FMS GPS
-
Thanks for the interest! Yes, we are considering GPS implementation for a future update, but it's tricky to commit to that or give any timeframes at this stage. For the initial release, we've focused on replicating our reference aircraft, which didn't have GPS equipment, and then any post-release updates/upgrades will be largely driven by community feedback.
The aircraft in the sim, even without GPS equipment, are still fully capable of flying RNAV approaches; they'll just generate scratchpad messages informing you of low position accuracy and when the aircraft has been degraded to IRS Only Navigation.

I'd like to also show my interest and support for the addition of an optional integrated GPS. Ideally this would be an option in the EFB aircraft configuration menu that would add a GNSS navigation status display unit and change the FMS to receive position updates that are corrected by the GNSS receiver.
This is necessary in Australia where the aircraft are largely operated into remote airfields that lack ground-based radio navigation and often have only RNP approaches. I suppose this is a feature request for those of us nerdy enough to want to do it right

I too vote for GPS integration.
The loss of NDB beacons in the real world as well as in-sim in conjunction with the lack of availability of old school NDB, VOR, DME approach charts alongside the increasingly widespread implementation of RNAV/RNP approaches doesn't diminish our love of flying old school techniques but it definitely affects our ability to fly them.
If we had GPS integration then at least we can continue visiting airfields where these aircraft were once operated, albeit flying more modern approaches. -
