My company has systems running pretty much every current operating system there is, from Linux, to MacOS, to Win7 and a whole host of stuff in between, including one or two simple operating systems we've built from scratch. ![]() I think it sounds like a fair statement from you would be "For my personal purposes, WinXP seems to be better", but a blanket "WinXP is the best OS and there is no point to Vista / Win7" is what I was suggesting was very misguided. Would you say that non-certified aircraft are better, because they can run non-standardised avionics? If the avionics are not certified for your aircraft does that make your aircraft at fault or the avionics (by way of it not being certified - like software not being written correctly to correct standards)? An important distinction when saying that WinXP is great because it runs the Garmin Trainer, and Win7 is rubbish because it doesn't! :) As SoCal correctly indicated - it's the app's fault, not the O/S. Maybe Miroku should find an experienced pilot and buy him a beer :)Īn O/S actually isn't there to run apps. When I got my TB20 in 2002, I never found an instructor who even knew how an HSI worked. ![]() The really hard thing is digging out an instructor who knows how they work. OTOH it is not hard to work out a GNS430. Perhaps the Garmin sim would run under XP under VMware? It might be worth it. I don't disagree with your view on win7 in an academic sense but if you measure it according to productivity, and lack of driver hassles with what M$ call "legacy" hardware, then win7 scores pretty badly right now unless you are prepared to throw away all your hardware, and buy all your software all-new and with a great deal of due diligence. Unix is more reliable, etc, and we have two machines at work running FreeBSD whose uptime is probably years, but they only run one or two apps. They run a huge range of apps, some common, some highly specialised, dating from early 1990s all the way through present time. I also have 2 Thinkpad laptops, 2 PCs at home, 2 PCs at work, all running XP and all of them work and do what they are supposed to do. My GF has a win7 PC which works with the bog standard stuff and which gives trouble in every other department. I have a pile of productive (and expensive) software which doesn't run under win7. If the apps I need for my work all run under Windows for Workgroups 3.11 (and for some years that was true they wouldn't run under NT) then so be it. Garmin does not support, endorse or authorize this App.SDB73 - an O/S is just there to run apps. ![]() The App provides you easy to understand real life scenarios.The GARMIN GNS430W/530W - Instrument Holds and Approaches App includes:- Hold Entries and Procedure Turns- Staying in a hold- Loading and activating approaches on the Garmin GNS430W/530W- Activating approach legs- Flying LNAV, LNAV+V, LNAV/VNAV, LPV and ILS approaches- Missed approach procedures- Common errors using the Garmin GNS430W/530W- A 10 question quiz about the 430/530- IFR en-route and approach checklistsVisit for a free preview and information on our other products.Disclaimer: This is a product from Flight Training Apps, Inc.
