Garmin G1000 is an integrated avionic system used in many small aircrafts. This simulator simulates a primary flight display(PFD) which is used in Cessna 182T, 172S, 172R and 206H. Most of the useful functionalities has been implemented in this simulator, such as navigation, inset map, flight plan, flight director, and autopilot. Besides of that, nearly every nob/button is functioning just like they were on the real G1000.

G1000 is a highly integrated system, it is very powerful and also very complicated. It is recommended that you have a real G1000 user guide from Garmin. This simulator can be used by aviation enthusiasts as well as pilots to perform either an IFR training or just fly for fun. There is a global navigation database included in this simulator, and you can fly any where in the world.

This simulator supports FSX, Prepar3D and X-Plane. You can use this simulator either as a stand alone trainer or as an instrument for FSX, Prepar3D or X-Plane.

You need G1000Bridge(X) to make this simulator working with FSX, Prepar3D or X-Plane. Please visit http://www.simionic.net to download G1000Bridge(X).

Reviews

Very Glitchy
Demaiod

Hard to scroll with knobs. Behaves very strange. Will not track localizer only approaches. Very frustrating and negative learning as don’t know if this is the behavior of the sim or the G1000.


Not enough for the money
HGH0001

Able to do some operations however you could learn more from the video on YouTube.


Brilliant version of the G1000
123456778912345

I love this app, it works seamlessly with my FS2020 and turning on the bezel makes it look unbelievably realistic. I wish I could afford the actual bezels that they sell on their website but maybe one day. The PFD is great but the MFD could do with some more integration work into FS2020.


Great app for your sim
mfd529

This app exceeded my expectations, even the built in simulator was a surprise. Integration with X-Plane 11 was painless. Any questions or concerns I had with the app were answered within the same day, at times within a matter of hours. To really appreciate the full functionality of this app I would suggest watching a few YouTube training videos, unless you’re already a real pilot. Thank you Li for a wonderful product and great customer support! One note to users that experience issues. Please make sure your WiFi network is reliable. For the several year’s I’ve owned this app and hardware I’ve found the product to be very reliable. No connection issues for me.


Wish the developer worked on it
Camerwa

App has a great purpose and is well built. But the developer doesn't seem to want to put work to update it. Visual could/should be better considering we are using iPad or Mac displays. Garmin G1000 Nx should be offered, support for more planes....Instead the app is meant to help sell a rather great hardward the Simionic G1000 bezel. The bottom line is that hardware is just a piece of wasted metal without great software.


Excellent learning tool - with a couple major issues
Apfelmaennchen

Great G1000 implementation and sim connectivity, but one flaw makes it borderline unusable in a sim - the fact that the hotspots of the dial buttons keep disappearing almost instantly (why not provide an option to display them at all times..??) leads to a *lot* of unnecessary try and error tapping just to reactivate them first, and then you have to be super quick before the disappear again. Using the FMS in particular is basically impossible just because of that. Also, would it be possible to sync the CDI type/source (GPS/VLOC) with the sim..? That would also be very helpful! Lastly, can the FPL be in sync with the sim in the future..?


No instructions/ guidance
fenwayhiggy

This app comes with nothing at all…god forbid you want to use it with a Mac


Professional simulation of G1000
ccapilot ecu

This is the best and most complete simulation of G1000 and works not only as a stand alone iPad app, but also in conjunction with MSFS 2020 and other simulators, which makes it perfect to practice. Be sure that all the details have been simulated correctly, so if you can do something on the real unit, you can practice and replicate it in this fantastic simulation. Great job! I am super happy with the fidelity that this simulation brings me to practice while at home, even during hotel layovers where I don’t have my flight simulator setup, just with an iPad I can still practice everything I need. I highly recommend this G1000 simulator.


Did not work as expected
mesae

Purchased and tried using it on a flight in X-Plane. GPS nav did not sync with the setting in the sim. Nav mode would not engage. Altitude capture did not work. In fact none of the autopilot buttons worked correctly with my aircraft (using the default X-Plane G1000). Some of the features worked well, but I didn’t feel like fiddling with it so I requested a refund. Some people may find it useful but it isn’t for me.


Great App. Please bring to fs2020
bmwRacer42

This is a great app. Makes xplane even better. This is a must have. It makes life so much easier. I hope it can be made compatible with fs2020.
