if you designed that, are you planning on uploading it? I have 3-4 aircraft that that panel would look great in.

I wish, The issue with the g1000 is that the aircraft.cfg has to be modified to install the g1000 pfd. The g1000 mfd's, the ones from MS are for piston aircraft. So it's impossible to make a plug and play (or copy and paste) type of panel. I am having a blast using the pfd in a lot of my aircraft. I have i think three i uploaded last two days. 2 cessna's 337 and 404, and a gates lear23. The g1000 if you think about it simplisticly. is like any other gauge or device, It just requires the correct settings(or sensors) to work. But i bet almost anybody can add one. I will post the correct setting that have to be in the aircraft.cfg for it to work.
Rule#1, Back up your aircraft.cfg before starting.

[altimeters]
altimeter.0=1
altimeter.1=1

[airspeed_indicators]
airspeed_indicator.0=1
airspeed_indicator.1=1

[direction_indicators]
//1 Type: 0=None, 1=Vacuum Gyro, 2=Electric Gyro, 3=Electro-Mag Slaved Compass, 4=Slaved to another
//2 Indicator number of slaving indicator if Type = 4
direction_indicator.0=3,0

[attitude_indicators]
//Type: 0=None, 1=Vacuum Gyro, 2=Electric Gyro
attitude_indicator.0 = 1
attitude_indicator.1 = 2

[turn_indicators]
//Type: 0=None, 1=Electric Gyro, 2= Vacuum Gyro
turn_indicator.0=1,1       //Turn and Bank

[vacuum_system]
max_pressure=5.15 //PSI
vacuum_type=2 //Type: 0=None, 1=Engine pump (default), 2=Pneumatic, 3=Venturi
electric_backup_pressure=4.900000
engine_map=1,1

[pneumatic_system]
max_pressure=0.000000
bleed_air_scalar=0.00000

[pitot_static]
pitot_heat=1.000000

[Radios]
// Radio Type = availiable, standby frequency, has glide slope
Audio.1    = 1
Com.1       = 1, 1
Com.2       = 1, 1
Nav.1       = 1, 1, 1
Nav.2       = 1, 1, 0
Adf.1       = 1
Transponder.1 = 1
Marker.1    = 1

------------------------------------
Now you can add the PFD to your panel and go fly. everything should work.
If all your settings in the aircraft.cfg match the ones here, the PFD should function in any airplane. Mfd is the only exception. it can only be added as i said, in pistion aircraft without mfd gauge modification.

~~ok, now what craft has the garmin 1000 ?~~ found it. ... i have FS Panel Studio for fs9/X.

what I was meaning... I would like to have your pull panel setup as it is in the picture, that is if you would be willing to upload it. Is yours only for 2 engines? or 4?
