In this video we explore the Aircraft and Avionics Update 1 Beta which lends improvements to the Citation Longitude. We take a look at some of those improvements on a flight from Burbank CA to Las Vegas NV.
Thanks for letting me into your cockpit, captain. Though I did not understand everything in detail the first time watching, you made me realize the complexity of flight procedures and this beautiful aircraft in a calm, comfortable and professional manner. The best way to learn and to keep interest in flying and enjoying the sim. Thank you again for this great tutorial flight!
Thanks. The CJ4 update is nice also, although it’s not much different than the previous Working Title mod. I’ve done a video featuring the CJ4 with that mod previously. Cheers!
Great video! You did an amazing overview and tutorial of the new changes to the C700. Just the kind of video I have been looking for to explain the new update and how VNAV works with restrictions. Much appreciated.
Hey Bandit welcome back. I love the Longitude and am so happy it's getting attention from Working Title. Your question about controlling the split screen is simple. There's a Pane switch function associated with the left knob on the lower MFD. Scrolling switches between the different panes. You can see a slight highlight shift to let you know which pane you're manipulating. Hope that helps!
I figured out my problem. I had the cockpit interaction mode set to Legacy and you can't function the knob to change the pane, once I switched to Loch mode it worked.
Great video. Appreciate you sharing. Note on the PAPIs - check the approach plate for that runway. It sometimes mentions that the VGSI (visual glide slope indicators) not aligned with glideslope. Could be the case there. Also struggled with the cj4 but watched a video of a chap giving top tips of landing 182 in real world and he said use of trim on landing helps. Tried it in cj4 and helps a lot. As soon as you put throttles to idle don't use yoke - just trim back as speed bleeds off. Works a treat for me
Hi, thanks for watching. Sorry for the late reply, I've been away for the last few weeks. For the PAPIs, yes you can check the plates but there is a bug with that scenery, they should never be that much off. As for using trim on landing, IRL you should never use trim to fly the airplane. For example, in this situation you have just applied nose up trim to soften the landing and the you have to go around because you landed long, now when you apply full power the plane is trimmed for a lower speed and could pitch up aggressively and you could stall, this would be aggravated if the thrust vector also causes a pitch up moment.
One of the best teaching videos I have seen! Cool, calm and very informative. I am just stepping into the C700 and will use this flight more than once to get comfortable with the airplane. Greatly appreciated! I am sure I will look for your B350 and C414 flights as well!
He is using the regular Navigraph Charts app and dragging it from another monitor, i think. Navigraph charts are now integrated May 2023. The simbrief integration is what i like. Good luck
Super great videos you make! One of the best Longitude videos on YT in my opinion :) Great quality video and all the explaning and instructions are excellent! Thanks for this :) Davis.
Welcome back, Bandit! Thank you for taking the time to produce, edit and upload videos to RU-vid. I heard that the HUD that came originally but never worked, will not be made workable as in the real world, it was not approved. I may be wrong on that but I thought I read that somewhere in the comments on another RU-vid video.
Excellent tutorial. Very thorough. This plane has come a long way. It was essentially unusable when the sim was first released. The only inexcusable problem now is the inability to go into the cabin to set up window views.
Thanks. That may eventually be added. They add the the ability to open the doors on the TBM so maybe some of those features will come to the Longitude including the ability to move around the cabin. 🤞
For anyone wondering about the screen management issue presented at 31:18 this is caused when toggling in and out of split screen mode. So long as there are two "controllable" MFD views, then the two GTCs in the middle will each try to control one. When you go from two on the MFD to one, but have the PFD split, the other GTC takes over the PFD map. At any time you can move the left-most control on the center GTCs left/right to change which screen they're controlling. The screen being controlled will have it's header colored cyan or magenta - cyan is the left GTC, magenta is the right GTC. At the moment mentioned, you can see the PFD's split screen is highlighted Magenta, the left half of the MFD is highlighted Cyan, and the right half of the MFD is not highlighted - uncontrolled. The Right PFD is actually mimicking the left PFD for now (I'd love to see that changed) and cannot be independently split.
Glad to see you back, always good content, just a point for the engine start sequence, the checklist your showing suggests to push Start button, wait til N2 gets to 20% and then press the Run button. You did like Microsoft checklist in the sim and it's the opposite. I Have seen others on YT doing it both ways,... it's probably meaningless both ways in the sim, but II would like to do it as much as possible like in reality, I was wandering with checklist was good. Thank and I would certainly would like videos on the 750 GPS, only few planes have it, but it looks great.
Hi, thanks for watching. I modified the checklist I was using to the to one in the document released by Working Title : forums.flightsimulator.com/t/cessna-citation-model-700-longitude-operators-guide/562558 I assume this is the correct procedure as it has been reviewed by actual Longitude pilots. When I do a flight in the Cessna 414 I will feature the GTN 750, Cheers!
I also have the Steam Gauge King Air. It would be great if you could show how to use the RNAV device which allows a pilot to make a virtual waypoint. Also, the manual confuses me on how to pressurized the cockpit. My alarm goes off at high altitudes as I can't seem to set it correctly. A video would be great on the both the RNAV and pressurizing the cabin. Thank you.
Great suggestion! I haven't tried the RNAV device yet ( using the GTN 750) but the Cabin pressurization has been working OK for me, in the climb is set cruise altitude +1000 feet and in the descent I set destination altitude +1000 feet.
Welcome back and thanks for this video helped me a lot. Couple of points if I may ; I wished you could have covered the take off sequence with the camera focusing on the throttle etc rather than just speaking out the sequence of events on take off. I think this point would also cover other actions i.e. if an action is being performed just get the camera focussed on what you are doing. This is not a criticism by the way buy it helps non pilots like me so much. Thanks anyway for the time and trouble putting this together it would be awesome if you could do more flights\procedure on this jet as you indicated.
Good point, thanks for the input. I tend to use my Class Echo device ( shakeprint.com/ ) which can do many functions in the cockpit without having to focus on that aera. I'll try to incorporate that more in future videos. Cheers.
Thanks! For the reverse I use a program called SPAD.Next to map the controls but the same parameter should work for the in game control settings. I mapped reverser 1 to THROTTLE1_DECR and reverser 2 to THROTTLE2_DECR. Cheers!
Really enjoy your videos. Please keep up the great work. Have noticed that your Navigation Map can be in Dark Mode. How do you do that? I'm sure I am not finding the easy setting for that. Thank you.
Thanks, I do have the ATR but I haven't flow it in a while. I do remember that RNAV Approach doesn't capture until just before the FAF and I recall sometimes it didn't capture at all.
Thanks so much for taking time to present a great tutorial. Question: Does the approach have to be activated in the Garmin 5000? I notice that you loaded the approach but did not load and activate. When you press the APPR button, is that when the approach gets activated?
Hi, Thanks for watching. It depends on how the approach links up with the flight plan. If the IAF of the approach is the same as the last waypoint in the flight plan then you don't have to activate the approach. If it isn't, then you would activate the approach when you are direct to the IAF for the approach. Cheers!
You mentioned that you were open to doing other tutorials... do you ever do helicopters? I really need a good tutorial on the H145... including the autopilot.
Really love this video, calm explanations and the C700 is such a beauty to fly after the update! I saw your traffic on the traffic map when you approached KLAS, is this the stock MSFS 2020 traffic or you are using any app like FSLTL? I use FSLTL and I am not getting traffic on the map, despite I can see th traffic and I have set TCAS to Auto and unrestricted…
Thanks, glad you liked the video. Yes, I used FSLTL. I'm not sure why the traffic would not show up on your traffic map, unless it's too far away. I haven't changed any setting in the FSLTL injector, I just use the default.
@@banditflightsimmer6446 When you say ‘…too far away…’, you mean away from the departure/ destination airport or from tne actual position of the plane?
Very good video. I have no clear the conversion of the knots in Mach. In the vnav profile in the climb schedule y the high speed climb is set to 300 Kn/M0.8. But 300 Knots should be 0.45 M. I mean 0.8 M is 988 km/h It’s seems to much for climbing. While 300 knot are 550 Km/h that seams to be more reasonable. Probably there is some confusion in my mind about Knot and Mach indication.
It will maintain 300 Kts until 300 Kts IAS equals Mach 0.8 which usually occurs around 25000 ft plus or minus depending on the atmospheric conditions. When it switches to Mach it will maintain 0.8 for the rest of the climb and you will notice the IAS will slowly decrease. It does the reverse on the descent, Mach 0.8 until it equals 300 Kts IAS and then maintain 300 until 10000 ft. The relationship between Mach and IAS isn't a constant, it changed with altitude and temperature which changes the air density.
@@banditflightsimmer6446 thank you now I understood the Mach is more referred to TAS that differs to IAS according altitude as you rightly wrote. Thus you can not convert directly the KIAS in Mach. I apologize for issue that a Pilot should know very well. Unfortunately I’m not😢. Just passion
Hello Bandit, I was wondering if you could help me / clarify some Auto Throttle issues, do the toga functions work as in enable the outer buttons on thrust handles and will that auto position throttles to take off power. In asking I do not have the Beta version you are presenting in this version, what mods / add ons do you have enabled since update12 andAAU1 is the fight dynamics mod still functioning? I understand that AUTO THROTTLE only work once in the air after you manually select speed ( not FMS selection) after manual selection of throttles to take off.
Hi, the beta is over, it is now part of the basic sim. I do not use the flight dynamics mod anymore. The auto throttles function using the outer buttons on the thrust levers, ( I have it mapped to a button on my throttles ), you can set it on the ground. I usually set takeoff power manually and then arm the auto throttle during the take off roll. It should maintain thrust in either manual or FMS mode.
Many thanks for a great video. I'm really looking forward to the release of this aircraft in January. Could you post a link to the check list you were using. Also what hardware are you using? Merry Xmas from Ireland. I'm the owner of the Enniskeane airstrip just West of Cork . Don't attempt a westerly approach because asobo has a tree bang in the middle!!
Thanks, I'm hoping to do a trip to Ireland next fall, Merry Xmas! Checklist: flightsim.to/file/8703/cessna-citation-longitude-checklist I'm using the Honeycomb Bravo Throttle: flyhoneycomb.com/products/bravo-throttle-quadrant ThrustMaster TCA Joystick: www.thrustmaster.com/en-us/products/tca-sidestick-airbus-edition/ Turtle Beach VelocityOne Rudder Peddles: ca.turtlebeach.com/products/velocity-one-rudder-pedals Class Echo Device: shakeprint.com/
Yes, the in game ATC is not very functional. It doesn't transition well from departure to enroute to approach. I have got it to do a complete flight but you have to be very specific in how you set up the flight plan.
@@banditflightsimmer6446 About how I remember it. It would always tell surrounding aircraft to change altitude like constantly. Anyway I have not loaded it up in like a year but with WT fixing this aircraft I will probably come back. I seen some cool addons like FSLTL and Pro ATC that has me very interested.
Hi, great video. Thanks. I do hear a rattling noise when going full throttle. I press to/ga, go full, then AT. But keep hearing a fast rattle. What might that be/What am I doing wrong there? I also hear this btw when not doing any AT or TO/GA stuff.
@@banditflightsimmer6446 First of all, thanks for getting back to me. It is for sure not related to TOGA id say. I hear it when I go full throttle, like a switch or a relay switch is rattling. Have not figured it out. Maybe its more like a geiger counter sound, and only when I go near full or at full throttle. Also mid-air. (at any speed) I must have some disrupting setting/switch/function on somewhere which is doing this. Could be one of the hardware switches on the Warthog. But no errors on any of the display. So quite puzzled. If you dont have a clue, thats okay. It was worth a shot, since you have some knowledge on the topic :)
It is no longer in Beta, it was released with the latest MSFS update. You don't need any other mods for the Longitude, in fact you should remove the G3000 mod. Cheers!
Select split mode on the Pilot PFD control panel then you select the active pane using the left knob on the MFD control panel and then select select what you want displayed, traffic, map, etc.... You need to have you mouse control in Lock under accessibility in order to change panes. I'll show how in the next video.
@@banditflightsimmer6446 The panel with flight plan,procedure,map settings,etc.,that has an engine settings button and two more that are greyed out,so i cant use them.I see in the video theyre not greyed out.
I noted you have KLAS of FlyTampa. I know that this add on is in the market place. I would like to download that in the community folder. Is it possible?
Hi. Go to the PFD control panel on the left and make sure you select split if you are not already in split screen. Then using the left MDF control panel highlight the aera you want to control using the bottom left button using the left click spot.. Once the panel is highlighted you can select Map, Traffic or Weather to display them on the PFD. I believe I demonstrate this, if not in this video, then another on the Longitude. Cheers!
@@banditflightsimmer6446 ah!!! I didn’t get that part. By no means I’m I an expert, I thought maybe I was doing something wrong. That VNAV is awesome when doing restricted climbs. I’ll arm FLC and then above 400 feat, flaps up and VNAV on. I think I read that somewhere…. Lol. Thanks for the videos you do, I like to follow along with you.
There is no mod for this. You'll get it on the next update planned for January. Bandit is using the beta version of it. If you have the mod for the previous version like I do, you must delete it. It won't work with it and it won't be necessary,
Gumper is correct, I recommend waiting for the official release next month. I have had issues with the beta affecting control bindings, even for aircraft that are not part of the update.
I updated, and when I hop in Longitude, I get main black screen, and the center ones are white, does any one else have this problem??, please help if you can...
