Rave Reviews from Customers and Press:

www.flightXpress.de April 2002: "Well, that was a brief overview of this High Class Avionics Package. Doing your flight planning by hand using maps and tables would take much more time than learning how to use the instruments and all the features available with this GPS. Finally we are glad that an instrument like this for the Flight Simulation is affordable. Flight Line Avionics is a recommended purchase!"

www.avsim.com July 2002: "Reality XP has done an excellent job of recreating one of the best avionics package available to the General Aviation Pilot. For those of you that continue to seek ways to make your simulation environment as real as it can get, this is a great addition to any panel. This is a package you can use in just about any aircraft, I think you will find you get more than your money worth". Flight Line Avionics was awarded 4 stars out of 5.

www.fsworld.us July 2002: "for those of you trying to reproduce as much real aviation as possible from Flight Simulator, one of the thing which are very limited are the radio stack that are available in the aircrafts. Available from Reality XP is a very detailed version of the UPS Aviation Technologies GX GPS which very well resemble the current real world aviation system. It is slightly different and actually better than the FSAvionics Avydine System because it is more reality based than simulation based and that's why I like it!. Reality XP has done a superb job, it is extremely realistic!"

www.flightsim.com August 2002: "There isn't anything in the same class as Reality XP stack. Flight Line does provide a good impression of what it is like to fly sophisticated modern GA avionics and it has zero hit on FS2002 performance. Given that there is no reason why you shouldn't fit the stack to every default plane on your hard disk, potentially you could end up using it all the time, which makes any investment in learning that much more worthwhile."

www.computerpilot.com March 2003: "Flight Line Avionics is an easily installed virtual version of the real life GPS stack. When installed on your system, this add-on will push FS2002 one step closer to real life! If this is a tool being used toward real life aviation, then it should be 98 out of 100. In fact, it would be an essential part of ones setup."

www.airsim.net March 2003: "The star is, of course, a superb Garmin 530 rendition in a gauge approach. Already have some changed planes and really love the final effect"

www.avsim.com March 2003 - about the 530XP in the Meridian: "The panel is the most outstanding part of the package. Flight1's designers have teamed with Reality XP, makers of the Flight Line Avionics package to create some of the most advanced gauges yet seen in Flight Simulator. The panel, along with the Magic system, comes with Reality XP's Garmin GNS530 navigator. It works exactly like the real thing, interfacing the Garmin CDI gauge and the Magic Navigation Display CDI.". The Meridian was awarded 5 stars out of 5.

www.flightsim.com March 2003 - about the 530XP in the Meridian: "As far as I can see, the GNS 530 emulates every single mode found on the real instrument. The secret behind this presumably lies in the way Garmin's GNS530 trainer loads with the Meridian and runs minimized on the task bar. Given that the 530 is probably the most complex piece of GA avionics available anywhere, I didn't manage to test all the modes, but I ran through as many as I could and they all behaved as the book said they should, which is incredible"

www.flightsims.co.uk April 2003 - about the 530XP in the Meridian: "I was extremely impressed by the level of realism that this GPS achieves whilst still being easy to control with the mouse. Running in the background is Garmin's own GNS530 trainer, which is acting as a sort of GPS engine for this gauge so authenticity is guaranteed. Reality XP have done an outstanding job with this gauge and are to be congratulated"

www.flugsimulation.com June 2003 - "The GNS530XP is a great add-on for any VFR or IFR aircraft. It provides a lot of help in IFR flights and is also quick to learn. In my opinion this is an absolute must-have for everyone who gladly value more accurate avionics sets. I give this marvelous add-on 9.5 stars!"

www.pcpilot.net June 2003 - about the avionics option for the FSD Commander 115: "Reality XP is to sim avionics what Breitling is to watches. To be honest, that's actually doing them a disservice - their avionics packages are good enough to be used as integrated packages for real-world aviation training. The feature list of the Flight Line 530 is staggering and the manual superb - but the price is only $29.95 - That's a bargain by anybody's standards."

www.flugsimulation.com June 2003 - "The Jet Line Avionics are a very nice enhancement for the Flight Simulator market and I recommend everyone to use it. For pilots who flies aircrafts like the Learjet, the Jet Line 4 is an absolute must. I like both Jet Line series a lot, especially when flying IFR. Also, the King Air or similar aircrafts make IFR flying much more fun with these add-ons. I award the Jet Line Avionics 9.5 points out of 10"

www.flightsim.com July 2003: "What is so nice about the Reality XP package is that it gives those of us that cannot afford there fancy avionics, a glimpse into their function and luxury. At the same time it gives all pilots who may own or use this complex equipment a perfect real world training tool. Overall I think both amateur flight simmer and real world pilots would get a tremendous amount of benefit from this package and I highly recommend it."

Canadian Owners and Pilots Association August 2003: "This software package for Flight Simulator is one of this innovative company's most recent offerings. Their software in general appears to be aimed at the serious flight simmer and actual flight school student or professional. It is software that falls into the bracket of ought to be certified legal for simulator practice."

www.flightsim.com February 2004 - "The only way to describe the two main gauges is that they are beautiful and put some real world instruments to shame. Apart from actually being readable and therefore usable, the Electronic Attitude and Direction Indicator is one of the smoothest gauges I have ever seen in operation. The Electronic Horizontal Situation Indicator, on the other hand, is not only good looking, but goes so far beyond what the instrument it replaces does as to leave it eating dust."

www.flightsim.com February 2004 - "What weather radar does do is let you spot the really bad stuff and on the basis of my short acquaintance with it, the Wx500 appears to be capable of doing exactly that in Flight Simulator, which is fairly outstanding. I haven't looked at it for long, but all I can say is that it is one of the most exciting developments I have seen in a while and if it turns out to be as good as it looks at first sight, it may prove to be a huge hit for Reality-XP."

www.simradar.com February 2004 - "The expectations for this product are pretty high because in their own words, the Jet Line 4 is promised to be the industry leading integrated avionics for both regional and business aircraft. When moving around comes the best part of these gauges: the EFIS screens feel as smooth as the real glass cockpit screens, almost regardless of simulator frame rate! So Reality XP has really even exceeded what they had promised. Overall, Jet Line 4 is a must, if you like to fly those business jets and/or Saab 2000 etc."

www.pcpilot.net March 2004 - "Addressing Microsoft's omissions, Reality XP has stepped forward with versions of its add-on avionics packages, which promise to breathe new life into the simulator's older aircrafts as well as enhancing third-party add-ons. They provide ultra-sharp, smoothly animated gauges with functionality that goes beyond that provided by Microsoft's instruments."

www.pcpilot.net April 2004 - "A quality add-on (and an FS first!). The Wx500 does an astonishing job of modeling the types of radar returns you're likely to encounter in real flying. Remarkably, the Wx500 has only a marginal effect on frame rates, despite all the calculations going on in the background and the obvious work entailed in rendering the Bendix King IN-2026A instrument in your cockpit. This unit is more than just an animated gauge that pretends to show the weather around you; it's a complex package that succeeds in interacting dynamically with FS2004 and weather you've downloaded or created as a backdrop for your flights. The Wx500 emulates a popular real-world weather radar system and its behavior with remarkable precision."

www.simdeparture.nl April 2004 - "De Jet Line serie is een mooi product, het verhoogt het realisme flink.."

www.avsim.com April 2004  - about PMDG B1900 Jet Line 2 panel option:  "This option may well be what puts the B1900 over the top. Removing the King Air ADI and EHSI and adding in the very best gauge set on the market, the Reality XP Jet Line 2 gauges, totally transforms the cockpit. I’ve provided pictures of the before and after look, but it is the dynamic motion of these gauges that really does the job. They are the smoothest gauges around and a real pleasure to work with". The B1900 was awarded 4 stars out of 5.

www.avsim.com January 2005 "The Jet Line gauges by Reality XP are in a class by themselves. If you are looking for the most accurate, visually most appealing, and dynamically smoothest glass cockpit avionics, this is it! If you have a fair number of high performance aircraft in your hangar, you’ll find that these gauges
integrate nicely into most cockpits and in many cases help elevate a good basic panel design to a great flying experience."

www.fshungary.com January 2005 - "Reality XP has devoted countless hours to make sure that the features out-weight the expectations. I was very impressed with what the combination of the Jetline 2 and WX500 had to offer and have turned a simple default aircraft into an excellent performer with just the addition of two of the five items available to the flight simulation community. With devoted developers and excellent support we look forward to seeing more advanced avionics coming from folks at Reality XP for many years to come."

www.avsim.com April 2005 "the 430/530XP gauges by Reality XP are in a class by themselves. In many ways the Reality XP gauges deserve a Five Star rating... they clearly have set a new standard in gauge design and are a “must have” for any serious Flight Simmer."

Pilot Magazine July 2005 -  about DreamFleet A36 and Reality XP "Reality XP is one of a select group of developers who have specialized in programming ‘instruments’ for Flight Simulator and they have quickly established a reputation for high quality gauges that put the competition to shame. Compared to standard offerings, Reality XP instruments are clearer, more sophisticated and much, much smoother. These gauges are well worth the money."

www.simflight.com September 2005 - "The list of features is almost endless, but due to the cleverly thought-out design you never have the feeling that there is too much information on the screen. I could go on and on, but suffice to say that this unit has everything you will ever need in an EFIS in a GA aircraft, and the Reality XP version is an exact simulation of the real one, despite being $9.980 cheaper :-) Do I like it? No, I LOVE it. If you want to navigate seriously and safely, the Sandel 3308 is a must-have in my opinion."

www.simfligth.nl December 2005: "Reality-XP is known for its true-to-life replication of real avionics. Their Garmin GNS530 and GNS430 are exact replicas of the real instruments. Almost all features of the real counterparts are replicated. The same is true for the ST3400. With the ST3400, Reality-XP offers the flightsimmer a great and versatile instrument. Not only offers the instrument a lot of features, it does this with a crisp and fluid display. The configuration application is convenient and well thought"

www.simfligth.de December 2005: "Reality XP delivers a fully functional Terrain Awareness System for Flight Simulation per FAA standards, which works with any mesh add-on, at a very attractive price. I would not like to miss the ST3400 anymore in my Baron 58. I recommend this purchase."

www.avsim.com May 2006: "The New Standard! The gauges are also easier to interpret, thanks to the more precise rendering technique. The best example of this is the heading on the default ‘steam-gauges’, which I always supplemented with Shift+Z data for exact figures; absolutely not the case for FLT. For those interested in super-real instrument appearance, this is that new standard; I have not seen it’s equal for any traditionally equipped GA airplane in the MSFS world, anywhere. I’m glad Reality XP came my way. I can state without question that they are a vast improvement over the original gauges they replace, and I continue to use it to this day as it makes my refresher sessions far easier than before."
