Only the makers of the aircraft youāre using can tell you that. The safe assumption is all MS Asobo made stock planes that use the GNS are compatible with the latest code. All others, you must inquire.
My understanding (based on past WT comments on their Discord) is that the WT mod for the GNS 530/430 previously available as a free download via the Marketplace has been fully deprecated since AAU1 was implemented. It should be uninstalled via the content manager.
The new ābaseā 530/430 is included in the core packages and should work with any aircraft that has a 530/430 including 3rd party. Itās obvious when itās in use as each unit has a start-up and GPS acquisition screen that the original lacked.
Iād take this as the baseline position. If you encounter a 3rd party aircraft where the 530/430 doesnāt seem to work you can then contact the Dev, but I donāt think that will apply to any of the main Devs.
Iāve used the PMS 530/430 combo since it was first available. Since the WT is now integrated into MSFS as stock, that mod is being retired.
Iāve switched from using that mod to the integrated WT530/430 thats stock now and my AP is all screwed up now. ALT on my Logitech multipanel now displays 99000. VS doesnāt transition into alt hold when it reaches the ALT set in the plane, and instead just keeps on climbing, etc.
I use the 530/430 with the Logitech multi panel and also Radio panel.
What are you using to drive your panels? The Logitech plugin or something like SPAD.next? I use SPAD and have no issue using standard simevents to command the AP.
Also on what aircraft? The 530 is not the autoflight system - that is usually a KAP140 or something similar but it depends on the aircraft and how the Dev has implemented the integration with the 530/430.
The Multi panel worked fine with the PMS GNS530/430 combo, but when I switched to using the stock 530/430 combo thatās now integrated into MSFS the AP on the logitech doesnāt work right. I am using spad, but most of the multipanel setup is stock.
Odd. Best to take this to the SPAD discord if you havenāt already. It must use non-standard simevents or more likely they have not updated the aircraft to accommodate the new WT avionics framework.
And that is the CRUNCH. It would appear that the WT GNS Garmins are still in development, and still have bugs to be resolved.
No doubt they will be resolved, but at the moment, there does seem to be numerous issues, so it might not yet be the time to totally throw away the PMS50 version
Well to be 100% sure, Iād have to check with a flight, but itās too late for that right now. But Iām 99% confident that 1.1.5 is the stock sim 530/430 and so designed to work with all stock aircraft.
Personally, I still prefer the latest PMS60 GNS530, which is version 1.0.54
My āPersonalā choice because it offers feature that the WT GNS530 is missing, and is reported as āNot Plannedā to be implemented.
Yes, the WT GNS530 has new features, that are present in the RL Garmin, and NOT in the Pms50 version, (like missed approaches), but being brought up and learning to fly before GPS, I do not find flying a missed approach manually a big deal,
However, what I do find a big deal, is not being able to store Flight Plans in the Garmin, as well as what is meant to be a GPS, messing with the operation of an almost 100% correctly simulated KAP140 Autopilot.
MY Choice ā¦ and what is nice, is that currently, we are all free to make our own choices.
