im motion we get a NS-430 in the back of the tcat

[evanf117]

IRL rios used garmin's to navigate because of the mec INS was bad, so like other planes it would be nice to get a working 3D NS-430 in the RIO seat as long as you own the NS-430 so you heave more things to fiddle with and can use it for navigation

EDIT: 
i found what it is IRL
the Garmin GPS 3 Plus Portable Gps Navigator
after reading some of the comments and thinking id say it would be better to get the GPS3P for accuracy but i still think in theory the NS-430 could work if the devs wanted to add a GPS and not put too much effort into it, in which case im fine with, i just want a GPS for the RIO seat

Would probably require some licensing from Garmin but I think it could be done and would be a unique addition to the RIOpit.

+1 for the GPS

The gps in the picture is a handheld device which could be easiliy attached to the cockpit. The GNS430 we have in DCS is far larger and requires a dedicated shaft somewhere (like a car radio). There is no way you could mount a GNS430 in the F-14 safely without substantial modifications to the cockpit.

Introduce it with an Afghanistan map and recreate that picture

seems we allready have a NS 430 i dont think licencing would be too hard for it but as others have suggested it may be better to get a smaller GPS maybe even the one in the picture just for the F-14 as it would be hard to mount the NS-430 as its largish, im drew a possible perdition for the NS-430 tho now that i think about it id rather have a more accurate to the tcat GPS (ie the one in the IRL photo)

here is a possible position

i think theoretically you could mount the GNS-430 here but yea, it would probably be better to get the one in the IRL photo 
after doing some digging the one in the photo is a 

Garmin GPS III Plus

+1000 for this idea, it would be absolutely awesome to have

pretty sure the NS430 module didn't use Licensing form Garmin hence why the name is "NS430" instead of "GNS430"

Yep

We dont need a GPS. We have the Lantirn and the fabulous AN/ASN-92 INS.

But you can use the NS430 in 2D window, something like a handheld GPS

In a proper war GPS is not useful as it will be too interfered so it will give you false readings.

You realise that what GPS was invented for right?
Literally the US government put the satellites in orbit for use by the military, there's GPS guided bombs for heaven's sake!

Nobody “needs” it. It is just easier for navigation. It’s not like the NS430 even interacts with the tomcat anyway

maybe i dont want to carry round a TGP, and maybe i dont want to go out on a 3-5 hour mission and not be able to find my way home without the F-10 map,
yes we dont need it but it would be a very welcome addition and i think HB should make it

Isn't it already available?

im talking about a physical model in the RIO seat

[IronMike]

We thought about this on and off... But, with everything extra we offer already, I will say that for now it is unlikely. A nice to have, for sure, but also a cherry on top. We have this idea in the back of our minds though, and who knows, maybe one day we will have the extra time and mood to do it. No promises though.

A couple of questions about it:

- Does it affect the FPS noticeably?

- Is there a way to make it monochromatic in order to reproduce the GARMIN 3 Plus?

- Can it be used in MP servers or it's subject to IC restrictions?

1- Nah. Although the if affect the cockpit lighting in some odd ways occasionally;

2- I pass on this one;

3- Why would it break the IC? The NS430 is a DCS module, not a mod.

 

That being said, it's not a must-have at all. It's a nice-to-have, extremely rarely useful gadget.

I'd buy a 3D version, though.

[BlackLibrary]

i would buy it, too.
