Simionic G1000 (MFD)

I have been using SIMIONICS Flight simulator products for the last two years. This product uses Bluetooth and WiFi technology to connect to X-Plane 11,12; P3D v5, and MSFS 2020 effortlessly. I am presently Beta testing the G1000 PFD and MFD NXi that will soon be available to the flight simulation general population. I also have used FlightSimGear products which will deliver your flight simulation immersion as well. I’m just super impressed on the technology behind the SIMIONICS panel products which allows me to duplicate my lessons after I leave the airport.

Wanted it to see if I can use the mixture. Was a waste of time and money wish I can return it and get my money back

Bought the PFD months ago, and so happy with the results, a definetly recommended tool to improve your skills with the G1000, and become a master with thr real system while airborne.. Today I’ve bought the MFD, as I want to improve my skills on it, and also so happy once exploring all its functionalities The only problem I am having is that there is no way to pair both iPads, as despite being connected to the same local network, neither the PFD detects the MFD, nor the way round:( Any clue how to troubleshot that? Thank you!

I don’t have the PFD app. I have a RealSimGear PFD and purchased this to use as the mfd. it won’t work without another iPad running the PFD

This app would be ok, but unless you have two ipads and get the PFD app on one this won't move the airplane. I have bought both apps on one iPad and that won't work. The MFD is a waste of money. Plus the directions are horrible and difficult to even find.

The app itself is great, but the WiFi connection with the PFD is incredibly flaky - I frequently have to spend 5-10 minutes trying to get them to connect, usually mid-flight too.

I got this device to help transition from 30 years of flying steam gauges. Most flight sims don’t include the aux menu so I bought this product to review the cockpit instrument check. The FMS “knob” is so difficult to use it’s almost useless. You need to hit the iPad screen repeatedly just to get the menu to appear, then it disappears before you have a chance to pick your selection. Is there any way to adjust how long the FMS “knob” remains active? If it was user configurable, or if you simply doubled the amount of time the knob was active, MAYBE it would be worth 4+, but as of now, it’s a solid 2.

I passed the G1000 checkride yesterday in a Cessna 172S NAV III, transitioning from steam gauges. The Simionic simulators were an invaluable tool that I highly recommend to anybody wanting to learn the G1000 to fly an actual aircraft. Every single task the CFI wanted to see me perform I was able to do without any hesitation or problem. Thanks to Simionic for an excellent learning tool!

To enable single iPad usage, it would be a lot nicer to connect the MFD directly to the sim without needing the PFD running as well

This is a great app and seems to emulate the G1000 very well, however I find the controls are way to difficult to use. Given that the iPad has a keyboard why not use the keyboard for entering waypoints?? Or at least make the plus and minus buttons when you press the knob should stay up for at least 5 seconds instead of the approx half a second currently. If it used the keyboard for entry it would be a 5 star app. Also agree with previous comment re making available for Cirrus Vision Jet. Would definitely purchase that option.
