My god you lot are like vultures, tearing Bobsk8 a new one. There is no need. Sure correct him *if* you think he is wrong, but be firm and polite about it. Offer him your opinion. And remember, that’s all it is, an opinion. Agree to disagree and move on. 
What’s all this ‘what you smoking’ stuff all about? So immature. 

Go back and review the whole thread again.  Tuskin38 did exactly as you asked and politely pointed out his error.  He decided to double down on his completely incorrect assertion.  Several other people tried to point out that what he was claiming was not relevant to this product, but he was not content to leave it at that and went on the offensive acting like everyone else had no idea what they were talking about.  He has a clear bias against the in-game marketplace, and likes to express it in every thread he can.  

Everyone that has used this sim knows the marketplace has definite limitations.  It is not at all productive to repeatedly harp on those limitations in a thread about a product that is testing a feature meant to be incorporated into the main sim.  A product on it's second update already in said marketplace, that is completely free to try, or not, as any individual choses.  He was essentially, and repeatedly, thread-crapping, hence the "vultures".

Do you deselect the keyboard focus (click anywhere on the instrument screen) after entering something? The little icon next to the input field should not be blue anymore.

This didn't work. Still getting stuck. Can't interact with anything on the plane except the Garmin. Only once the problem didn't happen.

Update: Restarted the flight again and the problem didn't happen and I finally could fly and made a successful RNAV approach. Dunno why sometimes it locks everything and I can only interact with the Garmin and sometimes all is normal.

One of the big things that make the NXI great is the advanced flight planning and path calculation capabilities (DME arcs, procedure turns etc.), that are currently not possible in any other instrument across the sim.
These capabilities are prototyped in the NXI, so to say, for them to be transferred to other instruments and/or in the end into the core sim at a later point in time.

As with the CJ4 (that contains our first attempt of our own flight plan management) we will implement the sync back to the sim, but the VFR map will never fully match since the sim doesn't parse the procedures the way we do and therefore doesn't draw them like this. Again, until these things get integrated into the sim.

In your case you did see a path on the VFR map because you had set it up in the world map, so the sim knows about your plan but shows it the way it calculates it.

Awesome and Thank you for the explanation.

One more question if I may...   I noticed that.. again.. pure default settings as before using inbuilt planner...  doing a default ILS approach works fine.. it  captures the glideslope and smoothly transitions to it..  but there is no ILS ribbon showing in the 1000 window.    Is this missing, or is there a different procedure to get it to show?

Heres an image with a default approach to EGFF from today.

Bit of a n00b to the whole Garmin area, when using NAV with AP how do you get it to follow Altitude of waypoints as well?

Currently I'm doing it manually via VS which is fine, but wondering if AP can do it on its own? Thanks

Hi

Currently Vnav path is only available with an approach selected in the flight plan (which has a defined platform altitude)

Ok thank you 🙂

Hi can you explain the difference between the wt 1000 and the nxi, assuming better to get the nxi, also i must say the cj4 mod is brilliant

As far as I can tell you have to switch the CDI source (softkey at the bottom) to the tuned localizer (green needles). As per your screenshot it is handling it as LPV not ILS.
We didn't implement the auto switch yet.

Hard to make a list of that ^^ The WT1000 is now just the stock instrument + engine pages (since the stock 1000 caught up in terms of the features we've added to that mod back then).

The NXI is a new instrument built from scratch reusing zero code from current stock. As I already stated the main draw right now is the capability to do advanced flight planning, also including Airways. And the flight path calculation that is able to parse and calculate all ARINC leg types. Plus the custom autopilot implementation that is able to fly those legs (incl. Holds, PTs). And VNAV! 😉
There was big focus on making it as performant as possible, as well as much attention to detail so it looks just like the real thing.

Since we always focus on navigation features first, it is missing a bit of informational pages at the moment, but that will come over time.

I just flew the famous RNAV (RNP) Z 13R approach at Palm Springs (KPSP) using the Rob Young turbo Bonanza, with the NXi 0.3.0, in VNV mode, and it worked perfectly. This is the first time in any simulator that I have been able to fly this approach. It uses a curving descent path over high terrain using RNP RF legs, with a very precise vertical descent profile required, and the NXi executed it flawlessly. 

I use Foreflight (on an iPad) to track all my MSFS flights, with the XMapsy app as the link between the sim and Foreflight. I have the georeferenced approach plates option, so it overlays the aircraft symbol on the actual approach plate, and it followed the curved path from SBONO to the runway very precisely, meeting all descent altitude constraints perfectly.

Does the NXI support changing from 8.33 mhz com spacing to 25 mhz like the G1000 mod does?  I couldn’t find it so wasn’t sure if it moved in the nxi or just hasn’t been implemented yet.

No, the thread is about that product being introduced to the market place for the first time. We will see if there is an update for it , will it come from the marketplace ? My guess is , it won't. 

You're right! If installed already, I would assume that the updates will be in your PROFILE then updates for any add ons which are available would show there?

Correct, in your Content Manager

Finally had a chance today to get everything updated and go for a test flight. This is what I’ve been waiting for! Nice job WT! 
 

If WT are still monitoring this thread, just wondering what are the CDI sensitivity scales for enroute and terminal. 2 and 1 nm respectively? The CDI enroute seemed overly sensitive, but it could have been the way that I had the flight plan set up simulating a typical radar vectored SID that I get flying out of my home airport.
