Problems with Mindstar's GPS 430/530, displays and controls for the A2A Cherokee 180.
Problems
Display: Frequencies and words overlap each other vertically and horizontally on the GPS screen.
Controls: a) The small right knob does not work to change the Page within each of the four Groups. Pushing the center knob does activate the cursor, but unable to enter a destination airport after pressing , whether using either the small knob or keyboard.
b). The Large right knob works and changes the group (Nav, Wpt, Aux, Nrst), but only in a forward direction. I cannot go back; it will stay on Nrst group. The Groups are compressed on the screen (overlapping).
c) When I reduce the throttle rpm to idle (600 rpm) the GPS screen turns black as if it were turned off and reappears above idle speed. This is a minor point.
• I tried stretching the GPS window vertically and horizontally, this did not change the overlapping words and numbers on the screen.
• MS FSX was activated with "Run As Administrator" and without—no change.
• Although I've used MS FSX for almost two years, I'm new to your forum terminology. I've read everything pertaining to the 430/530 none of which appears applicable to my problems. If I need to change any cfg files, I will need specifics (I have never modified a file before). I have no issues with A2A Cherokee 180, everything interfaces correctly with my Saitek hardware.
• MS FSX settings are basically at default level, however Filtering is set to Anisotropic.
Resolution: 1920 x 1080 x 32
• I'm familiar with both GPSs; they are in the airplanes I fly.
Any help would be appreciated.
