I bought these and had a problem in P3D with them. (font too large). This was really a P3D and Windows 10 issue, but Mindstar worked the problem and after a couple of weeks sent me a build that worked just fine.

I really appreciated the customer service. I dont like these as well as RXP gauges, but they work.
 
Heck, now I have a question.

Does the 430 operate like a real 430, or is it like the default gps400?
Can you shoot approaches and such with them?

But the RXP gauges won't work in FSX-SE.......

The units are a reasonably good rendition of the real thing. As far as I can tell all pages are covered. There are a couple of flaws though, that stopped me from using the software. First, in the mapview airspace is only visible up until a zoom level of 20 NM. Beyond that airspace will not be displayed at all! Besides that, class D airspace doesn't show at all, no matter what the zoom level is. In hindsight I would not have purchased the Mindstar Garmins.
Also, you only get two installs for the software. One time it took me up to three weeks to get the software activated again. The support is below par.
