Re: G1000 NXi Phase III
I assume with the new MSB taking all hands, we are unlikely to see this update for a "long" time (?)

Re: G1000 NXi Phase III
For those of you who got emailed a copy of the Diamond Airmail NOV'22 newsletter, it contained a link with news about NXi Phase III availability:
https://www.diamondaircraft.com/en/abou ... s-for-you/
If we had not recently sold our DA62 that shipped new with NXi in 2017, it looks like we might have finally received Garmin-advertised NXi features from 2017 like Visual Approaches and Surfacewatch via Phase III software in 2023 -- SIX YEARS after delivery.

How are you liking the Epic? What made you want to make the move from the DA62 to the Epic? I'm fascinated by the decision making process one goes through when justifying the step up into a turbine.

Re: G1000 NXi Phase III
We sold our DA62 and bought an Epic E1000 GX (which also has G1000 NXi and GFC700) to get all the Phase III features that Diamond never managed to deliver. There's obviously much more to our decision -- which would better be discussed in a separate thread.

Re: G1000 NXi Phase III
My 62 is due April 24 so fingers crossed currently order has GWX70 and TAS605 hopefully will be updated to GTS800 and GWX8000. What's the Surface Watch feature, can't find any other reference to this?
