Great video, very helpful clear instruction please keep doing them for us newbies, would love to see more on how to set up Logitech flight controls, multi-panels and maybe setting up your views.
Your guides are the best on the internet. They are so clear and easy to understand. Always struggled with auto pilot, especially ILS and you make it look so easy and it turns out it really is. Thanks so much. You've renewed my love for Flight Sim again.
@@Huddison I was practicing this yesterday. Whenever I was trying to load the approach plan on the right screen in the g1000 , a message appeared telling something "NOT APPROVED FOR GPS..." And thereforever when activating AP and NAV, the plane would not follow the flight plan. I reviewed the video couple of times and did not spot anything that I missed . Many thanks Any hint ?
Hud, great video, so well explained, I've made checklists of the whole procedure so my tiny brain can keep it together. Going to be watching a lot more of your tutorials. Thanks so much.
Great video Hud! I've got my V1 setup again and I'm going through "school" now. Very helpful and timeless information in all your videos, these would help anyone. My wife let me get the dc designs F-15 for my birthday and you taught me how to use the auto pilot! Awesome! Hud thanks for making these videos and keep up the great work sir!
Thank you very much. I appreciate the tutorials and learn an awful lot that I then have to practice over and over again. It is a wonderful resource to have.
Another autopilot video for something bigger like the Cessna Citation CJ4/Longitude would be helpful for us newbies. Thanks for this video, I learned a lot!
Nice video. Getting back into FS after nearly 10 years away. The reason the aircraft veered off the runways is because with the AP still On it go stupid and tries to follow the guide signal that's transmitted from the left of the runway near the touchdown lines. I know FS-X actually would render the ILS shed.
Cool! I tried that with both EF 2000 Typhoon and Cy-57 Felon and used the auto pilot round trip...slammed the Cy-57 into the tarmac pretty good lol Typhoon did a wee bit better. Great vids! 👍 🇨🇦🛬
Great video!! As an experiment, next time you try that, click "ALT" on the AP at the point you would normally flare. That might simulate a flare by pitching up to try to maintain the flare altitude. More Science! 😁😎
@@Huddison No, No auto pilot at all in any plane I've flown for real. Only recently was a Garmin 500 series installed in the plane I have access to, but still no AP... LOL As for that AP landing tip... I have no idea if hitting "ALT" at flare will work or not.. Just a thought.. LOL
Hello there, I carefully watched both parts of this, and enjoyed every moment of it! So, thank you very much for it, and i'll be using AP regularly from now on, surely. I'll just add a suggestion to it, perhaps for a "Part 3" video: almost everything shown here was based on flight planning, prior to departure. Maybe you could show us to input (or add/change) a waypoint/destination in mid-air. I believe the G1000 has something like a nearest airport list, right? That would be fun!
Good video. This aircraft does not have auto-land capability so will always just descend into the runway with a bump. Autopilot to be disconnected before that and flared manually.
Always learn from your vids. I primarily fly the Beach Bonanza so I can fly in the Rocky Mountains: Altitude 6000 to 14000 feet. The Cessna 172 just doesn't quite cut it. Thanks for this particular video, I shall attempt an ILS approach at the United States Air Force Academy.
@@Huddison Went well except I had to change my destination to Colorado Springs Municipal (COS) because the Airforce Doesn't allow civilian use of there ILS/LOC. Even when you are flying your living room. ;-)
@@Huddison Yes, I think so. May have just been beginners luck. Yesterday I flew from Colorado Springs to Las Vegas. Exciting flight through the mountains and beautiful sunset over southern Utah. Things went south on my nighttime approach at LAS. I was not able to intercept glide slope and crashed short of the runway. I think the successful landing in Colorado made me a bit cocky. My first night landing and my first flight with real-world weather was too challenging. Need to go back and practice landings with daylight and without weather.
Just found this video but haven’t watched it yet.... it indicates it’s part 2. Suggestion: might be a good idea to put a link to part 1 in the description or on screen. I’ll dig for that through your video list and come back here later.
I’m back! SUPERB video! Easy to follow explanation, just the basic information and no fluff. I’ve never used approach mode (in sim or IRL; I’m not IFR certified) but will give it a go next time (in the sim, that is!) I do believe the AP broke your nose gear on that landing, though! Dang robot literally flew the aircraft into the ground! 😂
Maybe I missed it in the vid, but don't you have to program a Nav radio to the ILS frequency? It's currently how I do it, but just wondering if I may learn something new. Great video BTW. I was very interested in seeing what actually happens when the AP actually puts you on the ground as I usually do the same floating procedure you used. I especially enjoy doing this at night with almost zero visibility. Such a great feeling when all is black then the runway lights magically appear. Great stuff.
I typically use my Logitech Radio panel to tune in NAV/COMM frequencies; although got a video in the pipeline to show how you can do this via your controller.
Thank you so much for another great video - I have a quick question; you did not mention putting in the ILS frequency. I noticed the frequency changed from when you left to 111.15 when you were on final approach. Does G1000 update the ILS freq automatically or did you add the frequency yourself. Many Thanks
In this video I didn't change the frequency, but in this other video of mine, I manually inputted it (much more definite) , take a look: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XjSbsY_fKOQ.html
Thanks so much for this video. I am totally new to autopilot and GS1000. One question: when you selected the ILS that you wanted to fly, did it automatically input its frequency, or do you have to input the frequency manually? Thanks again.
One more question. How thIs autopilot interface with the Logitech autopilot module? Do they talk to each other? If so, I would like to watch a video with your configuration for them. Thanks again.
Was this an ILS landing on Xbox? I’ve watched your videos and managed to do the RNAV landing today but for the life of me I can not get an ILS to work. I think I got it to follow the route on approach but when I pressed the approach button it then veered off path. Could not get it to follow the glide slope. So infuriating, I’ve been trying for weeks!! Any suggestions gratefully received. P.s I watched loads of videos to try and figure this out and yours are amazing
@@Huddison Ah, that hopefully explains it and why it was not working. Was ready to throw my Xbox out the window. I look forward to your video of it on Xbox mate 👍
Having an autopilot in a simulation can take the fun away from manual steering. Quite the bumpy landing, more finicky to land with autopilot than with manual skills.
Hi i just did what you showed in the video is there any way to enter the ils approach info in the flight plan before you sat so you not doing it on the gps screen
Whenever I try to set up the ils approach when I hit load I get a box that says -NOT APPROVED FOR GPS- gps guidance is for monitoring only. Load approach? With a yes or no box to select.
@@Huddison Thanks! I think I fixed it. You mentioning the NXI mod reminded me I was using it, when I disabled it it seems to have fixed it, at least for the flight after turning the mod off on my series X. I also wanted to thank you for all of your very helpful videos, while I used to hold a ppl, it was in the late 70s and early 80s and in the Mooney I flew we had old school gauges, there was no real non military gps either, then in the B52 I flew in in the Air Force, while it had newer tech added over time, it was very different than civilian stuff, so I’m essentially a brand new pilot lol.
Hi Huddison. Pleas can you tell me what it is the Video is where you change the power options is it , in Windows. Tried to find it myself but you do have quite a few videos now. Thanks Derek.
@@Huddison Hi. As above . I have done what you said but im a bit into shooters but getting a bit fed up with them at the moment. Its in the Nvidia section where you select max power is it plus I have done it before so do I have to do it every time I run MSFS. Thanks Derek.
Just realised it was in the Nvidia control panel and tried it a couple of times but MSFS still not showing in the Power section. Plus I did run MSFS a couple of times . Derek.
Hello, I like your videos. I tried to set a certain speed in flc, but I don’t get the blue spot to insert my wanted speed. It is only possible to use flc when I am flying at the wanted speed. I have tried it with more airplanes with the g1000, but no option to put in the wanted speed. I now use the g1000nxi. What am I doing wrong or has something changed with the g1000nxi ?
@@Huddison Thsnk you for the quick response. I will try it when I am at home. In your video you just pressed the flc mode knob to get the value zero. When I push the flc knob it only activate it in the autopilot display. So I will try it with your suggestion.
Hello, first of all, I want to wish you a very nice and healthy 2024. This morning I have tried your suggestion for my flc question. And it worked fine, so I am very happy. Thanks a lot😊
Oh I played around with it several times and worked it all out, I think 🤔 Seems like there is now an extra box that pops up for “transitions”. First time I chose a transition that put me out in the English Channel and added about 100 knmiles to my route, really had me confused, lol. But I ended up repeating the whole thing several times until I got a sensible transition and approach. Very satisfying eventually getting that C172 to land itself, haha. I’ve done it a few times now on a couple of the bush trips. Anyhow thank you for your videos because without them I doubt whether I would have even attempted it. I also watched some of your later videos covering the Nxi G1000, very helpful 😊
I have the Orbx London Landmarks pack installed, but that really shouldn't make a difference to these procedures. Things have changed a bit with the G1000 & the Sim in general; see this later video for a more updated ILS approach tutorial: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fQtAVEN7gwk.html
@@allamericanwiseass Are you using the default Xbox controller commands for Auto pitot? Check this other video of mine, to see how to redefine your gamepad for better autopilot control: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ojpfO52r-FI.html I'll hopefully be releasing another video this weekend, which will again show FLC mode.
