![]() ![]() ![]() Flight Sim X does differ from the real G1000 in at least 3 ways: 1) The sim autopilot is the same in all three airplanes, but in actuality, these planes use 3 different autopilots, 2) There is no FPL key for entering a flight plan instead, Microsoft provides flight planning software that loads a flight plan into the G1000, 3) the MFD does not include the many screens found in a real G1000. You will need a DirectX 9 compatible video card, such as those sold by Nvidia or ATI, and we're told that the bigger the card the better, as this is a graphics intensive program. One nice feature, if you have two displays on your computer, is that you can display the PFD on one screen and the MFD on the other display (if you don't know what the PFD and MFD are, consider buying our G1000 Handbook or G1000 CD-ROM Course). The system connects to your PC via a USB cable and comes pre-loaded with the RealSimGear drivers for easy 'plug and play' operation (no configuration required). The PFD and MFD each contain a dedicated 10.4' high-quality HDMI display. The deluxe version retails for $69.99 and includes three airplanes, the Beechcraft Baron, Cessna 172SP and Mooney Bravo with G1000 cockpits. The suite includes the G1000 PFD, MFD, and GMA audio panel. We haven't tried it, but people tell us the deluxe version of Flight Simulator X, released in October, 2006, includes the Garmin G1000.
