RealSimGear GMA350 Audio Panel

A+++++

Very Useful Panel Addition

I currently use two RSG G5's, a GTN650 and the GFC500 . Absolutely love the setup: It mimics the function of my actual panel. I recently started using PilotEdge and discovered that the audio panel in the aircraft would not function correctly when when using two radios. I tried contacting the developer and received no response (typical, you are on your own!). I ordered the RSG GMA350 - it was "plug and play", and it functioned flawlessly. It took longer to unpack than install. If you plan to fly in a simulated ATC environment, the GMA350 is an absolute must have. Changing radios, etc is quick and easy, just like the real thing. I wish I could give the GMA350 10 stars!

Great addition to my home sim

Using the GMA350 brought another level of realism to my flight sim when it comes to ATC comms and radio operation. The setup was super easy (XPLANE12). All I did was to download the plugin from the Real Sim Gear’s website.

Gma 350 not 100% satisfied

Using this item with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 was unuseful, the built in software wasn't working correctly, most of the buttons weren't able to be used, even the rotating knob, so I had to downlod spadneXt in order to make it working. It's hard to adjust, MSFS2020 doesn't recognize it in the settings. Another thing is that the right semi buttons are not working. The lights behind the panel are bad! When you turn on com 1 and turn of com 2, there is still a light illuminating in com 2, because of the bad design inside the panel. I definelity wouldn't recommend such device to be bought for 500 USD. If I knew these things I wouldn't have paid more than 100 USD.

Having a working audio panel in the sim is a must for PilotEdge, and the RSG GMA350 is excellent!!

I had originally purchased the RSG GFC500 since I have one in my aircraft. It worked perfectly so I started to look for other RSG products to up the sim realism. I purchased the GTN650 and found that it took care of many of the communication interface problems that simmers encounter, mainly the stark difference in interface between the real thing and a simulator, but there was still a struggle to get a hold of the mouse and click around the virtual cockpit. Enter the GMA350. I have to admit, that I did not see that much value in an audio panel when I purchased the first two components, but now I would not want to fly without it. The added realism is so much more than I had expected. The buttons and knobs are of the typical RSG high quality and the status LEDs are so incredibly helpful. You can at a glance know if you are transmitting on com 1 or two or if you are listening to the Morse code of the #1 or #2 navaid. If you are an instrument pilot, or want to be one, there is nothing that compares to having a functional audio panel in the sim.
