Mr_sukebe Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 IMO, the 430 would be an auto buy for many if: - the radios actually worked - the pop up overlay that’s available for monitor users was available in VR System: 9700, 64GB DDR4, 2070S, NVME2, Rift S, Jetseat, Thrustmaster F18 grip, VPC T50 stick base and throttle, CH Throttle, MFG crosswinds, custom button box, Logitech G502 and Marble mouse.

nessuno0505 Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Agree for the 1st point (radio) For the 2nd I prefer cockpit integration in VR. In fact I'd buy It Just for l-39 (do not own mi-8 ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeCuvier Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 I'm using the original Pilot Guide document from Garmin as a reference, and I find that there are missing functionalities. For example, when you are panning on a map page: "...When the target pointer is placed on an object, the name of that object is highlighted (even if the name wasn’t originally displayed on the map). This feature applies to airports, NAVAIDS, user-created waypoints..." The selected object can be used to define a "direct-to" waypoint. To me this is an important feature and it's not there. Yes, I can work around it but I have paid good money for a truthful simulation, and it's not quite there. I have found other gaps, and I have only started. Hopefully ED will have the energy to complete the job. To explain where I'm coming from: I fly occasionally with a friend who has a PPL, and the aircrafts are equipped with the GNS430. And I want to use the sim to learn using the GPS when we go out for a flight. Just reading the manual does not make me proficient. So, is it worth the investment? I'm not sure (yet) 1 LeCuvier Windows 10 Pro 64Bit | i7-4790 CPU |16 GB RAM|SSD System Disk|SSD Gaming Disk| MSI GTX-1080 Gaming 8 GB| Acer XB270HU | TM Warthog HOTAS | VKB Gladiator Pro | MongoosT-50 | MFG Crosswind Pedals | TrackIR 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramsay Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Seriously? People complaining about a few bucks for wire integration into their favorite aircrafts, come on guys. It's ok, but what if ... ... you're buying the NS430 to add VHF/UHF radios to a warbird or Russian aircraft only to find they don't work. ... or find the given course is a few degrees off in the Caucasus map ... or you find a bug and get no feedback Is it worth a few bucks or should you wait until it's finished? IMHO, asking others what the status of the module is and if it's worth buying, is a sensible question, before making an informed purchase (or not). i9 9900K @4.7GHz, 64GB DDR4, RTX4070 12GB, 1+2TB NVMe, 6+4TB HD, 4+1TB SSD, Winwing Orion 2 F-15EX Throttle + F-16EX Stick, TPR Pedals, TIR5, Win 10 Pro x64, 1920X1080 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xvii-Dietrich Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Status? Worth it? I do not think it is worth it. Sure, it is cheap, but I just don't use it. There are two main reasons. For the 3D version in the L-39, only fitted in the C-version (not the ZA-version, which is the version I fly). And, even in the L-39C, it is front-cockpit only, defeating the idea of having a dedicated navigator for multi-crew. However, the most significant for me is that the pop-up version suffers from a horrible bug, namely the reflections under hazy conditions (i.e. exactly when you'd want a GPS because visibility is low). Ref: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=230449 Yes but is it still in beta? A quick look at the Store Page will show that it is not in Early Access or Beta.

msalama Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Worth it? Depends. For me it is since I use it in the Mi-8 all the time. The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harlikwin Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 I use it in the Mi-8... I guess its in the L39 too for VR. ED needs to figure this out. Would love it in the mig21. duct taped to the front right corner of the cockpit :) and the huey. New hotness: I7 9700k 4.8ghz, 32gb ddr4, 2080ti, :joystick: TM Warthog.

AeriaGloria Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Hell if it’s duct taped I would buy it just for the fitting atmosphere in the MiG-21:) 1 Black Shark Den Squadron Member: We are open to new recruits, click here to check us out or apply to join! https://blacksharkden.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mars Exulte Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 I've been using the NS430 enough lately to learn it and have to concede, it's actual usefulness is somewhat limited. Not due to module shortcomings, but just because it doesn't really provide anything all that special. I can dead reckon and landmark navigate without it, so its really only useful if you're flying at night, or need to drop waypoints on the fly in a crude aircraft that lacks such capability. I dunno. Imo, the module is fine, and it's kind of an interesting doohickey, but once the novelty wore off I kinda quit using it. That's just my humble opinion.

Dlang Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 (edited) Hello guys, Any update on this ? Are the radios working now and synchronised with the L-39 ? Is it possible to do some PBN or interesting ops with this and the L-39 ? Available in the ZA ? Is it possible to do some instrument approaches with this ?

sergkar Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 I wonder if the standard steam version is still the all-in-one version, since it's double the price than in ed's store? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you click on the $5.99 NS430 Navigation System --> Steam Gazelle NS430 and from there follow the link to the old "all-in-one" package (50% discount @ $9.99 / £8.49) you *might* still be able to buy the old Steam package but it's not clear what you'll receive as the L-39 and Mi-8 are now listed separately ? The only way to be sure is to make the purchase and refund within Steam's "2 hrs DCS gameplay/2 weeks of purchase" time limit. This post *may* help you determine what you are buying but YMMV : Edited January 3, 2022 by Ramsay 1 i9 9900K @4.7GHz, 64GB DDR4, RTX4070 12GB, 1+2TB NVMe, 6+4TB HD, 4+1TB SSD, Winwing Orion 2 F-15EX Throttle + F-16EX Stick, TPR Pedals, TIR5, Win 10 Pro x64, 1920X1080 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
