We've just added our fiftieth (50th) GTN650 replacement mod, with the addition of the GotFriends Edgley Optica!
This is a series of mods that replaces GNS530/430 GPS units with a PMS50 GTN650 in selected aircraft. I want to give a shout-out to JayDee, without whose 'JDs PMSGTN750 on Others' mod mine would not be possible. Thanks JayDee, for paving the way!
JayDee's mod is great, but for older eyes like mine, a GTN750 in a GNS530 bezel can be hard to read. I found the GTN650 much easier to read in that bezel, and so created a series of mods that replace the GNS530 with GTN650. Another thing I like versus the GTN750 in the GNS530 bezel: the map area is in widescreen aspect ratio with not much vertical space, which isn't ideal if you use Track Up map orientation. The GTN650 in a GNS530 bezel presents a square(ish) map with more vertical headroom.
The GTN650 replacement pack currently includes 50 replacement mods. Note that JayDee's mod includes GTN650s for the PMDG DC-6 and the Just Flight Avro Vulcan, so those are not included in my pack.

To make this addon work, you first need to have the following installed in your community folder:
- PMS GTN750: https://pms50.com/msfs/
- ZZZ JD 00 GTN750 MAIN MOD 2.3 - PMS FIX: https://flightsim.to/file/13415/jds-gtn750-on-gns530-mod
SPECIAL NOTE FOR BLACK SQUARE PRODUCTS
--------------------------------------
The Older Eyes add-ons for the Black Square Analog Baron, Analog Caravan, and TBM-850 replace the secondary GNS-430 unit with a GTN-650. The mods should only be used with the PMS GTN-750 as the primary navigation unit.
SPECIAL NOTE FOR THE DC-3
-------------------------
The mod only supports the three retrofit liveries provided with the DC-3. Other retrofit liveries, whether the Bonus Pack from Aeroplane Heaven or those from 3rd parties, will need to have their panel.cfg file replaced with one that includes the GTN units. A replacement panel.cfg and installation instructions are provided in the "GTN650 mod for DC-3 Liveries" folder.
SPECIAL NOTE FOR THE ANT'S TIGER MOTH AND CAC-25 WINJEEL
-----------------------------------
The GTN unit in the Ant's Airplanes Tiger Moth and CAC-25 Winjeel now powers on with the aircraft battery. The GPS Power clickspot in the top right corner of the bezel will not toggle power on the GTN650.

Please consider doing Aerosoft's DHC-6 Twin Otters, too, if you get the time.
