Thank you for this post — I remember the one you mentioned at the start of this one, too!

Aviation nerd comment: the job of the primary flight instruments (the 5 across the top of the panel) are to display the aircraft’s velocity, attitude, position in 3D space and engine status in real time. So, you’re absolutely right that it would be dangerous for these to be augmented by animation outside of the representation of realtime data.

However, the secondary displays on the Garmin G3000 do have animations, and—as you’d expect from the aviation industry (ignoring ForeFlight)—look like something from around 2007. That said, the animations, albeit a touch lengthy in places, do look appropriate to the navigation being performed.
