Transatlantic in the Longitude | Real Airline Pilot 

same. This sim really lacks any serious ,large business jets.

Same here, I'm really happy to see it gets some love now!

He's a ryanair FO after all. Unofficialy. Still a lot better then floating out of the TC zone and overrunning the runway into a comfy death.

😂

😂

Was great to show what the plane can do. If you *should* do it is a different question of course 😂

@@A330Driver Fair point. However I'm sure EASA would take exception to the 900+FPS touchdown. 😜

The Longitude is a powerful plane, you can expect some pretty high pitch angles indeed!

Assuming you're already mindful/aware of how the wind affects your plane on the runway, then I bet you it would help to lower your pedal sensitivity substantially. Getting your sensitivity set based on "feel" is what you should go for - making changes leading to better controllability. But yeah, other than that just make sure you're not missing some basic understanding about how the wind affects your plane (weathervane effect in particular).

I have them adjusted already. Still when I watch the videos, everyone handles it perfectly spot on. All I need is a tip.

sounds like your over correcting, which is very easy to do on PC pedals, since they offer no resistance at all to the quite large leg muscles of an average person. try putting your feet in one spot and waiting a second, if your feet are constantly moving left and right on the pedals, the plane will do the same. there is a bit of a delay in the sim between what your controller does, and the aircraft reacting, makes a lot of people over correct non stop.

Smooth and small inputs is the key. As Boeing says "squeeze and hold"

I'm using the pedals (accelerator and clutch) from my Logitec G27 Racing Wheel for steering this and other aircraft. But I must say it took me quite a lot of experimenting with the sensitivity settings within MSFS to get it working. And as said by others, very subtle inputs. I use my toes slightly pressing the pedals. I have no idea if this is relevant for other pedals, but this is my settings for the G27: RUDDER AXIS RIGHT (rev) - JOYSTICK L-AXIS Y (accelerator pedal) RUDDER AXIS LEFT (rev) - JOYSTICK SLIDER Y (clutch pedal) The sensitivity settings were as follows (same for both axis): SENSITIVITY- = 40% SENSITIVITY+ = -30% DEADZONE = 0% NEUTRAL = 60% EXTREMITY DEADZONE = 0% REACTIVITY = 100% One thing I always need do before I start rolling from a standstill is to move the pedals back and forth two or three times so the front landing wheel is forced into a neutral position. Sometimes it gets stuck in a turning position which can't be observed when looking at the front wheel in the external view. But this phenomena might be due to the G27.

It should do that, yes. But I've got a hit and miss rate of like 50/50 if it does it or not.

TOGA sets the flight director for wings level at the correct initial climb pitch.

As Collin says, it prepares the FD for takeoff mode and guidance.

Hi Daniel, You need the Aircraft and Avionics update beta.

@@A330Driver Thank you, Can you point it out exactly where I can go for this update? I checked and everything is updated on my end, Thank you

I recorded at 2x, anything higher and the plane would act up. The rest was done in the editing software.

It could do it before the update. I looked at some real life Longitude flight tracks and they went up that high on some 5 hour flights.

@@A330Driver Thanks. That's both scary and awesome at the same time. I currently don't have any aircraft in the sim that can cruise so high (Darkstar doesn't count) so it would be exciting to use the Longitude that way.

I much prefer 'lobster' though 😂

Nah, it is pronounced Lobsta, so Emi pronounced it correctly.

I wish Asobo would fix the doors on their a/c though.

You need to join the beta or wait until it's released to public. Should be this month so if you're uncomfortable with betas just wait until it's out. Shouldn't be a long wait now.

Yes FMS holds are available.

As Collin says, holds are possible.

@@A330Driver Thanks for the reply, that’s good news. Also thanks for doing the VATSIM series, with your help I have today completed (successfully) my first two flight in VATSIM 👍👍👏👏, I’ll send you a coffee soon but right now my nerves are in pieces and I need a couple of whiskey’s 😊

Hi Dennis, not quite sure what you mean with your question to be honest, maybe you could explain?

In the beta, yes. Give it a try, it's really nice!

I believe Premium Deluxe only. It can not be purchased seperately, but you can buy the entire PD pack on marketplace.

Not worth bothering with it in MSFS. And VATSIM isn’t always practical for recording a video

@@JohnMaxGriffin I agree about ATC in MSFS. I am considering Pilot2atc. Do you have any experience of this product?

@@JohnMaxGriffin my biggest complaint about msfs is ATC. Don't really like vatsim. ATC is as much a part of flying as the airplane you'd think they'd make it better.

Hi Peter, there just is no good ATC addon available for any flightsim at the moment. Thus I prefered not to use any ATC at all since there were no controllers online on VATSIM at the time I wanted to record this or in the foreseeable future.

It's INOP at the moment unfortunately.

A pity. Nevertheless thank you for the answer. I was trying to find that piece of information, but couldn't.

Are you sure about that Igor? Do you have any docs to read up on this? It'd be new to me, though I definitely wouldn't say that it's not possible as I'm not that familiar with flying that high across the ocean.

No, this is my amateurish suggestion as reporting is done in sake of separation, and on that altitude maybe it is simply not much the case

btw I really liked you cross the pond stream with an explanation of those specific procedures with a real airbus pilot.

Generally speaking there is no upper limit on oceanic airspace, for sure not over high seas. At or above FL55 is class A all the way up At 450 you woud be outside NAT HLA (north atl. High level airspace from 285 til 420) meaning you can fly without datalink mandate equip. FANS1/A (basically cpdlc and ads-c) as long as you have HF Nat Doc.007 is a "good" reading book lol Safe flights all, regards

As long as it’s controlled airspace, you still need ATC clearance. There are a lot more planes than you might think flying above FL400, I’ve worked numerous planes at FL510. Above FL410 you are above the RVSM stratum and need an additional 2000ft separation between aircraft. Only assignable altitudes above FL410 are in 2000 ft increments, FL430,FL450,FL470,FL490,FL510 etc.

No, you'd have to go the way through the MSFS world map to do that.

It’s the updated Longitude in the current MSFS Beta. Working Title completely rebuilt the avionics, systems and flight model. I’ve been flying it for a few weeks and it is awesome.

@@collinkreklow thanks! I am still scared a bit to enroll in beta :) i may wait until it is released for the public

It should be released to the public this month so no worries if you don't want to join the beta. It won't be a long wait.

No, it should be trimmed so that I don't need a control input before the flare starts. Whatever setting that gives me.

@@A330Driver There are literally charts provided by Cessna for the Longitude that give you Trim settings for landing depending on weight and wind speed.

Hi, I use default weather.

Hope you enjoyed it!
