Top Features of The G3X Update 9.21! (UPDATED! SEE DESCRIPTION)

[@MidwestPanels]

Garmin released new G3X software v9.22 to address the VP-X problem mentioned in a previous comment. All G3X customers can download today!

[@ibgarrett]

Great overview - I can't wait to start really digging into all of this... soon... very very soon.

[@davidwoodward6112]

Great information! Thanks for taking the time to do these!

[@JimDorn]

Great job Adam, really in depth, appreciate the info

Where are you sourcing your master caution and warning switches from and are they dimmable? Will you sell them for retrofit purposes for already built panels?

[@MidwestPanels]

Yes we can sell them, They are not dimmable since the ground is controlled by the GEA 24, we wouldn't want to dim them anyway as this could cause them to not be seen if dimmed too far. With the new update you can extinguish them anyway.

Super helpful, thank you!

[@kevinphillips9408]

Great informative video. Thank you

[@martinrenschler4046]

This new release was pulled for now because of issues that need to be resolved, so we need some patience to actually try it.

Hi. Im wondering if you can explained how to calculate a K-factor for fuel flow? Whats the proper formula on the G3X. I’m using Electronics International FT-60 sensor, and the formula I found is [G3X reported fuel used] x [previous K-factor] ) / [actual fuel used] but this it seems this formula is not accurate. I’m wondering if there is another way for calculation! Many thanks

[@MidwestPanels]

That is the proper way to do it. Be sure you are replacing fuel to the exact same level, that is the most common error.

[@Garminator]

Great Video thank you 😊

[@MidwestPanels]

As a few have mentioned, the release was pulled back, there was an issue found within the VPX portion os the software so hang tight, this will be one of the better releases we have had in a while.

[@luckymacy]

Are caution and warning acknowledgements from the panel now separate discretes? I did not find a wiring diagram on Garmin’s website yet that defines this but their ops manual alludes to 3 separate discrete inputs which I’ll copy here. Can you explain what all 3 are now doing? ‘Remote CAS Acknowledgement - Three new discrete input presets were added that facilitate the remote acknowledgement of Caution and Warning level CAS Messages.’

[@MidwestPanels]

@@luckymacy the 3 possible discrete selections will be Caution, Warning or Both in the case of a single button. So yes it will be possible to have individual acknowledgements if you have 2 independent buttons.

[@PatrickMichalina]

What is the normal gap between certified and experimental update channel releases? Certified software channel still at 9.15.

[@MidwestPanels]

There is no measurable time, it’s all about the certification process.

[@Jara_Ko]

Hi, nice. Question about switches under PDF, What type is it ? thanks

[@N937LC]

Did this new upgrade remove procedures? I used to be able to load a GPS procedure without a navigator installed

[@warrenmassey4029]

Please advise if there is a way to increase the font size for the airspeed and aLtitude on he ribbons. As an older pilot quite a few of these digital figures are really hard to read. Many thanks. Warren - South Africa

[@MidwestPanels]

Unfortunately there is not.

[@pilotavery]

The FAA mandate to minimum font size and says if you have trouble reading it you shouldn't be in the cockpit anyway. Personally I think that's a shit rule because experienced pilots brains fill in a lot of information but that's just what the FAA says

[@samcowell2768]

Do you build production aircraft panels? Specifically Comanche 250

[@MidwestPanels]

We can cut coat and etch the panels but we do not do certified avionics.

[@diegoglasair]

Hi guys, any chance to have model of master caution and warning annunciator? Thanks

[@HZigelsky1]

Hallo from Germany. Today I did an update and I have a lot of problems. Update 9.22. ANot receiving GPS navigator RS-232 data, Not receiving GTXTIS A RS232 data using internal GPS flight plan for navigation. Red X 8 AIRSPEED FAIL, ATTITUDE FAIL, So, do you have any idear what it is wrong? Thanks a lot. Best Regards

[@MidwestPanels]

That is a strange problem, if you boot into config mode and go to System Information see if everything is communicating. Also check the RS-232 page to be sure the settings are still correct.

[@HZigelsky1]

@@MidwestPanels We believe the GSU 25 is defective because it no longer makes contact with the gdu, we ran the update again and also tried an downgrade.

Waaaaaaaaaay too much bs for a single engine airplane…. Everybody wants to fly a Boeing 777… foolishness…
