Today we look at why you should fly the Cessna 414 Chancellor by FlySimWare in Microsoft Flight Simulator, taking the plane on a flight from Boston Logan International Airport up to Bar Harbor, Maine.
I heard someone (AvAngel maybe?) describe the difference between the 310R and the 414 as, “The 310R is the plane to fly when you want to go anywhere. The 414 is the plane to fly when you want to go somewhere.”
Thank-you for a most enjoyable C414 flight. My name is Guerry, I am relatively new to MSFS, and I enjoy videos like yours in order to learn. Currently, I have upgraded from the C152 to flying Carenado’s C182 RG to further develop my flying skills, since for many reasons, I am not a big fan of the C172. Given your flight was relatively routine, I am pressed for comments and questions related to it. However, it seems your GA aircraft of choice is the C310 (I have already viewed your earlier videos). Would you please brief me as to why you prefer it over the other twins available on MSFS? Once I have developed my MSFS skills to the point where I will enjoy flying a twin, I keep an eye out for one that will exploit the capabilities of MSFS the best. As of now, the C310 does appear to be the most comprehensive choice. However, Carenado’s C337 does look inviting. As an extension to my question, have you looked at that aircraft? If so, please give me your thoughts. Again, thank you for the video. I look forward to viewing your next post.
Welcome to the wonderful world of Microsoft Flight Simulator. A good single engine GA is the Just Flight Piper series. They have an Archer along with the Piper Arrow and Turbo Arrow. These are well made GA aircraft to help You with your journey.
Hey, I live in Boston and actually work for JetBlue so I’m in that area and see the cape air planes almost everyday, I’m wondering what graphic mod you have for Logan airport in the game it is extremely accurate
Yoo say it handles nicely, but nicely in comparison to what? Because what I see is that it's sensitive and twitchy on the controls just like pretty much every other MSFS aircraft, except for the Comanche. The way you were all over the runway on take off roll and how the nose was going up and down so much on approach really says it all.
I agree, it did look twitchy. I have the same problem with my aircraft although I suspect much can be fixed with tweaking the controls. For example when I turn off the autopilot, the aircraft suddenly pitches up or down and this may be something to do with the trim. I would have thought real aircraft when coming off autopilot would continue to fly stable. But going back to your video and in respect of the reply comment your aircraft did seem as he said, twitchy. Can you reply to this and give a reason….maybe your sensitivity of your yoke may need adjusting to that particular aircraft. Before I finish, I have a Brunner yoke and when I first flew the King Air analog from black square the control of the aircraft is pretty firm, except like I mentioned before, switch off the autopilot makes the aircraft pitch up or down and I must then stable the aircraft with trim.
I have a 1981 Cessna 414a POH on pdf if you desire, just holler if you'd like a copy emailed to you. it's based of the TSIO-520-NB. engines same as the sim, you'd made a mistake and said type J in the video. created link below.
