![]() ![]() Completely overhauled flight plan management system supporting all 23 ARINC 424 leg types.The Working Title G1000 NXi is now available for free, exclusively through the MSFS Marketplace. Some highlights are the completely overhauled flight planning system, an impressive real-time flight path vector system based on current speed and conditions that matches the real unit, and much more. The G1000 NXi adds a huge list of welcome features to the glass cockpit, which you can learn more about below. It’s a great showcase of some of the capabilities of the NXi and its autopilot. Here we take a sneak-peak into some of the features of the G1000 NXi, such as the VNV profile display, VPTH, HSI map on the PFD and other really cool features. Make sure to send feedback to the team if you find any issues!Īs a teaser, WT released a preview video showing the G1000 NXi going through the challenging RNP 19 approach to KDCA (Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport). After installation, it shows up in every stock airplane that uses the G1000 system, namely: the Cirrus SR22, Diamond DA40NG and DA62, Baron G58, Bonanza G36, Cessna 172 and the Grand Caravan.īeing still in an early access stage, expect to see bugs and missing features, but WT promises to issue weekly or bi-weekly updates to this package, which will hopefully squash any existing bugs and add new features. Now available as a free download from the built-in Marketplace in MSFS, the G1000 NXi effectively replaces the prior freeware mod that has been available until now, so make sure to remove that one from your Community folder before installing this new NXi version. This partnership now seems to be coming to fruition with the release of an early access version of the Garmin G1000 NXi, which will eventually become the default G1000 in MSFS. After the recent announcement of a formal partnership between Working Title and the Flight Simulator team, it became clear that the folks from WT would be working closely with the simulator’s creators to improve the stock avionics in MSFS. I hope WT works this kink out of the NXi soon.The G1000 Mod from Working Title (WT) has been a favorite among GA pilots, who find this freeware modification to be much improved over the default G1000 avionics in MSFS. Working Title’s G3000 NXi is still apparently a work in progress. The only way to land the plane after this is to disengage the autopilot and hand-fly it the rest of the way. But in the new Working Title G1000 NXi, clicking the CDI key brings up a locator arrow pointing 90 degrees to the left of the runway heading – every time. Pre-NXi, I would hit the autopilot’s APR button at this point, the AP would capture the glideslope, and the plane would follow it in. ![]() Pre-Garmin NXi, doing this would replace the magenta arrow with a green localizer arrow that would be oriented straight-up, 6 o’clock to 12 o’clock–just like the magenta GPS it replaced–on the final approach heading to the target runway. This is when I mouse-click the CDI softkey in the PFD to switch from GPS to the localizer. Then things go haywire with the G1000 NXi. All works as it should until I get to the ILS approach’s final-fix intersection (the one with the maltese cross and the little lightning bolt). After takeoff, I engage the autopilot (for an IFR flight plan). ![]() Before takeoff, I enter the destination ILS runway’s LOC frequency into NAV1 and make it the active frequency I go to the MFD’s PROC screen to set up the ILS approach and load it for activation later. ![]() I’m not doing anything differently than I did with the plain-vanilla G1000. I’ve tried several times to fly ILS approaches in the Beech G36 since the G1000 NXi became the default Garmin in the G36 and numerous other aircraft in MSFS 2020 with Sim Update 5, without success. Working Title has enabled VNAV approaches in the G1000 NXi, but in the process, ILS approaches have somehow been lost. ![]()
