Avidyne instruments?

[jlund]

Are there any aircrafts, default or payware, which is equipped with Avidyne instruments instead of Garmins?

[TangoSierraMike]

Not that I've found yet. All of my a/c are either equipped with Garmin or steam gauges

It would be nice to see Avidyne, Dynon, Aspen...However, Garmin dominate MSFS as of right now

Funny you should bring this up as I've been pondering the same thing.  Several prominent (or formerly prominent) GA YouTuber's have gone Avidyne over Garmin and it would be fun to see that show up in the sim as well.  One thing that may hold it back is that, unlike Garmin, Avidyne have never done a PC based trainer.  They do have an external trainer, but it's iPad only.

In then end, I expect it's a numbers game and Avidyne just doesn't have the numbers appeal of Garmin.

Fully agree.  Sad we mostly lost "310 Pilot" videos.

Maybe we will be more lucky in MSFS 2024.

It's not numbers. The Garmin G1000 and G3000 are already done to a high standard by WT and usable by all developers without charge. To code an entirely new avionic suite in WASM would be more work than the entire rest of the aircraft, it'd be akin to developing an airliner from the ground up.

We're getting Honeywell, but I agree I'd like to see more variety in the GA aircraft. I'd love a Dynon Skyview HDX in the sim.

The Pilatus PC-12 NG in MSFS ‘24 will be equipped with the 'Honeywell Primus Apex' avionics suite developed by Working Title, which is great news in that regard. Who knows what else they'll have in stock that we don't know about yet.
