Design Overview:
Major rebuild from G1000 Version 1
The monitor is orientated the correct way up so that the polarisation makes the screen easier to see and allows for larger viewing angles.
Primarily designed for 3D printing
3D printed frame
Additional laser-etched panels that fit into the 3d printed base parts can be purchased, providing stunning looks and full backlight capability.
Additional Notes:
DXF files are included for those with laser printers
If you don’t own a laser printer, panels can be purchased from the webshop for fitting
The main issue was finding an LCD screen in the correct orientation. The screen used in this version is bright and very clear, and it is available from Amazon via the parts links. This version can also use multiple screens of the 10.4" listed on eBay.
You will need the Propsimwash Dual encoders with their black knobs (Around 8-12 Euros each). I have tried to match every contour and recess of the genuine unit. The bottom frame is now slightly larger to fit the bigger bezel of the LCD screen.
All functions now work, including the joystick on the RHS frame, thanks to the RKJXT1F42001-4 Navigation Joystick.

FAQ's
Q: Can I use two G1000 units—one as a PFD and one as an MFD?
A: Yes. Both units are physically identical, and the software determines their role. You can pop out the PFD and MFD from MSFS and assign them to separate monitors.
Q: What software do I need to configure the G1000?
A: You can use Air Manager, Mobiflight, or the MSFS Pop Out Panel Manager to configure displays and map buttons.
Q: How do I connect the G1000 to my PC?
A: Connect via USB for input and HDMI for video output.
