Подписаться
Father and son(s) starting a new hobby together in aviation and flight simulators, sharing their experiences and growth in the hobby over time right from the start. The father was a real world IFR/SEL rated pilot about 20 years ago. The son picked up an intense interest in aviation science playing around with FSX Steam, reigniting the father's old love for aviation. What a great way to share something together! Going all in, we're getting started with just humble gaming grade flight controls and X-plane 11 with aspirations to building the best and most realistic experience possible in a home simulator. We hope to post several videos each month going over a variety of topics, such as: Un-boxing simulator equipment, product reviews, recording flight practice and scenarios, cockpit builds, and other general aviation topics that we encounter along the way.

@@drewjenn9819 I still use the pedals, but I replaced the Logitech yoke and 2 TPMs with a Honeycomb alpha and bravo. I’d say the Logitech was great for starting out and I only replaced it because Honeycomb was a lot better and at a great price point for me, Given the state of Honeycomb, be careful now if you decide to buy that one… make sure you’re buying from the actual company.

Hi. There’s no real multiplayer built in. If you want multiplayer (and you are serious flyer) then I would recommend Vatsim (which is free ATC plug-in) or a subscription based ATC PilotEdge plug-in which is real world accurate procedures. I have some videos where I am using PilotEdge you can check out.

I watched your video on flying from Fresno and really enjoyed it. I have the Navion 205 programed in my X-plane and fly it all the time. I have a friend that owns a 1947 Navion that he had completely restored upgraded the engine and prop (four bladed) and put in an Aspen glass instrument set up. Beautiful. And it flys great! The sim is not too far from the actual flying. My question for you is: how did you get the moving map to work on the panel on the left side of the windshield? Unless you enjoy flying the "old school" instruments, I suggest you go to Air Manager and design your own instrument panel. Also, my auto pilot works in Navion 205. Thanks and great job on the videos.
@father-sonflightsimulator3838
@father-sonflightsimulator3838 2 года назад
Thanks for the comment! Actually that moving map if I recall is just a desktop browser window I had open on my desktop. I grabbed it from the desktop into VR using a plug in I got off x-plane.org (I think it’s called movevr or something?). It allows you to bring windows from your desktop into vr, so I can also bring in sectionals, IFR approaches, etc.. I was only using that window here because it was cool to see all the other ppl logged into PilotEdge for the event. I don’t usually use that window when flying. That plug in also allows me to bring in live chat from RU-vid for livestreams as an example too.

I do it like this: when I fly a Boeing or smaller airplane I use the Saitek pro flight system, but when I fly an Airbus I would only use the Saitek throttle and Thrustmaster Airbus joystick. The Throttle but only has a Ps2 connection ... does it work somehow ???
@father-sonflightsimulator3838
@father-sonflightsimulator3838 2 года назад
No you can’t just plug it into any PS2 port. You’d have to get an extra throttle quadrant that has a USB connector…. If you plan to fly twin prop planes though it might be worth it, I went ahead and got a second for that reason.

Our copy is for PC and I have another video that shows our whole set up. It still runs great though I want to get a later model VR headset (maybe a reverb g2?) I think there’s a mobile version of Xplane 11 but that’s never interested me. MSFS is playable on Xbox I think…. But if you’re going for real world realism in a flight sim (yoke/throttle/pedals, ATC, VR or physical cockpit) you can’t really do that on a console.

@father-sonflightsimulator3838
@father-sonflightsimulator3838 4 года назад
Joseph Mazzeo that really sucks!! I have mine plugged into a powered USB hub, and that hub is plugged into a surge protector power strip. Couple of things I’d try just to check it’s fried or not.. try plugging the USB into another PC to check if it still gets picked up.try reinstall of drivers. If it’s still truly fried you can try the detent fix mod that replaces the circuit board. (Probably the cheapest way to fix it). Otherwise, replace it with something better, perhaps the new Honeycomb.

Also true earth gb is terrible for frame rates no matter what setting i put on it. I hate the addon it is just terrible and a waste of money. No wonder orbx does not like feedback and has strict rules for support. VR is a poorly optimised system in most games, project cars 2 being the exception. As for x plane not using all cores well that is not the fault of the cpu but the game. They need to stop thinking in terms of singular cpus that is old school 20 years ago thinking.

Most of the time it just sat on one core and never used that to much affect. i did some tweets, used the tool u said in the video. It help somewhat, but i also updated windows 10. The result was i could fly very low with true earth scenery on max high settings over liverpool and manchester airport. It is a short hope between the two cities -ie 38 miles . Still the slight stutter no an then. 'Also windows 10 uses prechascing for fast loads of a program. For example when windows start one may think chrome is not open but in the background there are 44 chrome windows saved in the ram member and it does that with other programs. That is a nightmare to sort out. MoveVR was a waste of time, not good at all. Still i am only getting 22 fps even with the max settings.
