wow

[@johnhtexas]

I had just finished watching "Part 1" which ended around 45:00, and I thought, "Wouldn't having an index of topics and times be extremely helpful?" And then I scrolled down to the comments and saw your post. That took a lot of work on both your part as well as flightsim481. Thanks to both of you. Very much appreciated.

[@SWExplore]

I realize that you had published this video over 6 years ago, but it still very pertinent today. I am very in tune with your method of teaching which makes learning easy and enjoyable. I am a novice pilot learning to fly. Thank you for your thorough explanations of the G1000 which I intend to use to its fullest in X-Plane 12 flying the same Cessna N172SP plane as in your examples. Most appreciative subscribed viewer here!

[@flightsim481]

Glad it was helpful and thanks for subscribing, much appreciated 👍

[@lhartford1]

Possibly the best flight sim tutorial I've ever seen, of any kind. Very useful for my coming on-board with the XP11 Vision jet. Thank you very much!

[@svenbilliau7112]

I'm currently learning about the Garmin G1000 to start practicing on a real C172. I came across this video, and it's really clear and detailed how to use it. Thank you for making it, it was very helpful and educational.

[@petelock5266]

Really informative video with a calm and concise commentary, exactly what I needed. Thank you so much.

[@tjohara947]

Love your video! Of course, your use of British English, different from American English, was quite enjoyable to listen to. Anyway, the entire process was a very valuable learning experience. Thank you.

[@Sorarse]

Great video. Just one point I noticed; at 1:28:50 when talking about adding a waypoint, you say you want to add one after POTON and place your cursor on that, which obviously added it before. You did clarify it a little later, so hopefully no one will end up confused.

[@KD2ZTA]

I know this video is 2 years old but it is still very relevant. Nice job and thanks for spending your time to do this.

[@dermolado3351]

People like you are the reason why I continue to live...for some reason I can learn on my own without a good tutorial like this one. Fantastic

[@thefrog2009]

Just thought I'd mention that PFD is Primary Flight Display (not Pilot's display) and DTK is Desired Track (not Direct Track). And ETE is Estimated Time Enroute not Estimated Time of Arrival, which is a different thing.

[@jimstanley_49]

While you're at it MFD is Multifunction Display (not Navigation Display.)

[@AquaStevae]

We were always taught that it stood for Primary Flight Director.

[@thefrog2009]

But if you think about it, “Flight Director” is only a small part of what it does, so “Flight Display” makes more sense.

[@techtician2726]

@@thefrog2009 You are correct. I misread part of it, and didn't think clearly before replying. Sorry. It is definitely called the Primary Flight Display, and the larger one is called the Multi Flight Display. All good.

[@DownTheRabbit-Hole]

@@AquaStevae Primary Flight Display (PFD) with Flight Director (FD) are 2 completely different concepts.

[@podroger5321]

Thank you, this the best & most informative video I have seen and at the age of 73 I have watched a lot ! Easy to understand and follow, I have subscribed to your excellent channel and will be viewing many more. Things don't sink in as easy at this age!! THANK YOU

[@Sy-T007]

Superb tutorial, thank you so much. Can't believe I watched the entire video.

[@robsonbr1246]

one year later I can say the same.

[@baomao7243]

A++ content. Great job. 👍 As I work toward IFR i really appreciate the full presentation of the key knowledge involved - both for the sim and fuller use of G1000 capabilities using IFR route/plates. Walk through of manual flight plan set up from the cockpit was of particular interest. Thank you. Well done.

[@flightsim481]

Glad it was helpful!

[@007balzak]

A lot to take in! But what a BRILLIANT detailed video. THANK YOU!

Learnt sooo much from this video. New to instrument flying on the G1000 so this really helps. I watch it a bit at a time then practise it a ferw times till it sinks in. Keep em coming. Many thanks.

[@vicrobinson1366]

This is the best tutorial of the g1000 I have seen so a big thank you for the time you took putting all of it together

[@PhilHill42]

THANK YOU THANK YOU! Bookmarked for reference. Very clear throughout. Fastest 2 1/2 hours of my week! Very engaging.

👋👋👋Nice video! Thank you. I had to wait until min 28 to find out where you were!!

[@paddyredmond3039]

A great video tutorial. Followed most of it but just have to go over (and over) the procedures to navigate to the Cranfield NDB. Thank you for your time.

[@cubicmicron]

Thank you for this! You have covered so many interesting functions and included valuable real world experienced pilot practical perspective. This is my initial look at the G1000 as all my previous simming was with the G530. I just purchased the Carenado TBM which has the G1000. It will be a while before I do any planned flights with it, but your video has been very helpful as an introduction and will be a great reference to return to.

[@Alex_ysc]

Thanks for this tutorial. Very detailed, clear , informative and easy to understand. Fantastic tutorial! Thank you very much.

[@flightsim481]

Glad you enjoyed it and found it helpful :-)

[@aedale1]

Hi Richard, I’ve had X Plane since 2017 and the G1000 since it was added, but I didn’t use it because I found it confusing, however thanks to your video I am now giving it a try, I still find that it is not as intuitive as say the Flight Factor A320 FMC but I like a challenge. Thank you once again for a very informative tutorial.

[@jankin880]

just great ,that you are back with as always great videos

[@flightsim481]

Thanks for the kind words :-)

Thanks for this. It's coming at just the time I'm getting back into X-Plane 11 light aircraft, flying around my local airport ELLX (now with great new paid scenery from X-Plane.org). I've also decided to come back to the default Cessna since as a dilettante flight sim guy it is more than good enough for me.

[@piper0428]

I believe DTK is desired track not direct track. Correct me if i'm wrong.

[@olasek7972]

mishmish1968 no more NDB flying in the US, i guess you can count on one hand number of NDB approaches left in the US, G1000 isn’t equipped with ADF for sure.

[@alexiss3522]

Thanks for the g1000 tutorial. I’m really new to xplane. How do you get your aircraft to be positioned at FBO, etc. and not on runway, 3 miles or 10 miles out that the default sets as options? Thank you

[@davidmullet1030]

Can you do a video on pilot2atc and go through the process on how to import and export flight plans with the whole process for a 75 year old who know not much about computers.Thank you

"Dog's grumpy today, I don't know why" lol Can relate to that so much :D Nice Vid anyways! Very informative and clear, really nicely done!

[@stewartlunney6749]

Hi wonder if you could help. How can I get UK airspace to appear on the G1000 MFD, not the upper and lower airspace but just the general airspace as seen in the UK. Cheers

[@flightsim481]

Hi, I think that may be a limitation of the sim but somebody else might be able to help more than I can.

[@stewartlunney6749]

@@flightsim481 Ok thanks.

great video and has helped me greatly. Much appreciated and you have my sub !

[@earlglover6091]

Great video on thing you could do for us new guys is to enlarge the pointer and make it a color like yellow. sometime by the time I have found the pointer you have moved on to other setting.

[@TheSkipjack95]

Goodness gracious, and people say the Tu-154 is complicated. Watching this makes me miss it ^^

[@UnoBadBadger]

Thanks for this bossman, great stuff. I guess the only thing I still have to learn is how to identify what to select on departure routs and airway etc. How to identify what direction they are going etc. Probably sounds stupid. But i'm completely green.

[@bobsr93]

I'm very new to this and really enjoyed the lesson. Concise and clear without unnecessary banter. I have a question, I followed on my sim but then I couldn't turn off the Auto Pilot. How do you turn it off?

[@markrussell.]

Thank You so much for this well done tutorial...Subscribed.

[@claybwagner]

This is what I needed. Thanks!

[@noidville]

Awesome Tutorial...Thank You! Is there a way on the X-Plane 1000 to program a HOLD at a specified fix? I was on Vatsim and they asked me to hold at a fix but I could not figure out how to program it (unlike the default Xplane fmc). I see there is a pre-programmed hold for a missed approach but can one be programmed?

[@dragoclarke9497]

On the virtual cockpit view the PFD doesn't have the autopilot buttons on the left side, but in the pop up window it does. Is this a glitch in the programming?

[@pfv3462]

If you accidentally turned the baro knob during the flight, how can you set it correctly again?

[@MrJmorris49]

Two things. Ref: Xplane 11, Windows, Cirrus SF50 I want to add a Victor airway to a plan. It is grayed out, and, I click the DME softly, choose NAV1, no further display. Do you know how to make these two things happen properly?

[@michelonoff1235]

Looking for challenging airport? Here it is: LSZA, in southern Switzerland. It has a steep, 6.65° straight-in ILS approach and two 5.4° and 4.4° ILS approaches with break-offs followed by circling visual approaches in a narrow valley. The runway has a length of about 900 m suitable for regional turboprop airliners, executive jets and general aviation airplanes. The magnificent region is surrounded by 3 lakes. Aerosoft has a specific scenery for LSZA which comes for free with their X-Plane DVD distribution or which they sell separately on their site but which the X-Plane store also sells. I look forward for a video on a LSZA approach from a pro like you, perhaps with the same C172/G1000 settings ;-)

[@carolinendambuki7172]

[@petergodfrey4174]

Hi, Thanks for a great instructional video. I realise it’s been around for quite a while, but I only found it recently. One thing I didn’t quite fully understand was that during the setup for the ILS21 approach, around 2:04:30 ish in the video there were 4 different iaf’s listed for CIT. You chose CIT2 but didn’t fully explain the reasoning why CIT2. Although I’ve looked at the NATS AIP charts and info for Cranfield EGTC I haven’t found anything to explain the criteria for selecting the correct join. Maybe I missed something. Can you or anyone else who knows provide a quick explanation. Thanks and thanks again for the great video work. Regards

[@flightsim481]

Hi, glad you enjoyed it. As you say, the video is quite old so I can't recall exactly how I figured out it was the CIT2. I think it was by trial and error, loading each SID in turn and comparing the plan view drawn by the G1000 to the Navigraph charts. It's a pain as it does it with quite a few approaches in the UK, but familiarity helped as I flew part of my instrument rating out of Coventry. Hope that helps, Rich

[@experimental_av]

btw you can use your mouse wheel when hovering on the round dials of the G1000, much faster.

[@rolandrayar9336]

great video. Very useful.

[@theflightsimboy4310]

[@suncleTV]

Great video. Btw there is no option to change the clock to UTC instead of local time?

[@flightsim481]

Many thanks. It's a while since I have used it so I'm not sure about the clock time. Rich

[@vikramodedra4351]

One of the best explanation of G1000, 👍👍 just one question about approach what if we are entering with heading between 110 to 142 ?? Holding pattern is not suitable for parallel or tear drop entry as it is clockwise

[@vikramodedra4351]

theoretically to enter this holding while flying between heading 33 to 142 we need to do parallel entry that makes this approach difficult, for heading 142 to 322 one would take direct entry onto holding (or procedure turn ) or should we fly ILS straight for this entry? only easy one is 322 to 33

[@GWAIHIRKV]

Thanks. That’s what I call detail.

[@jakew9887]

Great Video. Thanks.

[@pfv3462]

Can I make a hold in the G1000, and how do I do this? thanks in advance!

[@69GeneralLee01]

Can a real world G1000 or Sim 1000 fly an approach plate on the MFD with the Moving map?

[@Assassin1959]

I have one question on VNav... to start the descent you said you have to turn the alt knob? I still don’t get it and I try to do it following your route and your step by step and still will not descend.

[@ricomon35]

Ok, a 2.5 hour tut is all good. But can anyone tell me if the Op has a section (since his segment timings table is empty for some reason) showing how to set a heading, sync a heading/set the bug, set an altitude, and then have the plane follow that heading and altitude? Interested in setting VS as well, annnnnd where in the 2.5 hour timeline all of that is?

[@nikosgeorgakis6759]

Hello, can you compute RAIM on g1000 xplane?

[@keeleyweston804]

how do you even get the g1000 on x-plane....not got it on any aircraft currently???????

[@Pvt_PandaPear]

Great video, learned a lot. But I have a problem with changing the active leg, when I change the active leg the plane doesn’t fly directly to the waypoint but instead flies way off course, it changes direction when I select the leg but not towards the waypoint. AP is on and in NAV mode, could you maybe assist? What could be the problem?

[@Mr1Spring]

Good question. I have the same problem. I'm following this tutorial and it will not go properly to SILVA (at 1:32h in the video). Using the latest 11.50b17 Vulkan (aug 2020)

[@flpz67]

hi quick question,,,u normally type departure airport. then wypoint around the route,,,,not sid or star then after the route you type final destination. or you tyoe the departure airport, normally it detects where the plane is, then after the slash on the top of the fpl page you tyoe your destination and then on the bottom part of the fpl pafge you add your waypoints, im some kind confused here,,,,if i type for example a star in the destination point, some waypoints of the star are added to the first part of the fpl page, including the final destination and then after that in the bottom part of the fpl page after destination waypoint of the star appear. Its like after my destination the star appear insted of before ....hope u get it,,,fms planning hurts with g1000 i guess , im in between
