GNS430 NOT CORRECTLY IMPLEMENTED #6

Right now the GNS430 panel is not correctly implemented in that it has no functionality other than to show the default moving map with zoom via mouse scroller. However, according to @Jet-Pack (IPACS) on the Aerofly.com forum the executable code for both the GNS430 and GNS530 still exists in Aerofly FS 4 (and FS 2). https://www.aerofly.com/community/forum/index.php?thread/19200-helicopter-model-development/&postID=122524#post122524 Therefore you should be able to update your Tomahawk instrument panel to make the GNS430 fully functional like how Just Flight did it although you will need to update the your 3D blender cockpit instrument panel model to have a 3D GNS430 bezel with knobs and buttons as well as provide the control linkages in your controls.tmd and tomahawk.tmd files like how it was done by Just Flight's version of the tomahawk. There does not seem to be any written documentation of this so I would suggest contacting Jet-Pack on the Aerofly.com forums for information or advice on this.

If you have the Aerofly FS 2 Just Flight Tomahawk or the Just Flight Turbo Arrow III/IV models you can see how they referenced the G430 and G530 interface in the flight sim by looking at the controls.tmd and aircraft.tmd files.

GPS code snippets examples for FS2 G430 and G540 command.tmd and aircraft.tmd. Unfortunately no actual written wiki documentation seems to be available on the TMD.GPS interface GPS_tmd_code_snippets_2.zip
