GNS 530/430 update

Recommended Posts

Flight One has released an update, or perhaps a new gauge entirely from the RXP offerings we had.  The GNS 530 was my favorite in FS9, the overall appearance and functionality made it great.  I can't remember if they integrated TCAS or Wx.  I know things were added later.

 

Nevertheless, F1 has added a tool to replace the old GNS's so they work in newer sims.  I am unsure if the older planes I had with the RXP GNS would even play in FSX:SE or not.

 

Anyone looking at these?  I already have the GTN which seems to have a lot more features (TCAS, on screen entry, charts, ect..).  I do think the GNS's look better though (e.g., color, screen display).

 

I guess I hope RealAir will allow integration and newer aircraft come out for these.

The RXP units work (very well)  in FSX-MS,  the Flight1 units are also supported in FSX-SE and P3D.

 

If you are using FSX-MS, there is no reason to switch.

And certainly not at $50 to $60 per gauge...

I upgraded to FSX Steam. I was annoyed with always getting out of memory errors in FSX: Acceleration. But I miss RXP gauges. I only fly the PMDG and FSLabs aircraft now. If I do buy a Flight1 gauge it will be the GTN. The GNS is too expensive and no crossfill.
