For those of you familiar with the G1000, you should have realized that Carenado has simplified the operation of the transponder which takes away from the innovation of this feature. Given the numerous mods for other products, I was wondering if it was possible to modify this feature to be a bit more realistic with the various options such as STBY GND ON ALT etc

I'd say the transponder is far from the only thing that's been over-simplified.   Yes, I believe it could be fixed and I have some code I was working on to accomplish that, but I'm still waiting on (hopefully) another update to the Navigraph pack to fix the major issues before going any further with that.  

 

Every time I communicate with Carenado I strongly emphasize that we (the community) all know they will continue to use their same G1000 and Pro Line 21 in future add-ons, and that it would be best to spend the time to get it right once in order spare future trouble, but that doesn't seem to speak to their motivation.
