Blackbird and 3rd party Nav units

It’s kinda crazy that this Working Title 530/430 BETA came out in the MSFS marketplace, and everyone installed it. Then when it broke everything, I see people lay blame on PMS50, TDS and plane devs for the problem. I’ve seen video airplane reviews where the reviewer didn’t even know where the problem was.

You all installed an early beta version of a mod in someone else’s product. How are you gonna blame everyone else? It’s unfortunate that part of the reality is people don’t seem to be aware of the “beta” status of their 530 and what that means, and also that the things that broke from this seemed to be “other stuff” than the 530 itself, so some people didn’t even associate their problems with the 530. This kinda comes down to being a well informed modder I guess. I feel like reviewers especially, have a responsibility to understand what they’re installing and presenting, because misrepresentations by a trusted reviewer can have a big impact on 3rd party devs. Not everyone will read the comments on a YouTube video correcting the reviewers mistakes.
