January 17, 201313 yr Moderator I spent hours last night watching tutorial videos about using the Garmin 430/530. Bill is right on the mark about us not knowing beans about the capabilities. AVweb has several well done short training videos that I like. Ray, my comment actually was that the vast majority don't even know the capabilities of the default FS9/FSX G500 and/or G295! They actually do have a tremendous amount of functionality... In fact, they have about 85% of the functionality of the Garmin Trainer. B) Fr.

I was referrring to the users not knowing the capabilites of the units, not the units themselves. Ray When Pigs Fly . Ray Marshall .

The sad truth about the default GPS units included with FS9/X is that all too many folks assume that since they are defaults from MS/ACES, they must be "crappy" which is frankly far from the truth! :lol: Fr.

It had a great manual on the GPS included along with all the instrument manuals. Ray When Pigs Fly . Ray Marshall .
January 17, 201313 yr Moderator The irony is that much of the content of that manual came nearly verbatim from the one provided by MS/ACES in the Learning Center... You know, the place few folks ever bother to look! :rolleyes: Fr. Bill AOPA Member: 07141481 AARP Member: 3209010556 Avsim Board of Directors | Avsim Forums Moderator
