G1000 NXi
A high-fidelity reimplementation of the G1000 NXi integrated flight deck for X-Plane — Primary Flight Display, Multi-Function Display, and the NXi page groups pilots use every day.
Detecting your OS…
Standalone shell
External PFD/MFD windows over UDP — multi-monitor ready.
Vector rendering
Layout and behavior from public documentation — no copied bitmaps.
Active development
Work in progress — features are being completed iteratively.
Primary Flight Display
Attitude, airspeed, altitude, HSI, radios, inset maps, and NXi-style annunciations.
Integrated PFD with HSI Map
Full tape displays, trend vectors, wind, bearing pointers, and the HSI Map layout with terrain shading.
- HSI Map, Map, and reversionary layouts
- COM/NAV frequency management and ident
- Autopilot and flight director annunciations
Traffic Map inset
ADS-B traffic on the PFD with range rings and traffic symbols matched to NXi symbology.
- TFC inset in the lower-left of the PFD
- Full Traffic Map page on the MFD
- Traffic from X-Plane ADS-B / GDL90 datalink
Nearest Airports window
Pop-up Nearest Airports list on the PFD with identifiers, bearing, and distance.
- NRST window over the HSI Map layout
- Full Nearest Airports page on the MFD
- Bearing, distance, and approach info at a glance
Multi-Function Display
Navigation map, engine strip, and every major NXi MFD page group.
Navigation Map
Moving map with terrain, airways, flight plan overlay, and map setup options.
- TER topo, relative terrain, and aviation chart layers
- Airway labels and procedure course lines
- Map range, orientation, and detail controls
Engine Indication System
Per-aircraft EIS strip on every MFD page — gauges and electrical readouts from a plain-text .eis file. Bundled profiles include the Cirrus Vision Jet SF50 and Cessna 172.
- Drop-in ICAO-keyed files — no rebuild required
- Creating a new EIS is simple: copy a bundled profile, rename by ICAO, and edit gauges and dataref bindings
- Hot-reload while the display is running
Flight planning
Build, edit, and activate routes on the PFD and MFD — with live sync to X-Plane's FMS.
Active Flight Plan
FPL page on PFD and MFD with leg editing, airway insertion, and enroute course lines on the map.
- Flight Plan Catalog with stored routes
- Live FMS bridge — read and write X-Plane's route
- Airway picker and route modification
MFD flight plan & weather overlay
Enroute editing on the MFD with map-linked course preview, VNAV altitude constraints, and flight-plan weather data.
- Leg list with cursors and softkey actions
- VNAV ALT column — designate constraints for vertical guidance
- FPL weather information pages
Vertical navigation (VNAV)
Plan descents from designated altitude constraints — the FMS builds a 3° flight-path angle profile to each target, with guidance on the PFD and map.
Active VNV Profile
Designate an altitude on the FPL page (cyan VNAV ALT column) or press ENT on a published restriction. The Active VNV Profile box shows the target waypoint, descent rate, flight-path angle, and time to top of descent.
- TOD and BOD markers on the navigation map
- VS target and VS required readouts
- Path deviation once past the top of descent
- Altitude constraints sync through the FMS bridge and SimBrief import
PFD path guidance
Within one minute of the top of descent, the PFD shows a magenta vertical-deviation pointer, target altitude above the altimeter tape, and required vertical speed on the VSI.
- TOD countdown in the navigation status annunciator
- VPTH vertical-path mode for autopilot path tracking
- Approach glidepath supersedes VNAV on final
Direct-To
Activate Direct-To to any waypoint, airport, or lat/lon — with map inset and FMS write-back.
Direct-To entry
Ident entry, waypoint type selection, and course preview before activation.
- PFD and MFD Direct-To pages
- Map inset with course line
- Programs to X-Plane FMS when bridge is active
Procedures
Departure, arrival, and approach procedure selection from CIFP nav data.
PROC selection
Choose SIDs, STARs, and approaches from the MFD Procedures menu with NXi-style options.
- Departure and arrival procedure pickers
- Approach list with transitions
- Hold definitions including published holds
Approach procedures
Approach course preview on the map with transition and runway selection.
Hold procedures
Published hold procedures with entry and timing preview on the map.
Nearest, traffic & obstacles
Nearest Airports
NRST page listing nearby airports with bearing, distance, and approach availability.
Traffic Map
Full-screen traffic scope on the MFD with ADS-B symbology and range control.
Map obstacles
FAA obstacle symbols from the Daily Digital Obstacle File — white, yellow, and red hazard bands.
Airspace & navaids
Full NXi map symbology for airports, VORs, NDBs, intersections, and airspace boundaries.
Weather
NEXRAD on the map
Precipitation overlay from X-Plane's ADS-B / FIS-B datalink — same path as Connext or ForeFlight.
- Map Opt → NEXRAD toggle
- Simulator weather only — no internet radar fallback
- Declutter range under Map Setup
Weather Radar page
Onboard weather radar display when the aircraft is equipped — separate from the datalink overlay.
- WPT → Weather Information (METAR / TAF via ADS-B)
- Weather Radar tilt and gain controls
Waypoint information
Airport and waypoint detail pages — runways, frequencies, and weather sub-pages.
AUX & checklists
SimBrief OFP import
AUX → SIMBRIEF signs in via Navigraph and fetches your latest operational flight plan.
- Standalone: saves to Flight Plan Catalog for activation
- Plugin: activates route immediately in-sim
Electronic checklists
MFD Checklist page group with groups, items, and ENT/CLR check-off — from drop-in .checklist files.
- Bundled Cessna 172 and Vision Jet samples
- ICAO-keyed files — no rebuild to add an aircraft
- Hot-reload while editing
Navigraph charts
Airport chart view on the WPT page when signed in to Navigraph (requires live sim session).
Hardware bindings
Every bezel key, softkey, and knob bindable — stock G1000 commands and xplane_avionics/*.
