January 13, 201511 yr Prepar3D is meant to be a training tool, I want to train to use the Garmin 430 (since I just bought one for my Cessna 182). So far seems to be X plane 10 and FSX offer better options for training with a Garmin 430 than Prepar 3D Really I dont want to go back to FSX or X plane 10. But seems to be the options do far dont work so well in Prepar 3D. What are the best options? I was even considering buying one of this. http://emuteq.com/GNS530.html https://www.flypfc.com/?/products/avionics/pfc-430w-control-interface/
January 13, 201511 yr Garmin has a G430 simulator right on their website that you can download if you're just interested in learning to use the G430. Once you are comfortable then you can jump into using it in the plane.

January 13, 201511 yr Author Yes I know about the Garmin one, but will be more fun to do it in Prepar 3D Actually the Garmin one is for Windows XP operating system only :(
January 13, 201511 yr What? The Garmin trainer runs fine on Win7 | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
January 13, 201511 yr Author What? The Garmin trainer runs fine on Win7 I just downloaded it based on your comment , installed it and doesnt work. Is there a newer version? If so can you post the link?
January 13, 201511 yr I run the 430 trainer on Win7 - because I still use the RXP 430W which reads from the Garmin trainer. Perhaps I misunderstood you - is there another trainer you're trying to run? Anyway have you considered the Mindstar GNS430? I believe it may also work in the A2A Skylane though I'm not positive. | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
January 14, 201511 yr Moderator Doesn't the Mindstar software work on the Emuteq hardware too? It can be made to work, yes. Fr. Bill AOPA Member: 07141481 AARP Member: 3209010556 Avsim Board of Directors | Avsim Forums Moderator
March 24, 201511 yr So, basically in P3D there is nothing like RXP for FSX? We are stuck with default GPS? Tomaz Drnovsek My FSX Videos My AVSIM Gallery
March 24, 201511 yr So, basically in P3D there is nothing like RXP for FSX? We are stuck with default GPS? The Mindstar GNS 430/530 works in P3D. It lacks some of the features of the real deal but is still very functional and the developer is quite active.
