Working Title G1000 NXi Discussion Thread

Regarding the :1 slot and altitude…

I was struggling with it last night and found that if I turned the AP altitude selector knob on my Honeycomb Bravo to another detent (like VS), it worked to hold the AP altitude. I also un-mapped the Bravo ALT position in the controls settings. This worked for me because I have hardware encoders and Air Manager G1000 overlays dedicated to setting AP parameters, so I don’t need the Bravo AP controls. Of course I used the “Altitude Autopilot Lock Var:1” with my Air Manager encoders and panels.

On another note… I also notice some weird visual artifacts on the popped-out MFD. It’s in the engine instruments area. The black background seems to have “holes” in it around the white lettering/numbering and graphics. When panning around, you can see glimpses of the exterior and environment through these transparent outlines of the white pixels. There’s also some little lines connecting various ends of the green arcs on the dials.

On yet another note… The flight planner paths are glitchy sometimes. This flight plan was created using the World Map and Low-Altitude IFR routes with an ILS approach. Not sure if it’s just the NXi or if it happens across other (like the CJ4), I haven’t checked that out yet. I was doing a DME arc ILS approach to Lanai City PHNY and the magenta path kept glitching between these two paths:


Once ATC had handed me off and I had contacted the airport’s Traffic radio, it also had me on a path that didn’t seem quite right. Note that the flight plan shows I’m on the OJOVU to EYEPO leg but I haven’t even made it to OJOVU yet. I’m off of the magenta line because I had to take over lateral control to correct for the strange excursion hook it wanted to fly me along.

I’m not complaining and I know this is still early access. I just wanted to identify some bugs I’ve found to hopefully make it better! Thanks for all of your hard work!!!
