This mod upgrades the stock Icon A5's nav unit to the G3X Touch. The G3X Touch gives the Icon A5 very useful performance information and adds autopilot functionality. If you already have the current version of my Icon A5 2021 Performance Edition mod then you do not need to download this mod as it is already included in that package.
AVIONICS
- Replaced stock Garmin Aera with the G3X Touch
- Updated G3X Touch adds previously unavailable autopilot capability
- Updated G3X Touch to included missing heading and altitude select buttons
- Removed redundant airspeed indicated from engine indication system (EIS)
- Cleaned up font and spacing of ambient air temperature on engine indication system (EIS)
- AS1000 backup display improved to include heading, also now includes a mode switch to use the 2021 option of omitting backup attitude indicator

I already have the G3x WT mod installed, should i just use the WT version instead of the G3X version included in this A5 mod?

I like your mods, but:
Since the MSFS2020 update 1.16.2.0, the Garmin can no longer be operated. You can no longer enter values. The status field remains dark.
EDIT:
It is possible that the problem is also caused by G3X...

Also the performance question. Now it performs like some Turboprop. I flew VNPL to VNLK (Lukla) where Cessna 172 and Diamond dv20 sucks, more powerful airplanes struggle but A5 flyes like a champ. Looks not realistic. I may be wrong, but didnt in year 2021 Icon updated the original plane with GX3 and 2 axis autopilot, but not supercharged the engine for the same airframe? It would not withstand the overpower I think.
