Hi everyone
Im looking to add a GPS to my aim, mostly for my A2A aircraft (and the aerosoft DHC-6).
Can anyone advise whether the Reality XP or F1 GTN 750 is better? I'm particularly interested in:
- ease of installation and integration
- stability (can't stand CTD!)
- Quality
And, is it possible to update their AIRAC cycle?
Cheers!

I have been using the Flight 1 GTN 750 and 650 for years. Installation is a snap, they work great, with zero problems.

I prefer the rxp version because the developer is regularly in the forums and the updates are a lot faster coming out. The actual operation I believe are largely the same.

I use the F1 GTN750 on both Comanche and Bonanza with P3DV4. No problem at all, useful add-on in my view.

I have no problem with buttons on about a dozen aircraft that I use this on. You must have some problem with your install. As far as the data base, it gets updated when Garmin releases a new trainer. The database is from Garmin.

MarcE, If you are having the problems you describe, I strongly suggest you update your devices. I was experiencing exactly the same and tried using the update tool, to no avail. Use the Flight1 agent to manage your Flight1 products and download/reinstall through that. I found the devices worked exactly as advertised after doing so. I suggest removing the software completely and reinstalling everything. You can reinstall the Garmin Trainer as well, though I do believe it may not be necessary if you have it up to date...

That's good to know guys,I was experiencing exactly the same and tried using the update tool, to no avail. Use the Flight1 agent to manage your Flight1 products and download/reinstall through that. I found the devices worked exactly as advertised after doing so. I suggest removing the software completely and reinstalling everything.
maybe they have worked something out in the meantime... I had been in touch with their "support" for months and tried to get this work and all they did was to tell me to update it - what I did - and accuse A2A of bad implementation.. There was a point I gave up and trashed the whole F1 GTN stuff... I'll give it another go and try what you suggest.
Thanks!
Marc

Go with reality xp. I have flight 1 and it’s fine but with reality xp it allows you to use a physical hardware gps that you can mount on your desk.
