As the v5.1.0 are released for PFD&MFD, taxiways are now visible on maps. Also, in this version profile view for terrain is add in MFD. Engine gauges and paging actions are also updated according to the “modern version” of G1000.

Updates for PFD and MFD have been released. Navigation database is now updated to cycle 1902. Synthetic vision is released as an IAP item for the PFD. And, 2 new icons are used for PFD and MFD. Have fun!

According to user’s report, it is recently discovered that temperatures in engine parameters(CHT, EGT, oil) output by X-Plane are not confined to a certain unit(Fahrenheit or Celsius).  It seems that those temperatures are just numbers to X-Plane and X-Plane doesn’t really care about the values.  The actual units are only related to the aircraft models.  To make the temperature values using the right units, the latest G1000BridgeX v2.2 reads .acf files(the file of the aircraft modeling) and get the units from the file.  Ok, here is where it’s getting complicated: It seems the unit settings are not always indicating the right units in the .acf file(this also confirms X-Plane doesn’t really care about the units for those temperatures).  So, if you are already using G1000BridgeX v2.2 and seeing temperatures not making sense to you, you need to modify those unit settings in the .acf files manually.  Do as the following: Find the .acf file, it should be some where under “Aircraft” folder in your X-Plane folder with the file name similar to your aircraft’s name.  Open the file in a text editor, find lines look like “P acf/_oilT_is_C 1”, “P acf/_CHT_is_C 1”, “P acf/_EGT_is_C 1” for unit settings for oil, CHT, EGT temperatures.  Change the last number to 1 or 0 to indicate the value is in Celsius or Fahrenheit respectively.  Good luck.

This update includes a bug fix which was crashing the PFD when selecting waypoints in the direct-to or terminal procedures dialog.  Also within this update the first twin engine aircraft Beechcraft Baron is added as in-app-purchases.  Further improvements will be continuously added in.

A lot of improvements have been made in this update.  However, first thing first, to connect PFD v4.1.0 with FSX(X-Plane), G1000Bridge(X) v2.0 is required.  Details about this update:

1. Connections between PFD and MFD, PFD and FSX(X-Plane) are now made automatically by default.
2. Autopilot has been improved tremendously: Pitch control of the autopilot is much more stable even used on faster airplanes; Tracking localizer and VOR radial is much more accurate and smoother.  Autopilot master switch is now synchronized with FSX(X-Plane).  So if you have set the autopilot disengage button on your yoke, now it’s gonna work.
3. Additionally, to adapt more aircrafts, airspeed tape is now customizable by setting V speeds, no more airspeed limit now.
4. COM selection and audio selection on the audio panel(if installed) are now synchronized with FSX(X-Plane).  Audible morse code of the nav ID and marker beacon are added into PFD as an enhancement for running the apps in stand alone mode.
5. When connected to FSX(X-Plane), PFD and audio panel(if installed) will turn off when the battery switch is turned off, MFD will turn off when the avionics switch is turned off.
6. When dialing a waypoint, the default initial letter will be set according to the current region.
7. Bug fixes: crashes on iPad4; COM synchronization failure with FSX(X-Plane).

After some delay, the audio panel is finally ready.  With this gadget, the G1000 simulator is finally complete.  Purchasing a whole set with 2 bezels and 1 audio panel is also available in the shop as a single item.  Hope you enjoy it.
