Power Up GPS

[forland]

I'm able to install the a GPS units on the Bonanza V-tail and the C172R but I'm not able to power up the GPS on either aircraft in P3D. They are powered up in FSX. What do I need to do?

Hello forland - welcome to the forums.

Please can you let us know which GPS units you're having trouble with. Is it the default GPS or add-on GPS units by either Flight1 or RealityXP?

Thanks,
Nick

The default unit is powered up but the Realtyxp and Flight1 are not.

Just to clarify a bit forland, the RealityXP and Flight1 options are provided for customers who have purchased these third party add-ons separately.

Garmin GTN

Garmin GNS

I'm not sure if you have old copies of RealityXP and/or Flight1 software that are only compatible with FSX, or perhaps there's a misunderstanding and you only have the default GPS units working in FSX?

If you have purchased any third party GPS add-ons, please let us know exactly which one(s). If you haven't, then this is necessary to power up and use these units.

Thanks,
Nick

I understand the problem now. I have not purchase the optional GPS units, I thought they where part of the Bonanza package since they were in the Aircraft Configurator. The C172 only has the default GPS. Thanks for your time.

You're very welcome. Without any third-party GPS add-ons installed, you still have the choice of the default panel-mounted GNS 400 or the window mounted GPSMAP 295 option. You can swap between these two (or a 'no GPS' at all option) using the Shift 3 menu.

Thanks,
Nick
