NAV Data Base update

Recommended Posts

Hello together,

OS: Windows 11
Simulator X-Plane 12 (latest update on 04,10,23)
RealityXP (RXP) Products: GNS530 & GNS430 (latest updates)
Subscriptions: Navigraph (download the latest cycle: 2309)

I`ve bought the 2 HW devices from XPReality (GNS530 & GNS430) and installed it on my systems - Installation successfully done and it works. To check in the plugin Tab for updates: I`m up to date.
I also downloaded the last DB from Navigraph and installed it into the custom Data folder of X-Plane 12 - and with the standard GNS Devices the Nav Data Base is up to date as well, but:

the DB of the RXP devices is old and I don`t get an answer by searching the forums and also by reading the manual.
How can I get the DB of the RXP devices up to date as well.

thanks for an answer in advance.

regards
Martin

The databases for the Garmin Trainer that drives the GNS are a proprietary Garmin database.

It cannot be updated by Navigraph. It would require purchasing a genuine database from Garmin which can be expensive and problematic.

I have a Garmin database subscription for my aircraft. How can I update RealityXP's database with the actual Garmin database?

In the aircraft I just download the database to a card and plug the card to the navigator. Can directly upload that Garmin database to an appropriate X-Plane folder?

How can I do this for the G750 and G650?

Thank you

I would be interested about this issue as well. I haven’t purchased the product yet but looking at doing it. I also own a C182 with a 530W but I use a Jeppeson subscription for updates. I found the Garmin subscription did not include a lot of smaller airports.

the problem I have is i am  siming the Baron 58 in x-plane 12 using a realsimgear 530/430 panel, and using to  Reality_xp to do the approaches and etc. When i turn on the Reality_XP plugin, the Glide slope US indicator comes on and I can't see the glide slope! (LPV approaches) Vloc works fine, but now mater what I try i can't get the GNSS approaches to work. I am hoping that a GPS update to the Garmin trainer file would fix this, but i would need that confirmed it would work before investing in   a GPS update file. so I have an interest in updating the Garmin trainer for sure.
