Request - G1000NXI Option For Future Black Square Aircraft In Development
-
note that a Kingair has the Proline 21 or fusion now, not Garmin avionics !
so pls if you want to do a more modern variant a PL21 would be great.@mikesimpilot the G1000/G1000 NXi is a very popular retrofit for the Big King Air, all but one of the six that I flew regularly IRL were G1000/G1000 NXi with the odd duck being Fusion Touch (also nice). The Blackhawk conversion that puts 1200 shp engines on the B350 requires the G1000 retrofit for example. I'd love a BS B350 with the G1000 on it.

While I have no current plans to add G1000 support to my aircraft, the most likely candidates would be the TBM and the King Air. I will say that I have a future aircraft planned to include glass panel avionics, but I was leaning towards the WT G3X + GNS 750 combo that I have in the velocity, as this more closely resembles the upgrades done to this particular aircraft in the real world.
Since I love seeking the advice of my users, what do you all think of the WT G3X + GNS 750 vs. WT G1000 for a GA aircraft?
@Black-Square Hello Nick, a King Air 350 by Black Square with G1000 Nxi would definitely be a day one purchase for me! I’ve already quite extensively modded it in MSFS2020 to make it work with my G1000 cockpit but if I could get it out of the box for 2024 I’d be very happy!

Everything would be dependent on Aircraft. For example, in the Caravan or King Air which are frequently used by commercial operators, a G1000 option would be welcome as many of these airplanes in commercial service are equipped this way, and the G3X is only certified for piston aircraft.
For the TBM850 as well, the G1000 was equipped on later aircraft from the factory, whereas we don't have the option of a G500/G500txi which is the most common retrofit on the pre-G1000 aircraft, so I'd rather see a G1000 as the glass panel option here.
That said, G1000s aren't something you can retrofit on most piston aircraft, so in this case if you wanted to offer a glass panel option the G3X + G750 would be the obvious choice.

Speaking of panel retrofits - I did just find out that there is essentially a G1000 retrofit for the Commander 690B, if you did want to offer a glass cockpit option for it. Info here:

@Black-Square I would love the Turbine Duke with the G3X! Although in the real world it would have to be the G600TXi, the G3X is sufficient for the simulator

@Black-Square Maybe I’m the odd one out, but any all glass cockpits would mean no purchase from me.
I’m kind bored by every aircraft looking the same. Analogue cockpits are also what I flew IRL for many years, including Cessna 400 twins, Caranans and King Airs, so I have a huge soft sport for this type of aircraft. I’d be very disappointed if you drifted away from that. Even a GNS530 is a bit to much for me, let alone the GTNs, haha.
I dearly love the King Air (especially the B200
), and secretly hope for an all analogue KLN-90B equipped aircraft, in addition to the fantastic KNS-80.Alternatively, I’d also really like a “semi glass” King Air, with EFIS-85 avionics, including electronic ADI, HSI and the Universal UNS1 FMS. But that’s probably as modern as I go. It certainly has more character and is much more interesting to operate than just another G1000 aircraft.
Again, I’m probably an outlier, but I just think this is very cool
.
Thanks for the amazing work.

@Black-Square Yes, PLEASE PLEASE add the G1000 to the TBM 850. This model is my favorite GA aircraft and I've been waiting for the G1000 options as I've built a lot of home cockpit hardware based on this plane for FSX, including the overheads switches, etc., but nothing is available for MSFS. I vote for the G1000 option! I do use your analog 850 and love it, but I prefer the G1000 and would gladly pay for this option if needed.
Thanks! -
Wanted to throw this request in...
It would be absolutely stellar if consideration was made to include a Working Title G1000nxi suite as an option for the upcoming aircraft in development. Don't get me wrong, I prefer the six pack, but if it wasn't too much trouble, I would be willing to pay for an addon in addition that adds the existing working title glass in to the panel of appropriate BSQ addons.
My own personal reasoning for this request is simply to use the BSQ aircraft to keep RL proficiency in the G1000 suite.
Cheers
@Buzz and for those craving a G1000 aircraft, I can say the COWS DA-42 is quite realistic and very underrated. There is also the FSR500 (M500) for higher performance that works well in msfs2024, but I can't stand the flight model on that thing without heavily tweaking sensitivities...
