Leave a Review Simionic G1000 (PFD)
Amazing
I'm training in the crj 900 at Mesa airlines and this app is helping me greatly, thank youFmxyonoho
Impressive
Pretty awesome. Helped with my training of the functions of the g1000. Perfect tool for simulation and procedures.Kilo176
Great G1000 sim!
I bought this app to simulate my G1000 interaction with the X-Plane C172S. While it was usable with the on-iPad "soft-buttons", the real thrill happened when you paired it with the hardware bezel. Suddenly it WAS a full-fledged G1000 trainer. You can buy it off the author's store.
I'd give it 4.5 stars if I could, because the only thing it's short on is the Autopilot (AP) feature, meant to simulate the GFC700. Yes, the AP works but it scallops a whole lot (i.e. hunts for the level altitude that you set, or chases the glideslope by a LOT). If you're doing instrument training, this is a real boon but you have to hand fly the plane. VOR/DME approach practices are great, and the buttonology is 95% similar to the real thing.
Don't expect it to fly every leg of your approach for you; it'll miss turns and blow through procedure turns. Oh one more thing, VNAV doesn't work, so you're on your own for those step-downs. It is, however, good practice for the pilot! (you!) Great training tool.Show lessSteadfastly
A nice app that needs a little refinement
Pros : This app is a very nice addition to my X-Plane cockpit. The display is very clean and crisp and an attractive/affordable way to equip a simulator with flight instruments (and other capability) without having to purchase dedicated individual devices. Installation of the X-Plane plugin was reasonably straight-forward. Once connected, the graphics are smooth and move in real-time with the simulator. Cons : The IAS scale will not read any higher than 200 knots which is a problem if you are flying a high performance airplane. The flight planning pop-up is very difficult to use, and the waypoint map is too small to be of much value. This may of course also be the case with the real G1000. Connection between X-Plane and the app has to be manually restarted every time I open a new scenario in X-Plane. Verdict : One of the nicer iPad apps available for flight simulation, but some small refinements would go a long way.Show lessJules640826
Great App!
I have been unable to install the Bridge ("side-by-side configuration is incorrect"). Also I am unable to see the control knobs (soft keys) like in the description photos. It seems there are no "settings" or "options" buttons/pages in this sim/app on how to set it up. Aside from the 1 time view upon starting the app for the first time, which shows basic functions such as steering, acceleration, pitch ( tapping the center is supposed to Recalibrate your neutral pitch but this doesn't work for me either). So, I am hoping tech support will enlighten me and all will be good as this is most likely a case of just not knowing enough (and I will adjust the star rating accordingly)!
I finally noticed the arrows which toggles the instruction pages left and right! Much better! Just waiting on help w/ the Bridge file for use w/ FSX (Gold Ed.).
Thanks to great support, I am up and running w/ FSX and Simionic's G1000 sim! At $10 this app has incredible value for anyone seeking pilot certifications or just keeping those piloting skills sharp. I would hope to see more features w/ the integration of FSX (or Xplane) in the future. Such as, allowing flight plans and other information to be input through the iPad G1000 app. automatically filling in your FSX G1000 (The FSX sim is very hard to read w/ no zoom capability). That alone would be worth another $5 (to me at least)!Show lessN11C
Great, has a lot of potential!
I'm currently working on my Instrument rating through an accelerated part 141 program using a DA40 w/ g1000. It's expensive and fast paced. That's why I love this app. On my off days I can become/stay proficient on my ILS and LOC approaches with the same equipment and airports I will be using on my check ride all for $10. It's easy to sync with fsx, just be sure you have the newest versions of both the free downloadable bridge and most up to date free downloads of fsx. The only reason it receives 4/5 stars is because of a few minor glitches now and then, such as an inactive glide slope on an ILS onetime (good LOC practice though) and the need for an improved RNAV approach database. I especially enjoy the app bc of the stability and easy control of the autopilot. I had stopped using fsx for a while because of the instability and outrageous sensitivity of my joy stick when free handing it. Keep up the good work!Show lessWxbrief
