Downloadload Link at the TOP - 1.3.1 {-------- area in white at the TOP !!!
I just found this , so maybe the rest of you know about this , or , maybe you'd like to know ??
But I came across this "Replacement" GPS for the Default FSX Garmin 500 GPS in FSX.
its called the "KRON 500WX GPS"
It does more with the Screens apparently than the Default FSX one does, from what I gather .
I have NOT yet personally tried it out yet tho , but plan on it !
I pass this info on to you other Sim Pilots who may also want to "Tinker & Fidget" around with this New Style GPS ~ !
Also may be great to add to some panels and other Aircraft for Aircraft & Panel Designers.
