Aussieflyer38 Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 As some of you are aware, I recently purchased the Cessna 414 Chancellor, and today I have a problem, regardless of what/how I do procedures, I can't get any of the Garmins to work. Battery - on, Avionics Master - on still nothing. I went Youtubing for a fix, wouldn't be the first time I missed something, but these guys just flick the Avionics Master on and bingo it all powers up, so not sure if to file a support ticket or not. Thanks for all help. Don 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulb Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Have you tried the PMS 50 GTN750 Don? I have it in my four main GA aircraft. It's available free from their site or payware with full functionality. I went freeware for a couple of weeks. Liked it and bought it . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the GTN750 fitted to the 414 by FSW cannot be activated? One has to purchase/obtain it from PMS 50. If that's the case, it would help if they told you this. I would have assumed they would have at least included the freeware version. I had a look at the freeware version, and like you, I will probably give it a go and if it's what I want, buy the full version. Thanks for the input and info. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just haven't tried it. I was simply sharing that I had put the PMS 50 into my 414AW. I liked the GTN750 from my P3D days and purchased one from Flight1 I think. I wanted something similar in MSFS that I could use consistently in different aircraft. This one from PMS seems to fit the bill . So, I have installed it in the 414, 310R, Turbo Arrow and PA34T. My next decision will be whether to subscribe to Navigraph! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniper31 Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Hey guys, the FSW C414 has several options when it comes to GPS and GTN. Besides the PMS GTN, it will also fit TDS GTN. Each one of those is good, they both have nice options, so I suggest you look at both (if you don't have either one yet) and then decide which one works better for you. The TDS GTN will also fit all of those aircraft that Paul mentioned. Also Don, the C414 product page does mention, in bold letters, that BOTH the PMS or TDS GTN options require you to own either or both of those in addition to the aircraft. Don't feel bad though, I know it can be frustrating when we miss details like that and it leads us to have to decide on making an additional purchase. It happens to the best of us I would link it here for you, but since that is not an Orbx partner, I don't want o push the envelope too much on this discussion 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
