAV page group has five pages: Default, Map, TAWS, NAV/COM, and Satellite Status. But I'm missing the NAV/COM page and instead I have a TRAFFIC page. Just like you! I've posted a query about it on the Discord servers for GNS 530 and for the WB-SIM, but no replies so far. Any idea why our setup is different from the vanilla version in the manual?
@geoffkent, glad you enjoyed the content, and thanks for watching. Not sure why WT would have chosen to omit the NAV/COM page, as they are usually about replicating the operation of the real world unit as closely as possible. Best guess would be that the NAV/COM page has redudent functions that are duplicated elsewhere, and they wanted to include the TRAFFIC page for MSFS - but that's purely a guess on my part.
I have seen the INTEG warning show up when I change time of day mid-flight. It appears to me that possibly the simulated GPS satellites move so a sudden time shift will cause the receiver to lose them. It only takes a few moments to reestablish connection.
@user-jd4yy1on6y, unfortunately while the custom waypoint page is there, the function does not seem to be working at this time. I've tried a few times, and it just doesn't seem to work correctly right now.
@frysimulation - I'm not really familiar with the A2A 250, but reading over their documentation it does look like the WT GNS 530 is available as an option on the aircraft.
Could you do a video explaining how this interacts with the auto pilot and how to properly use the auto pilot. It seems very glitchy to me and I am trying to figure it out. Using classic 172. When wanting to change altitude and or heading Im having to turn the auto pilot on and off etc to get it to respond and also the altitude hold and climb rates are causing me issues. I increase my altitude on the dial and the plane does not respond to the changes. Thanks much
@Hal_Bundy I did a video specifically on the 172 classic autopilot that is available here: czcams.com/video/oGr-LrNQ0GU/video.htmlsi=RGmaWnC9AXmT1Zdn Just be aware that the only thing from the GPS you can couple to that autopilot is the lateral nav mode in most phases of flight. You can also couple it to the vertical guidance on an LPV or +V type RNAV GPS approach. Make sure the number one nav display is displaying GPS data and not VLOC data to couple.
Maybe a stupid question, but do the simulator base the satelite data on real life satelites? Does it have live data of where satlites are positioned currently, similar to live traffic and weather?
Is there a way to make a custom waypoint on a radial from a navaid? Like if you have a D270Q e.t.c. on a chart. E.g. on the Boeing IIRC you have to enter something like ABC270/17 to make a waypoint on the 270 radial of VOR ABC at 17 DME.
@chrisloach9658, that is a feature on the real world GNS 530/430, but it does not seem to be functional in the sim at this time. The page is there, but it doesn't seem to work correctly right now.
@Uploadvideoschannel, I'm afraid I don't know much about hooking up specialized hardware to MSFS. You might try searching the MSFS forums to see if anyone else has tried something like that.
@chrisloach9658 - that is correct. It can generate a glidepath for an LPV or +V approach, but it will not generate a VNAV glidepath. The 530 does have a VNAV function - but it basically works as a countdown timer to tell you when to descend, it does not generate any sort of path to follow.
@frysimulation, I think it's just a way to have more data available to you at the same time (e.g. moving map on the 530 with different data fields on the 430 nav page 1.) Seems like an expensive way to do it in the real world - but it makes for a nice avionics stack in MSFS.

Great stuff again. FYI, you don’t have to click exactly on the keyboard symbol, which is handy in turbulence.
That's a handy feature, and good to know. Thanks for the info! Glad you enjoyed the content, and thanks for watching!
great lesson!
@VitoVituccio, glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!
Great video.thanks.

Sorry could not edit post for some reason. You also do not have to click on the key board symbol to disengage it. Anywhere in the screen will do.
Nice one thanks

Hi. Thank you for you video. Is there any way to have the working title gns 530/430 in the dc3 duckwors mode instead the Asobo one?
I have seen the INTEG warning show up when I change time of day mid-flight. It appears to me that possibly the simulated GPS satellites move so a sudden time shift will cause the receiver to lose them. It only takes a few moments to reestablish connection.
That sounds like a plausible explanation @RoughLandings77. It's pretty impressive that they've simulated even the satellite network in such detail!
Is it possible to create a custom waypoint? I have an A2A Comanche250 for MSFS with GNS530, but I can't create a custom waypoint in GNS530. Thanks.
@user-jd4yy1on6y, unfortunately while the custom waypoint page is there, the function does not seem to be working at this time. I've tried a few times, and it just doesn't seem to work correctly right now.
Great video. I understand the A2A 250 also supports this as an option ?

@chrisloach9658, that is a feature on the real world GNS 530/430, but it does not seem to be functional in the sim at this time. The page is there, but it doesn't seem to work correctly right now.
how can i map the GNS430 controls to a button box?
@Uploadvideoschannel, I'm afraid I don't know much about hooking up specialized hardware to MSFS. You might try searching the MSFS forums to see if anyone else has tried something like that.
Can the G530 172 technically fly the RNAV (GPS) approach you selected? I didn't think it had any like VNAV path following capability?
Ahh I just found your video on the 530 RNV approach. So is it correct to say that with the 530 the autopilot can do a GPS approach but not a descent?
@chrisloach9658 - that is correct. It can generate a glidepath for an LPV or +V approach, but it will not generate a VNAV glidepath.
The 530 does have a VNAV function - but it basically works as a countdown timer to tell you when to descend, it does not generate any sort of path to follow.
I do not see why you have two GPS systems when they both are linked except for redundancy?
@frysimulation, I think it's just a way to have more data available to you at the same time (e.g. moving map on the 530 with different data fields on the 430 nav page 1.) Seems like an expensive way to do it in the real world - but it makes for a nice avionics stack in MSFS.
It is not just a GPS system, it also is the comms panel, so by having two you can have two comm frequencies and two nav frequencies at the same time.
in any IFR flight, you HAVE to have at least two NAV/COM. I'm a PA30 professional captain from way-back@@AlphaHotelFlightSimulation
User waypoints is simulated?
@SparrowRz, the page is there, but it does not currently appear to be working correctly.
