TAWS provides audio and visual warnings on screen to alert the flight crew of upcoming terrain threats. TAWS-B (terrain awareness warning system) is another feature that comes with Reality XP. The AUX page is something that is completely missing from the default X-Plane 11 GNS system. The AUX page is such a game-changer for real pilots as you have access to flight timers, Schedule reminders, checklists, RAIM/WAAS functions and an assortment of other flight planning features. You can still perform the basic tasks like load procedures, waypoints, and airports but is missing a lot of symbology and features that you would find in the real aircraft.Ī little known feature in the actual GNS system is the AUX page. Follow along below where we will point out the differences between the X-Plane system and the Reality-XP system.Ībove you will see the default X-Plane 11 Nav screen which is a very basic and rudimentary representation of the actual Garmin system. This is because I am able to sit down and learn the system inside and out. It was just the other day when I was out with my instructor who almost has 1500 hours and I showed him a trick that he had never seen before. For the cost of 1 flight lesson, you get to learn your GPS system inside and out. ![]() Using Reality-XP with RealSimGear products is one of the easiest ways to save money during your flight training. Proficiency With The GNS530įlight training is expensive and nothing is a bigger waste of money than paying a Hobbs meter and an instructor to learn how to use one of the world's most popular GPS systems. What Reality-XP has brought to the table is an affordable way to have the actual Garmin software inside the simulator, this allows you to see and use all of the sub-menus and functionality of the real device instead of the simplified version included with X-Plane 11. Almost three-fourths of all US single/twin-engine aircraft have been outfitted with some type of Garmin avionics. P3D and Xplane offer a lot more in terms of add-on capability and various simulation aspects, Msfs2020 is an immature/incomplete platform yet.In just a few decades Garmin has become the #1 choice for avionics in the general aviation industry. Where we stand right now, however, is exactly as you said. I guess, for absolute comparisons it’s too early to draw conclusions what msfs2020 will be able to, or wont be able to do in the future. He said that he needs to look at that as well and what the possibilities are. Interestingly enough, Jörg mentioned something about being approached by real world flight instructors asking him to make fs2020 usable for flight training. P3D is the only commercial simulator, without an entertainment offering, and is used by many flight schools. Out of the box, Xplane isn’t FAA certified and just as much an entertainment product as FSX was. And all this means, is that it can be used for official procedure training, it says nothing about the flight characteristics or physics. The training Xplane version is 500 dollars + though, and can only be certified together with specific hardware as a package. It can’t be used for the things Pilot Workshops uses X-Plane 11 for. MS and Asobo have done exactly that, and they have done a wonderful job at it! Keep in mind nowadays many game developers call their products ‘simulators’ but what they actually develop and sell is a game. Similarly, MSFS 2020 simulates ‘flight’ and ‘aviation’ in a video-gamey, entertainment way (just like Goat and Surgery Simulator 2013) while X-Plane 11 does it in a highly accurate and professional way to the extent that you can buy the professional version of X-Plane 11 tomorrow, buy the required hardware and get it FAA-approved for flight training. Surgery Simulator 2013 doesn’t simulate surgery like Forsslund System’s Kobra Oral surgery simulator does. The publisher calls and sells it as a ‘simulator’ without revealing more details but decided to leave its functionalities at ‘entertainment’ and ‘video-game’ level just like Goat and Surgery Simulator’s publishers did. MSFS 2020 is like a Goat Simulator or Surgery Simulator 2013. ![]() Work that often involves multiple companies software and hardware working on top of a platform to delivery bespoke solutions. ![]() that’s ok for consumer products but MSFS as it stands is just wholly unsuited to a sim platform used for training and simulation work. It’s more a game than a platform, you can’t have custom programming, very limited SDK etc.
