I can’t activate it as I do not have the vertical menu bar on the Porter with the red button. Take a look at the Milviz Porter manual as well. It mentions this mode, which is presently only working with the stock G1000. But the advantages of the G1000Nxi outweigh that one disadvantage, at least for me. And plus it sounds like the Nxi will be getting this mode soon. Rhett 7800X3D ♣ 96 GB G.Skill Flare ♣ Gigabyte 4090 ♣ Crucial P5 Plus 2TB

The manual (page 211) also says « Vertical guidance in reversionary mode can only be enabled for a direct-to waypoint. » so it cannot be a permanent solution. I programmed a joystick button for a close look at the MFD to check the engine.

That seem unlikely to ever happen courtesy of the way MSFS is sandboxed off from the rest of the OS. Instead, when the NXi is integrated into the base sim hopefully the GTN can implement the advanced navigation features the NXi uses
December 1, 20214 yr 5 hours ago, CaptainNick said: the NXI is much more powerful than the current version of the GTN. No doubt about it. My main issue on deciding on switching over to the NXi now or wait a bit is it current stability, as it is (or was?) still in beta phase. For that same reason months ago I decided to subscribe for a year to the GTN750 premium from PMS50, call it "in the meantime". Thanks!

Oh I see, my post was with continuous engine monitoring; not only start up; in mind. Specially seeing the parameters to tune torque and rpm without "bending" to the right.

Specially seeing the parameters to tune torque and rpm without "bending" to the right. Well yes...that is the entire point of that mode of operation of the G1000, at least I think it is. It's especially useful on the PC-6 since the start/ignition/etc switches are on the left-hand side I'm not aware of anything to do with "vertical guidance" but if it goes into that mode (displaying on the PFD) then that's great I guess :) I have yet to implement G1000 vertical guidance in my own explorations with the Milviz PC-6 + NXi Rhett 7800X3D ♣ 96 GB G.Skill Flare ♣ Gigabyte 4090 ♣ Crucial P5 Plus 2TB

I find very useful in the NXi the lateral guidance and now the vertical guidance for RNAV and visual approaches, even when hand flying. So I will not use the RM then. This is what I understand anyway, not a specialist. Don't take my word for it 😉.
