For Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 & 2020

Your simulator's G1000. In your hands.

As if you'd pulled the G1000 straight out of the simulator and set it on your tablet: no lag, every knob turns, every softkey clicks. Tune the radios, twist the heading bug, fly the approach — and keep your monitor for the view outside.

How it works

Install, connect, fly.

One small install on the PC, an app on the tablet — the boring parts happen by themselves.

Set up your PC — once

A small companion program on your flight-sim PC connects the apps to the simulator. The setup guide walks you through it; after that you can forget it exists.

The app finds your PC

Open the app on the tablet: it scans your network and lists your PC by name. Tap once to connect — the choice is remembered; from then on it connects on its own.

Fly

Every press and twist goes straight back into the sim. The first time you fly an aircraft, point at your PFD with a quick right Alt + click — the app guides you through it.

Features

Feels like a real instrument.

Every detail below is measured against the real thing in the simulator.

A bezel that feels right

Modeled on the simulator's own G1000: knurled knobs, softkeys with their little triangles, the full AFCS key block, key sounds and haptics. Touch targets are larger than the artwork, so fingers hit what eyes aim at.

Knobs you can actually turn

Turn with a circular gesture — detents you can feel, inner and outer rings, acceleration on the heading and course knobs when you spin fast. Tap for a single step, press the centre to push. Hold the COM swap key to punch in 121.5.

Full avionics control

All twelve softkeys, FMS knob and cursor, Direct-To, flight plan and procedures, NAV/COM tuning with volumes — and on the MFD: map range, joystick panning and every page group.

Built to stay current

Freshness beats smoothness on a flight instrument — and when your Wi-Fi has a bad day, the picture stays current rather than falling behind.

Nothing to babysit

Everything on the PC side runs itself: the G1000 is set up for you, and if something closes, it recovers on its own. If anything needs you, the app says so.

Nothing else to install

No FSUIPC, no plugins to hunt down, no browser tabs. An app on the tablet and a one-time setup on the PC — nothing more.

Aircraft

If it flies the G1000, it works.

FSG G1000 works with every aircraft in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 that carries the G1000 — from the Cessna 172 through the Diamonds and the Bonanza to the Cirrus — and with the G1000 NXi fleet in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. No per-aircraft profiles to download.

The apps

Two displays. Two apps.

Run the PFD on one device, the MFD on another — both perfectly smooth, from one simulator. Buy only what your panel needs; both apps run on Android and on iPad.

Primary Flight Display

FSG G1000 PFD

Attitude, airspeed, altitude and the autopilot under your fingers: the full PFD bezel with softkeys, HDG/ALT/CRS/BARO knobs, NAV/COM tuning and the complete AFCS key block.

Multi-Function Display

FSG G1000 MFD

The moving map and engine page, with flight plan, procedures and charts on the softkeys. Zoom with the RANGE knob, pan with the joystick, walk page groups with the FMS knob — just like leaning over to the right seat.

Both apps, one setup. The PC is set up once and serves the PFD and the MFD at the same time — on two different devices if you like.

FAQ

Common questions.

Do I need anything besides the app?

One thing: FSG SimBridge on your PC — the program the tablet talks to the simulator through. Installing it takes a couple of minutes, and the setup guide walks you through it.

Does it work with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 or other simulators?

MSFS 2020 — yes. FSG G1000 works with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and 2020 alike, from Steam or the Microsoft Store, and with both simulators installed on one PC. The bridge recognises which one is running by itself — nothing to configure.

Other simulators (X-Plane, P3D) — no.

Is there an iPhone/iPad version?

iPad — yes. The same two apps are on the App Store, they work exactly as described on this page, and one bridge on your PC serves an iPad and an Android tablet side by side. You need iPadOS 15 or later.

iPhone — no. The G1000 bezel needs a tablet-sized screen for the knobs and softkeys to stay usable, so the App Store version is iPad-only.

Which aircraft are supported?

Every aircraft in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 that flies the G1000, and the G1000 NXi fleet in MSFS 2020. The app works only with the G1000: load an aircraft with different avionics and it says “This aircraft has no G1000” instead of guessing.

Can I run the PFD and the MFD at the same time?

Yes. Both displays stay perfectly smooth, and commands from both work at the same time.

Does it work over the internet?

No — the tablet and the PC have to be on the same local network. That is what makes it feel instant.

The picture freezes or gets blurry in flight.

Almost always Wi-Fi contention: the simulator downloads scenery over the same radio. The fix list, in order of effectiveness, is in the network section of the setup guide — the first item is plugging the PC into Ethernet.
