- Transform your sim experience! It just works. My first look and test using the G1000 unit from FlightSimBuilder. I was impressed previously with the GNS 530/430 previously, but this takes navigating to another level.

For the serious simmer and enthusiast! After experiencing the GNS 530 I was keen to try out the G1000 and it didn't dissappoint. Flying mouse free seemed so natural.
Very jealous; I hope to try these one day.
@@Huddison , hey great to see you here!
I'm a great fan of yours too!
Both Mark and you are legends, whom I follow avidly.
Thank you Mark for reviewing this product. As always, you have been able to explain all the details and highlight all the potential of the product with a language that even a child understands. You were so good that you convinced me to place the order. I ordered 2 panels plus the central audio panel with its metal supports, in short, the complete kit. The order total plus UPS shipping to Germany was $1,613.36 which is approximately €1,460 or £1,276 at the exchange rate. To this sum I will have to add the VAT which in Germany is equal to 19% and perhaps other customs taxes..
I am an ATPL student and flying hours cost a lot. I currently fly the DA-40NG which is instrumented with the G1000. Soon I will start the IFR flight lessons and I will have to know how to use the G1000 very well. In fact, if the instructor judges a flight mission in a negative way, I will have to repeat the flight lesson (we are talking about €500 per hour..) It is self-evident that having invested this sum in this hardware will certainly lead me to save a lot of money, since learning all the functions of the G1000 is not quick and easy.
The possibility of being able to interact with the simulator with this hardware, instead of just using the mouse and keyboard, is priceless. And let's be honest, when we invest in hardware peripherals for our PCs to use with our simulators, these are the components that we very rarely replace. For example 11 years ago I bought my Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog and it's still here with me, still running like an original Swiss watch.
Thanks again Mark, bye and see you next video!
@@Denis076 best of luck with your training 👍
@@SimHangerFS Thanks a lot Mark 😊
Thanks for your tutorial, just ordered myself both PFD and MFD
Mark.Thank you, great review, they really do look like very well-made bits of kit to add the flight sim. Pity they are so expensive.
Compared to other alternatives these are incredibly cheap
A much cheaper and more versatile solution is Air Manager with a knobster. Been flying mouse less for years with this solution. It overcomes the cost issue and means you are not stuck with only the G1000 which is great if you like to fly other aircraft types such as one of the many steam gauge aircraft.
THANK YOU SO MUCH i had no idea there was something like Knobster... this is exactly what i need for flying vr
This guy basically does advertisement videos for manufacturers. I don’t trust anything he says
Great presentation.... Great Idea... Thank you... Roger.... Pembrokeshire
Your video still helping people! About to set up the FlightSimBuilder G1000 suite with honeycomb A&B, logi pedals. Set into a #FlightVelocity panel. All running to 3x 55” LG 4K TVs. Appreciate the simplified walkthrough. It calmed my nerves - been dreading this last part before up fully operational. 🙌
Just made my first pruchase of the G1000, referenced SimHanger as my motaviation. Thank you Mark, for the excellent information. I wish you a Great Ho, Ho, Ho.
Very nice panels indeed. A nice step up from my small touch screen device. A little pricey for me at the moment, but certainly something to sim for. Thanks for the video Mark.
Thanks very much again Mark for this excellent review. I fear I won't have enough place on my desk since I already have my CockpitMaster 737 CDU+MCP+EFIS panel. Flying the G36 with these G1000Nxi is certainly fantastic.
Sincerely yours
I run a triple monitor set up so the G1000 would show up as a fourth I recon. I have Propwash sim panels for AP, 2 radio's, Transponder, PWS 530 GPS but these look magnificent!
Fantastic bit of kit. I have already purchased the G530 although still waiting for delivery, but a pair of these really look like the next purchase!! Great review Mark!
Great review Mark, I am also using the G1000 dual set, but from SimGauges, I love to fly IFR procedural approaches with G1000 set. It is great for learning and practicing real-life scenarios in a sim before the real flight.
btw. the MSFS g1000 is becoming great with each update.
Agreed, we are getting very close to full functionality 👍
For the backlit buttons and plug and play software, IMO priced quite well.
Merci ! Pour cette présentation, et certes cela doit être beaucoup plus confortable pour la simulation.
Once again a pleasure to watch your review. Right now all my money goes into getting my RL PPL, but this is sure worth talking a serious look at
Super bit of kit, I can see this selling well. Great review, Slainte Mark 👍
wow , that is amazing
I have 2 of these, I'm really happy with them. I agree with others, would be cool to have a discounted option without a screen.
The screen is the cheapest part. The discount would be minimal
Find a desk keyboard elevator… one of those standing desks, that goes on a table to elevate the keyboard and monitor… it makes a great stand for these in front of the monitor.
Another bonus, when you raise the stand, you can mount the yoke just under it to help hold it in place.
Yes, I’m also considering an under-desk mount for my Alpha & Bravo.
@@SimHangerFS mine is mounted above the desk. It is covered with a standup desktop computer lift.
Place the yoke and throttle under the keyboard section and lower the lift to the top of the yoke. I use the Alpha yoke and throttle.
I then place the dual G1000s where the keyboard would go, and the monitor set to just above the G1000s. It is the perfect convertible desktop simulator.
Bonus-
If you mount your rudder peddles on a Drive Pro Stand, you can have your fighter throttle and stick up and usable in seconds by just folding them up or down and out of the way when you want a change of control system. I do this for VR. Works great.
They also make a keyboard desk attachment that swings out of the way. I put my keyboard on it, and mouse on the open mount platform for the drive stand. It provides a mouse pad right in front of the Alpha yoke.
Everything can be moved out of the way in seconds to make the room into a standing VR entertainment room.
With a circular mat so you know where you are standing in VR.
@@SimHangerFS The Thrust Master rudders are still the best on the market because dirt doesn’t fall into the sliding mechanisms of all the others. (I have tried them all) Drive Stand makes the best convertible flight control mounting system. You can remove controls and fold the posts down, then slide the rudders forward to use the Alpha yoke and throttles.
I have a seven channel USB port for the G1000s and controllers. It is mounted next to the monitor lift for easy exchange of controllers.
All of this is on a cheep IKEA basic white table that can hardly be seen with everything mounted to it.
I don’t want a single type cockpit set up because I fly so many different planes and helicopters.
This lets me change quickly if I get board with a type of aircraft, civil, military, helicopter… DCS, MSFS, X-Plane, etc…
@Mark, thanks for the wonderful review!
I've been experimenting with SpaceDesk and a tablet, but nothing comes close to this beauty!
Spacedesk is excellent for the G5000 in the Longitude
It looks like a fantastic panel to add to any sim pit.
Cheers Mark. Not sure the panel expense is value for money for me. Also dont have two spare graphic ports as I run triples already.
Was hoping they'd sell one without a screen for VR users. I can see enough through the nose gap to know what buttons I'm pressing and would love one of these.
I agree, I use VF g100 bought before switching to vr, you quickly get use to finding the switches. Wince at how much it cost but still use with screens turned off. A cheaper bevel only option would be popular, perhaps g3000 also?
I just recently purchased the GNS 530 and it hasn't taken me long to get used to locating the buttons and knobs in VR. I'm so glad I bought it as it makes things so much better, especially for Vatsim flights.
Great review Mark! This does look amazing, something i will consider in the future but not right now.
Touch screen(s), Air Manager and Knobster. Effectiveness, cost and flexibility are unbeatable today!
Ah great, I was hoping you would come up with a video on this. Thanks a lot, this is now on top of my aniwic-list (acquisitions not involving wife’s irrelevant consent). Great video, thanks!
😂
Love the acronym ✈🛩
it looks so great 😃
thanks for the review. been thinking about getting one or two of these for a while - but cringe when I see the pricetag. Saw your earlier review on the smaller model and have been considering that as well. Thanks for all your posts and videos - always learn something. :)
Lovely and genius! Thank you for sharing 👍🏼
One more item to my wishing list 😂
Fantastic stuff, I really need to use this for my setup. And plans to get my PPL are starting to spring in mind…
G'day Mark -- I had a good look at the G1000 but at 1042USD this converts to 1650AUD and I feel at this price point I will continue with using my mouse. I know it is all "relative" but for the "average" flight simmer it is a bit rich.
Fair enough.
Thanks for this been looking for something like this.
looks really good. will think seriously about this
Looks great, wish I had rage skills to do it.
Great review Mark !!
I have definitely gotten my money's worth of the G1000s that I bought (form one of the competitors - hehehe). I use them for aircraft running G1000s, G3000s and airliner MFDs (or any other status screen that pops out). Plus I use the buttons on one of the displays for the EFIS.
Works fantastic in X-Plane 11 and 12. MSFS, not-so-much.
Perfect review! Buying a G1000 is something I think about since a few weeks, your feedback helps a lot! I just need to find the amount now (or to make my wife understand that this is needed...)
….ahhhh yes, getting the partner to understand priorities…the eternal problem 🤣
🤣🤣@@SimHangerFS
Thanks Mark.
Fantástico.
Nice review Mark, as usual. I would prefer a stand alone device on a networked pc to take as much load off the FS pc as possible.
Check out the Simionic G1000
@@gorillaglue1302 I've seen it. Wonder if a combo of FlightSimBuilder with Air Manager would work.
Lovely bit of kit but sadly still outside the price range of the casual simmer 😢
@Tony F, my thoughts exactly! Sigh!
$1000 each… more for people using them to learn the systems.
They really do help
I do not play any flight sims but this video was really well made.
Thank you 😊
@@SimHangerFS no problem at all! I'll certainly watch more in the future.
ohhh Look at Youuu going all high techie fancy nancy and of course another Good Video Thank You
Thanks Mark. I was impressed with this avionics addon since it first appeared some time ago. Very expensive and doesn’t fit with a wide range of aircraft. This is why VR appears a better all round investment (for me anyway).
I have two… these really make flight sim a training tool
Wow
I have played MSFS flights sims since version one also done 40 hours ppl flying and flyed solo its taken 20 years for tooling to become affordable for hobbies companies make these type of devices. I also fly in vr but do like the idea of these being able to tocuh, am moving house and a room will be dedicated to flight siming yes a room lol.
Nice video. Thanks.
I fly vr only. Would be nice for a no screen option.
This looks amazing. Can this be used as a separate monitor btw? I'm curious because that way you could use Air Manager and place other gauges in the screen instead of the G1000 and remap some buttons and rotaries using SpadNext (which is amazing btw).
Yes you definately can, note the resolution however, but good enough for gauges.
I guess since these screens are not touch as far as I know only AirManager gauges that dont need manual input like ASI would make sense to use as an alternative to the G1000. OBS, VOR, altimeter that you would use a knobster for obviously would need mouse input instead.
WOW very cheap compared to Real Sim Gear for 2 panels you saved $700.00 it's a lot of money. Thanks Mark.
Mmm….not sure how you worked that out……RSG individual panel = 999 compared to FSB = 1034
Thanks for another useful video Mark. Just wondering how I can integrate them on a DOFReality rig😊
Just challenging here. Wouldn't a MFD and two stream deck for the same price wouldn't be better if you need more flexibility?
Sure, subject to the variety of aircraft you fly, it’s a matter of authenticity and personal preference 👍
thanks again....
Nice product, but quite expensive. Some day
Would this be useful to use it in VR? sure .. no need for the screen.. but what about the tactile feeling and controls?
Feels great!
Hi Mark. Do you know if I have to duplicate the MFD in the device in order to run it? The question is because I need only the buttons when using the VR set and I would like not to load the computer CPU/ GPU with another display. Thanks for the video.
No you don’t 👍 it is configured to control it, with or without display.
Wow, that looks like a nice device :-) thanks for the video. Does this also work with the G1000NXi?
Yes
Compatible with series X?
My same question.
Mine too, I was wondering if this is the sort of thing the WASM update would finally allow?
Sorry not at this stage. Hopefully continued development of WASM will change that, but nothing firm at this point.
It never will. XBox does not support multiple monitors.
@@caskraker very valid point….I stand corrected…👍
I have never been able to pop out panels from MSFS 2020 and Microsoft cant help me so I would be nervous about investing in the Flight Sim Builder which are understandably expensive.
I like the price since it’s about $250 less than the competition 😮
Mmm…Not sure about that…..SimBuilder: PFD + MFD screens + audio = 2514. RSG: same combination = 2199 (formerly 2486)…….competition cheaper……
How to delete a flightplan in the Flightplan Catalog?
Do these units block the line-of-sight between your Tobii and your eyes?
Depends how you mount your monitor. In my current setup my monitor is on a gas arm so I can raise and lower it as needed.
the only thing i have grips with why cant fhe usb be used to power
@@dotnetdevni yes, an extra cable needed, due to power required to run what is effectively a small monitor.
I would love to add a couple of these to my MSFS, but I already have 4 screens and I don't know how to add 2 more monitors that I'm sure they act as. I have a 4090 GPU.
The 4090 can only support 4 monitors
Hi I am looking at getting one of these and want to mount it in a cutout in my cockpit. I am confused by the dimensions of the unit vs the cut out needed to insert it. (I have been to the FSB website) Does anyone have one and is willing to share the dimensions? thanks.
Good evening SimHanger who is this hardware effected or used with NAVAGRAPH?
For a beginner in Flight Sim, this looks very interesting. But does it work with Boeing and Airbus as well? Or is it these kind of planes it applies to?
Other than that, one of the best channels out there, keep up the good work!
Not suitable for airliners as they don’t have G1000 units on board. Mostly found in GA aircraft.
@@SimHangerFS Thank you for your answer. A quick question, what would you recommend for a beginner VR user, Thrustmaster TCA Boeing Pack or Turtle Beach VelocityOne with rudders?
@@Fieskmask to be honest, Honeycomb Alpha and Bravo…👀
@@SimHangerFS Wow, is that so? I might take a look at the reviews of it then. Thank you for your input 😉
Mark - do you have a similar video for Aviatek G1000? I am having issues with installing the hardware and there aren't many videos available. Thanks
Sorry never tried that one.
I have XPlane12 running on my M2 Mac, will this flight SimBuilder display work on a Mac platform? Thanks in advance.
This video from FlightSimBuilder shows how to use this G1000 unit with other GPS units in the sim. Pretty awesome. czcams.com/video/JylA-YNwpHo/video.html
Thanks to your link and Mark's excellent review I ordered the G1000 suite yesterday. By the time I costed the Simionic option with two new 10.2" iPads etc... the FlightSimBuilder setup actually was a few $Aud cheaper including shipping to Australia. Thank you Mark and @dhop55.
Superb Mark, i'm in the progress of buying a G1000 hardware panel. Different brands there are. Do you also test later on the G1000 Audio Panel ?
Nothing planned at this time.
High mark had a question. Since I got my RTX 3070 card I moved all of my settings up to your high-rated on one of your pass videos. Occasionally I will get a jerky movement. Which one of the settings most likely would cause that. Don't experience all the time but on One landing pattern it was a little jerky. Thank you Mark
Hi Mark. Great review. I have followed you for some time and regard your reviews and information you provide in your videos as quite thorough and accurate. Saw this when it came out, but was deliberating and finally posted. I'm working on my Instrument rating (IRA) and fly the G1000 Nxi in the C172S, and have been borrowing a fellow pilot's RealSimGear G1000 Suite (PFD and MFD as separate devices plus Audio Panel) and using it in MSFS for procedural work/training. All good, but it has little issues with one unit (screen flickering and goes blank intermittently). Anyway, I've been on the fence with the brand you review here, FlightSimBuilder, Aviatek and the one I'm using. Seen a few comparison videos, but seems not all the leading brands are included in those videos. Can you offer any thoughts of the unit you review here with any others mentioned? My concerns are quality of build, support / reliability. Thanks as always.
I can’t comment on other brands as I don’t have hands on experience with them. For the price FSB offers good functionality at a reasonable cost.
Do they only work with civial aircraft or will they work as mfds for the a320 as well
@@dotnetdevni they are designed to work with any aircraft that has a GNS unit. A320 - no.
I hope i win, as always a usefull and informative video! Wish I had one of these!
Dear Santa...
Viewed this on my regular music content
Gained a sub for watching everything in full, very knowledgeable and very cool!
Will watch more, checking out now if you reviewed any Chopper Peripherals.
Did u try them with dcs and star ctizen just wondering would they be usefull their?
No and I don’t think they are compatible.
can you play flight sim on xbox series x using honeycomb xpc yoke and throttle and use the xbox controller and a keyboard. Do you have to turn off the xbox controller to use the keyboard. can't get my keyboard to work
You can use them together. Check keyboard connection / compatibility
Nice bit of kit ... but I find that any peripheral like this would actually break immersion for me as I'd need to look "outside" the sim. I'm probably in the minority but anyone is welcome to send me one so I can test just to be sure! :D
😂
What is the size Of the Screen ??
Roughly 21cm x 16cm
Thanks
Can it work with XBox?
No unfortunately not compatible
Am I able to use this on Xbox?
Unfortunately not
Does it work with the Xbox?
Unfortunately not
3.13-3.18 watch closely
It’s starting to make me angry when I see manufacturers almost sabotaging their potentially good products by tefusing to use usb type c. It’s 2023…not 2009…
This I really agree with. Would be so much easier connectionwise and less ugly cables.
Nice product, but it's a hard pass for most people playing games.
US$1,000.00. Seriously?
Looks pretty cool but this is simply waaaay overpriced
Save your money and start investing in VR, you'll never go back.
Have a G2, had an Oculus CV1 and have to disagree, VR totally breaks immersion, its development is as stagnant as 3D TV. Until they redesign that ridiculous VR headset into something ''Google Glass'', its always going to be niche and nasty.
@@davewills6121 Sorry you can't afford the ridiculous hardware required to run it well. Keep Saving.
@@Wilem35 VR in flight/space sims is retarded, you know 1st hand im sure. Chuck
Nowadays, your videos seem to be only about expansive pieces of kit, and you find all of them fantastic. This channel has become pointless for me. Good bye.
Flight simming is an expensive hobby 😑
That is a game changer I hope to have one of that someday nice video🫡
Mark does an excellent job of highlighting the benefits of the Garmin G1000.
