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!

Great review Mark! This does look amazing, something i will consider in the future but not right now.

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

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.

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.

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

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. :)

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.

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.

@@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.

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.
