get the identical user interface of the real thing.

I have the Garmin 530 integrated into FS 2002. This integration was
written by someone who no longer does it. His first version would couple
to FS 2002's nav mode, thus the autopilot would follow the Garmin 530
active flight plan rather than the FS GPS flight plan. But, his second
version lost that coupling capability.

Will this one you are using couple to the autopilot? Nothing about that is
mentioned on the web site. Also, I presume you're stuck with Garmin's
August, 2002 nav database?
