Working Title G1000 NXi v0.1.0
Key features
Navigation
- Completely overhauled flight plan management system supporting all 23 ARINC 424 leg types
- New flyable leg types include RF, procedure turns, DME arcs, and more
- Full real time flight path vectorization and on-map visualization matching the real unit
- Full support of direct-to with proper matching behavior and waypoint sequencing
- Automatic and authentic NAV CDI scaling depending on flight phase (Departure, Terminal, APPR, LPV, etc.)
Accessibility
- Inputting waypoints can be done by keyboard by clicking the input field, and exited from keyboard mode by clicking anywhere else
Vertical Navigation:
- Full VNAV path navigation simulation with correct VPTH arm and active behavior
- Correct vertical deviation indications for VNV active profile deviation, GP, and GS
- Accurate VNAV path calculation from vectorized plan includes path guidance through turns and arcs
- Provides vertical guidance from loaded procedures such as departures, arrivals, approaches
- Full simulation of RNAV LPV approaches including angular distance CDI scaling
- Glideslope/Glidepath preview to easily transition from VNAV descent into approach.
