Hello! My name is Tim, and I am a pilot, both in real life and in the simulator. I like to make educational videos and help teach people how to fly their sim aircraft proficiently and adeptly. Check out my tutorial videos, for both military and civilian flight sims, and hopefully you can find something that helps you fly a little bit smarter and better.
Does anyone know 1 year later if this product took off? is it worth it? thanks so much, just following up now they they've had a chance to get all the bugs out.
Could you verify that there is a ‘tactile icing check’ which involves scooting seat back, opening door and physically touching the wing. Really? Seems a bit odd and potentially uncomfortable for passengers. Of course, knowing you’re ice-free might override those concerns!
Yep! The checklist requires that you actually touch the wing prior to takeoff if you had ice on the wings during preflight or taxi. Fortunately I’ve yet to depart from ground icing conditions, only airborne icing conditions, so I haven’t had to do it yet.
@@riscfuture Thank you! Was talking to a prospective VJ buyer who said "no way!". I really like your videos. Love flying the VJ in MSFS, and you help a lot.
Great video. I used it to create my own cheat sheet for start up of this lovely little plane in MSFS. Thanks for creating it! Quick question to anyone - how do I move around the cockpit so fluidly as shown in this video? That’d make my virtual flying so much more enjoyable.
Not sure if the A/T is just still not working properly or if there is an approach mode to activate? I might have done something wrong but just flew my first flight in this and the A/T never targeted speeds for approach.
So glad I found your channel! Your videos have been very informative and a joy to watch since I just recently got the vision jet! Just wanted to ask how did you get the flight plan to display underneath the map?
Thank you so much for this instruction. My question is that I do not see the TOD marker on the map. Is there a setting that needs to be turned on> to display the TOD point?
A very informative tutorial of the Vision Jet, if possible please repeat same flight in the updated version of the vision jet. Looking forward to more of your videos.
this is an awesome video, thanks! relative to other payware aircraft in msfs2020 I think the one by FlightFX for the Vision Jet is really high level, too high level.
Tim your videos are such a pleasure and so informative. I like the real life narrative, I actually went to the Cirrus website to check all the aircraft brochures and the real airport on Goggle maps! Now I have a doubt: to enable A/T should I set the thottle to a specific detent? And in general is there a way to calibrate the detents into the sim aircraft? Can you be more specific on how to manage throttle during flight phases (also considering VNAV) and how to manage A/T? Thanks
What an incredible video man! Thanks a ton! I love flying the Vision Jet in MSFS so this is just so helpful to get really deep into the sim aspect of everything. What an incredible aircraft it is though... I've been doing maximum range trips to really push the jet as far as it can go going from PHLI to different Line and Cook Island airports in the Pacific and it's been so accurate with the fuel consumption. The plane is such a joy to fly too, it's slow to accept inputs, it's not overly touchy, and it's so easy to land with its lower approach and landing speeds. I'm envious you get to fly it in real life!
Can anyone tell me how I can get the Flight FX SF50 Vision Jet on my Microsoft Flight Simulator. Does it come with MSFS 2020? Which version ? Or is it a separate add-on? Thanks. These are great videos.
Just a point of clarification. You don’t need to be a CFI/MEI to sign off someone’s SOE. You just need to be appropriately type rated and of course free of a SOE yourself.
61.64(g) does say that, however, insurance requirements go above and beyond the FARs, and typically require a CFI who meets the pilot's open pilot warranty (in my case, 2000TT, 200 turbine, and 150 in type).
Great video! On that hold from the missed, I’m pretty sure the garmin 3,000 will elect do perform a teardrop. For whatever reason the g3000 loves teardrops and 45 degree entries to them…
I know this is an older video but as someone new to the Vision Jet in MSFS it’s fascinating and enjoyable to see your real life flights. Especially so in such amazing and exciting conditions!
Man do you know how can I move the course because in vor navigation is with the knob established in the upper part of the GTC and it says CRS but I’m not being able to mi e the course when flying GPS and activate OBS. Do you know if real life vision jet is equally?
The auto thrust changes from IAS hold to Mach hold at 18,000 feet. In the real aircraft, this is indicated by the speed target changing from (e.g.) 150 knots to M0.231. What altitude are you stalling at? The ceiling is 31,000 feet.
@@riscfuture Thanks for responding. I was stalling at ~14,000 feet, well below the change from IAS to Mach. I had VS set in the ballpark of 2500-3000 fpm. When the aircraft began stalling I lowered the fpm to ~1000 and the aircraft was barely recovering and above stall speed. I tried to take the aircraft out of AT but even when I did I couldn’t go past 30% and could barely regain my speed back. Not sure what caused this one that flight, could’ve very well been my VS. I tried again a few more times after writing this comment and noticed that when I set the AT to MAN and set the it to 165 manually it would *kind of* stay at my selected climb speed of 165. It would dip down to 145 at some times for no reason and then go back up. During that attempt I was climbing at 1300 fpm.
@@dirtytreerat14 the vision jet cannot sustain 3000 fpm above about 6000 feet or so. This is why we climb in FLC mode and not VS mode. An engine’s ability to generate thrust decreases with altitude. 30% thrust is normal at high altitudes.
Wish I could use this jet. I suffer from screens shorting out and loss of all autopilot at random times. I have a beefy pc with a 4070ti and this is the only plane this happens on. Anyone else having these issues? It really seems like it’s the plane and not anything else because nothing like this happens on any other plane even ones with g5000s. I hope they fix this because I love this plane.
Do you have any mods installed? Some of them, even on the Xbox, were messing with my planes FMS and MFD's so it's good to check into that and start uninstalling some to see if they are the issue.
is there a solution to connecting to an external gpu when there is no option at the airport I am starting at? My I keep getting an engine bus volts warning and a few mins later it will shut off
