Hello,
I am using two realsimgear G5s running Air Manager G5 premium panels. I also have a GTN650 and 750. I use the default analogue c172.
For some reason, when I use the TDS the GPS course bar on the HSI flickers back and fourth and doesn't work correctly. Also when I set the 650 as NAV2 and the 750 as NAV1 the CDI selector seems to change both of them from GPS to VLOC?
Also for some reason the TDS affects the altitude bug on the G5.
Any suggestions?
Cheers,

Hello,
The default analog C172 has the WT GNS, which is causing a conflict with the TDS GTNXi.
You will have to disable the WT GNS by setting the respective WT GNS disable LVars, do you have this possibility?

The LVars that need to be set to 1 are:
L:XMLVAR_GPS_DISABLED_AS530_1
L:XMLVAR_GPS_DISABLED_AS430_1
This will disable the WT GNS and the autopilot and HSI will function properly.

We will analyze if/what can be done on our end for those not running Spad.next.
In addition you can look into other possibilities on setting Lvars or the panel.cfg modifications.
We will update this thread as it seems like a high interest feature.

OK, for anyone interested, I coded an Air Manager solution that is working for me.
I created a generic switch that sets the LVARS. Here is my code to disable or re-enable the GNS430. Simply change the 430 to 530 as needed. I do hope this helps some folks. Thanks for reading.
function switch_click_callback(position)
if position == 0 then
switch_set_position(switch_id, 1)
fs2020_variable_write("L:XMLVAR_GPS_DISABLED_AS430_1", "Enum", 1)
elseif position == 1 then
switch_set_position(switch_id, 0)
fs2020_variable_write("L:XMLVAR_GPS_DISABLED_AS430_1", "Enum", 0)
end
end
