Being able to fly any leg of any approach or procedure. This includes DME arcs, RF legs, holds, procedure turns, everything. As well as fully coupled VNAV and RNAV LPV approach capability.

It does. If you're in Lock interaction mode (the new default), hold the left mouse button to lock to the heading dial, then press right mouse button to push the dial in.

In the Cirrus the displays are darkened.  How do you adjust the luminance of the gauges in that aircraft?

Hmm.   Do you mean in the flight plan list, or the info bar at the top?  Have you detected a notable pattern to this, or does it just seem to happen intermittently?

Here is an example.

Loaded an MSPS flightplan CYCD-CYYJ-KORS.

See the display here:

Does the G3000 mod not work with SU5? 

Tried it. CTD during flight.

The NXi is not related to the G3000. But there is an update for the G3000 for SU5, published yesterday.

CTDs are unlikely to be related to the NXi, since they are HTML/JS instruments.

Right now they're at max brightness all the time, but we don't yet have the brightness control hooked up.

Matt, I am seeing new waypoints appear on my GTN750, TIMECLI and TIMEVERT..

Is this something you guys did?😉

Negative, that would be the stock flight plan system, which we (WT anyway) haven't put any code into.

Count me in with CTD's since installing the G1000 NXi.  Still investigating.

If you guys are getting CTDs still, check your content manager and make sure you 'actually' have downloaded everything.

He makes a good point Matt - just an FYI on a bunch of approaches now seeing those weird identifiers where the FAF or steps downs on RNAV's exist between the FAF and MAP.
