Anyone else finding the G1000 avionics to be a bit buggy ? From reading online it sounds as if the package can be a bit quirky in real life, however, I'm finding it frequently fails to pick up the ILS/localiser for approaches. I should add that I'm pressing the CDI button to cycle modes ... but still nothing. I can't figure out if it's me being an idiot ( probably ) or the sim being temperamental.

Turning autopilot on in the 787 rams the throttle fully open and presumably destroys the aircraft although I haven't let it go long enough after overspeed to find out!
Spam slowing down button and then hit speed up twice so it will go from 1/4 to 1/2 to 1
Ah cheers, wasn't sure how many steps there were from minimum to normal.
I have been doing the same but judging it by the blinking lights, not always accurate though
Completed the first leg of the Yosemite bush trip this morning. Really enjoyable. Great that it saves after each leg so it can be split up. In future it would be cool if there was a bit more narrative around the legs e.g what cargo it is, for what, how heavy etc. Great fun anyway
oh and refuelling... After the first leg I had 70% fuel so I wanted a bit more. I parked in a parking spot and pressed shift + F to request a fuel truck. Nothing. But in the control scheme there is an unassigned command called “repair and refuel”. I bound this to the i key as it was unused. This worked. Instantaneous 100% fuel magically appears without need of a fuel truck

I had this in the TBM then figured out you need to go in to the menus (touch screen bit) find the Comms bit and set the nav 1 radio to the ILS Freq. Then when you switch the CDI to nav 1 in range it says loc.
Anyone know how to turn down the brightness of the screens on the g1000?

Anyone else getting plenty of CTD still?
I did a fresh install yesterday with Windows 10 2004, and had three this morning.
One seems to be related to SimConnect as I was running OnAir at the same time, the next was due to CoherentGTJS.dll and the one just now, after I'd completed a short flight, was due to ucrtbase.dll. Nothing else running in the background except for Radeon Software, OneDrive and I presume Xbox Gamebar.

Think i only ever had one CTD
But i have noticed this game doesn't like having some things running in the back ground
Using my Asus software to show the FPS & GPU/CPU usage onscreen makes the mouse movement in the game jerky as hell
No crashes apart from when I try to load a saved flight, and not always so unsure what it could be
Plenty. Trying to avoid anything that might upset it appears to help. Shut down everything you can. Once you launch it, don't alt-tab or switch focus. Don't launch multiple windows. Definitely don't add or remove and audio devices (Bluetooth headphones). Preferably don't use Bluetooth headphones at all, seems to be a major risk factor in my limited analysis.

How apt... 
Are you all on 2004 or 1909 version of Windows 10?

No crashes for me, been working pretty much perfectly since the install, where I had no issues either.
Bought from the MS store direct.
I'm on 1903, I'm a little afraid to upgrade if there are issues with the updates.
That Faulting Module nameHow apt...

Was just testing the bluetooth/wireless possibility - no dice. Even with the dongle removed using an old USB WMO, still got a crash - this time faulting module just FlightSimulator.exe.
Will now try it with the online data disabled to see if that's an issue.
Another possible source of crashing is the location of the install - do you all have it installed on the same C drive as Windows?
