The idea that you want to train the latest real procedures does not come to their mind.Īnother example they have a G1000 simulator but you can not use it with a real throttle/yoke, meaning you can not train on using the FD. Their idea is it is just a procedure/interface training tool.

They even do not offer a cheap subscription for it. But for real life simulations it is indeed not good enough.

Luckily they update the GTN simulation database roughly once a year. Garmin is very bad in computer simulation support of their products. In conclusion, I really like the Garmin 750, I wish Garmin could work it out with the flight sim community. I hope with X-Plane 12, they will bring this feature into X-Plane. The upside is you can update the database every 28 days, through Navigraph. I have noticed that on the MSFS 2020 sim they have the Garmin 3000 that has alot of the great features that the GTN 750 has.

Plus with Simbrief I can have my flight plan automatically programmed into the GPS. My database to GPS is updated monthly and no issues. With Navigraph charts I can bring up the airport I am on, click the arrow and see my location and use that to use taxiways, then depending on whether I an VFR or IFR I can have it flight follow with all the charts I need at my disposal have the charts right their to use. I have 2 monitors, one for the sim and the other for anything else I want like weather program, VA site, Simbrief, and Navigraph charts. I came to my own conclusion that Navigraph with all the bells and whistles was my best bet for now. Also, if you have a Carenado the installation was flawless, when I loaded the GTN in I could use it right away. I do like the ease of use after getting use to the Garmin 530, the features they offer is above and beyond with tools that makes the pilots work load much easier. Plus if you do on-line ATC like VATSIM, you will have to plug in each waypoint of the STAR or SID you are using being aware the name may have been changed like a 'Monkey5 maybe a Monkey6' with a waypoint different, this comes into play when they change your flight due to winds and give you a different approach procedures where you could just enter Monkey6 and the computer automatically makes the changes. SIDs or STARS can be changed to noise complaints, construction, and other factors. An approach can be be changed due to the Runway designation has been changes from RWY 05 to 06 due to the magnetic changes. As a RL Commercial Pilot I know that every 28/56 days data is constantly being verified and updated. You will see comments from some saying 'it is no big deal they do not change that much,' but that is not quite so. You cannot convert Navigraph database to work with the Garmin, and the cost ( ) is something that I do not want to pay. The work around is you need to use another source like Simbrief and then plug each waypoint in verifying that the GTN has it. I scoured the internet looking for a solution and found their is no viable solution. The version I downloaded with my product is almost 1 year old. If you are anal like myself and you strive for realism of a sim as much as possible this product is pretty much on the mark for that check box 'except' the database. The GTN 750 is a very involved flight tool that in real life I recommend, but after 2 days of playing with it on X-Plane I came to some realizations that I would like to share. The purchase after a few hiccups (involving the discount) was smooth and not complicated. This weekend I purchased the Reality XP GTN 750 (Garmin) (price was great!) and installed into X-Plane 11. There are one or two ways to update the training software, with one being a subscription with Garmin themselves but for anyone that doesn't have a real unit, that option is way too expensive.I really like this product, but here are my observations. 14 out of 15 times, there won't be any significant changes. The key is checking routes with current charts and current Instrument plates (like with skyvector). But it helps to know that as that data gets older, the less it will reflect what PE controllers use, still not a big deal IMO. I personally feel that that is ok for PE.

But it is true that Navigraph will not update the GTN (or the GNS for that matter) the training software gets updated about once a year. If your focus is only on simulation for entertainment then. If you are wanting to get the 750 to learn it, because RealityXP uses the actual Garmin Training software, it will be very true to the real unit. I used FSX on the network for a several years, and only about two years with nav data that was from the current decade (purchased the Reality 430 for FSX due to a RL airplane I was getting checked out in having one) My opinion is the opposite as long as you are aware that there may/will be issues to work around.

A lot of people here will say that it's a no/go to use out of date data on the network.
