Well, finally after a lot of trial and error with the Garmin 1000, I successfully "shot my first ILS in MSFS"!  I was used to doing it in P3d, but I couldn't get this Garmin to work exactly as I wanted.  I did a simple flight with 3 waypoints from KABE (Allentown) to KERI (Erie) in a Diamond DA62.  I found that my success came from the following:

• Watching as many tutorials as you can to get all the details together
• Reading the forums both here and on MSFS' forum
• Doing a simple flight plan to begin with
• Creating a more detailed flight plan with waypoints
• Being patient and keep trying.  It comes together.  The Garmin works.

Getting a little success like this with a new sim makes you want to experiment with all of the planes and all of the navigation in the sim.  I still love the VFR flying but there are times you just want to take a flight above the weather and have the capability to land in ANY kind of weather.

Great job! I was able to finally figure out how to partially read IFR plates and get some information translated into the G1000.  It was definitely pretty cool to watch the G36 nail a glide slope onto KPIT 28L and pick up the yoke for the final 200 feet.  

 

Now practice it with terrible visibility to see if you can trust it!
