G1000 Available Features List & "To-Do" List
Several people have asked us to estimate the "percentage of completion" of the G1000 panel.  While arriving at a numeric percentage might be difficult, we felt it would be just as useful to list the known items the panel can and cannot do.  Our goal is to implement as many G1000 functions as are present in the real units, within the limitations of the simulator environment.  That means that there may be some items that cannot be implemented without adding core simulation elements or core database data that isn't available in the base simulation product from Microsoft.  (That doesn't necessarily mean we won't be addressing them.)

If an item is not listed here, you can probably assume that it has not been implemented.  However, if you do find an unlisted feature, it's worth contacting us and asking, just in case the item was actually available but omitted from this list by accident.  Also, please let us know if we have inadvertently listed an item's status incorrectly.

You an also check the release notes for various versions here.
 
Items with an check and asterisk "*" are items in the beta version, available for download
