for the ILS, you needed to switch back to the "Green Needles" using the CDI button. It also seemed that your cruise altitude was higher than the intercept height for the glideslope. i noticed the diamond indicator was below you quite early that you unfortunately missed otherwise id say you would have been fine. Another option is to use the approach button or APP on the autopilot, which will activate the glideslope and CDI capture and fly it for you, you just need to maintain speed with your power settings.
On my training courses for the Instrument. I was stuck at 5000ft and 110 knots.. Ended up flying way past into the ocean.. NEver got it completed. On my certification it is doing the same thing with no waypoint progress.. Lame.. At least yours is working. Game is buggy for sure. I came here to see if yours was actually marking success.
Yeah there is definitely things they need to iron out ASAP. Atleast it seems people are getting into the game now so they can start making those patches soon. Sorry to hear yours was having so many issues!
It’s been a while since I’ve flown anything with a G1000, and unfortunately I’m still 17 hours into various loading screens so haven’t been able to get into 2024 yet. However, regarding the altitude capture, from memory you need to change the CDI course again. You changes it from the localiser to GPS early on, you basically use the same button and cycle it back till it’s green and then you’ll get the gsi. If I’m wrong when I eventually get in, I’ll let you know!
As an actual instrument rated pilot, this is TERRIBLE for training... it gives the basics but doesnt show when to actually turn to intercept the course. You skipped the turning which wouldve taught you that a standard rate turn is 3* a second or about 18* of bank angle. On half deflection you start your turn. Further more, why arent you using the G1000 to its fullest? Set the heading bug and set the altitude bug. Literally stopped at 4 minutes, that wouldve failed a checkride. Multiple Check ride failures for a career are career ending.
And that's why I'm not a real pilot lol. Just playing for fun and learning as I go, definitely should have done more of the trainings but excited to get through the career and they make the testing way too easy. Thanks for the advice as well; I would definitely try to implement it. I have also watched some G1000 tutorials since and I am beginning to gain a better understanding.
@@canadiansimgamer I realized that my comment sounded unnecessarily harsh. You do this for fun, I do this for money and its cool to see people take a crack at this. Changing your squawk code while on a IFR flight plan is an absolute must however, you can find it at the bottom of the PFD (The left display) under XPDR. Click it and then type in the numbers. You'll have to give a verbal acknowledgement with tail number and new squawk. They may have you ident too. Finally, standard rate turns in the C172 are done at 100 knots IAS. Theres a bunch of other stuff i could go on and on...

Thank you so much for the advice! I'm still very new to the g1000 system so I will give that a shot next time

Awesome thanks for the info, that makes quite a lot of sense!

Game is trash. Avoid.
