A lot of us who fly GA aircraft would like to set up our sim cockpits as close as possible to our aircraft.  For me, this means not using a glass cockpit, and having the Garmin GTN750, which I've been using for several years with the current MFS.  Does anyone know if that's possible?  Thanks. 

Not at this time, given that neither Flight 1 or Reality XP have indicated if or when they might bring the GTN series (or the GNS for that matter) into MSFS.

In addition, the stock aircraft are not editable, meaning no changes are possible.

If there is a way, I'm sure they will, really hope they can.
I don't know how they can "communicate" the Garmin Trainer to the FS2020 gauge. (it is not a plugin, but external app)
There is also the NavBlue database issue, it will be updated regularly, our current trainers use "expired" Garmin Databases.

Well the "Garmin Trainer" used as the engine for the in-sim gauge should work in the WASM "sandbox" since it is a executable (,exe) program. What is used in the actual sim's aircraft however is a .dll (a gauge file) and is not allowed to run in the sim.

It will have to be refactored into an executable that will run in the WASM "sandbox" which may not be possible. If it can be done, I'm sure it will be but probably later rather than sooner, IMNSHO... 😏

So I am certainly not removing my FSX-SE or great GA aircrafts or my great RXP GTN and GNS implementations.  Flying over my own home is a nice to have, but there are many more nice to haves already in play.  Aircraft, avionics, interface to other devices supported by real world aviation sites.  Hope that as our aircraft model developers progress that they engineer in support for real world trainer based avionics from all of the respected simulator avionics developers.

I honestly cannot recall any edits I ever attempted to default aircraft in any previous release of a simulator in the past twenty years.  Instead the edits or mods have been applied to addon models who have provide a more open design.  And looking at my flight log of now over 12,000 hours, since FS9 I have not logged any hours in simulator default aircraft.  Actually, not since Pro Pilot, if you can recall that sim.

Default aircraft have been mostly ... throw something out there...  The quality addon models have been labors of love.

Nothing I've read regarding WebAssembly (WASM) allows just any .exe to run in it's sandbox.  It uses .wasm files that are not the same as an .exe file. So, unless ASOBO/MS are creating their own WASM from the bottom up... no, the trainer can not be run inside the sandbox.

You may well be right Ed. I'm just spit-balling here...

...what I know could easily be engraved on the sharp end of a straight pin!

The easiest way to view this is:  "If a web page can do it, the WASM should be able to do it."  So if a web page can NOT do it... neither can WASM.
