Keyboard shortcuts are also available for manually fly the aircraft on PFD whereas only accelerometer inputs are accepted before.
Now All the apps on iPad and MacOS supports keyboard shortcuts for all the G1000 knobs and buttons. And, every time the database is updated, no matter online or offline, it’s highly recommended to re-launch the app. Again, manually update the database offline is not recommended. For Mac apps, select the new database file by selecting ‘NavData->Import’ on the menu bar. To manually update the database, drag the new database file directly into the app’s folder. For iPad apps, database file can be seen under the app’s folder in Finder(MacOS) or iTunes(Windows) when iPad is connected to the computer. Not recommended, but users can also do this offline, copy the database file manually into the apps’ folders. New database will be downloaded online and extracted within the apps. Users can also initiate the update check for the database manually in the settings window. The apps will check database update every time they launch and show a message to ask users to update the database if there is a newer one available. We will be publishing the navigation database regularly. I will see whether there will be a way to make the apps run on older iPads again later.Ī good news is from this version on updating the navigation database is decoupled from the apps’ update. Any iPad models earlier than iPad Air won’t receive this update. The down side is that the lowest iPad OS version required to run the apps has been raised to iPad OS 12 which makes iPad Air the bottom line.
The benefit is that we now have those 2 apps also available in Mac App Store. Unexpectedly, switching the graphic engine makes this update the hardest one for me ever. A major change in this version is the graphic engine moving from OpenGL ES to Metal because Apple has abandoned OpenGL leaving their own Metal the only choice. After months of coding, the V7 for both PFD and MFD has been released.
