Latest Release – April 2026
G1000 Flight Deck Connect Installer + Firmware Updater v0.1.1
This is a major update. The G1000 panel now uses a new USB HID architecture, the same way your keyboard and mouse talk to Windows. This means no more COM port issues! No hunting for the right ports, no more 3rd party applications locking communications between the device and simulator.
If you had connection problems in the past, this update is for you!
What's included:
- A new FlightDeckConnectHID service that works with MSFS 2020 and MSFS 2024
- New firmware for your G1000 panels
Download v0.1.1 here
This is a new service with new firmware. To have the best experience, please install the new service first, then update the firmware and test. Once everything is working, you can delete the old FlightDeckConnect application.
New — X-Plane 12 Support!
G1000 FlightDeckConnectXPlane plugin for X-Plane 12 for Windows & macOS
X-Plane pilots, you're in. For the first time, the G1000 panel is fully supported in X-Plane 12 on both Windows and macOS. You asked, we answered.
