The RealSimGear® GNS430 is a high quality, ultra realistic hardware interface for your flight simulator. The RealSimGear® GN430 matches as close as possible to the real thing, including ultra realistic silicone buttons and replica knobs.

No more fumbling with the mouse. The RealSimGear ® GN430 allows for the development of muscle memory and improves proficiency needed for instrument flying. -

This product is especially helpful for learning and practicing instrument flying procedures. When coupled with virtual ATC like PilotEdge or VatSIM, this provides the most realistic simulation possible. This allows you to develop familiarity with the Garmin 430 interface and controls so you can be better prepared for actual lessons with your CFII.

United States United StatesChris is the BEST
Chris went ABOVE AND BEYOND in helping me get my Real Sim Rear navigation panel up and running!!! He did a fantastic job and please commend him for his OUTSTANDING customer service!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!
United StatesGreat Support
Nick was great at getting my equipment up and running. He found that one of the issues was a bad cable and he got it replaced. Thanks for the support!
United StatesNot bad. Wish the screen would full size.
Loving it. Wish two of the buttons weren’t fake. Getting the screen to fill from MSFS 2020 is ridiculous. Takes forever. But the hardware is definitely solid. Sturdy. Built well and has a good feel.
United StatesGreat add on
Excellent customer service and cool product for a reasonable price. Allows me to add that little extra to the home sim with a unit I use regularly in real life training. I’m training for IFR so having the actual unit to me is much better than clicking around with a mouse to load my approaches etc. P.S. make sure you use their cords! Save yourself the hassle.
