In the default Cessna it does come with garmin 530 as well as the 430.

They also add G1000 in the other aircraft

Here is link the manuals in what it has.

good getting back into real flying,  Um a rusty pilot so i thought I use the simulator to start practice

 

MSFS is good just for visuals, and people have said X-plane better if you want to really fly

Yes.  You can also add the Reality XP GNS530 for around $40.  It utilizes the actual Garmin GNS Trainer so is considerably more robust and true.  There is a set of Reality XP support forums specific to Xplane here on Avsim.

Surprisingly the XP-11 G530 is quite good.

Just saw in demo mode that I have and I agree good

 

Question is there a way to upgrade the dabase in X-plane so the 530 can use it?  Thinking of Navigraph subscription  or something
