Perhaps the Garmin sim would run under XP under VMware? It might be worth it. I don't disagree with your view on win7 in an academic sense but if you measure it according to productivity, and lack of driver hassles with what M$ call 'legacy' hardware, then win7 scores pretty badly right now unless you are prepared to throw away all your hardware, and buy all your software all-new and with a great deal of due diligence. Unix is more reliable, etc, and we have two machines at work running FreeBSD whose uptime is probably years, but they only run one or two apps. They run a huge range of apps, some common, some highly specialised, dating from early 1990s all the way through present time. I also have 2 Thinkpad laptops, 2 PCs at home, 2 PCs at work, all running XP and all of them work and do what they are supposed to do. My GF has a win7 PC which works with the bog standard stuff and which gives trouble in every other department. I have a pile of productive (and expensive) software which doesn't run under win7.

If the apps I need for my work all run under Windows for Workgroups 3.11 (and for some years that was true they wouldn't run under NT) then so be it. This stable stand made out of steel has an anti-slip base and ensures you can operate your hardware properly.SDB73 - an O/S is just there to run apps. If you do not install the GNS in a cockpit panel, we recommend you order a desktop stand. After installation and configuration, you are ready to use the GNS 430. Unlike many other GPS systems, the RealSimGear is ready-to-use, meaning you can directly connect the hardware to your computer’s USB port. Connect, install, configure, and fly away Training has been proven to be more effective by using the hardware instead of a keyboard and mouse. Just like RealSimGear’s GNS530, the GNS430 is used as a training device by aviation schools, so that students can become familiar with the operation of the Garmin430 without having to sit in an aircraft.

You do not need any additional software for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and X-Plane 11. Besides, you can switch COM and NAV frequencies fast and easily.Īdditional software from Reality XP or Mindstar Aviation simulating the operation of GNS in your flight simulator is required if you want to use the FSX (Steam Edition) or P3D.

The rubber rotary push buttons and its 3.5-inch (8.9 cm) LCD display provide a realistic experience while setting up your flight plan, or entering your SID or STAR. This system is designed specifically to use with Microsoft FSX, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, Prepar3D, and X-Plane 11, and it is not a replica of the Garmin 430 which is often seen in small aviation.
