Working Title G1000 NXi Discussion Thread

Please let me know if this belongs in a separate thread or anything, but I have a question regarding behavior of the various of the G1000 NXI’s knobs in terms of the rate of adjustments to the target heading, altitude, airspeed, or vertical speed.

When using an external input device such as the Honeycomb Bravo, people seem to have inconsistent experiences with the speed of changes made – either they see a flat speed per click, and feel it is too slow, or (like me), they see a 10x acceleration spike after a few clicks and find this too aggressive.

There’s a separate thread on this topic, but I don’t think there’s much anybody can do to progress it because it seems to be a one-size-fits-all acceleration system that applies to every input through the PLUS and MINUS bindings, when presumably every simulated device might have a different input system that behaves differently.

So my question is: how does the actual G1000 NXi behave with respect to scaling the rate/count of knob-turning events into output degrees/100s-of-feet/knots? And will that be supported realistically in the sim?

Thanks for your time.
