P3D V5.1 Typical Flight1 Update Time GTN

[zdsweet 2]

Hey folks,

I sincerely apologize if I'm hitting a nerve asking this (I'm not sure if it's an over asked question or not with every P3D update), but I just reinstalled all of my P3D stuff and went ahead and went into 5.1 right off the bat (been out of simming since last February or so). 

I realized quickly thereafter I should have realized this update happened very recently and as such, most third party devs haven't completed updates for the new version of 5.1.

I'm a furloughed pilot due to COVID and used the GTN series from Flight1 to stay instrument current/proficient in Vatsim. Upon my initial launching in 5.1 in the Carenado Ovation today with the GTN, I got the message that my Flight1 software isn't compatible with the new version of PREPAR3D quite yet.

What is everyone's experience with devs such as Flight1 and other's lag times from a new release from Lockheed to a release on the 3rd party's end for an update to the new version? I'm excited to get back into some GTN flying in the new version.

Thanks!

As far as I can tell most devs seemed to get updates out very fast, including FS Labs. The RXP GTN was updated within a day 😉

Oh shoot! I own the RXP GTN so may use that for now until the Flight1 comes out. I tend to go with the Flight1 for the VC panel ability with the Carenado line up. I generally fly the single engine pistons IFR (Mooney mainly) for currency. Thanks for the response!

You know RXP can integrate seamlessly into panels designed for the F1 GTN?

I did not, no! That's awesome. Just dug through the forum a bit and found the how-to video. Got her all set. Thank you!

I have both, but use RXP exclusively now. They are on it when it comes down to the updates.

Any hints to where this video was found? I tried finding it with no luck. I would jump to the RXP version if I knew how to get it working.

Never mind, bought it anyway.

I am trying to cut back on my spending on flightsim products but it looks like I may have to switch to RXP. All the other utilities I use has been brought up date but nothing from Flight1....

I have the Flight1 GTN Complete V2.22, and it's not working with 5.1HF1, can anyone confirm this? Thanks

[pilatuz 141]

Works fine for me. Make sure to run the update tool.

[d.tsakiris 417]

Ok, interesting. I'll run that tool. Which GTN version are you on?

It is my humble opinion and until someone shows me otherwise that the F1 GTN first of all does not officially support the latest garmin trainer and are not updating it so I have no choice but to view the F1 GTN as abandon ware. While the RXP officially supports and updates to the latest garmin trainer.

Again just my opinion take it or leave it.
