G’day all,

  

 Anybody know where I can get a GRT EFIS Simulator?  Reading the manual only gets you so far and I’m not too keen on shaking down Synthetic and ILS approaches inside controlled airspace until I have mastered the ‘knobology’.  

  

 Cheers

 Ron

If you find anything I would like it too. I figure 6-8 months until I am flying. Maybe more, maybe less. No hurry, but when I get there, like you I want to be as familiar as I can with the system.

Ron,  

   

Short answer is that there is no simulator for GRT.  There are a couple of other options that might help if you’ve actually got one of the display units.  

<![if !supportLists]>1)      <![endif]>There is apparently an MS flight sim driver that allows you to plug your GRT in to the PC.  I’ve never used it but on the surface it sounds interesting.  Chatter that I’ve seen sounds like usability is limited – pretty much display only.  

<![if !supportLists]>2)      <![endif]>GRTs have the ability to record/playback flight info.  There are some that you can download, put on a USB stick and then “playback” on a display.  This is really nice because you can flip between screens, etc. but again it’s only playback and not entirely interactive.  

   

If you aren’t already a member, I strongly recommend joining the GRT Yahoo group at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/GRT_EFIS/.  You will find discussion, files for download, etc. that can be very helpful.
