Garmin G3000/5000 Issues and Support

2 posts were merged into an existing topic: [Released] SF50 Vision Jet G2

maybe iā€™m missing it, but is there a way to see OAT on the main MFD or PFD display? i swore that was a main metric with the g1000/3000 systems

also, how do you set the cruise altitude?

Iā€™m having the following issue: when using the g3000 in any plane (mainly the Honda Jet) I canā€™t manage to get the mfd screens to be independent; every movement I make on one it gets mirrored on the other, and the left side one canā€™t control the map (the buttons on the bottom are unresponsive).

There is only one MFD. I suspect you mean the PFDā€™s. To have them be independent you need the additional G3000 download. They split it into 2 packages because most users never need the right side.

Yeah sorry, i meant the PFDā€™sā€¦ so is this a different install i have to make or is it a file i already have but need to move from a directory to another? Sorry for my ignorance :sweat_smile:

They are available in the Marketplace as free downloads. Search for enhanced and look for the TBM and Longitude packages.

I found it and it works, thank you :+1:t2:

No worries. Glad you got it working the way you wanted.

If you have ever struggled loading approaches into a Garmin system you should enjoy this video.

Her biggest issue is reaching the touch screen from her booster seat.

Hello! I fly Citation Longitude. Cannot seem to be able to fast travel between way points/stages of flight when I manually plug in my flight plan using the MFD. Also, ATC does not pull up altitudes from the flight plan. You have to request a flight level change in increments of 10,000, which is very inconvenient. Tell me how to get out of the situation?

Personal Comments and Observations

That usually means youā€™re not loading the Flight Plan from the World Map. Thatā€™s usually the only way to get the altitudes synchronized with ATC.

Iā€™m using the G3000 on the TBM. Iā€™m quite a novice at both but planning with the G3000 is quite intuitive and Iā€™m doing most of things.
For some VFR flights I like to load in the MFD flight plan some visual approach. I noticed this is often causing a discontinuity in the flight plan.
What I do is usually select the destination. Select the runway. Complete the waypoint sequence. Once done I select again destination, Select Approach, Take the VISUAL one depending on chosen runway and, at this point, if I chose VECTORS occurs a discontinuity. If I chose STRAIGHT it doesnā€™t.
Can someone explain me better?

Iā€™ve seen this youtube video about it:

But Iā€™m missing the explanationā€¦

VECTORS means at that point in your flight plan, you would be getting vectors to final from ATC. You would usually go into HDG mode and follow ATC instructions.

Since MSFS doesnā€™t provide vectors, you kind of have to do it yourself.

What a shameā€¦

Just to be clear, the real unit does also have a discontinuity if you select VECTORS. As mentioned, the pilot is intended to be flying manually (whether that be by hand or using HDG) in that segment. So the computer does not calculate a flight path.

MSFS ATC may not provide vectors instructions but the avionics are operating properly in this case.

I noticed on some flights, but not all of them, that the Current and armed AP modes are just not shown on the PFD:

There is no indication of the active NAV mode and ALT mode being engaged. They are working but are just not shown on the PFD.

I only got navigraph addon installed, nothing else in my community folder. And again itā€™s not so in all of my flights, but is quite frequent. Is it something that I do, or is that an error?

I too have the same problems with the TBM930ā€¦meaning I plan a flight in the main world map flight planner and then load into the plane and the flight plan isnā€™t properly shown on the TBM G3000, it has missing sections, wrong waypoints, etc, etc. Itā€™s been this way for many months now and I am thinking it is somehow caused by the original G3000 mods that used from WT way back before they were part of MSFS/Asobo and of course now we have had several updates to the avionics in the base sim. I donā€™t want to reload the entire sim to try and fix it but itā€™s annoying that it only happens for me in the TBM which uses the G3000, my other G1000 planes work fine.

Can someone help understand something about the RNAV planning? Why do some of the altitude restrictions that I enter get crossed out?

It means the altitudes were invalidated. There are a few different reasons that can happen. Either the system calculated that the FPA required by the altitudes is greater than the maximum allowed (6 deg), or you had a descent altitude restriction higher than a previous descent altitude restriction.
