Hi CoolP, I have the WX500 Gauge from Reality XP and I have substituted the WX successfully in my PA-46T Malibu. The click spots are slightly out but if you have cockpit tool tips on whilst using it for a few times it's OK.

I also have the TBM850 and the G1000 are similar. Yes you can load a saved Plan-G exported to FSX, then loaded at flight time. If you load the flight plan before you start the plane(s), I always start Cold & Dark, the route should show up on both MFD map & PFD inset map when switched on. Opening the flight plan on the MFD will show the fp as if entered manually and it can be manipulated as far as possible to the Carenado G1000 manual. BTW I don't care much for WAAS, mainly because I do most of my flying outside of the USA. Anyway what's happened to good old ILS & pilotage! Also it's only another overhead to slow down processing (I don't have the RPX GPS for that reason). For non ILS airports I set up in Plan-G user way points as an initial guide to the airport. Surely not relying on WAAS & ILS is all part of the flying experience specially for bush pilots. More two pennorth I'm afraid, bye for now.

You mean to say other people have bought this lovely aircraft! Your humor isn't any different to mine it appears. I do shut down the the MFD and open the engine gauges and inset map on the PFD, as it makes life easier when landing. I do the same on takeoff for the same reason. I don't enter flight plans on the MFD as I use Plan-g to plan my route and I don't see why I should spend valuable flying time inputting the flight plan a second time! Also I have a problem with entering in the MFD as below. I have two faults that I have already sent to Carenado: 1. I get double letters entering into the MFD fields using the keyboard, e.g. enter E get EE. 2. The sun visors when lowered cover about 1" of the windscreen, not helpful when flying into the sun. Overall though I am please with this plane, but I suppose I have now opened a can of worms. Probably get all the gripes about frame rates, G1000 not like real thing etc. (same old same old). I don't care really if I have, its only a simulation after all. I for one like the latest Carenado offerings, but please do more QA before release of new aircraft. There that's my two pennorth, Bye for now.

Thanks fppilot, I had already contacted Carenado support about the G1000_config.xml file before your post and got this reply, quote You could just create a folder in the gauges folder with that same file name "CAR_G1000", copy every file in the .cab file in there and then make all the necessary modifications. Don't forget to delete or remove the CAR_G1000.cab file from that folder (we advice to make a backup of said file before attempting to make any alterations). end quote. I have tried it and it works! But do do do move the CAR_G1000.cab file somewhere safe to back it up. Best regards, Nigel

Thanks for that. BUT how do you get the edited file back into the cab please! I managed to extract the file (using WinRAR) and edit it to set new defaults but I do not seem to be able to get it back in the cab file. Help please. It seems that Carenado don't make it very easy to set defaults for this plane, it's a shame because it is a good plane. Carenado should make the xml file more accessable if they want people to be able to set new defaults as suggested in the manual!!! Help please.

In the Carenado G1000.pdf it states "NOTE: Defaults for startup values of most these setting can be changed in the G1000_config.xml file.". OK, Fine but where is this G1000_config.xml file? I know how to edit XML if I can find it. All I want to do is set up some default to save me having to change the map settings every time I load the aircraft. Any help please? Also has anyone found the TIT gauge has stopped working, mine has I only noticed it when using the lean assistant. the digits work but the slider is stuck on zero. Any Ideas? Thanks, Nigel
