This is THE BEST G1000 tutorial I came across EVER. This includes the "transition" course I took as a commercial pilot from steam gages to modern flight deck. I thank you for your superb quality detailed tutorial.
I flew C172S with G1000 NXi over seven hours in the last week and find this video is amazingly accurate and practical. It serves an excellent tutorial and memory aid for the AFCS. All pilots transition from six packs to glass should bookmark this videos. Much appreciated the great work👍, subscribed!
Thanks for the feedback, @dtsh4451. Always good to hear from real life pilots that the sim is matching up with real world equipment. Working title has done an excellent job with this upgrade! Thanks for the kind words, as well. Glad you found the content helpful, and thanks for watching!
Your tutorial videos on the G1000, the 530, and the basic autopilot in the C172 are probably the best that I have seen. Thank you for producing these for You Tube. I am surprised that more folks haven't found them and subscribed to your channel. [Please] keep up the good work!
As a new flight simmer, I found this tutorial to be most helpful. Thanks for sharing your knowledge in a clear and concise manner. Please consider doing videos on other systems if possible.
Thanks for the kind words R G. I''m glad you're finding the content helpful. I try to publish new videos every two weeks or so, so make sure to ring the bell to be alerted to when new content comes out. Thanks for watching!
I wish I saw this earlier instead of trudging and learning on my own over months- great work! As a minor aside, the count down timer does work again when you set a given time as of May 2023- not huge deal, butbif someone rather have countdown than up, you’re all good again😅
Glad you found the content helpful ZDP, and thanks for watching. The countdown timer was one of the (many) things Working Title fixed with the NXI upgrade (I made this video with the old stock system - though I do have differences training videos on that system.)
Wow! So far all the videos I have seen have been top notch! I do wonder, why this gem has so little subscribers and popularity? Nonetheless, an excellent series, thank you very much for your time to make us simmers not go through pages and pages of G1000 manual.
@garretthaynes8814, I'm not actually from that area - but I was based near there as a CFI, and we flew in and out of there a lot. I based most of the primary VFR training videos there, as it is a good field for primary VFR flying - nice long north/south runway with good open terrain to the South/East for basic maneuvers, and at a reasonable elevation.
Just a slight correction (great work!!) : CRS2 knob works for VOR2. So all knobs work. Ciao! Keep it up! Very informative and greatest didactics I’ve seen on the subject.
Very well done and very easy to listen to and understand. I fly X plane 12.3 and helicopters only just got the Robinson 66 and it came with the G1000 PFD and MFD its a bit of a challenge but using your instructions I have been able to make thing work thanks for sharing
Thanks for the kind words, @lpmac11. I am a CFI-I/MEI and AGI (and ATP.) I've kept my certs current, but I haven't done any active real-world instruction in quite some time. Glad you've enjoyed the content, and thanks for watching!
It's on the list, Moonfaster - I just don't know when I'll get to it. It's, unfortunately, the avionics suite that has been shown the least amount of love from the team, so it's still a very quirky system.
@@Moonfaster, you can create failures using that menu in MSFS - but they are mostly engine related failures, and the only random element you can set is time to failure. There is a mod for PC users that allows you to create truly random failures of most instruments or systems called Randfailures that I recommend looking into if you'd like to have that sort of feature. It's available here: flightsim.to/file/2272/randfailuresfs2020 I also have a video where I talk about how to use the failure menu, and how to use RandFailures (though it's an earlier version of the mod.) That's available here: th-cam.com/video/9YpRFp2b4Ik/w-d-xo.html
Great video, thanks. I'm having an issue with the altitude capture function and I'm wondering if someone here might offer a suggestion. I set my target altitude at say 3500ft and use either FLC or VS to get to the altitude, but once it gets within about 160 feet of the target the reading in the autopilot status line changes from ALTS armed to something like 3380 and the aircraft levels off at that altitude. Barometric pressure has been set properly, so I can't figure out why it changes the target altitude. Any tips or suggestions would be welcome.
Glad you enjoyed the video Ken, and thanks for watching. I tried to replicate your problem, but was unable to do so. Tried it using both live and custom weather, and both times (with a non-standard altimeter setting) the aircraft captured altitude and leveled off as expected. With, it's almost like the ALT button is being triggered somehow as you start to level. I know the 172 classic autopilot has problems with capturing a selected altitude with a non-standard altimeter setting, but I've not heard about a G1000 aircraft behaving that way. The only thing I can suggest is to try it with custom weather and a standard altimeter setting and see if it still does it. Also check to see if there is anything in your community folder that might be causing some sort of conflict.
@@AlphaHotelFlightSimulation Thanks for your reply and attempt to help with the problem. I did manage to find out what the problem was, and as you suspected it was a conflict with an older version of the GTN750 which I still had installed in my Community folder. Updated it and the issue was resolved. So again, thanks.
Why am I flying in circles or off in some other random, not the right direction after I activated the approach? The autopilot flew the whole route and it shits the bed when it’s time to land
Double check the flight plan to make sure there are no duplicate fixes. This can happen sometimes when you load and arrival and then an approach. If there are duplicate fixes, you can delete the ones there are two of.
Thats weird. I just let RNAV do its thing until im almost on the runway. Then i flar, and touch down like a pro lol. When it works. Roght now the G1000NXI isnt working right though lol.
I am having a strange problem with the G1000 in MSFS. I can use my mouse to click any of the buttons...or rotate any of the knobs. But I get no cursor, or have any ability to PUSH the knobs, which means (among other things) that I can't "select" anything. Has anyone else experienced this?

Very good! Thanks
Do you have a tutorial of the G3X? I would love one since you are best on TH-cam
It's on the list, Moonfaster - I just don't know when I'll get to it. It's, unfortunately, the avionics suite that has been shown the least amount of love from the team, so it's still a very quirky system.
@Alpha-Hotel-FST No worries 👍
@Alpha-Hotel-FST By the way... a question. Random failures arent possible in msfs2020, right? You can only decide to activate them in a menu?
@@Moonfaster, you can create failures using that menu in MSFS - but they are mostly engine related failures, and the only random element you can set is time to failure.
There is a mod for PC users that allows you to create truly random failures of most instruments or systems called Randfailures that I recommend looking into if you'd like to have that sort of feature. It's available here: flightsim.to/file/2272/randfailuresfs2020

Unfortunately, I haven't encountered a problem like this. You might search on the official MSFS forum to see if anyone there has posted about it.
So slick, so official. I yearn forr a voice talking slower and more chatty. Relax young man.
