Update 11/30/2021

New compatibility with our GTN 650/750 and the third-party GTN software from PMS50. More information on use and installation can be found here.
Our GNS 530 is also compatible with the PMS50 GNS Mod for MSFS with our latest version of the MSFS Addon. Click this link for an overview on how our Addon works, how to install, and where to report any potential problems after MSFS updates

Currently, our G1000 XFD modules, GNS 430/530s, GTN 650/750s GPS modules, GFC500/700 autopilots, and GMA 350 / GMA addon audio panels with limited use of our GCU47X and GCU479s are being used by our customers with various MSFS aircraft.
As Asobo continues to update the platform we will continue to improve the compatibility of our gear in tandem.

Update 4/27/2021

MSFS2020 has pushed an update that has corrected a previous issue which caused our hardware (along with many others) to no longer work. MSFS2020 should prompt you to update to the latest version next time you open the simulator. If you removed the plugin you can now add the RSG Addon back

C:\Users\[Your User Name]\AppData\Local\Packages\ Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\Community

Steam default path:
​C:\Users\[Your User Name]\AppData\Local\Packages\

Microsoft.FlightDashboard_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\

Alternatively, you can reinstall using the MSFS2020 RSG installer.

Update 4/14/21

MSFS2020 has changed modules with regard to how our Addon (along with many others) behaves with the sim. MSFS has acknowledged the problem and we hope they will address it soon. Remove the RSG addon for now. Updated information will be posted here as it comes to hand.


You will need to remove the RSG Addon from the community folder.

Update 10/13/20

RealSimGear products are now compatible with MSFS2020!

We have been working to improve our plugin and are excited to announce that we can now offer full functionality for our GNS products and almost 100% functionality for our G1000 based products.

RealSimGear is the first and only hardware to offer full compatibility with MSFS2020.

We have prepared the videos below that show the plugin in operation. The new beta version of our plugin is available for download now from our website.

The following products are now compatible with MSFS2020 with any aircraft that features a GNS (Cessna 172, Pipstrel Alpha, Cap 10, DA40-TDI) or G1000 panel (Cessna 172-G1000, Cessna 208, Beechcraft Baron & Bonanza, Diamond DA40-NG & DA62)

The following products are now mostly compatible with MSFS2020 and the included Cirrus SR22 aircraft (Premium Deluxe Version required). Note that the GCU keyboard and number pad functions are not yet supported in the MSFS2020 Cirrus SR22.

Our autopilot products (GFC500 and GFC700 will typically work fine for any aircraft that has an autopilot fitted.
