Do we still need both versions of the Garmin GNS 430/530

This confusion continues to be, uh, confusing.

I’ve uninstalled the Marketplace GNS Add-on.

Having done so, the following 1st & 2nd party aircraft (that I own) are using the Asobo GNS 430/530 units rather than the built-in WT GNS 430/530 units:

  • An-2 GNS 530/430
  • V35B Bonanza
  • D18S Twin Beech
  • Model 407
  • DC-3 Retrofit Liveries
  • Hercules H4
  • PC-6/B2-H4 Turbo Porter
  • PC-6/B2-H4 Turbo Porter Skis
  • DHC-2 Beaver
  • DHC-2 Beaver Amphibious Float Plane

I thought the 1st and 2nd party aircraft were going to adhere to utilizing the WT version by default.

Am I confused on this matter?

Community Managers, care to comment?

EDIT:

Adding to this, a number of Marketplace-bought 3rd party aircraft (that I own) still require the WT GNS Marketplace Add-on:

  • BN2 (all variants)
  • C337H Skymaster II (odd as this just got a 2.0 update)
  • Spitfire Mk IXc
  • Spitfire MK IXc (Clipped Wings)
  • C414 Chancellor (this was also just updated)
  • JRF Goose (this was updated well after AAU1)
  • JRF Goose with Skis (this was updated well after AAU1)
  • G-44A Widgeon (this was also just updated)

A number of Marketplace-bought 2nd & 3rd party aircraft do not:

  • An-225
  • DC-6A
  • DC-6B
  • EMB 110P Bandeirante
  • EMB 110P1 Bandeirante
  • EMB 110P1 Bandeirante (Freighter)
  • DHC-4 Caribou

Based on this, it really seems like we still need it installed, at least for those of us with Marketplace versions of aircraft. It also seems like the 3rd party devs are confused here, too, given the recently updated aircraft still needing the add-on.
