Your setup looks a lot like mine, Air Manager with those touch screens and a knobster is great. I have mine mounter on the Stay Level brackets but those have a 3D printed quick release on then so I can slide them on and off my Alpha and Bravo controllers as needed. I have a RSG stack with GNS530, Audio panel and Autopilot. So I have options. I’m also building a pair of G1000’s as another option.
Thank you for information it possible at comunication the link discord for me . 
The 0.4 Beta of the G1000 no longer works with the current version of the sim, so it’s no longer relevant.

We’re gonna make the G1000 overlay work with FS2020 in 4.1, after the 4.0.1 hotfix.
Then there’s still the problem of the pop-outs not remembering their position and size…

Popout position and size is pretty easy to set if you use the MS FancyZones Powertoy.

Yup. I honestly don’t see MSFS supporting undocked instruments remembering positions in any short term, if ever. FancyZones is da shiznit as far as I’m concerned. A bit of a chore to initially set up, but quick and easy once it is.
That would be nice for first time users. Especially if you can get them to work natively vs having to use external middleware like Mobiflight. There are already a couple of really awesome community-made ones out there and they’ve been available for months now. There are also G3000 and GNS 530/430 bezels available. But they all require Mobiflight.

H events and L variables are now available with the beta plugin: http://siminnovations.com/wiki/index.php?title=Flight_Simulator_Plugins_BETA
This means you’re able to control the G1000 for example.
It’s the first beta with this option, so there might be some bugs/glitches. But it seemed to work okay as far as we could see.

I am very late to the party, so to speak, but have just had my first flight in MSFS 2020 for over a month, and after upgrading my Air Manager to v4.1 (BETA6), am delighted to find that the generic AM MSFS 2020 G1000 works well now with my touch screens and Knobster - at least the flight I had just now with the Cessna 172 (and G1000) - so am thrilled. Was able to fully control Autopilot and Nav/Com etc.
I had tried the Mobiflight G1000 with Air Manager before, and whilst this worked some of the time, it seemed to CTD on some occasions because of fps problems.
I have no idea if I will still be singing the praises after some more flights, but at the moment I can’t stop grinning when using MSFS and the C172 with G1000!

I have been using the MobiFlight G1000 with the knobster and Air Manager 4 for about a month and have had no issues with exception of the altitude selector not working to set the initial altitude. Once set on the cockpit G1000 the pop out works flawlessly. Check out my Facebook page where I have picture of my cockpit. I have a Facebook page under RussGaffneyFlightSim with a picture of my cocpit.
Have just downloaded the Working Title G1000 Nxi from the MarketPlace (free I am pleased to say). Have also installed SU5 and the “hotfix” released today.
First flight after the update and hotfix just now in Cessna 172 Skyhawk (G1000) - went fine - only problem I encountered was that the CDI softkey did not change anything in Air Manager (with my touch screens and Knobster). However worked fine if I used mouse to press it in the plane itself (using the mouse).
Other things that I did use via the touch screens and/or knobster worked well (e.g. Autopilot + Baro etc.).
May have been me doing something stupid with the CDI and touch screen, so will try again later. If anyone else is using the G1000 Nxi with Air Manager + touch screens + knobster, I would appreciate hearing how they are getting on.

Softkey 6 command in the stock Air Manager G1000 isn’t registering for some reason. I’ve been using it, and I modified it to use the Mobiflight command instead of stock and it works.
On a side note, the FPL button on the Mobiflight PFD bezel no longer works for some reason.
These problems have nothing to do with the NXi. It’s been that way for a while now with the stock and WT mods installed.
Thx v much for this info - relieved in a way to hear it’s not necessarily me being daft.
Hope Air Manager will sort this Softkey 6 problem - perhaps with the full release of 4.1, rather than the current Beta 6.

I noticed the VNAV button is not working with AM and the NXI. Has anyone figured out a way?
Yes. I got VNAV with the G1000 NXi working. Had to rewrite the code for it, as it doesn’t accept an event, but is rather a variable (LVAR) that can be both read and written to.
Replace the code for the VNAV button in your G1000 panel with the code below and it’ll work. There’s no Mobiflight event for it. You have to read the lvar for VNAV (XMLVAR_VNAVButtonValue) and determine its state - on or off. Then you set a new value (opposite) based on that.
function vnv_state_callback(vnvval)
VNAVState = vnvval
return VNAVState
end
fs2020_variable_subscribe("L:XMLVAR_VNAVButtonValue", "number", vnv_state_callback)
function vnv_click()
if VNAVState == 1 then
fs2020_variable_write("L:XMLVAR_VNAVButtonValue", "Number", 0)
else
fs2020_variable_write("L:XMLVAR_VNAVButtonValue", "Number", 1)
end
sound_play(click_snd)
end
button_vnv = button_add(nil,"vnv_button.png", 98,570,54,32, vnv_click)
visible(button_vnv, user_prop_get(bezel_prop))

Been wanting to use Air Manager. Tried V4 Beta with the 172 but had no success. Couldn’t figure out how to get the 1000 bezel. I purchased a 15" touch monitor for it but returned it after failing to get AM to work. Does it now have the 1000 including the bezel ? To be up front, I don’t want to have to do any coding to make things work. Gave that up almost 40 years ago. Besides, I know nothing about today’s programming languages. Just want to grab, place and adjust. Am I baying at the moon?
The built-in G1000 now works without any of this Mobiflight tomfoolery required. The only thing that doesn’t work atm is the VNAV from the Working Title G1000 NXi. The code I have above fixes that.
That said, I’ll probably share my updated G1000 panel that incorporates that fix at some point. No programming required. You just import a new instrument into AM and use that instead of the stock G1000.

Thanks for the update. The only 1000 I see is for the Cirrus. Is that it? I compared it to the 172’s and looks close enough. If that’s it, I’m rollin’ with it and a touch screen ( if I can get past ‘She Who Must be Obeyed’). Next is the Knobster.
By the way, I’ve been watching a couple of your videos. Excellent. I did subscribe. Some people need lessons on instructional videos, for example, clean audio, no background music or engine noise unless it is part of the demo.

If you have the old beta version of AM, the G1000 doesn’t work. You need the current full paid V4.02 release with the latest plugin.
Glad you’ve been enjoying my videos. I wouldn’t call them instructional in any way, but I guess there’s something to be learned from just watching someone doing things.
You should find the G1000 under Panel->Cessna C172SP. At the bottom you will see “Dual G1000”. Click the Add button.
I’ve always believed the best way to learn some things is ‘don’t tell me how it’s done, show me’.
