Dr Tom Posted November 12, 2020 Report Posted November 12, 2020 Just got the G5 add-in and wish I got it sooner. That said, I did find some bugs as follows: The GPS mode is not showing on the HSI, e.g. ENR, LPV, LNAV, etc. The flashing WPT message does not appear on the HSI when approaching a waypoint. Unable to set the altitude bug. As soon as I click on the knob, the PFD menu disappears. No glideslope or CDI indicator on the PFD. No way of setting the heading bug to the current heading by pressing and holding the knob. No green rate of turn triangles on the PFD. No heading bug, NAV course or track on the heading tape on the PFD. No audible altitude alert tones. No flashing altitude alerts. The -2.5° bar is missing from the PFD. 1 Quote
mg1 Posted March 16, 2021 Report Posted March 16, 2021 I just installed and found the same features missing, as well as OAT, TAS & wind direction/velocity as now available in latest Garmin instruments (as installed in the plane I fly). Also, is it intentional that course is set by primary OBS, vs Course menu entry on the G5? I don't have a separate CDI/OBS in my plane, so don't know if this is a real world scenario. Are there plans to update the G5 to address any of these? Quote
