Flight1 GNS 430/530 released

Featured Replies

A thought....when the PMDG dc6 becomes available for p3d it apparently has a garmin 400. Be nice if the 430 would work in there.

:sad: the price is too high.

 

Compared to this, is the FSLabs A320 for 90$ too high?  :Tounge:

Agreed. For $90.00 any add on needs to contain unique and unequaled innovation and for the price fit multiple platforms.

it will take time to see more and more acft equipped with GTN units

 

This is true. As an owner of a real 750/650 setup, you would really have to have a need to replace a 530/430 due to the cost of the GTN's - unless you had deep pockets! The GNS units will be around for a long time in the real world.

I think Flight1 is one of the premier outfits in the flightsim industry with great solid products and outstanding support.   B)

 

Hi Bert,

 

That was exactly my view until a few years ago. I don't mind to pay for quality, but I do mind to pay for things twice/triple.

But let's not discuss this any further.

System: AMD 7800X3D - Gigabyte X670 - RTX 4090 - 64GB DDR5 - 2 x 2TB SSD - 32" 1440p Display - Windows 11 Pro

I've been in a R44 and C172 with a GTN 750 and 650, respectively

It's still pretty new of a unit guys - the GNS units were hugely popular and still are - it will take time to see more and more acft equipped with GTN units

I ordered one GTN 750 a few weeks ago to fit in my Cherokee. The used GNS on the market are still very expensive as there are so many operators that purchase any unit available as spare parts for their fleets. You pay more for a GTN but its a long term investment in a plane.

P3D when its freezing in Quebec....well, that's most of the time...
C-GDXL based at CYQB for real flying when its warming up...

Of course, they are not working! The point is that one can use the RXP VC integration for the Flight1 GNS. The "problem" with A2A is that they have removed the RXP VC integration for the P3D version of their addons. But older addons like the mentioned L-39 have RXP models that can be used for the Flight1 GNS in P3D.

 

Still, in the panel folder of my Prepar3D A2A aircraft there are panel.cfg files configured for RXP. So it might work to manually replace the RXP entries with the new Flight1 GNS entries.

Cheers, Bert

Curious, what do these units cost in the real world?

Would that be for GTN 750 and/or 650, or

GNS 430 and/or 530.

 

As a pure sim pilot I have no clue, though I suspect all are pricy.  And thx, for the info

 

That is for one GTN 750.

Bert

That is for one GTN 750.

 

That is correct. 

Installation cost can be high as well. Especially if GTN 750 retrofitted in older airplane. This will include complete rewiring + new audio panel and CDI

Meh - that's the cost of legality

 

Flying real world with a GPS - they could be liable if something went wrong

 

Anyway how is it guys? Same concept as the RXP?

I figure you would have jumped on this. Or are you the GTN type of guy? Saving up my money this and next month for AS2016 and FSLabs for P3D. I will buy the GNS package as a holiday present for myself by the end of the year.
