Experience Advanced Avionics in Your Virtual Cockpit

The G1000 XFD brings the power of glass cockpit technology to your home simulator. Designed to replicate the Garmin G1000 found in modern aircraft like the Cessna 172 Skyhawk, this professional-grade unit enhances your flight experience with real-time data, swappable display modes, and full integration with leading flight simulator platforms. Whether you’re training, learning, or flying for fun—this is your ultimate cockpit upgrade.

Precision Engineering & Realism

Authentic Design
Built with flight training and simulation realism in mind, the G1000 XFD mirrors real-world avionics behavior:

  • LCD Monitor Display – Dedicated high-resolution screen that renders simulator G1000 content with clarity.
  • SkyView Auto Pop-up – SkyView software (included) automatically routes PFD/MFD output to the correct screen.
  • Realistic Configuration – High-precision hardware matches the look and feel of in-cockpit avionics.

Comprehensive Avionics Suite

Multi-Display & Multi-Function Capabilities

  • Swappable Roles: PFD or MFD – The unit can function as either a Primary Flight Display or a Multi-Function Display, easily switchable with a single click using SkySync software.
  • Integrated GPS & Moving Map – Navigate airways, terrain, and procedures with pinpoint accuracy.
  • Flight Management System – Plan, manage, and modify flights using built-in tools (sim-driven).
  • Six-Pack Steam Gauge Mode – SkyView software also includes a custom six-pack display mode:
      • Displays classic analog-style instruments.
      • Temporarily repurposes knobs for six-pack functionality.
      • Easily switch between the traditional six-pack analog view and the G1000 glass cockpit display — a feature unique to the Desktop Pilot G1000 XFD

Hands-On Flight Controls

Interactive & Customizable Interface

  • Tactile Control Knobs & Buttons – Each dial responds with realistic click-feedback, enhancing immersion.
  • Interchangeable Avionics Modes – Quickly toggle between modern G1000 layout or six-pack instrument panel display for varied flight scenarios.
  • Custom Configurations – Tailor settings and layouts to your sim aircraft or training goals.

Versatile Integration Options

Designed for All Simulator Setups

  • Cockpit Panel Mount – Integrate into a physical sim cockpit for a full glass cockpit build.
  • Desktop Display – Operates as an independent monitor for G1000 content from your sim software to your desktop cockpit.

    • Real-Time Flight Data – Monitor heading, airspeed, altitude, vertical speed, and more.
    • Weather Radar & Updates – Integrates with live simulator weather data for full situational awareness.
    • Adjustable Backlight – Control screen brightness through simulator or optional Desktop Pilot Switch Panel:
        • X-Plane: Uses SW/CB potentiometer
