With FSX still almost a year away SimFlyer® will be the first third-party avionics add-on to be FSX ready, so please stay tuned for more news.
Garmin is fully committed to your satisfaction as a customer. SeptemSimFlyer releases the GNS Series of add-on gauges for the soon to be released Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004. This free six minute training video shows you how to setup and configure the Garmin 430/530 for VFR and IFR flight. If you have any questions regarding the 400W-series, please contact our customer service department at: Garmin International, Inc. Unfortunately Garmin bought the innovation that was UPS AT and killed it, hence the product is going nowhere now, but many of the good features from it have made it to the GTN range - such as the ability to define the flight plan by airway rather than plugging in each waypoint, make a hold at any fix or point in space, and a lot lot more.The full 45min version of this video cont. Most people who have worked both for some time refer to a 480 as a 'GA FMS' - it's also a lot more capable than a 430, so the user interface has a lot more functionality to cope with, and still does it better than a 430 (Despite that the 480 came out (as a CNX80) in 2003 and was WAAS out of the box, something the 430 took another 9 years to do, and still doesn't do it as well) However, if you consider what you want to actually *do* and what would be a logical way of doing it, then it is streets ahead.
If you try and drive a 480 like you drive a 430, yes, you are going to find it very difficult and probably start cursing. If you think it's difficult, don't go anywhere near a GNS480 - a veritable nightmare!
