June 30, 20241 yr I regret ever hearing or seeing the name "reality-xp" My view is that this is a fraudulent product. It appears to use its own data base that is years out of date that makes it totally useless for simulator. Then its next to impossible to remove. It keeps popping up even when its files are removed, You constantly have to go to plug ins and turn it off. Then there is their smart word not allowed refund fine print that means their refunds have more hurdles before they are issued. While it apparently does give your GPS more pages its out of date I never did get it working and I'm told that everyone scraps it because its nav data base is very old and you can' use charts issued in the last few years.
June 30, 20241 yr I successfully use the GTN750 from Reality XP. A new version 2.6.2 was released last week. Of course, it is important to find out beforehand what basis the various navigation systems are based on, namely the Garmin Trainer and it is not advertised anywhere that you can update to the current AIRAC. RealityXP's homepage has a link to the community forum where you can read all the information. The topic of AIRAC updates is also discussed here. I mainly use the GTN 750 in GA helicopters. The AIRAC is not the problem here. Talking about fraud here is more of a sign that you are looking for a scapegoat for your own actions.

Just for some balance - It uses a genuine Garmin database which when it initially released was the only way to build an accurate Garmin GTN/GNS. David Porrett
July 1, 20241 yr Theoretically you can update it to current database, but probably only a few people would pay the real aviation level of money for a simulator product then.... I'm totally fine with GTN750 in a helicopter with VFR SAR mission, input the HRM coordinate and setup a SAR pattern with few clicks, totally money well spend IMO.
