Garmin G5 Mod Addition to aircraft
-
As the future updates roll out, would it be possible to allow the Garmin G5 mod that has recently surfaced to be a toggleable option in the aircraft?
@hazzer111 I would love to add those units for my aircraft, and that mod looks spectacular. As with the Evolution EFIS that has come up here a few times, there are lots of technical details to consider, including whether the mod creator even has any interest in seeing his work included in a payware addon. Since updates have been a hot topic here recently, I will also add that I delayed this latest round of updates several times while waiting for collaborators and Sim Updates that were "right around the corner", so I think the majority of my users are looking for updates sooner, rather than waiting for us implement G5's for the next updates.

@Black-Square Thanks for the response!
Yeah of course it makes sense to not delay updates that are ready any further.
I note on the github of one of the creators they have added the mod as a separate variant to a few payware aircraft all ready. The downside is it isnt toggleable of course.
Also says "The issue with custom variants for third-party aircrafts, such as PA28/38 is that any update to the base aircraft can break the G5 unit. Due to that, it's better to request support for custom variants directly from manufacturer of the aircraft."
So it seems there is a desire for it to be implemented in a similar way to the PMS50 etc.
thanks.
