    I have been experiencing the same issue. I recently followed the videos recently posted to XPlaneOfficial's YouTube channel about troubleshooting issues like this. I ruled out the rudder pedals (input and flight control position values are consistent with my inputs) and convinced there is something wrong in the airfoil design of the Archer.

    You should be able to confirm similar by a) in flight configuration -> data output, search rudder and set "joystick aileron/elevator/rudder" and "flight controls aileron/elevator/rudder" to display in cockpit, b) start a new flight, c) Shift-8 to set the chase view, d) press Ctrl-m a few times until you see Elemental forces, and d) begin a regular takeoff. I also set video recording to a high quality and recorded to review at low speed.

    You'll see the position of the nose wheel properly aligns with the desired position on the rudder pedals. However, you'll see lateral forces on wheel do not match the input and expectation. However, you will also see significant lateral forces on the body of the airplane. While some of these forces make sense due to the airflow off the propeller, they seem fluctuate considerably and exceed the expected forces.

    I realize that this thread is old, but I just wanted to make sure that those who might be wondering about this issue of being able to place the G1000 on external hardware such as the Aviatek G1000 panels, this does work with my system and the Aviatek Connector software is able to remove the bezels. To see this configuration, here is a link to a video of this Archer TX in X-Plane 12 paired with Aviatek hardware.

    The magneto switches are local variables (LVARs) and the applicable ones are Left_Lower_Magneto_Left and Left_Lower_Magneto_Right. These can be set to off (0) and on (1) but i am unsure if they can be toggled during a button press. (ie: i suspect when you press the button it will either set it to on or off depending on what you have selected). You could use 4 buttons to set Left on and OFF on two buttopns and Right on and off on two buttons but not sure that is what you are after.
