August 14, 20169 yr I highly doubt that. It's more than that. You have fiddled with the Mindstar units as well right? Then you know the map view of these units is very limited. No class D airspace and all other airspaces only show below a zoom level of 20 NM. And what about roads? There are none in the Mindstar units, while the Flight1 GNS displays them as the Reality XP units do, therefore as the GNS trainer does. I believe the Flight1 GNS will be to Prepar3D what RXP was to FSX. A highly realistic rendition of the real world units. I have no idea how they have accomplished this, as there seems to be no need to install the GNS trainer... On a side note, why have you tried the Mindstar GNS as you seem very happy with the GTN units? I bought the Mindstar units initially last year, and then had all kinds of problems with it finding waypoints that should have been in it's data base. Others had posted similar problems on their forum, and after even updating the Airac, and it still didn't seem to work, I just gave up and bought the GTN, which I should have bought in the first place.
August 14, 20169 yr Nice found Rimshot ! I'm sure, we are several eager to recreate in virtual what we have in real. Most of the time, I fly GNS device and very few GTN. Vincent B. Check my free MSFS sceneries : https://flightsim.to/profile/vbazillio/trending and my hardware configuration.

August 14, 20169 yr Moderator Hi fellas, Have I missed something? Flight1 has GNS units, also for Prepar3D http://www.flight1.com/products.asp?product=f1gns By the look of it they look a lot like the Reality XP units. Is this a new release?

August 14, 20169 yr I would have thought this notice in the upper right hand corner answered your question clearly: Hello Bill That page has been updated to read Comming Soon, previous one don't have that. Even some F1 people didn't know the page was alive.. Ramón. Time, is the one thing no one can buy.
August 14, 20169 yr What the units from (now defunct) RealityXP and Flight1 have in common is that they are FS-specific front ends for the actual Garmin training programs, so the underlying simulation of the Garmin unit is Garmin's own code for the actual device ported to a PC. In contrast, the Mindstar unit was independently programmed by a third party to simulate the Garmin unit. I'd guess that the same techniques used to produce the GTN front-end for the Garmin simulators is also being applied to produce a new FSX/P3D front end for the older GNS units. There's absolutely a market for them because a lot of panels can't fit a GTN750, and lots of r/w planes still use the older GNS units. Anyway, choices are always a good thing, so long as you are making an informed one.

August 14, 20169 yr It is something in development. That is a placeholder page for now. News will be forthcoming as appropriate. The top box is now marked as Coming Soon. I am not party to the development, so I cannot answer much. But if you used the GTN, it is along the lines of that product. Interesting comment in the thread linked in Bert's most recent post above. So if its along the lines of the GTN it may not be a front end for the Garmin Trainer. If that's true I wish Flight 1 would build in a feature into both the GTN and GNS that writes an entered and saved flight plan to file in FSX (or P3D) format so that plan can be loaded into the simulator. The RXP GNS models have that feature.

August 14, 20169 yr Moderator RXP have been totally unsupported for years now. Maybe not "defunct" so much as "abandonware"... Fr. Bill AOPA Member: 07141481 AARP Member: 3209010556 Avsim Board of Directors | Avsim Forums Moderator

August 14, 20169 yr Product Note: The product does not include keyboard/joystick support for buttons/knobs." Well that's a deal-breaker! They are selling a $1200 version iwth the HW.. some of us have the 150$ HW that could be used with this provided the Keyboard joystick support was there.. They deliberately removed it I suspect. Thats pathetic considering Garmin does not charge them for using their Demo version for this product.with a skin scrapper of sorts. I believe they do not.. I could be wrong..maybe Garmin does charge them. Manny Beta tester for SIMStarter
