The RealSimGear G3X is our newest solution to those of you who fly kit, light-sport or bush aircraft in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and are looking for a high fidelity way to control your integrated avionics. Designed to replicate a Garmin G3X GDU-460, the RealSimGear G3X features a 10.1 inch touch screen display, accurate rubber back-lit buttons and our new Garmin replica knobs, it is certain to make an excellent addition to your desktop avionics or custom panel.

The RealSimGear G3X package includes the following components.

Place the RealSimGear G3X into the desktop stand, with the knobs and buttons oriented toward the bottom. The device will only fit in one direction.

Insert the four M4 x 30mm socket head screws into the four mounting holes of the front corners of the bezel.

From the back of the G3X stand, install and tighten the four M4 nuts onto the four screws inserted in the previous step. The M4 Screws use a 2.5mm hex key. The M4 nuts require a 7mm socket or pliers to tighten. Do not overtighten the screws.

Many aircraft using a G3X will have either a GTN650 or GTN750 as a primary method of navigation in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. The real G3X is designed to be used with an external navigation unit in most aircraft. Many third party aircraft for MSFS will include one of these units in the cockpit. If you wish to use your RealSimGear GTN650/750 with your G3X equipped aircraft you will need to decide which GTN avionics you want to use.

There are two GTN avionics packages available for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020:
​
​PMS50 GTN: Available as a free or subscription based version
​TDS Simulations GTNXi: Available as a one time purchase.

At the present time we highly recommend using the PMS50 GTN software with the Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 G3X/GTN equipped aircraft. Programming and managing your flight using the PMS50 GTN will allow all of your flight plan data to instantly transfer to the Microsoft Flight Simulator G3X avionics as it uses the built in flight planning system of MSFS. With the additional features offered by the PMS50 GTN the combination, coupled with the G3X, this will greatly enhance your flight experience.
