Looks like a really interesting gauge and you sure can't beat the price!Linky:http://www.simflyer.net/shop/gns480.html:)

As far as I can tell (e.g. I just viewed the short video provided on Simflyer's site) this is yet another repackaged version of the default FS9 GPS - i.e. it looks like a GNS480 at first glance but does not walk, talk, or bark like the real unit - in contrast with the RealityXP products which use Garmin's own GNS430/530 simulator as a starting point, and therefore operate much more like the real units.Perhaps my expectations have been set too high by RXP's Garmin emulators, but I am still waiting on a GNS480 add-on to FS9 that I would pay *any* amount of $ for. (And when someone can figure out how to use Garmin's GNS480 simulator to do this well, I'll be one of the first folks in line to buy it.)If I'm wrong about the accuracy of the emulation, I would welcome being set straight about it and be pleasantly surprised about it... But the actual screens I saw seem to be the same as what you'd get with the "GPS500" in FS9, and I'd bet one of my wisdom teeth that this product is not WAAS GPS approach-capable.Oh wait, I had all of my wisdom teeth pulled in the 70s... But you get my drift 8^) .Dave Blevins

Yeah I have seen the video too. Seems you are right.Also , on the SimFlyer Website they state :"The SimFlyer

Does this unit have VNAV/LNAV capability + the ability to amend waypoints on screen? That is what a true FMC does and the FS9 GPS does not. Also can it be programmed for speed control? If not is there a good alternative available?Shez

Haven't tried it out yet but would expect that a good job was done on the Simflyer unit.Recent developments have caused us to take a fresh look at the default Garmin 500 and must say we were pleasantly surprised at the features and data available in the default FS9 gps.Repackaging, based on the default FS9 GPS is not a bad solution if done well, and this one seems to be done well.We all must use these things in the simulator environment so any unit using the sim data base may be a good choice.

Ron,There are many, many unused variables in the FS9 GPS system, including VNAV.. Probably enough to do a FMC/FMS. Some of these although, have no function as of yet. Just a teaser, most likely, for FS10.. Regards,Roman
