There is still more that can be done in this section and if this helps anyone I'll put more videos on about this subject along with some help on ILS landings.
Ask a question or leave a comment. Any tips that you can give me are always welcome.
Thanks

I used to be a flight gear virtual pilot, now I'm starting on FSX and I just want to say THANK YOU for uploading all your videos. They are really really helping me sorting things out as FSX isn't the easiest simulator to start on. So thank you, you're helping a lot, pal.

@ThatTexanCollector 9 лет назад

Yes! Thank you! I flew a Cessna 310 from Dallas Ft Worth Intl to Tyler Pounds Airport!

Niceee

@silvereagle2061 13 лет назад

Your better at directions then some of these kids on here. Thanks for taking it slow and easy for this 49 year old sim pilot

@66lwmorgan 12 лет назад

If I understand what your asking, you can hit the SHFT + 3 keys and bring up the GPS. You can then then hit the FPL button at the bottom center. If there are any waypoints in the flight plan you will see them. Also if there are waypoints just follow the pink line from one waypoint to the other. The lines will be white except for the waypoint you are heading to (pink). Use the upper right buttons to zoom in and out up to a point of 500 miles. I'll do my best to help if this wasn't what you wanted

When ATC gives you a runway look at the ATC window and you will see an option to request a different approach or runway. Click the appropriate number. After the ATC answers just select the runway from the choices available. More than likely they will re-route you with new headings.

@66lwmorgan 12 лет назад

At the top left of the screen you should have a menu bar. If not just right click on the screen then click on "hide menu bar". You should now have your options at the top. Click on flights and then save. A new window appears asking for a flight title and flight description. Call them whatever you want then click ok at the bottom. The next time you load FSX, on the main screen click on "load" and pick the flight you saved. Be sure to pause the flight before you save.

@66lwmorgan 11 лет назад

You are quite welcome, glad I could help a little and thanks for watching.

@66lwmorgan 11 лет назад

Once you take off you can switch from NAV to GPS and the plane will follow the route or, you can leave the switch on NAV and after contacting ATC they will give you headings to turn to which will put you on the flight plan.

@atomicpaper1 9 лет назад

Excellent Tutorial!!! Been using FSX for years and I STILL learned a lot!!! Thanks for doing this Video!!

@66lwmorgan 9 лет назад

Thank you very much for the nice comment and thank you for watching.

@66lwmorgan 13 лет назад

@StarrWhitey When your doing an ILS landing, ATC will turn you pretty much in the right heading. If the radio freq is tuned and set the plane will atuomatically line up with the green arrows on the GPS for a dead center landing.

@66lwmorgan 13 лет назад

@Hewson60 Thats true and the only reason I would make another waypoint is to check my GPS while in AP to see the turns that were being made. Other than that you are correct, I see no need for waypoints. I just wanted to point out that waypoints could be made. Thanks for watching.

@twisterwiper 11 лет назад

Thank you for the nice vid. I wasn't even aware that you can manipulate the route by dragging the line! And I have been using FS for 8 years, lol! Thanks!

@66lwmorgan 11 лет назад

After creating your flight plan hit the save button in the middle of the screen. Give it a name, you can also give a description if you like. After it has been save then click the Load button and when that window appears you should see the flight you just planned. You can also save the flight during flight if you like.

@cruiserca69 12 лет назад

You forgot the weather option. Real world weather with 15 minute updates makes for a very realistic flight. You will have to change the altimeter setting during the flight just like in real life. The program gets real weather for your starting position off of the internet and puts it into the simulation. If it is actually raining in St Jo at the moment you will be starting off in the rain. Very cool and very realistic.

@66lwmorgan 13 лет назад

@2011skaterblue I'm assuming you have several different waypoints in your flt plan. Once your airborne find the NAV/GPS button on the dash panel and click on the GPS. Bring up your GPS by hitting SHIFT + 3 and your GPS will appear on the screen. Hit the button at the bottom of the GPS in the center that says FPL. This will bring up all the waypoints, distance to each along with heading. Hope this helps.

@66lwmorgan 12 лет назад

Well thank you Sir for that compliment, I certainly appreciate that. I know what you mean about some videos out there. I've done exactly what you said, watched them over and over just to understand what was being said. Almost 62 and need lots of help, lol. Thanks again and be sure to ask any questions you might have.

@66lwmorgan 13 лет назад

@lemonlime287 If you have multiple stopovers, just create and save a series of flight plans and re-file at each airport for the next destination. You can create two or more flight plans for each legs and save them. Load and fly the first leg; then once you have landed and refueled, load and fly the second leg, and so on. When you load the second flight plan, answer "No" when prompted to move your aircraft to the new location. That way, you'll start from where you are currently parked.

@66lwmorgan 13 лет назад

@lemonlime287 I don't think the flight simulator supports that. You must create a separate flight plan for each leg. 1st leg: departure -» stop-over 2nd leg: stop-over -» destination

@66lwmorgan 12 лет назад

@cruiserca69 One more thing, after you click customize you can then click on "Advanced Weather" and there will be more options for you to choose from.

@66lwmorgan 12 лет назад

ATC has you fly around or even past the airport to line up with the runway. You can't click the APP button on until you have established the localizer and picked up the glideslope. You'll know you have picked up the localizer when you hear the beeping sound, usually about 27 to 30 mi out. You will pick up the glideslop around 15 to 20 miles out. Two pink diamonds will appear on the PDF screen, one at the bottom and one on the right (must be above the center line). Check out my later videos .

@66lwmorgan 11 лет назад

I have the Gold edition with Accelleration but I would think they would be the same. Yes the weather can be changed to anything you want but to have real world weather you have to have an internet connection. You'll find all the different weather setting under the weather tab then customize.

@66lwmorgan 12 лет назад

@cruiserca69 Ok, here's what you do. Your right, when you click real world weather the customize button is not an option. You have to click the bottom option "User Defined Weather." Now the customize button will be highlighted. From there you have many options on changing the weather setup but it will NOT be real world weather. By changing different settings thats what you get, not the real thing. Waypoints, when the map is visible put your mouse on the red line showing the route.

@66lwmorgan 12 лет назад

@cruiserca69 Your welcome, try a CAT landing. Zero visibility with rain or snow using the ILS Landing. Its fun seeing nothing till you touch down on the runway. It gives you a real perspective of what real pilots deal with, actually kinda scarey

@66lwmorgan 12 лет назад

@slrunescape There actually just textures for the FSX default 737-800 aircraft. I went to (simviationdotcom) and typed in the aircraft and name of texture, Delta, AA, TWA etc in the search area and found them that way. There some other places but I find this to be the best one out there. Hope this helps and if you have anymore questions please ask.

@66lwmorgan 11 лет назад

If its a 737-800 its just a texture/livery from simviation-dot-com. You can get free downloads there, textures, scenery and aircraft. Some of the 737-700's are complete freeware aircraft from the same site. There's a butt load of things to get. If you download something be sure to read the "readme" file. This will tell you exactly what to do once its been downloaded.

@66lwmorgan 12 лет назад

@13AGAT Hey, you are certainly welcome, glad it helped and thanks for watching

@66lwmorgan 13 лет назад

@silvereagle2061 LOL, thanks for great comment. I'm not near 100% accurate but I hope it gets you off the ground. I really enjoy those videos that have the loud head banging music playing while your trying to read. Thanks again

@johnito2232 12 лет назад

Thank you for your time and expertise. Much appreciated.

@66lwmorgan 12 лет назад

@13AGAT Unfortunately you can only plan one flight at a time. You will have to plan each stop separately. I've searched everywhere to find a way to do this and so far this is the only way. It would be nice to be able to plan a flight with mutiple stops in between. Thanks for watching.

@66lwmorgan 11 лет назад

Not sure what the problem is. Once the plan is created and you click fly now you should be able to bring up the GPS and click FLT PLN and it will show you the flight plan there.

@xjx2 12 лет назад

That's exactly what I wanted, thanks for your help!

@66lwmorgan 12 лет назад

@cruiserca69 Waypoints After you have created a flight and the map appears put your mouse on the red line, left click the mouse button and HOLD. Now drag the line to where ever you want. After you let go of the mouse button look to the right and you will see what the waypoint is. Hope this helps. Anymore questions please ask.

@ELPaso1990TX 4 года назад

That’s brilliant! So I guess it also sets the recommended altitude you should be flying at various points during your route?

@66lwmorgan 4 года назад

Yes and you can also request a certain altitude.

@66lwmorgan 11 лет назад

Excellent, glad I could help and thanks for watching. BTW, I like your polar bear

@foghorn491997 10 лет назад

Hi, I realise this is an old video, but I couldn't help but notice you had a large range of aircraft that I do not find available on my FSX, such as a Chinook, I have the accelerate expansion pack, I was wondering if the Chinook and other extra aircraft came with another expansion pack? Thank you for posting this video, it helped a lot. Cheers

@66lwmorgan 10 лет назад

The extra aircraft are add ons. I get all my add on aircraft from simviaton-dot-com. I have bought some fsx missions with different aircraft as well. Thanks for watching.

@foghorn491997 10 лет назад

Thank You

@66lwmorgan 11 лет назад

Make sure you have checked the IFR option in the flight plan. Once you get clearance to take off ATC should contact you with new headings etc. Bring up the GPS and click the FPL button at the bottom of the GPS and you will see your Flight Plan. Hope this helped, anymore questions feel free to ask.

@66lwmorgan 11 лет назад

After you plan your departure and destination flight all you have to do is hit the fly now button.

@66lwmorgan 12 лет назад

@cruiserca69 I thought I mentioned the real weather. Thanks for the reminder. Once your in the real weather settings you can also click on customize and from there change weather from snow to rain, no fog to lots of fog, 0 visibility and about a half a dozen other settings. It gets pretty deep and it is more realistic. Thanks

@louiejayce6691 3 года назад

i guess I'm kinda randomly asking but does anybody know a good place to stream newly released tv shows online?

@conorayaan5691 3 года назад

@Louie Jayce Flixportal =)

@louiejayce6691 3 года назад

@Conor Ayaan Thanks, I signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :D I appreciate it !

@conorayaan5691 3 года назад

@Louie Jayce Happy to help :D

@66lwmorgan 11 лет назад

All my planes are pretty much the default planes with different textures added. The planes I have added I got from simviation(dot)com. That is also where I got my textures from as well.

@66lwmorgan 13 лет назад

@mobilesreviews By default in FSX you can press the SHFT + 3 to bring the GPS up.

@66lwmorgan 12 лет назад

Your gonna have to land. If you don't wanna land go to the menu bar at the top of the screen, (alt + ent) if its not there then go to one of the items listed, one of them should be fuel.

@66lwmorgan 13 лет назад

@marky61198 Well thank you very much, I appreciate that and I'm glad you liked it.

@swedishnobe 11 лет назад

you are a very good demonstrator and makes very good videos so please make more :)

@66lwmorgan 13 лет назад

@Chamath5 No, its just the standard version of FSX with no addons.

@66lwmorgan 12 лет назад

Bring up the ATC window, the accent key, once ATC tells you what runway to go to and you acknowledge there will be an option to "turn on progressive runway" option 3. When you decide you no longer need the yellow lines just click option 3 again and they will go away. I also have 4 more videos for beginners, not saying your a beginner but they will tell other things that can be done in FSX. Thanks for watching.

@66lwmorgan 12 лет назад

Sorry for the delay, I've watched many videos on the VOR thing and I just don't understand it. I wish I could have been more help, thanks for watching.

@66lwmorgan 11 лет назад

No problem at all, I used camstudio to record audio and video with the built in mic on the laptop. There are a lot of different software programs out there but this one is free and does a descent job. Ask any questions you have and I'll do my best to answer them for you.

@66lwmorgan 12 лет назад

Unfortunately no, you can make waypoints and stop at each but ATC will not direct to each stop, only the one you originally planned.

@66lwmorgan 11 лет назад

Your very welcome and thanks for watching

@66lwmorgan 14 лет назад

@maninokiheihi Thanks for watching and I'm glad it helped you out.

@66lwmorgan 11 лет назад

Unfortunately no, you have to plan a flight and then plan another to continue. The only thing you can do is add waypoints to your flight plan.

@66lwmorgan 12 лет назад

You can click on the accent key (above the tab key). The ATC window should appear. There should be an option to increase/decrease altitude. Click on the level you would like and ATC will respond. Thanks for watching

@Tayd0g 9 лет назад

Thanks for that. Before this i knew how to use all that And i did 1 successful Flight, an Airtan, but now i know how to again

@66lwmorgan 9 лет назад

Halo Fan That's good to hear, glad your back on track.

@66lwmorgan 13 лет назад

@ultramssr Your are very welcome, I have 3 more videos about FSX if your just beginning. Thanks again for watching

@66lwmorgan 12 лет назад

Once everything is set up click the "Fly Now" button at the bottom of the window. You will start out at the area you have selected. I also have 4 more videos for beginners but I can't post the links here. Look at my videos and you'll find them.

@66lwmorgan 11 лет назад

Thank you very much and thanks for atching.

@66lwmorgan 12 лет назад

@66lwmorgan 13 лет назад

@legoman6000 Thank you very much, hope it helped you out. If you have any questions just let me know and I'll do my best to answer them for you. Thanks for watching.

@66lwmorgan 12 лет назад

I have 4 other tutorials on take off, landing, ILS etc. Try one of them and see if its any better. Let me know

@66lwmorgan 11 лет назад

I've never tried the demo version so I don't know if there are any limitations. I'm sure you will be limited to certain things but I couldn't tell you what they would be.

@66lwmorgan 13 лет назад

@noobpilot1 I'm not real sure what the pitstop is and no to the question of FSpassengers, thanks for watching

@66lwmorgan 11 лет назад

After you create the flight click save when prompted and then click fly now. That should be the only thing you have to do. Make sure you put the info in the departure and destination fields. I don't see any reason all the data you entered shouldn't be saved in the flight plan.

@66lwmorgan 11 лет назад

Your welcome and thanks for watching.

@itsraakah8579 7 лет назад

Awesome video thank you!!!

@66lwmorgan 12 лет назад

I had downloaded a 737-700 from simviationdotcom. Once the aircraft was insatlled in the FSX folder it automatically shows the SW call sign even if I use the 737-800 which is the default FSX plane with a SW texture from simviation as well.

@66lwmorgan 13 лет назад

@Guitarplayer14ful Switch to the GPS to follow the waypoints.

@allenprospere4181 11 лет назад

Where did you get all the extra airplane like the United, Southwest, DHL, Delta, FedEx, etc? I would really really like to get them!! Great video!!

@dylanhelmer 13 лет назад

You said to select VFR, well sir you selected a jet. Just about any jet must fly IFR. A jet or prop can fly IFR flight plan without landing ILS, IFR just means they are using instrument flight rules only using instruments to judge height, distance, speed, and where in the world they are located. Especially flying a 737 you would not fly VFR, and using a gps. A GPS flight like that would be IFR. Ontop of that if you fly above 18,000 feet, you are automatically filing IFR flight plan

@Artsu98 11 лет назад

thanks alot! that helped me much:) keep it up man!

@66lwmorgan 11 лет назад

I've done a little research on this and it seems that most guys using the FMC also have downloaded extra software to go along with it. Not real sure if it is required or not. Sorry I couldn't be of any help to you.

@cruiserca69 12 лет назад

@66lwmorgan Thanks for all your help Man! I much prefer the REAL weather so I guess I won't use that feature either. Keep up the good work!!!

@66lwmorgan 11 лет назад

Nornally when you download a new texture or livery the call sign will be in the file. I have downloaded a SW 737-700 and the SW 737-800 texture.

@asif555b 12 лет назад

@ 1.35, how do u have Airline Call sign set as SouthWest ?... in my case it only shows the default fsx call signs... amazing video btw... learned some new things..

@Ammyamer 11 лет назад

Thats it? I have been playing this for a while now and i love it, Just wanted to after configuring all this how do i fly on the mentioned route?

@66lwmorgan 11 лет назад

I get all my add on aircraft and textures/liveries from simviation-dot-com. Some are aircraft while others are a different liveries such as TWA, SW etc.

@Editing72337 13 лет назад

Thanks for the vid great help the only problem is i have no idea what do do next!! I mean i suck at this game, ive saved the file does it automaticly load into the game or do i import it? I have no idea how to use GPS this is my first time trying to at least get from A to B!! Cheers again thanks for taking the time to do this :-)

@Tom5ification 13 лет назад

When You are flying is there an in game compass you can use so that you know where you are going

@hyperA380 11 лет назад

Hi 66lwmorgan! Thanks for the video! I just had one question. Way-points will line me up to the destination runway but how can I change the destination runway? FSX will choose one for you automatically the second you click "find rout" thanks for your time!

@cruiserca69 12 лет назад

@66lwmorgan When I select real weather with 15 minute updates the customize button is grayed out and can't be selected. How do you get that button to be available? I also didn't know how to create way points but I don't really use them anyway. Great video, you explain things very well and make them easy to understand.

@66lwmorgan 7 лет назад

thx man, appreciate it

@66lwmorgan 7 лет назад

I don't believe so. You can add way points to the route you plan using the GPS but you can't plan the route.

@jetplane747 11 лет назад

When you create a flight, is there any way to make it so you have layovers at different airports like they do with real commercial flights?

@66lwmorgan 9 лет назад

Thank you for the great comment and thanks for watching. I have several videos if your a beginner, please check them out.

@jxckmoz5466 9 лет назад

66lwmorgan I sure will thanks for your reply I just don't understand the auto pilot because I have just started today.

@66lwmorgan 9 лет назад

What part are you having trouble with and I will help.

@jxckmoz5466 9 лет назад

Just the v1 and rotate part I never hear it

@66lwmorgan 9 лет назад

FH x BlazE You won't hear that part with default FSX aircraft. That might be an option with some payware aircraft. Depending on what aircraft you are in will depend on when V1 and rotate will be called out either by you or the co-pilot. V1 is the speed of which the take off cannot be aborted. If you can find the 2D view, usually by hitting the SHIFT key and 1 key, you will see the little icons on the panel. Hover over each one till you find the kneeboard. Go to the check list, scroll down and you will see all key functions, take off speed, cruise speed, etc etc. This will tell you what you are looking for. Let me know if you still have problems.

@66lwmorgan 12 лет назад

If your speaking of the different textures I got them free from simviation dot com. Just search for what you want and someone will have them available

@trainking1029 12 лет назад

Ok Thanks And 1 More Question here is my Specs My Laptop Is A (AMD Turion(tm) IIP540 Dual-Core Processor 2.40 GHz 4.00 GH (3.74 GB usable) Hows That is that low or high cause i get a lot of lagging when im playing it plus i use a key board And it's FSX Deluxe

Mr morgan!!sorry if im asking a lot of questions.. but what software do you use to record your voice AND your computer sound?? sorry if im asking a lot of questions (i asked like 3 questions before this one to you). im asking because i want to make a tutorial (inspired by you!!) and im not sure what software to use... please dont tell fraps as i aldredy tryed it and it is not coming.. Thank you,

@regressmenot 7 лет назад

Is there a way to enter a flight plan directly through the GPS rather than through the Flight Planner?

@ThePolarBearTV 11 лет назад

@66lwmorgan 12 лет назад

Sorry, I've never tried multiplayer so I don't know if it work there or not.

@twisTzeraPB 13 лет назад

hello the flight planner automatically goes to the airport as a destination or we have to activate the GPS?

@xjx2 12 лет назад

Hi! I am hoping that you can help me, this being my first time using FSX. How do I go about having waypoints appear visually? I cannot seem to find anything in the cockpit of any plane that directs me and it can be incredibly hard to get onto your set flight path by pausing and checking the flight analysis every 2 minutes, thanks!
