Hello everyone,
I suspect this has been addressed but I'm at my wits end trying to sort through the forums and support documentation. I have two issues which could technically be two separate threads. In any case:
Question 1:
I'm running MSFS 2020 and the Carenado Mooney M20R Ovation. I would like to have the GNSXi run in a standalone window as I have touch screen monitors for my main panel. So essentially, it will simply reside on a touchscreen monitor and I can interact with it nearly identically to the actual unit. However, when I load the M20, the GTN goes into "Gauge Mode". I have tried to pop it out with the R ALT plus LMB technique but it either clicks through the unit and a Garmin 530 window pops up -OR- it appears to open a window but the window remains blank.
When I use the GNS in MSFS default aircraft, I can run the configuration program and create windowed versions of either the 750 or the 650. How do I get this thing to act as a standalone windowed navigator with the Mooney? In other words, I don't want it to run in gauge mode.
Question 2: When operating the GTN with other aircraft as a popout window, it works fine however, when I select NAV mode to GPS and couple it to the autopilot, the autopilot shows engaged, altitude will capture, etc, but when selecting NAV, the autopilot connects to whatever was in the flight plan on the sim nav system, not what I programmed in the GNS. If I link the GNS to the heading bug in the configuration app, this sort of solves it but the hedading algorithm is too slow to respond and doesnt' work like a true GPS nav system. I need to get the autopilot to link to the GPS flight plan and not the FS nav system. Does anyone here have any advice regarding this issue?
Any help or direction to other threads is appreciated.
Dave
