Hi all, if you tired of poping out MSFS windows all the time, you can try MSFS pop out panel manager, which is really awesome, because it records a macro of you moving the panels into the right position and then does the pop out on the click of a button next time you're in the aircraft.

Use as GNS 430

You can also use FlightSimBuilder GNS 530 unit as 430 unit in planes which have GNS 430 (i.e. DA 40). You can follow the Instructions page to install a new FlightSimBuilder launcher and then navigate to your Community folder / "flightsimbuilder-wasm\modules" and open gns.cfg . Replace all AS530 reference with AS430

Use GNS 530 as G1000

Modify your gsn.cfg to the following
