Garmin g1000 simulator for mac update#
Finally we have this major update for the G1000 apps, the v6. We were very busy to bring out our new hardwares as well as the software. We’ve been quiet for a while during the past few months which are very anticipating months since people are waiting for the brand new FS2020 to be released, so do us. Yet we decide to keep the price unchanged for now. The new bezel is actually costing more than the old one because of the increased complexity of the manufacturing process. We do care the details for our products and this is the best we can achieve. Thus the feeling of pressing the buttons will be a little lighter and shallower than the old one. One thin I’d like to mention is that because we need to design the new bezel to be much more compact inside to accept bigger iPads we have to change the buttons on the circuit board with smaller ones. With a bigger screen it looks even more close to the real G1000. With a lot of work on redesigning this product we finally managed to make a bigger opening to for the screen and more space for bigger iPads to put in while keeping the outside dimension exactly the same as the old one. Being the best selling product of ours, it’s now renewed as a new model which is fitting 10.2-11″ iPads. I hope you guys enjoy!Īs some of you have already known, we decide to discontinue the old G1000 hardware bezel since it’s for 9.7″ iPads which Apple is not selling any of those for a while. There are also lots of improvements and bug fixes in this version. To show the keyboard shortcuts, hold the command key(⌘) on iPad or select ‘File->Show Keyboard Shortcuts’ in the menu bar on Mac. Keyboard shortcuts are also available for manually fly the aircraft on PFD whereas only accelerometer inputs are accepted before. Now All the apps on iPad and MacOS supports keyboard shortcuts for all the G1000 knobs and buttons. And, every time the database is updated, no matter online or offline, it’s highly recommended to re-launch the app.

Again, manually update the database offline is not recommended.

For Mac apps, select the new database file by selecting ‘NavData->Import’ on the menu bar. To manually update the database, drag the new database file directly into the app’s folder. For iPad apps, database file can be seen under the app’s folder in Finder(MacOS) or iTunes(Windows) when iPad is connected to the computer. Not recommended, but users can also do this offline, copy the database file manually into the apps’ folders. New database will be downloaded online and extracted within the apps. Users can also initiate the update check for the database manually in the settings window. The apps will check database update every time they launch and show a message to ask users to update the database if there is a newer one available. We will be publishing the navigation database regularly.

I will see whether there will be a way to make the apps run on older iPads again later.Ī good news is from this version on updating the navigation database is decoupled from the apps’ update. Any iPad models earlier than iPad Air won’t receive this update. The down side is that the lowest iPad OS version required to run the apps has been raised to iPad OS 12 which makes iPad Air the bottom line. The benefit is that we now have those 2 apps also available in Mac App Store.

Unexpectedly, switching the graphic engine makes this update the hardest one for me ever. A major change in this version is the graphic engine moving from OpenGL ES to Metal because Apple has abandoned OpenGL leaving their own Metal the only choice. After months of coding, the V7 for both PFD and MFD has been released.
