FSX/Garmin G1000 question
« on: January 09, 2008, 09:04:35 pm »
Now I'm running FSX on my new PC, I'm testing FSFlyingSchool (Google it, quite fun). While on a demo flight, the instructor asked "What is the altitude of the destination?" In my FS2004 install I'd have pulled up FSNavigator and read it off there, but how can I find it in a pretty much stock install of FSX while flying? I would have hoped that the G1000 would tell me somewhere, but I'll be blowed if I could find it...

Any hints from those that have owned/run FSX for longer than I?

You can still open Map :) That contains runway data as always.

Went to Garmin's website and downloaded one of the many G1000 Pilot Guides and found it in there... I'll not try "reprinting" the instructions here (it's a whole page in the manual, and you'd not get all the lovely diagrams), but it's on page 7-78 of the Cessna Nav III pilots guide.
