Please add support for the GTN 650!

Hello,

I really like the modern cockpit in the T-33. But the GNS 430 is so clunky to use. Any chance you could add support for the GTN 650? A lot of developers release mod packages to make their addons compatible with the PMS and TDS GTN. And the TDS SDK even includes the full 3d model for their GTN650Xi.

Greetings
Tim

If I might add my voice to this;
I noticed this evening that the T33 doesn't support an external navigator so my simple planned VFR flight from KILG to KSBY was a no go.
We ran into a similar problem at A2A Simulations when we were doing our P51D. Naturally we wanted to keep things WW2 in the cockpit of the 51 but after thinking it over seriously (and since I was the realism advisor on the 51) we realized that giving the end user a GPS capability would absolutely equate to our customers USING the plane more often, and we all agreed THAT was a good idea.
What I'm getting at here is simply this. And let's say I'm talking about the many end users who LOVE the classic dated panel but would really like to have access to a working GPS to use for flight planning and cross country.
Fortunately the available FREE GTN750 by PMS50 does that nicely without you having to integrate the unit into the panel of the T33. Having this available opens a whole new world of possible cross country flight for the  INIBUILD T-Bird pilots. I also have the Shrike F86 and it has the GTN750 unit available as a small open window AS AN OPTION.
I believe all that is needed to do this for everybody is to code for an external navigator in an upcoming update.
I make this suggestion fully aware that the "magic" of the T33 lies in its classic panel and not everybody wants to fly using all that glass on the modern panel.
Using the external GPS window really completes the many options available for the end user when "flying" the T33.
I hope you will consider the inclusion of the code for an external navigator in a future update.
I will tell you that I for one will use that Garmin 750 and deeply appreciate having it available as a new option.
Many thanks for your consideration,
Dudley Henriques
