  1. Hi Paul,

    Taking a look at the log, there are two things going on.

    1. The log shows you not logged into Gizmo (which handles activation of the G5). Sign in via the signup dialog. If it isn't showing, try temporarily unplugging all monitors except for your main X-Plane monitor and signing in, then reattaching them
    2. The G5 doesn't appear to be installed for this aircraft. You need to run the G5 per-aircraft installer on each aircraft you wish to use the aircraft with. In the main X-Plane folder, there should be a "G5 Aircraft Installer" which is installed after running the main G5 installer from the X-Aviation website. Running the G5 Aircraft Installer, select the aircraft of interest (C:\newSteam\steamapps\common\X-Plane 11\Aircraft/Laminar Research/Carenado Archer_II_v3.2/, based on what I am seeing in your log file).

    I'm also experiencing this same issue. When shooting an RNAV approach yesterday the G5 magenta needle was completely off, it seemed to be pointing to nowhere, and I had to use the GTN650's CDI needle instead. I makes it currently unusable for RNAV. Am I able to re-install the prior version?

    Nothing was changed in relation to the CDI with this version, we have this bug as something to look into.

  3. There wouldn't be a default aircraft type you can select for this -- the airframe is based off the Impulse 100, but this is highly modified with many times more performance (and fuel flow). Closest aircraft in SimBrief would probably be a TBM?

  4. Regarding the alarm, does it sound like the standard G1000 warning bell, or does it sound like an ELT siren. If it is the ELT siren, you can turn off the ELT switch located near the circuit breaker panel in the pilot's footwell.

    Regarding starting the SR22, there are a few important guidelines for starting the engine successfully:

    • Don't flood the engine. 2-3 seconds of priming is plenty
    • When starting, keep the throttle at 1/4". If it doesn't start, slowly oscillate lower and higher until the engine properly starts
    • If the engine doesn't turn-over properly, the plane's battery could be dead -- it can be recharged from the SR22 menu -> Toggle Aircraft Window -> Recharge Batteries.
