Hey everybody. I was thinking about getting the 1900 but I have a few questions regarding the GNS530. From the pictures, it looks like it has the exact same GPS' as the King Air. From my understanding, you are not able to build a flight plan from scratch using the default GPS in the 1900? So my question is, do I have to buy the GNS530 from RXP, for $50? Is the RXP GPS fully functional?

 

Thanks!

The RXP GPS is fully functional, but it only works in FSX, not P3D..

Thanks Bert, I'm on FSX so that works perfectly!

You can build a FP from the UNS-1L in the 1900.

you can?  as in in flight.. change it on the fly?

Yeah, but its all default Navaids pretty much. Its pretty much the default GPS.

So in ither words.... useless.

Maybe someone could verify .. but I thought I seen in the docs that that the Navdata cycle used in the Carenado B1900D was from 2011 (possibly 2012) to enter your flight plan into the UNS-1L?

 

So, you do not have to use the older default FSX / P3D data.

Have not seen this - different airplane?

Found it, for a P3Dv2 flight their FMS Navdata date:

And here is the code that drives it... draw your own conclusions <_<

 

(E:Local Year, enum) 1 + (>L:FMC_POS_DATABASE_EXPIRES_YEAR)

That is one way to keep the database (date) more current.

Bert, is it only the RXP 530 that works or is there a 430 option too?

Only 530.

Only 530.
