First things first, have you selected the proper source in the instrument properties? It should be set to HSI
Second, it should be run on AM 4.0 beta for the plugin to run with MSFS.
I had a look at my instrument code, and it was developped on AMv2.3 at a time where MSFS didn't even existed, so there was no MSFS2020 subscribe functions for this.
I don't know if this AM4.0 beta version can use still fsx_variable_subscribe() for MSFS or if it is now mandatory to use fs2020_variable_subscribe() instead (@Ralph ?)
In the latter case, i would probably have to modify the code to add MSFS subscriptions, provided that the MSFS variables are still the same as FSX/P3D ones.
So a version 1.40 is probably required, then it's up to Ralph to publish it on the store.

Re: *** FIXED sort of*** HSI GS help FS2020 with GSN530
It is already converted to FS2020 as far as I know. FS2020 requires fs2020_variable_subscribe, but the variables are generally the same. Not all of them though...
Re: *** FIXED sort of*** HSI GS help FS2020 with GSN530
Ralph is correct this instrument has been converted to FS2020 and has the FS2020 subscribes and commands.JackZ wrote: ↑Wed Feb 03, 2021 10:59 pm First things first, have you selected the proper source in the instrument properties? It should be set to HSI

When you download the gauge from AM 4.0 you get one that the Logic.lua file has a rev 1.35 in it. This version the Glide Slope would not work for me at all. I tried all the different setting NAV1, NAV2 and HSI. I tried this with both of my NAV radios tuned to the same ILS approach and none of these options worked. I had 2 CDI indicators on the panel, one connected to NAV1 and the other to NAV2 and they both worked correctly.
I posted on a thread over at flightsimulator.com about having a mooney panel complete except the glide slope and someone replied it worked on his panel so I had him export the gauge and send it to me. His Logic.lua file was a REV 1.2 and it worked great right away with no Glide Slope issues. I did a compare of the logic files and there are a couple differences. I just have not had time to figure out which one is the one that fixes it. I plan on doing that. Here are the 2 files if you want to compare them.
Please let me know if it is not ok to include these files and I will remove them right away.

Hi,
A very quick look reveals that some of the variable subscribes have been commented out.
Perhaps that is a good starting place.

If you look at the ones that have been commented out they have been replaced right below that with at least 1 change.Keith Baxter wrote: ↑Thu Feb 04, 2021 3:59 pm Hi,

Re: *** FIXED sort of*** HSI GS help FS2020 with GSN530
Okay try this version, and report please.
The FSX and XPlane behavior are reversed, so the failure flag was always set in FSX, and as a consequence, the GS needle was set to park .
Hopefully that should solve the problem. Jacques

Re: *** FIXED sort of*** HSI GS help FS2020 with GSN530
I downloaded that file and tried it. Remember I'm using FS2020. The change did not fix the glide slope in FS2020.
I did make sure I was on HSI and I made sure I had the changed file in place after renaming it. The file still says REV 1.35 inside it but I did make sure they was a change in it.
Re: *** FIXED sort of*** HSI GS help FS2020 with GSN530
Okay that was a shot in the dark.
It will take some time to figure out what's going on, let me a couple of days.

Re: *** FIXED sort of*** HSI GS help FS2020 with GSN530
Thanks for taking a look and no rush as I have a working version with the 1.2 file. Just be nice to get the current download version fixed.
I may do some more looking tomorrow at the 2 files and see what I can fine.
Re: *** FIXED sort of*** HSI GS help FS2020 with GSN530
Under --GS Bugs around line 196, here is a simple fix to the GS indicators not showing in ILS approach.
change the first line
if glideslopeflag == 1 -- GS signal not received
to
if glideslopeflag == 1 and gbl_target_hdef == 0 then -- GS signal not received
