    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated Tom Clayton has offered to post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

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?

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.
