Product details

Description

The RealSimGear® GNS430 is a high quality, ultra realistic hardware interface for your flight simulator that matches as close as possible to the real thing, including ultra realistic silicone buttons and replica knobs. It is the best way to learn the functionality of the Garmin 430—much more realistic than using the mouse or a touch screen—and is especially helpful for learning and practicing instrument flying procedures.

Product Features

Fully functional knobs and tactile silicone buttons: We have replicated the feel and function of the Garmin 430 knobs and buttons, allowing you to learn how to easily navigate the menu system, load a flight plan, or approach procedures.

Change your comm radio frequencies quickly and easily: No more fumbling with the mouse. The RealSimGear® GNS430 allows for the development of muscle memory and improves proficiency needed for instrument flying.

Make your sim training more effective: And representative of real world flying.

Desktop or panel mount: This product can be mounted in an existing panel or used with our desktop stand. Great for flying students, pilots and home cockpit builders.

Fully assembled: No assembly, 3D printing, soldering etc required.

Highly effective for IFR practice: 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.

FAQs

Is there any assembly required?

No! This product is fully assembled and ready to go. There is nothing for you to buy, 3D print, solder. Each unit is built and tested before shipping.

I don't have a spare HDMI port, will this work?

Yes! You can connect to any available DisplayPort, DVI port or HDMI port. If you want to connect to a DisplayPort or DVI port you can use any DisplayPort or DVI to HDMI adapter to cable. These are readily available from Amazon, BestBuy or any electrical goods store. You will need your own HDMI cable, we do not supply HDMI cables.

Is it difficult to setup?

No! All you have to do is install our plugin and configure the pop out GPS screen to appear on the RealSimGear product. Please note, we do not supply HDMI cables. You will need to source the appropriate cable based on the available ports you have on your computer.

Does this work with Mac?

RealSimGear products will work with Apple computer models using an Intel CPU. If your Mac uses an Apple M Series chip, RealSimGear products will not work with the system. RealSimGear is looking to address this in the future when development and support resources for this are available. Please note, touch screen products (GTN750 and GTN650) are available for Windows only.
