Hi, finally I got my one too, it's very nice, but I saw it doesn't simulate 100% the garmin G5 right, or am I wrong? Or need I other complementary software? Best regards
@StudentPilot4Life 5 күн бұрын
Nice! What have you found so far that is different from the real G5? As for the software, you need to download from Altimeter Motives website. I already had the plugins installed for XPlane. If you don’t have the SIM plugin, you can get it from AirManager website.

One of the controllers is preconfigured for c172 but if you get the second controller, you can customize it to any aircraft. First controller works out of the box with included software. For the second controller, you will need a copy of AirManager and then you can customize it the way you want, to any aircraft. I have only tried the c172 controller so far.

Thanks for your answer. I really like the idea of a G1000. I assume you really like it? I am hesitant if I should go the two touchscreens+air manager+knobster, the Flightsimbuilder G1000 or even the RSG G1000. Of course the touchscreens and Air manager route would allow more flexibility flying different aircraft and avionics but on the other hand, this looks darn amazing and realistic.
@StudentPilot4Life 4 ай бұрын
I am training for my instrument rating so the g1000 hardware helps build my muscle memory wrt the placement of controls. If I wasn’t using this for training, I would have gone with the Air Manager+Knobster setup for the flexibility and lower price point. The RSG G1000 units are very attractive. Although, a comparable setup with RSG would have cost about $800 more. I assume the RSG controls feel much more ‘premium’ but I haven’t used one yet.

He changed some values in the code and also moved the monitors and centered them below the main monitor to move each screen down. He also clicked the check mark to turn back ON snap windows in settings. Not sure if I'm making much sense here, but bottom line the panels are working! Hopefully Laminar will fix the issue.

Are you waiting out for the Charle pedals?? I am just getting into simming. Have purchased the MSFS 2020 a few days back when Steam had it on sale. My initial thought was to go somewhat budget friendly controller and had in mind on the Beach Turtle VelocityOn Flightstick since I can use all the controls in one device and not have to buy throttle and rudder. Then, I thought more into this and with the limited storage space I have. I will eventually upgrade to better controllers later. So, instead of having many controllers I will not be using and not have room to store them. I am going to get all Honeycomb. I have purchased the xpc yoke. The Bravo is on its way. For the rudder, I was going to get the Charle, but having second thoughts. My desk floor space will fit barely. The Charle is quite big dimension wise. I am looking at the Thrustmaster TPR now. The size reasonable for my case. It's tall but not really an issue. My question is. How is this rudder compare to the Charle. I know the charle isn't available world wide and one a few have them, but I am not convince if the Charle pedals is better then the TPR. Honestly, I would rather go with all Honeycomb lineup, but the space is holding me back. The TPR isn't aesthetic looking since my desk is also a work space.

@ducsue751 I am not waiting for the charlie pedals as I bought the Thrustmaster TPR pedals recently. I have linked the videos below. I had the (much) cheaper Logitech pedals to start with but I did not like that one and ended up upgrading. TPR has been around for quite some time and I have only heard good things about it. Hard to say how the Charlie pedals will compare, but if the TPR's cost is not a concern, hard to go wrong with it. I added the damper mod as well, and the combination is fantastic so far! I have a similar setup - my work desk is right next to the sim desk and I use some of the peripherals with both setups. But it's getting cluttered. I am going to separate them and keep both the setups distinct from each other. Want to avoid looking at the flight controls and getting distracted while trying to get some work done :) Here are the video links if that helps: TPR unboxing: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJfWcqyPfriahac Damper mod: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZmTQpaVtjqiJq6c
