The G530 navigator and G1000 navigator in X-Plane 11 are excellent, but there is an inconvenience: it is not easy to input Waypoints. Dragging that tiny knob with a mouse is really not a good user experience.

Fortunately, I discovered this Plugin: Gps Flightplan Input via Keyboard, which allows you to input Waypoints directly using the keyboard. This should make utilizing the G530 and G1000 much more convenient.

However, looking at the instructions:

INSTALLATION Unzip the folder “GpsFPLInput” into “X-Plane11\Resources\plugins" If you are using the Steam Xplane11 the directory will be “Steam\steamapps\common\X-Plane 11\Resources\plugins"

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS OS: Windows, X-Plane 11.1

It is Windows only, so for MAC users, we will have to keep waiting.
