About

This application simulates the Multi Function Display (MFD) of the Garmin G1000 avionics system. It's designed for aviation enthusiasts and pilots to practice IFR training or familiarize themselves with G1000 MFD operations. The app can connect to a separate PFD simulator via Wi-Fi for a complete G1000 experience.

FS2020 Nav Sync

Nave settings don’t sync with FS2020 G1000. I won’t buy the basil until this is fixed. I’m using two iPads and the program otherwise it works perfectly.

Good app

I like the app, no issues so far. I have one concern though, is it possible to change the location of the aircraft on the MFD ?

Hangs and Crashes Every Time

I’ve been using the Simionic G1000 MFD for a few weeks now. I’m using it standalone (no sim attached, nothing). I’m on the Apple iPad Pro 13” M4 (2024) model with 2TB capacity.

While it works great for a little while (maybe 10 minutes or so), I can always count on it to freeze up. Many times, it will also crash (disappear). It is very frustrating.

To be honest, I wouldn’t spend any money on this if you are contemplating buying it.

The PFD is also buggy, exhibiting similar freezes and crashes.

They work great until they don’t. They both freeze and crash every time. Sometimes after 10 minutes, sometimes I can use the app a little longer before I can’t use it.

Doesn't integrate

BEWARE if you want to use this app with MS Flight Simulator, it doesn't integrate with flight plans created in FS. Instead you have to enter new flight plans in this app, using fiddly controls to enter codes one letter at at time using the rotary controller. If you have a plane with its own G1000, then the 2 will fight for control on autopilot. It effectively acts as a separate unit giving the sim its own input from its own AP. So while it does act as a G1000 MFD, it doesn't integrate fully into the app.

SIMIONICS G1000. PDF and MFD and NXi

I have been using SIMIONICS Flight simulator products for the last two years. This product uses Bluetooth and WiFi technology to connect to X-Plane 11,12; P3D v5, and MSFS 2020 effortlessly. I am presently Beta testing the G1000 PFD and MFD NXi that will soon be available to the flight simulation general population. I also have used FlightSimGear products which will deliver your flight simulation immersion as well. I’m just super impressed on the technology behind the SIMIONICS panel products which allows me to duplicate my lessons after I leave the airport.

FAQ

What does the Simionic G1000 (MFD) app do?

This app simulates the Multi Function Display (MFD) functionalities of the Garmin G1000 avionics system, commonly found in aircraft like the Cessna 182T and Beechcraft Baron G58. It allows users to practice IFR training and familiarize themselves with the MFD's operations.

Does this app include PFD functionalities?

No, this app only emulates the G1000 MFD functionalities. To obtain PFD functionalities, you need to download a separate PFD app from the App Store, which can then cooperate with this MFD app via a Wi-Fi connection.

Is this app suitable for real-world flight navigation?

No, this app is strictly for practice purposes. The navigation database included may be outdated and differ from real-life data. It is not a substitute for certified flight training or real-world navigation equipment.

What are the system requirements for this app?

Due to its high memory consumption, it is highly recommended to install this app on an iPad with at least 1GB of RAM. Installation on iPad 1, iPad 2, or iPad mini is not recommended. For optimal performance, use an iPad Air or newer devices.

Can this app be used with flight simulation software?

Yes, when connected to the companion PFD simulator app via Wi-Fi, this app can work with flight simulators like FSX, Prepar3D, X-Plane, or Infinite Flight to provide a more complete G1000 experience.
