No it doesn't. Close, but a real Garmin 430 is easier to set up.
Sounds like you're not using the real simulator, but just the built-in MSFS
simulation.
The real simulator was written by Garmin. As far as I can tell (since I have
the real manual) the simulated 430 and 530 work exactly like the real-world
manual describes, or at least I haven't found discrepancies between the manual
and the simulated 430/530. I asked about temporary waypoints because it's not
documented very well in the manual.
I'm not sure about FSX.
Nothing changes for FSX. It's the same simulator (if you are using Garmin's
simulator).
For reference, I'm using FS2004 and I teach on a
Frasca Tru-Flite with a Garmin 430, a Garmin 430 training system and a
C-172 with a G430. The flightsim Garmin is the most cumbersome to
program and some of the features don't work quite as well.
If you are still using the built-in GPS, I agree. I haven't looked at that in
years.
Head on over to Reality XP and get one that actually behaves like the genuine
article.
USEFUL! Very nice.
I'm evaluating IP Trainer right now.
