Agreed! I learn best that way too.
On another note, I’ve released my modified G1000 bezel at the link below. 100% compatible with regular SimConnect / MSFS SDK commands, so no Mobiflight wankery required to get it working. I’ve improved VS and FLC functionality and the associated nose up / down button behaviours to match how it works in the real unit. VNAV key now also works if using the Working Title G1000 NXi add-on from the marketplace.
