Ah thank you for the information.
Do you know which sim events to use? I have AAO.
The fuel supply is controlled in normal operation by an electronic fuel control unit. If that fails, or the main throttle gets stuck, the EPL can be used to manually control the fuel flow. Its crude and is very easy to over-torque and damage the turbine, but better than the alternative.
The M500 IRL shows rudder trim no pitch trim⊠the pitch trim is indicated via the trim wheelâŠ
I did made the EIS as per real world thought:

So after flying this (the float version) for a few days honestly the biggest turn off for me is the avionics. I donât necessarily mind having G1000âs for a PFD over gauges, even though in VR gauges are a lot easier to read, but not being able to use a GTN750 for the GPS/Nav is just killing me. I use the 750 on everything else I fly and it is so easy to work with the touch screen. Trying to work with this Garmin through the wheel and buttons, in VR, with a mouse, is just masochistic 
I know Black Square canât modify a 3rd party aircraft but man if this could get the analog conversion that theyâve done to others it would be awesome.
Ah, I clearly misremembered then. Still, more details there than default which was kind of the point, that it can show more than it does if you know how.

But honestly this is never going to happen, the Kodiak irl only comes with the G1000, there is no analog cockpit version. Donât think anybody would invest time and money to turn a realistic plane into something fictional.

I would if I knew how.
IRL the G1000 is easy to use. Not so much in the sim.

So you donât like the G1000 but bought an aircraft that has only ever been produced with a G1000 both in the sim and IRL. Little chance of an analog conversion because one if would be fictional and two it would need assets from a third party aircraft.
If you wanted a GTN you should of bought a GTN equipped aircraft. A GTN doesnât belong in a G1000 aircraft despite the silly mods that squeeze it into the MFD.
The G1000 is a breeze to control if you have external controls for it but yes a massive down side when using a mouse or VR controllers. Itâs the biggest reason why consumer VR is not mature enough yet for a flight sim application IMHO. Solve the control issue and then it becomes much more viable.

@SiRRiPPERORiG this should be doable for the Kodiak now after the WT updates to allow third party custom stuff on the G1000. Can we expect an update at some point for this as was previously indicated?

I literally said in my post it in my post.
Yes I know they canât do it. I said as much. No need to repeat me to myself. I bought it for the airplane first and foremost. Iâm not going to let the avionics dictate what I fly. Thatâs putting the cart before the horse. I simply stated I wish it was an option as it would be easier to control. Thatâs all.
Trim wheel is on an axis(I think 7 on my V1?), you can adjust itâs sensitivity curve just like any other axis. I have a Kodiak specific setting. I forget how much I nerfed it, but itâs easy when you get it tuned down some. Usually just a little bump of trim and a tiny touch of throttle will keep it level. I do remember at default it was crazy sensitive.
No sadly despite its appearance the the bravo trim wheel is in fact an encoder so it uses buttons
In any case I found a way in AAO to send these as degrees and can make them as small as I want so I just need to spend some time testing and tweaking.
On another not does anyone know the variable for the GENERATOR switch? I found the ALTERNATOR just fine but the GENERATOR I canât seem to find
EDIT: And actually the Alternator one I found shows a state change when testing in the sim, but setting the var doesnât seem to flip the switch either.
EDIT: So apparently they are both bound to the same switch. I bound them directly in MSFS and they both come on and off with the Alternator bind
Yes, this is planned.

Is it just me or is the Aileron trim not shown properly in the EFIS? A trim of 0 doesnât appear visually centered.
Whereas a visually centered trim is in fact about 0.3 degrees right

I donât find the G1000 too bad in VR, my biggest issue is seeing the physical buttons on the unit without leaning in or VR focusing. I usually commit them to memory. Only the Cessna 172 has the FD/AP buttons on the PFD, which makes it easier. Iâm not sure why manufacturers donât typically use that configuration.
Using the dials to punch in waypoints can be equally annoying in either 2D or 3D.
This is my main beef with it. Punching in data on the 750 is just lightyears better than that darned knob.
EDIT: It is mostly the button but also the fact that the letters can be hard to read in VR due to the low contrast BG/FG colors while rotating. So it is really a combination of the two. Whereas the 750âs touchscreen is bringing up a keyboard which is both easier to use but also clear what letter you are inputting 
On the G1000 I keep mixing up similar letters like L and I

Itâs a known bug.
I use the dual rotaries on a Saitek radio panel. Itâs pretty quick when you have the hardware - quicker than using the keyboard entry method. Would be even quicker if the WT G1000 supported airways. But for the Kodiak, how often is it used for long IFRs. Most of my routes are departure and arrival and maybe one or two waypoints?.
