MSFS: G1000 NXi Update 0.2.0 - Airways, North-Up Map, Brightness - Microsoft Flight Simulator

[@workingtitlesimulations6132]

A few more fun quality-of-life features of keyboard focus mode: you can enter keyboard focus mode by clicking anywhere in the input box where the letters go. You can also exit from keyboard focus mode by clicking anywhere else on the screen. These two things make it a bit easier that trying to hit the icon, which is necessarily a bit on the small side.

[@richardcaunt6691]

That works for me, certainly clicking on the icon doesn’t. Thanks

[@minobg79]

So glad Working Title pushed this on. NXi is a must have. Looking forward for more to come.

[@riflemusket]

Thanks for the video showing how to set the map to “North Up”!

[@Topcat1952]

When it comes to understanding how all the MSFS systems work, "You da man!" Excellent and thanks!

[@Sanctimonious007]

pushing the keys and dials is a friggin nightmare on this one! i found the previous version easier to handle!!

[@stephenmason5682]

Much obliged from the UK!

[@Sebastopolmark]

Kip, you are off to a great start. At this time 2,500+ views, 240 likes and ZERO thumbs down lug nuts. Thanks and keep the vids coming! !! !!!

[@jress9967]

Thanks for the easy to understand videos, much appreciated!

[@mrwjs]

Excellent video. Thank you.

[@deepredson]

Thank you so much. So happy that you enjoy doing this. Much clearer now, and less spent on headache pills.

[@GumperVanLier]

Excellent video, Kip. You explain things well.

[@davidh7280]

Great improvements towards real world functions. Hope WT can implement the engine functions soon.

[@gunterschneider8944]

Excellent, thanks for explaining the new features!

[@jabes136]

Great content. Easy to understand. Thanks for taking the time to educate us.

[@symol30872]

Great tutorial as always. Thanks for taking the time to put it together

[@TractorMonkeywithJL]

Is there anyway to make the numbers and text bigger with this new G1000? I have a hard time seeing it compared to the default panels. Same thing with the G-3000 from Working Title. Lots of new cool features, but everything is a lot smaller.

[@mauriciomorro6693]

Looks great but how stable is this thing? I have had one CTD since I started using msfs I dont wanna ruin the whole thing

[@KipOnTheGround]

I'd say it's stable, and if for some reason you end up disliking it or crashing due to it, it's easy to uninstall via the Content Manager within the sim. I think it's worth trying if you use the G1000 regularly. VNAV is amazing!

[@njyde]

I'm so glad this is available on Xbox. Only mod that improves avionics atm.

[@joshfredr7846]

Great video. thank you !

[@ronholfly]

Thanks for video, I have had problems with my Logitech panels since I updated my G1000 NXi update 0.2.0 the panels are locking up, I have tried restarts but still the same, everything was working perfect until that update.

[@brunogt1982]

Thank you 🙏🏽

[@ronkiripolsky258]

Kip, I just purchased and downloaded a new package for the C172 Skyhawk to get the G 1000 NXI for the first time. I was going to use it with your tutorials. I know sooner the airplane in the inventory and I added it to a flight to and from Sedona. Before I could even takeoff for a spin before trying to download it onto a separate screen boat screens went off. I shut down the program restarted it was OK until about 5 to 10 minutes and then both screens went off again. Am I doing something wrong or is it something that I forgot to do in the download, can you help thanks, ron in San Diego

[@Ahmedblaser]

Are the map options fully available in 0.7? I don't find them...

[@JenniferinIllinois]

I really like the new NXi. However I had to remove it until the next version to a complete freeze of the sim when it switches to approach mode (no CTD, just freezes up). I know the WT folks will have a fix out soon because, well they're WT. ;)

[@jakew9887]

Great Video. Thanks.

[@domprimo4562]

Hi Kip thanks for the great video's. I can't seem to access the nearest waypoints in the same manner like the regular G1000 version. Would you know how to access them in this new version of the NXI

[@KipOnTheGround]

Not yet, but they're adding new things in every update, so it's only a matter of time :-)

[@nick11927]

Hey Kip, do you think you could a tutorial on the Working Title G3X? I believe it's only used in a couple planes but it may be a decent video topic.

[@russgaffneyflightsim]

Kip, Can you pop out the NXI and move it to a separate panel? If the answer is yes does it also pop out the bezel as well? I'm curios if I can make it work with my Knobster.

[@KipOnTheGround]

Yes, you can hold the right ALT key (has to be the right-side one) and click the screen to pop it out, just like the vanilla G1000. It doesn't include the bezel, just the display.

[@userDFboeing]

is it going to be possible to manually change the altitudes of procedures and STARs cuz sometimes altitudes are not accurate regarding the charts ?

[@KipOnTheGround]

Yes, eventually I think we can expect this capability since the real G1000 can do it :-) For now though, we're unfortunately stuck with the constraints are in the sim's navigation database. You could try using Navigraph's FMS Data replacement to help the issue for now, but it requires a paid subscription.

[@georgesiebes]

Kip! This is good. Hey, struggling with getting flight plan and ILS approach setup after I enter the flight. Don't want to go back to the start menu for each flight.

[@donaldmccloskey9443]

Thanks!

[@KipOnTheGround]

Thanks Donald! 🤑

[@paulphibbs7162]

Had trouble setting Track up the other day. The PDF always stated HDG Up even though the menu listed Track up.

[@thelastpilot4582]

I loaded a flight plan from the world map but the rout heading was about 341 and the garmin was showing heading of about 220. deleted updat and used the old Garmin that worked fine.

[@bankabled]

Thank you.

[@mikehackett7470]

Flying right seat in a cessna 182Q with civil air patrol....my pilot tried to be nice and turn up the brightness on my becker direction finder and turned a knob he thought did that....about 5 seconds later bothe the PFD and the MFD went black....I said "Turn that knob back will ya?".....if you flip a switch and don't like the results....flip the switch back :)

[@TormodSteinsholt]

How did you know which airways to set? Do you see airways on the map so you can see which one suits you?

[@KipOnTheGround]

It just depends on your planned route. SimBrief is a great sim flight planning tool I use constantly: www.simbrief.com/

[@forzaracer1428]

Can you make a video for Stay on Target achievement with the updated gps please, thx.

[@capitancairlblandford5785]

After this update the VFR map is noy diaplaying the flightplan

[@kentbrookman]

Will the classic G1000 Working Title Mod keep getting updates?

[@KipOnTheGround]

They just made a small update to what they're now calling the "legacy" G1000 mod. I don't think they plan on making major updates to it, since the NXi will be the future default MSFS G1000.

[@lukeorlando4814]

So I’m stuck in heading up and I do not like it. I figured the fix was under menu map setting. But I have no blinking blue box. I can see the option. But I cannot select anything they are all grey

[@KipOnTheGround]

Try pressing the inner FMS knob to activate the cursor. It should be on by default when opening that menu, so maybe you have to do it manually right now.

[@KevsChronicles]

So glad they made this available to xbox users too, would be great to see this same company do a G3000 upgrade for the TBM and for MSFS to get more planes with the G3K cockpit…

[@after_midnight9592]

G3000 is already updated by them.

[@KevsChronicles]

@@after_midnight9592 is it the default for the TBM 930 in the game or is it an add on to be downloaded? If the latter not showing up in my available downloads so not being offered to Xbox users…

[@after_midnight9592]

@@KevsChronicles it's available for download on Working Title website. Its not on the marketplace like NXi.

[@guitarstuffs1236]

@@KevsChronicles Yeah not available on the Marketplace yet. Have to download it online. Limitations of Xbox. Plan is for them to overhaul it the same way the NXi is being done, so you’ll probably be able to use it in a few months.

[@WhereintheWorldisJosh]

For some reason when I highlight that Origin field to enter Origin/Destination and press the FMS knob it doesn't bring up the Waypoint Information screen but instead just rotates the map. Any idea why that might be?

[@KipOnTheGround]

Hey Josh, once you have the cursor turned on, turn the inner FMS knob to start entering the waypoint. Pressing the knob again will turn the cursor off.

[@KipOnTheGround]

Thank you, this was doing my head in 😜😜😜😜

[@Sanctimonious007]

this GPS model is much more cumbersome than the previous one! why cant the Garmin guys make it more easy to operate?? 😭😭

[@HoundDogMech]

The real problem with flight planning (In Real Life) is one should be able to put in a departure point and a destination and based on the aircrafts configuration and weather a if a VFR or IFR flight look up any prefered routes then looking at winds aloft along the route of flight plan pick intermediate stops and suitable alternates based weather & FOB.

[@KipOnTheGround]

That would be really cool. For now, we have SimBrief at least for our use in the sim :-) It does look up the weather at both airports for the route it suggests. Pretty cool stuff.

[@jsemmelify]

@@KipOnTheGround What would you use to get the winds at the destination airport to assist in selecting the runway to land (closest to upwind)?

[@Sanctimonious007]

hey KIP my OBS is greyed out how to get it back on nXI???

[@KipOnTheGround]

OBS hasn't yet been functional on the NXi, but it'll likely be in the next update (0.6.0) as the WT team has posted a preview of OBS working on their Discord server :-)

[@Sanctimonious007]

@@KipOnTheGround 😕

[@Sanctimonious007]

hope you are feeling better...

[@belevezero2279]

how do you get the knobs to highlight blue like that

[@KipOnTheGround]

It’s part of the new “lock” style “interaction model” that came with sim update 5. If you switched back to legacy mode, you don’t get the highlighting. You can change the setting in General options / accessibility / pilot interaction model.

[@forzaracer1428]

Is this update for Xbox, PC or both?

[@KipOnTheGround]

I think both, but I don't know for sure since the MSFS team didn't include this in their weekly Marketplace update (where they mark whether it's PC, Xbox, or both). Maybe someone else in the comments with an Xbox can answer that though.

[@armymanal]

cant get my plane to follow gps nav lately. anyone else got this issue?

[@KipOnTheGround]

If you got the latest update there’s new criteria for getting NAV mode to arm, you need to manually (or use HDG mode) to fly to the course first before NAV mode will activate.

[@armymanal]

@@KipOnTheGround your a legend thanks

[@chittychad18]

So still no vpath?

[@KipOnTheGround]

Yes, you can use VNAV/VPTH mode in autopilot if that's what you mean. You can't edit the VNAV altitudes in the flight plan yet, but it will load them in with the procedures you choose. Expecting that we can eventually edit those in a future version, though.

We identified an issue when TOD is being calculated that can freeze the sim. Sorry. Will be fixed with the next update hitting very soon.
