I will preface this by saying that I have never used Mindstar's G1000 in any aircraft before.  I am hoping to get some feedback or thoughts from those more knowledgeable than myself about the feasibility of using this product with the Phenom.  There are limitations to this that I understand.  Namely, I understand that it could be used via 2D popup panels only.  This is fine for me, given my multi-monitor setup.  Secondly, I understand that there is no Phenom-specific G1000 currently implemented in the Mindstar product so it would be more "generic".  When I turn off the Phenom PFDs/MFD, I actually get acceptable frame rates.  My hope is that the Mindstar product would not have as big of a performance impact.  As a bonus, the Mindstar product is  able to be updated with current AIRAC data.

 

My question is primarily what do you guys think about this possibility?  Secondly, I understand that the Mindstar product comes with its own autopilot.  Is this able to be used in aircraft like the Phenom as a substitution for the default autopilot, thereby potentially also providing a true FLC feature?  Anything else that I am missing?

 

This might not be feasible, but I'd rather know that ahead of time before spending the money.  Thanks!

 

 

i know this question has been asked before with previous carenado aircrafts, and i dont think it is, but even if you could im not sure that there is a compatible MFD display with jet engine parameters from mindstar

Thanks...I know that there is a Citation Mustang model built into the Mindstar product, which is obviously not the same thing but at least in the same neighborhood.  I don't know how well it would work in this case, though.
