Anyone got a picture of the G3X flight director in dual cue mode?

Straight and level. I also switched to this during IFR training and find it easier to glance and see if you’re on target

Thanks guys!
I just wanted to check it was what I thought it was.
After 25 years in the airlines that’s what I’m used to.

Use the Flight Director Setup page in the main menu.

The biggest chalange for me was changing from skypointer to roll pointer.

You can configure the G3X attitude indicator’s roll indicator to either ground or sky pointer. Config mode tho not so not in the pilots guide I don’t believe.

Yes, I know. I don’t fly airliners anymore and fly several other GA aircraft’s, all configured with ground pointers, so I decided to get used to de GP. Sometimes still find myself turning the wrong way.

Switch to the v-bars. It's much more intuitive. It'll take you about 5 minutes to get used to it. The v-bar gets you to make pitch and roll inputs in one fluid movement. I often see people making two separate inputs with the dual cue. My airline also uses the dual cue and when I get into my airplanes I'm grateful for the v-bar. I've had to switch back and forth over my 40 year AF and airline career and much prefer the more modern v-bar.

If you have an AFS EFIS you can also change the flight director between single cue (V bars) or dual cue as well in the EFIS menu.

I’m the same way. I just got my type rating in a Cirrus Jet this past Sunday. I commented to my instructor that there ought to be a “whiny Airbus guy” mode on that fancy Garmin system that makes everything look like an Airbus!
