March 3, 20242 yr I'm scoping out their GNS 530 ($280 + $40 stand), and their G1000 ($650 = $75 stand). I wonder if anybody has used them here, and cares to comment? https://flightsimbuilder.com/collections/all MSFS Planes that use the GNS 530 (and some newer planes also?): Beechcraft Bonanza Carenado Beechcraft Staggerwing Carenado Beechcraft 99 Virtualcol BN2 Islander BlackboxSim Cessna 172 Skylark (steamgauge) Asobo Cessna Caravan 204B BlackSquare Cessna 310R Milviz Daher TBM850 BlackSquare Grumann G44A Widgen Flysimware MItsubishi MU2 Inibuilds Mooney M20 Carenado Pilatus P6 Porter Asobo Piper Comanche A2A Piper Seminole Carenado Piper Seneca Carenado Piper Warrior II Justflight Piper Arrow III Justflight Piper Turbo Arrow IV Justflight Robin Cap10 Asobo Trinidad TB Lionheart ------------------------------------------ G1000 Beechcraft Baron Asobo Beechcraft Bonanza Asobo Beechcraft model 99 Virtualcool Cessna 172 G1000 Asobo Cessna Gran Caravan 208B Asobo Cessna 182T Skylane Caranado Cirrus SR22 Asobo Daher Kodiak 100 Simworks Diamond DA40 Asobo Diamond DA62 Asobo Pilatus P6 Porter Asobo Piper M500 FSREBORN 5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel.

March 3, 20242 yr I have FlightSimBuilder's full G1000 hardware set of PFD, MFD and Audio panel and also use the increased functionality of Mobiflight to help map some buttons for G3000 equipped aircraft as well. If fact I've even mapped some functions using the FSB hardware while flying the PMDG 737. I love the hardware, seems of very good build quality and have readjusted my cockpit view height so that the top of the aircraft dash sits just above the physical hardware of FSB so that on my 43" monitor the display is mostly that looking out the cockpit. There is also a Facebook group for support on top of direct contact with the devs.

March 18, 20242 yr I have the FSB GNS 530 and a single G1000 unit set to use a MFD, at near half the cost of alternative models I am pleased to have made that choice. I also purchased the Altimeter Motives C172 panel and after using it this week have decided to order the right side panel to complete it for a radio stack. I like the VESA mounting option as it allows simple change out of equipment for a different simulator and gear setup. Definitely would repurchase either product again if needed. Gary Stewart
