Flight1 GNS 530: CDI button controls carb heat??

Post by Syzygy »

Very strange bug here -- when flying the Comanche 250 with the Flight1 GNS 530 installed, pressing the CDI key (toggles between GPS and VLOC) actually resets the carb heat! It does nothing to the HSI.

Prepar3D v4.4, GNS Complete v2.03, AccuSim Comanche 18.12.31.0

Syzygy,

It's possible this could be related to an issue with click spots which was introduced with v4.4 of P3D.

Are you using your mouse to drag the carb heat lever, and then with the next mouse click pressing the CDI key on the GNS 530 bezel?

What happens with successive mouse click on the CDI key?

Thanks,
Nick

I think it is a click spot issue because

a) it happens regardless of whether the G530 is powered on or not
b) it only happens when I drag the carb heat open with the mouse, not when I roll it open with the mousewheel

BUT, I don't know why it only happens with the carb heat lever. I tried it with the cabin vent and it worked fine.
