Is it necessary to do something on Pilots Pref page to get these to display.
Mine don't show - both --- out

It appears you can use Manual Mode to get Density Altitude using something like this

Select 'MANUAL' page mode by pressing the Manual softkey
large FMS knob to select the 'IND2.ALTITUDE' field
small and large FMSknobs to enter the altitude indicated on your altimeter.
flashing cursor moves to the 'PRESSURE'field
small and large FMS knobs to enter the barometric pressure
flashing cursor moves to the total air tem-perature ('TAT') field.
Turn the small and large FMS knobs toenter the temperature

I found this in an Expanded Verision of the G1000 Manual at
https://www.manualslib.com/manual/13518 ... d=1#manual
Not only is this version Interactive with search feature but covers everything in great detail .. a great find for me anyway

However .. I'm still puzzled why you have to go to Manual Mode to get DA as the Auto mode already displays TAS ( but not DA) ..?

perhaps your temp probe has died. Do you get OAT or TAS under under your IAS?
