I'm not having a CTD, but it's also NOT installing for me ... there should be a SYN VIS button in the G1000, but I have nothing?

Rob, I have the Piper PA 46 Meridian 500 TP with the G1000 and I'm not getting the SYN VIS button either.  I also have the Carenado SR22 and the Phenom 100 and they too are not showing the SYN VIS button.

I was able to resolve my issues:

1.  re-download the aircraft (they should say V2.1)
2.  re-installed SVS (stand alone version)
3.  removed duplicate entries in DDL.XML versions (if you have two DLL.XML files)

<Launch.Addon>
    <Name>CMeteoXml</Name>
    <Disabled>False</Disabled>
    <Path>.\CMeteoXml.dll</Path>
  </Launch.Addon>

<Launch.Addon>
    <Name>Carenavigraph</Name>
    <Disabled>False</Disabled>
    <Path>.\Carenavigraph.dll</Path>
  </Launch.Addon>

 <Launch.Addon>
    <Name>WebSimXML</Name>
    <Disabled>False</Disabled>
    <Path>.\WebSimBrowser\2.1\64\WebSimXML.dll</Path>
  </Launch.Addon>

Verified the following aircraft are working with SVS:

C208B GRAND CARAVAN EX FSX/P3D
50P PHENOM 100 FSX/P3D
NAVIGRAPH E50P PHENOM 100 EXTENSION PACK FSX/P3D
EMB505 PHENOM 300 FSX/P3D
NAVIGRAPH EMB505 PHENOM 300 EXTENSION PACK FSX/P3D
PA46 500TP MALIBU MERIDIAN G1000 FSX/P3D
NAVIGRAPH PA46 MERIDIAN EXTENSION PACK FSX/P3D
SR22 GTSx TURBO FSX/P3D
TBM 850 HD SERIES FSX/P3D

Just make sure you don't change aircraft (select vehicle within the same P3D V4.x flight session, you will need to exit P3D and then select a different SVS aware aircraft).

Cheers, Rob.

Does does a real C172 equipped with a C1000 include this feature?

Here is a real C172SP for sale with SVT: https://www.controller.com/listings/aircraft/for-sale/21669997/2016-cessna-172s-skyhawk-sp around $300,000.

I was actually looking into the cost of a C310R ownership and wondered if a G1000 with SVT could be installed, but it looks like a no go due to the electrical power limits of the C310 (circa mid 70's) ... it might be "possible" for the G1000 SVT in the C310R but as I understand it the entire electrical system would need to be re-worked (along with other items) pushing costs well beyond $130,000 used price.

So if you looking for a real world aircraft with a G1000 SVT and higher speed then the next pump up (in price) is probably the SR22 Turbo: https://www.controller.com/listings/aircraft/for-sale/22074597/2017-cirrus-sr22 but it has less payload than C310R.

But to answer your question, the SVT/SVS is used in many G1000 based aircraft.  Here are a few videos in use RW:

With pathway enabled SR22:

The rent-a-wrecks I've used are "old school" also, nothing close to an SR22 in terms of tech and performance.

Note the resolution and smooth display on the real unit

Actually doesn't look a lot different to me but it is capped at 20 fps as I recall ... FYI the SVS configuration tool that comes with offers various resolution settings (5 or 6 of them I think) but no option to increase frequency of frame updates.  

But like I suggested earlier ... note the cost of a Titan XP and 7900X+ :)

Cheers, Rob.
