Thank you all for your effort on beta testing, the new G1000 NXi app is finally available in Apple’s AppStore. It’s been 12 years since the first release of the previous G1000 app. Enjoy the new app!

Congratulations Li ! I’ll be purchasing my copy today,

Thank you so much!
Thanks Li.
Will be purchasing mine this weekend. I assume works ok with your previous bezel model (9.7″) (ie bluetooth connections?)

Yes the new app will work in the 9.7 iPads and in the bezels, I tested the new app prior to purchasing it and now seems crashfree in my setup, had to upgrade my old 16GB 9.7 iPad to an iPad with more memory just to cover capacity capable to run the new app and any updates. It has an in app purchase as well to customise engine parameters etc to match aircraft you fly, for me that’s the Citation C700, Airbus A20N, Beech B350i, Boeing B78X I know those aircraft don’t use the G1000 suites but it’s absolutely fine for situational awareness and immersion. I have contacted the developer about customisation feature in the new app and the trouble I’m having with it.
Cheers hope this helps. KP
Thanks Keith.
Greatly appreciated.

Hi Li, just purchased the nxi app after final testing of the beta version and receiving no crashes and so stopped testing the app. After purchasing and downloading from the App Store I tried customising previous aircraft configs from my earlier app in NXI PFD but as soon as I touch customization the PFD app crashes, it did this also in the beta app and I thought that because customisable settings wasn’t available in beta testing it was causing crashes then, any ideas or answers. Are others enquiring on the same crashes?
Sorry, it’s confirmed that the app will crash when purchasing the customization option. I will fix this soon.
Thanks Li, no problems, thanks as always for your prompt responses I’m sure everyone knows you won’t let us down, keep up the great work.

Great News!
Are all Standard g1000 Aircraft of msfs2020 supported?
It has nothing to do with whether the aircraft has a built-in G1000 or not. Theoretically it works with any aircraft.
The app will be available only for ipad? The reason im asking it’s because my self made g1000 uses standard hdmi screens, instead of ipads. Your g1000 seems a lot better than the default msfs’s g1000
Yes, it’s iPad only.
Hi!
Do we need the Bezel to use the app ? or it can works using only the iPad without Bezel ?
Thanks,
No, it is not necessary.
I Just purchased the NXi app.
I want to try to be positive, but these are my initial experiences, even before trying to make a first flight.
Issue 1) When selecting the Bexel for the PFD for the first time, I just see two serial numbers, and there’s no way to know which one is which. (I can’t read numbers on bezels that are already mounted in a custom panel) There needs to be a way to identify which bezel is which i.e. be prompted to press a button or combination of buttons on the bezel to either identify or preferably select it, instead of selecting a number from a list.
Issue 2) Pressing the ALT knob on the PFD bezel (to display the engine instruments on the PFD screen) switches the MFD back to the PFD screen. Pressing the ALT knob again removes the engine instruments panel from the PFD display and reverts the MFD back to the MFD display. This shouldn’t be happening. It can also lead to the MFD app crashing. (Happened more than once)
Issue 3) I already purchased the customization feature in the old G1000 app. It’s a little disappointing that I have to re-purchase the feature again. The bigger issue is that NONE of my custom aircraft profiles are in the list? How do I restore my 37 custom profiles? Will Neil Hewitt’s Custom Profile Manager work with the new app? If not, this is a major setback for me.
Hi Todd,
Thanks for your feedback for your questions:
1. The bezels are always listed as bluetooth UUIDs. Same in the old apps. You can cut off one of the 2 bezels when paring to identify which one is which. Or just guess, there are only 2 of them anyway. Once paired you don’t need to do it again. They will be paired automatically ever since.
2. Yes, pressing the ALT knob brings the PFD to reversionary mode. It’s not a real function on the real G1000 system. It’s just a favor for people who only has PFD running and want to see the reversionary mode. In other words, that is a function that shouldn’t exist. Since the reversionary is implemented in the NXi app, users should press the red button on the audio panel to set both PFD and MFD to reversionary mode.
3. Yes, it’s a new app that looks me years to develop. Thanks for your support.
Hi Todd, in answer to issue 3, restoring your custom profiles, I had to do the same by logging into Neil’s profile manager and the profiles I created was when flying FSX and the parameters in FS2020 are a little different so had to do a bit of tweaking so that everything matched the performance between the Simionic NXi settings and in sim values matched, I see you’re in there also, and well you may have already done the same since it’s been a few days since your post so disregard this reply if that is so.
I was perplexed too and not being able to use the in app purchase from the orig apps and roll it over the the current one but at $2.99 USD extra I’m happy with that. Anyway hope this setback for you is about to be or is resolved, safe flying.
Regards Kiwi Air PIC
Issue 4) With the old apps, I could open both the PFD and MFD apps at the same time on my iMac and the two communicated with each other. Now that both the PFD and MFD are in the same app, I can’t do that anymore. I can’t launch the same app twice on the same computer, and there’s no way to open more than one window at the same time within the one app in order to display both the PFD and MFD at the same time.
This is true. I hope there is a way that one can launch 2 instances of a same app on MacOS. But I think it’s worth it to have both FPD and MFD in the same app instead of running them both but with 2 apps.
Bought the new Nxi app and the Customization add-on, which works fine now. I used the Simionic Custom Profile Manager to copy the ACCustom.db from the G1000 to the G1000 Nxi without any problem. Thank you, Li Chen.
I connected my PFD iPad to my computer via USB, opened iTunes, opened the PFD iPad in iTunes, selected the NXI app, and manually copied my G1000 ACCustom.db file to the NXi app, and this restored all my custom profiles to the PFD iPad, but this didn’t restore them to the MFD iPad, and this isn’t using Neil’s Custom Profile Manager software at all any more.
Neil’s app only reads and writes to/from the old G1000 PFD app on the iPad (or to/from a file on your computer disk) With the old G1000 app, I only had to update and select a profile on the PFD iPad app, and the MFD app was automatically updated and configured to be the same.
Now it appears that it will be necessary to manually update BOTH copies of the NXi app on the PFD iPad AND on the MFD iPad using iTunes only, and then have to SELECT the same profile separately on BOTH PFD and MFD iPad NXi apps. This is now double the work and twice as error prone, since you have to update and select the profile on both iPads.
Am I missing something here? Can someone explain how they are using the Custom Profile Manager to connect to the new NXi app, or if they are just using iTunes as a workaround to manually make the updates?
Hi Todd, it’s the same as the old apps. You only need to build the profile in PFD. It’ll be synced to MFD when and only when they are connected.
Multiple presses of the bottom left bezel soft key arrow for the Engine menu causes the engine instruments gauges to keep moving up and become compressed vertically. This is with the bar style engine instruments (C700 Cessna longitude profile)
Looks like you found a bug. But I cannot reproduce on my side. Can you please send me the profile or shoot a short video and send to me at lichenpo@hotmail.com? Thanks and sorry for the bug.
