Aircraft with Glass Cockpits

[Art_P]

When I flew real airplanes they didn't have the G1000 so I am very uncomfortable flying the aircraft furnished in MSFS with glass cockpits. While I could get used to it, I can't read the screen information without zooming in and then can't control the airplane at the same time. The manifold pressure and propeller speed indicators for the Baron especially suck. Then when I fly, there is "Caution" flashing at me in the alert section, and I don't know why. When I landed at the end of the flight, the engines quit as I touched down on the runway.

 

Developers need to quickly produce versions of these aircraft and others with analog gages. Otherwise, I am going to get tired of flying the classic C172.

Absolutely right

 

Just search this forum with the title "Glass" it has been widely commented

 

One of the funs of flightsim is to recreate the planes we flew, and usually this relates as the verb implies, to the past, and nearly all planes were analogue.

 

Outside USA, most of the GA airplanes around the world today are all ANALOGUE

 

And thou flying with just a Garmin is modern and cool in real life, in the sim its not, cause its just an Ipad style monitor that takes a great parcel of your monitor. Its a sim inside the sim.

And the graphics of the Garmin are basic just for reference, similar to those in FS4

 

So its not far fetch to say that by flying alll these experimental little planes that are already compact and small with a solo Garmin that takes the whole cockpit, by staring at it the whole time you are actually simming in FS4 (sarcasm)

I watch the Natgeo Accident Mayday, or Youtube analysis...they are all from these planes above.

Want to recreate that situation? I cant...those planes dont exist yet

Three to add to your list, A Dash 8 100/200 for small regional airports, a 737-400 and 737-500, and an ERJ175. I mostly fly out of smaller regional airports, and the 737-500 and ERJ175 would be great for those airports.

Adding insult to injury. I see one aircraft add-on for a C182 from Carenado with only a glass cockpit.

 

The G1000 might be made to work if a secondary display of engine instrument information could be displayed separately on a second monitor. I don't see any way to undock anything except the VFR map. Does anyone have a solution?

After checking the default aircraft in MSFS Deluxe, my opinion is that the following are difficult or impossible to fly properly due to poor instrument visuals:

 

Citation, Grand Caravan, King Air, TBM 930, A320, DA40NG, DA62 & VL-3.

 

The Bonanza was one G1000 panel aircraft with readable engine instruments.

 

The CTSL and Savage Cub brought back fond memories of flying with only basic instruments, except I recall having a turn indicator for instrument flying.

 

Now, can someone tell me why I continually get a flashing "Caution" on the display for the Baron and Bonanza?

The caution is probably a gear down warning, you can cancel it by clicking the button below it.
