Please note, this trainer is not a full simulator. Advanced features such as PERF/TOLD, Surface Watch, and VNAV have limited functionality. CCD VNAV, CPDLC, Emergency Auto Descent, ESP/OSP/USP, weather radar, stabilized approach alerts, and clear language flight planning are not supported. The trainer also does not have interfaces for landing gear, flaps, and throttle positions or realistic engine indications. Databases cannot be updated.
The G1000 simulator is actually two apps, one for the Primary Flight Display (PFD) and one for the Multi-function Display (MFD). This is handy for focusing on one screen at a time, although the app does allow you to pair two apps together on two separate iPads. As long as both iPads are on the same WiFi network, you can have a two screen (PFD and MFD) setup and do some pretty realistic training.
The G1000 NXi simulator is a program that is graphic memory intensive in nature. It must be the only application running on your PC. In some cases, even though your computer meets the minimum requirements, the simulator may not function properly. This is due to the unique configuration of each computer and the extra processes and procedures that are utilized by that computer. When you run the simulator, make sure you have everything else (other programs) closed. Sometimes it helps to close programs running in the background, (PDA, Networks, etc). In order to run the G1000 NXi simulator on your computer it must meet the following requirements:
If you are still having issues with the simulator please uninstall the G1000 NXi simulator and make sure that you install it again in the correct folder. Move the installation path to the C Drive and to the User Folder.
The G1000 is an all encompassing flight deck solution that is used in thousands of aircraft worldwide. With its proliferation in general aviation aircraft, the need for a complete flight simulator for home use is at an all time high. The G1000 includes all flight data that you would find in a traditional 6 pack aircraft. It also has an integrated GPS system, autopilot and moving map to make for easy flight planning and enroute navigation.
The primary flight display gives you all the flight data such as airspeed, attitude, heading, CDI, moving map and much more. Everything is formatted just like it is in the real world G1000 which makes practicing doing your instrument scans easy and effective. Information for instrument approaches is included such as localizer and glide path indicators. The RealSimGear G1000 is the perfect G1000 Flight Simulator to use at home for both pilots and students in flight school, as well as flight sim enthusiasts. The G1000 is a great instrument to have in a hardware cockpit for your simulator because it combines all of the key instruments into one, making it easy to setup and compact.
The multi function display has many different modes and sub menus and also replaces older navigation devices like the GNS products from Garmin. Really diving into these modes and menus can be difficult when using a mouse and keyboard and that is where the RealSimGear G1000 comes in. Our G1000 simulator has all the buttons and knobs you would find in a real aircraft to make becoming proficient with these complex avionics easier. The MFD is where you will enter flight plans and really dive into the details of the G1000 system.
The G1000 offers robust flight planning features and allows access to airport information such as frequencies, runways, departure and arrival procedures. Our G1000 simulator makes an ideal training platform for flight schools as the instructor can sit with the student and go over all the critical information the G1000 can provide. Furthermore, there are many ways that pilots can benefit from flying a simulator as well. It is possible to enter a complete flight plan, make changes, select departure, arrival and approach procedures which is a particularly effective use of a home G1000 simulator. Using third party services such as Navigraph, it is also possible to have the navigation data used by the G1000 simulator to be automatically updated as updates to real world procedures are released.
The G1000 brings everything you would find in an older style 6 pack aircraft and consolidates it down to two screens. This replaces these traditional steam gauges and also replaces standalone GPS devices like the GNS530 and GTN750 and GFC700 or GFC500 autopilot. This makes the G1000 simulator very versatile. Various aircraft developers include customized versions of the G1000 system to include airframe specific features such as engine screens that are specific to that particular type of aircraft, or the inclusion of checklists. Having this level of detail really helps develop and practice solid workflows so that everything you do in the real aircraft can be practiced using the G1000 simulator.
The RealSimGear G1000 is an affordable simulator for home or education use. It looks and feels like the real thing and offers high quality, high brightness IPS screens, backlighting for all buttons and text. The RealSimGear G1000 is even used in advanced aircraft like the Cirrus SR20/22 or our TBM package. The RealSimGear G1000 is used by many flight schools and universities to assist with their training programs.
Now the big drawback to the Garmin PC trainer is/was always that it would not really "fly", at least not in any realistic sense like in XP or MSFS. If you wanted to fly realistically you needed a real flight simulation, like those. As far as I have seen, the closest thing to a full implementation of a G-1000 on any simulator that actually flies realistically is the G-1000 add-on produced by Mindstar for the MS platforms. This is the same software that drives the G-1000 portion of the FAA approved Redbird ATD's like the Redbird FMX and the Redbird TD. It is around 95% complete; lacking at last glance only such esoterica as load-by-airways, holding patterns, the capability to use other than lat-long for coordinate systems (like MGRS and the like), and a few other lacks which escape me at the moment. Of course, you also need FSX or, possibly, Prepar3d.

The simulator will feature wireless cockpit connectivity, wireless database updates using Garmin Flight Stream, enhanced situational awareness with SurfaceWatch, visual approaches, map overlay on the HSI and more.
FlightSafety currently offers training for King Air aircraft using its fleet of 14 full flight simulators. They are located at its Learning Centers in Atlanta, Georgia; LaGuardia Airport, New York; Long Beach, California; Wichita, Kansas; and at the Farnborough Airport in the United Kingdom.
Flight1 Aviation Technologies said recently it has developed a Garmin G1000 training simulator. The simulator is compatible with Microsoft Flight Simulator X, Flight Simulator ESP, and Lockheed Martin Prepar3D.
Technically, most devices found in flight schools are not flight simulators. The FAA reserves that term for the million dollar devices used to train pilots in turboprops and jets. Most systems found in flight schools are AATDs, or Advanced Aviation Training Devices. The GT Glass Trainer is an AATD.
If the visuals in a flight simulator stutter or lag behind the control inputs, the student will not be able to hand fly the airplane. Instead of trying to squeeze everything out of one computer, we use three high-end computers networked together to share the significant computing power required by our simulators. The result is the same stutter-free experience you have in an airplane.
Once the paint is dry, use the appropriate engrave/g1000_button_small_engrave.svg or engrave/g1000_button_medium_engrave.svg to laser engrave the button text. Use a scrap piece of wood to quick cut a low-power outline of the button, align the 3D printed button into the outline, then raster engrave each text layer. Hide and view the next layer in the SVG file each time to work your way through the text layers for the _medium buttons.
Both training programs will use Level D, full-motion simulators with through-the-windscreen daylight, dusk and night viewing. And both programs will offer customized instructional packages, as well as mentor services. Eclipse Aviation, which has partnered with United Airlines, plans to begin deliveries and pilot training in the third quarter of 2006; Cessna Aircraft Co., joined with FlightSafety International, intends to start deliveries and training in the fourth quarter.
The training package will include Cessna's and FlightSafety's first mentor program and use the first Level D simulator to include the G1000 package. Olathe, Kan.-based Garmin will provide the hardware and software, plus technical guidance for the program. FlightSafety's Simulator Systems Division in Broken Arrow, Okla., is building the simulator and a flight training device (FTD).
