-The FG1000 is a simulation of the Garmin G1000 glass panel flight deck.  The FG1000 was developed in reference to the pilot's manual for the Cessna NAVIII variant, as fitted to the Cessna 182, but is designed to be flexible and also work with other airframes.  For detailed instructions on how to use it, refer to the [https://static.garmin.com/pumac/G1000:CessnaNavIII_PilotsGuide_SystemSoftwareVersion0563.11orlater_.pdf Garmin Pilot's Guide].

+Key features:
-* PFD is largely complete. ALT units and alternative HSI displays still to implement.
+* Primary Flight Display (PFD).  Fully functional and 99% complete vs. the real thing.  (Alerts, ALT units and alternative HSI displays are the remaining pieces)
-* MFD is 90% functional, and now includes display and editing of the current flightplan, along with moving map, engine information.
+* Multi Function Display (MFD).  Fully functional and 90% complete vs. the real thing.  Includes moving map, navigation features, flightplan, traffic, engine information. .
-* MFD and PFD can be displayed as a GUI window under Debug menu or added to an aircraft with the GDU-104X models as part of a 3D cockpit.
+* MFD and PFD can be displayed
-* GFC700 autopilot is integrated and includes all modes apart from VNV (vertical navigation to follow a flightplan) and BC (ILS back-course).

-* A reference implementation is available for the Cessna 182T https://github.com/HHS81/c182s/tree/C182T
+** as a window within FlightGear
+** on a separate window or monitor using [fgqcanvas].
-There's still a number of pages to write, and the more complex pages around route planning will likely be particularly challenging, but it should be far faster now these blocks are in place.  See the Design Notes for details.
