We don't currently have an app/simulator for the G3X Touch. However, if you have a G3X Touch system, you can boot the system in demo mode on the ground. To boot the display in to demo mode, hold down the Direct To button on the display during power up. We run demo mode on our kiosks during the airshows.

When you are in demo mode, you can place the airplane in any position on the map by touching the map, and then holding down the Direct To button. In the main menu, there is a simulator icon which allows you to simulate winds, airspeed, and altitude. This is a great way to familiarize yourself with the system before first flight.

Thanks,
Levi Self

Default Excellent Update

This is a good update. In particular, I very much like the checklist update, which I used daily.

Separately, every now and again, I was getting "trim up" or "trim down" alerts when flying along in cruise since updating to v6.30 last year. This struck me as odd considering the unit has auto trim - it was as if the servos would be delayed in auto trimming, but the system would eventually trim itself out after a few seconds. It seems that error has been eliminated now. I'm not sure if there was specific update for this, or maybe it was just a reset of something. Either way, I'm much happier now.

This would be awesome! Didn?t know GRT had that feature. Yes please team X.

Thumbs up Great Upgrade, and

I wish we could turn to the checklist screen like the Map, Charts, Waypoint, WX, etc. ie. by rotating an outer knob. Having to press Menu twice and then select Checklist?

Please don't add a page that we have to scroll through and is redundant for the many who don't use electronic checklists. An better way to accomplish quick access for those who do use them is to offer "Checklist" as one of the User Fields that always appear at the top right of the display.

Or a user configurable option to make it a page.

Default Poition Indicator

I know for the PFD we can get the position of flaps, elevator and roll trim but anyone know if we can add a 4th indicator. Or else add separate position indicators for the 2nd EFIS. I want to know the position of my linear actuator for the oil flap valve.

Default GMA350 MARKER Lights on G3X?

Can I connect a GMA350 with the G3X Touch and have the MARKER Lights displayed on the big screen or does this update support the GMA342 / 345 only?

My preference is the GMA345 but it doesn't feature 'Telligence' (operating the GTN75X/62X by voice commands) which I find useful when flying IFR..

Thanks,

All of the integration for the GMA 350 will be through a GTN Navigator.

Thanks,

Justin

Justin,

That means no MARKER OMI lights displayed on the G3X
No com frequency swap with discrete input
No display of active freq of selected com in green (upper bar)
-correct?

What other functions would I miss if I go with the GMA350c instead of the GMA345?

Does the RS-232 interface to GMA 342/345 allow to control all the music distribution and audio panel features via the G3X screen like the CAN interface does with the GMA245?

Thanks,
