Garmin Pilot / Foreflight connection

Post by MartinM »

Hi

I saw that there is a new option to broadcast GPS data to the network. Does this mean that I don't need to get a F1Tech plugin or the FSX2Garmin App any longer?

We currently only support user position for the ForeFlight app. If those add-ons provide other functionality that you require then they would still be necessary.

The connectivity appears to be very jaggy. Would you be able to fix it. Thanks

ForeFlight is great in the US, however, the global tool for aircraft equipped with Garmin avionics (e.g. GTN 750) is Garmin Pilot, because of its connectivity (plan trips, load flight plans, get Synthetic Vision + alerts on the iPad).

Garmin Pilot offers an interface to X-Plane. It would be great to have Garmin Pilot interfacing with P3D for more realistic flight training on Garmin equipped aircraft. I operate a Cessna 421C in real world, which is equipped with Garmin avionics, including double GTN750s.
