Reality XP should work with both, right? Flight1 is said to work with the A2A C172. Will it also work with the Alabeo DA40?

The RXP and Flight1 GNS gauges are basically interchangeable.  However, the DA40 may need some work to replace the existing GPS.. no support is listed for a 3rd party gauge that I can see..

Having said that, I cannot think of one good reason for buying the Flight1 GNS.. the RXP is the clear favorite

I have always shown better performance with the F1 than the RXP on my system. I own both.

That I find hard to believe... sorry.. 🤔

Thanks Gentlemen,

it seems the RTX has a slight edge over the F1.

@ Bert, the Alabeo DA40 supports the RXP GNS430, although the alabeo-homepage doesn't clearly state this (anymore?).

I just tried to purchase the RXP GNS 430. Does anyone understand why the strange 1996-era e-commerce installer requires me to create an account at flight1.com? Is there an alternative way to purchase the RXP? - Didn't find anything.

Thanks,

 Frank

I run it on a laptop maybe that's why? The rxp gives me tearing and stutters, the F1 is smooth albeit sometimes on rare occasion it freezes up but usually turning avionics off/on solves it.

I think it's because Flight1 no longer supports the Flight1 wrapper or Serial Keys (which i find weird since other 3rd party companies like RXP still use the Flight1 wrapper), rather Flight1 became like ORBX where you buy products on an account and so you can manage your product through the Flight1 Agent. Things like installing/resetting activations and updating are done through the Flight1 Agent, without having to redownload the wrapper, then put in your .key file and password, then redownloading the installer.

RXP still uses the Flight1 ecommerce wrapper.... Just do whatever is asked from you and install in the default location.

Send me a PM if you would like newer navdata for your 430.. 😉
