Recent purchase off eBay. Another milestone in my mission to rid myself of Flythissim.com avionics...

OMG Ray!  You did it!  So uhm....yeah... what lie did you have to tell to get funding for that?  LOL

[RayS]

SHHHH! You'll blow my cover!

Looks great Ray, care to share some details.
I thought you were going down the GNS530 track.

Cool!

I really wanted to go down the pro-garmin track, but it would also require purchasing a pro key for X-Plane.

Who knows though... If that thunderstorm of dollar bills ever falls from the sky, I may still do it.

For now, it's fun having a genuine GPS-esque system that works directly with X-Plane. All I needed was a USB to COM port converter ($37) Setup was easy and the only configuring I had to do was set X-Plane to output NMEA data on the selected COM port.
