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.  It is the best way to learn the functionality of the Garmin 430, much more realistic than using the mouse or a touch screen. 

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 ® GN430 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

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.

This unit features it's own 3.5" LCD screen that is used to display the Garmin 430 pop out screen from your flight simulator program. 

** This system is NOT compatible with Mac due to driver and screen handling issues with MacOS.  This will require a PC to work.

  • X-Plane 11 or 12 (Windows only NO Mac support)
  • Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 (MSFS)
  • GNS430 Navigator
  • USB cable
  • Power supply adapter

** Note HDMI cables are NOT included, you will need to purchase those separately depending on how you plan to connect the video to your computer.

Great 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!

Not 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.

Great 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.
