G1000 no airplane icon - MSFS2024

[sthephan96]

On the G1000, aircraft not shows the correct icon on the G1000 display?
It only shows a white wheel, right?

Anyone else having this problem?

[TheIceCoId]

I have the same issue

Also, clicking the knob to switch between Nav1 & Nav2 don’t work. You are stuck in Nav2…on the C172 G1000 that is…haven’t tried others.

Working Title indicates on their Discord that this is a known issue.

How about the Nav radio issue?

[CasualClick]

Not sure. You may want to peruse the G1000 channel over there and see if the team has any updates.

Noticed this same issue yesterday, can’t use NAV 1

[blueline308]

Seems that you now MUST use LOCK interactions and not LEGACY if you want to PRESS a knob. You MUST press the knob with the RIGHT mouse button while in LOCK mode.

[theCLUMSYgeek]

I’m using Legacy and learned how to press the knobs. Click and HOLD left click first, then right click.

[blueline308]

OK. I read the opposite on their Discord. I’ll give it a go

Thanks,
Jim

[blueline308]

It works as you described. Thanks again,

Hello everyone. I found a quick fix for the aircraft icon on the MFD.
There are two versions of the G1000, I don’t know which one the Cessna is using. But since both versions have this error, it might affect other aircraft as well.
I did a quick test and everything works as expected for me now, but I take no responsibility if something goes wrong. So make a backup of the files before you modify them!
This fix is for the Microsoft Store version. Whether it will also work for the Steam version, I cannot say. Maybe someone could test it and post it here.

Take these steps:

1. Shut down MSFS!

2. Find the folder where MSFS24 is installed. If you don’t remember: Open the Xbox app, right click the Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and choose “Manage”, then switch to the Files tab.

3. Open the file <FOLDER>\Limitless\Content\Packages\workingtitle-instruments-g1000\html_ui\Pages\VCockpit\Instruments\NavSystems\WTG1000\MFD\MFD.js in a text editor.

   • Find the line „class MFDNavMapPage extends MFDUiPage {“, it is the line number 15568 here.
   • Find the line starting with “}, flightPlanner: this.props.flightPlanner }” directly below.
   • Within that line change the part “MapBuilder.ownAirplaneIconOptions()” to “MapBuilder.ownAirplaneIconOptions(false)”. The whole line should read:
     }, flightPlanner: this.props.flightPlanner }, MapBuilder.ownAirplaneIconOptions(false)), { trafficSystem: this.props.tas, trafficIconOptions: {
   • Save and close the file.

4. Open the file <FOLDER>\Limitless\Content\Packages\workingtitle-instruments-g1000\layout.json in the text editor.

   • Find the line “"path": "html_ui\\Pages\\VCockpit\\Instruments\\NavSystems\\WTG1000\\MFD\\MFD.js",”, it is the line number 24 here.
   • Add 5 to the size value. Here it was 1459661 before and is now 1459666.
   • Save and close the file. You don’t need to worry about the date value.

5. Now do the same with the following files:

   • <FOLDER>\Limitless\Content\Packages\workingtitle-instruments-g1000-v2\html_ui\Pages\VCockpit\Instruments\NavSystems\WTG1000v2\MFD\MFD.js
   • <FOLDER>\Limitless\Content\Packages\workingtitle-instruments-g1000-v2\layout.json

Now you should see the correct icon on the MFD.

If Microsoft updates MSFS without fixing this bug, you may have to repeat the procedure.

Good flight!

[blueline308]

Great find!!

Is there any way you can provide these file for download somewhere ?

[ab353]

Try right clicking the knob. That lets you switch between comm 1 and 2 and nav 1 and 2.

[sthephan96]

@CityTourist

Now you should see the correct icon on the MFD.

Great! The HDG line Works Fine now too?

[CityTourist]

I’m not sure about the copyright. And if one would replace the files after Working Title updated their product, it could possibly break a lot more. So I would not like to offer a download.

[CityTourist]

What do you mean by the HDG line?
