July 21, 20205 yr Wondering if the Garmin GTN 750 will be offered in MSFS 2020 aircraft cockpits? I've found this device to be extraordinarily beneficial to my GA flying! thanks, John Austin, TX
July 21, 20205 yr Would love to use a GTN750 or GTN650 in MSFS. Although I don't know how it can be ported over given the closed sandbox environment. On the other hand MSFS already has many Garmin systems and controls, perhaps someone can code something similar that uses NavBlue. Ramón. Time, is the one thing no one can buy.
July 21, 20205 yr Sadly, there was no mention of the GTN in the Asobo feature series videos. I think they mentioned GNS 430/530. I know the GNS series probably he most widely equipped unit around. Garmin, though, has certainly moved on to the GTN series and beyond at this point. I’m thinking that there is at least a licensing deal in place to use the Garmin name in the sim. I’m wondering if there is an official partnership where Garmin provides avionics expertise to the team as is with MeteoBlue and NavBlue. That would bode well for the functionality in the sim, however I’m not sure that is in place. Chris
July 21, 20205 yr Guessing it will be an addon, which I will gladly purchase. Love me some steam gauges and a GTN750 in my planes.
July 21, 20205 yr They've got enough to worry about with the current GPS units, much less adding another. As of now, all indications are it's the 430/530 or G1000 at launch.
July 21, 20205 yr The unknown is whether RealityXP can offer a Garmin GTN Trainer based addon, as they have with XPlane, FSX/P3D.. Bert

Either way I think that EasyVFR will be a purchase for me. Ryzen 5 5600X - Noctua U12A, 32Gb Vengence, Sapphire Pulse 5700xt, WD Black SN750 NVMe SSD
August 26, 20205 yr Now it's out... any thoughts ? It seems everything runs sandboxed and gauges cannot communicate with the Windows UI. I'm worried this will prevent a GTN gauge talking to the Garmin Trainer running in the background. 🥴🥴🥴 Edited August 26, 20205 yr by Gabe777

September 8, 20205 yr The default MSFS Garmin glass (GNS530/430/G1000nxi/G3000/G5000/G3X) is garbage compared to things we had in the past such as FSX F1 king air/G1000, Reality XP GNS/GTN in FSX/XP11/P3D. It's incredibly annoying considering the waypoints are in the database...but the way you load approaches/STARs/SIDs is all screwed up. You can't direct-to fixes consistently, you can't activate leg, you can't load a new approach and have it work 100% of the time. I was able to load an RNAV(GPS) approach in the G3000 in TBM, and I shot it to LPV mins and the AP did provide vertical guidance once at the FAF. However I then attempted to load the same approach from another IAF (oh by the way you can't select all the IAFs or IFs) it drew a huge half hemisphere on the MFD and neglected to give me vertical guidance the second time around. The default Garmin glass is unreliable. Forget flying online with it. It would probably be fine for offline flight using the flight planner. But you'll still have issues I described above. | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
September 8, 20205 yr I had a chat about 10 days ago with the Flight1 folks that have the yea/nay vote and they were crystal clear that they were going to take a long, hard look at the overall big picture, including the incomplete SDK at the time, and that they were most definitely not interested in entering a race to see who could have their stuff working in MSFS first. We can all make a guess, and I am guessing we will indeed see the GTN and the GNS products available for this flight sim. Sure, it could take way longer than we would like, but, it is a huge market and if the 3rd party devs keep jumping on the train it is to our benefit. Yes, the GTN was my single favorite addon for the last days of FSX and I used it every chance I got in most everything it would fit in, plus as a popup on the ones that it didn't fit cleanly in the panel. Keep the dream alive and let Flight1 know you would like to see the GTN here. Regards, Ray When Pigs Fly . Ray Marshall .
