Title: Another attempt: G1000 trainer on a Mac
Post by: murphey on July 24, 2024, 05:35:15 AM
Just finished reading the somewhat old thread on the G1000 trainer. I've got a Mac M3 with lots of memory and am researching if this is going to work: Mac, Parallels, G1000 Trainer.

The Parallels people say talk to Garmin. The Garmin people haven't responded to my emails.

Next step is a phone call to Garmin. Total cost to make this happen is $200. For a bit more than $200 I can get a refurb WinTel with Windows already installed, and not go thru the agony of trying to make it work on the Mac.

Has anyone succeeded putting the G1000 trainer on a Mac?

Don't even bother trying. Parallels does not have all the drivers the G1000 sim needs and you cannot install them. What I did - went on Amazon, bought a wintel for $40. That's right 40! When not being used for G1000 training, it's a door stop in my office.

Garmin won't respond because they don't want to get in the middle of an OS/emulator battle. I've had long chats with the Garmin people about this.
