Turboprops are like Warbirds, an acquired taste.

What are the four bar graphs below from the MFD telling me

 

Oil pressure, oil temp, Generator|Alternator, bus 1 and 2 I suppose.

Aaaah, that must be it: I am not a fan of warbirds. 😉 But seriously, I really loved the Lionheart Creations Kodiak back in the day but I simply expected more from this rendition. That's all. Little things like a fake ignition don't help then. It LOOKS awesome, that I have to say! 😉

G 1000 question. Why on autopilot, course is in GPS, I engage Nav and it says I am in Roll mode rather than GPS?

Thanks -- where did you find the information?

Was GPS armed (shown in white) with Roll green?  I have seen the same thing on the G1000NXi in other planes. When a new lateral mode is engaged or changed, I think the G1000 defaults to Roll and Pitch ( i.e., makes no attitude change) as a safety feature in case something was 'hit' or changed by mistake. Try hitting NAV a second time and see what happens.

What I had to do was do a direct to, select the first waypoint, activate it,  and then it went into GPS mode. never had to do that before.

Below excerpt is from the Garmin G1000 manual:

 FLIGHT DIRECTOR MODES
Flight director modes are normally selected independently for the pitch and roll axes. Unless otherwise
specified, all mode keys are alternate action (i.e., press on, press off). In the absence of specific mode selection,
the flight director reverts to the default pitch and/or roll modes.
Armed modes are annunciated in white and active in green in the AFCS Status Box. Under normal operation,
when the control for the active flight director mode is pressed, the flight director reverts to the default mode(s)
for the axis(es). Automatic transition from armed to active mode is indicated by the white armed mode
annunciation moving to the green active mode field and flashing for 10 seconds.

Bob, as Al has indicated above.. NAV mode arms the GPS mode (only), you have to intercept the magenta line to activate it.

This is typically done in HDG mode, but as you found out, you can also force it by creating a Direct-To to the next waypoint.

BTW, this is indeed the way the real unit works 🙂

Thanks, that caught me by surprise.. Got to study this G 1000.

It is indeed confusing, since the default G1000 does not simulate this correctly and teaches bad piloting habits.. 😉

The G1000 NXi from WT is quite nice and it's the thing I like the most about this plane. Unfortunately I didn't need this plane in order to use that G1000 NXi. 🙄 But I'll leave it at this: no need to keep on moaning and bothering you all about 30 euro's lost with Christmas. 😉

Give it some time... it will grow on you.. 😉

I got the nxi version this morning at Market Place, I thought it was different.

I also loved the Lionheart Kodiak, but this one is better... and still on version 1.04..

If the ignition is a bug, I predict it will get fixed.. as I said above... give it time.

Reminder: the compass in the Lionheart version never got fixed, and yet we happily flew it all over the place.

It is completely different.. especially flight plan management.. much to discover!
