For those of you who are using a Garmin 430/530, there is software that allows the 430/530 Garmin Simulator
software to run as an "insert" to the cockpit display in FS2000 or FS2002. This means the two simulators are
interconnected such that the Garmin knows where Flight Simulator is.
Go to www.Avsim.com and search for Garmin 430.
Instructions are given for downloading and installing the software.
I have downloaded the Velocity XL from www.flightsim.com , revised the panel so that it is similar to the
panel in my 173 Elite RG, and now that I have the Garmin 430 simulated, I can fly practice IFR approaches to
my heart's content!!! Especially fun when the weather sucks like it does today!!!
I'm sorry, I don't have detailed instructions on how to do all of this, it has evolved over the past 6
months - but the key point is - it can be done and it works very nicely!
