Xbox FS2020: Autopilot Landing (😱) & RNAV Approach using the G1000 NXI Mod 

Wow, I've never seen the Vulcan in RL - that must have been a very special sight.

Thanks, very much appreciated.

Thanks Steve.

Best of luck ;)

Great to hear ;)

Yes and good the Glide Path indicator (the Diamond) now seems to come from the top down - which is the normal operation.

Yes it's fun to try once or twice.

Wow, that's something that I certainly did not know! thanks for the info there Aces, it's quite fascinating 😲👍

Great to hear Steve.

Thanks. I'll bear that in mind ;)

@@Huddison No thank you man. Absolutely loving all of your content. Cheers.

Interesting - I shall try and replicate at some point.

Wow thanks too Gerald :)

Congrats on the flight and landing 👏. I'll have to properly look into deleting (and importing) flight plans on the Xbox consoles.

I may redo one, specifically for Xbox MSFS, but I do have this one here I made a while ago: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ul9OkRbVBb4.html

Nav can still be fairly buggy - sometimes even I have to restart flights because of it.

I'll cover that in my next video in this series.

@@Huddison awesome,!

That's interesting. Thanks for the information John.

RNAV is satellite based and therefore more accurate; whilst ILS is purely ground based. I guess it'll come down to aircraft type, conditions and preferences etc, as to which one you would use.

This will best describe it & yes scary thought re the pilot flying the footballer: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_director_(aeronautics)#:~:text=In%20aviation%2C%20a%20flight%20director,with%20or%20without%20autopilot%20systems.

Very interesting. Seems like FD clears the AP and other settings on G1000. Will keep practicing your videos

Are you saying that you were having difficulties steering the aircraft on the ground after landing - have you got rudder controls setup?

@@Huddison I don’t want to hijack your video comments but it was just an observation of what I believe is a bug. But thanks anyway and keep up the excellent videos

@@ct9037 No problems Colin and thanks.

You're welcome!

Hi Colin, no I didn't disable anything prior to left clicking the Approach mode button. It still seems to be a little bit buggy, please try it again to see if you get the same results.

I not certain if they all do, but best to be doubly sure and input the Nav frequency (like I show in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_slFj0hDwQw.html) and you should capture the Glidepath/slope.

I'll have to look into that.

Nav mode will follow a flight plan you may have set up - Heading mode will simply follow a heading that you instruct your autopilot to follow (360/000 is the default set heading).

@@Huddison I feel like a dummy asking that, haha..

@@markcarrico7908 No worries - I'm sure I asked similar early in my Flight Simming years 😉

@@Huddison I just wish I could remember all of the terminology..IFR, VFR, ILS, CDI, FLC, VORS..I mean, I am getting alot of them memorized and what their meanings are, but geez! I did recently look up what the barometric pressure is for, but it always seems that it is preset when I start out..I have not had to adjust it one time yet, because it's always set to the correct number..My BIGGEST issue right now is learning which runway I need to taxi to, because I don't want to play with the taxi ribbon turned on, I feel like that is cheating..I just wish I knew from the start where I need to go when given a runway number..I know that the numbers have to do with heading, but it is still very confusing to me..Same with landing on the right runway, as well as flying the correct traffic pattern when landing...Even with all these issues I have, this is still a fantastic simulation, and I am having a blast with learning it..I do have a few gripes with the Xbox series s version, which is what I play on since I can't afford a gaming PC..THE BUGS!! Primarily the bugs with the HOTAS T flight one..I also purchased a mouse and keyboard because I knew the game would be much more accessible with keyboard and mouse, and I refuse to try playing this simulation with a game pad..I bought the T Flight One on day one of the release, and the fact that Asobo has not yet patched the Hotas issues does irritate me, because they knew that alot of people were going to buy that peripheral just for this game..How it is still so screwed up is beyond me..I do have all the buttons mapped to where I want them, despite all being labeled wrong in the keybindings, but what irritates me the most is that they still haven't patched the sensitivity settings saving..I don't leave my console on when not playing it, I always do a full shutdown..The fact that I have to keep starting fresh with setting up sensitivity Everytime is ridiculous..I wonder if this is an Asobo issue, or if it's a patch that needs to come from Thrustmaster?? Anyway, I'll shut up, haha..Having great fun so far, and your videos are very helpful to me, as well as very comforting videos..I watch them whenever I start feeling stressed about life, and they always help calm me down..You're the man, Huddison..Keep them coming!

Known bug but they have a workaround if you use external instruments ( I use AirManager so all I had to do was change a referenced variable)

@@john-or9cf Thanks. Not really sure what that means so I will just deal with for now. I also don't use a mouse with the Xbox. Using the controller to navigate the display and Hotas One as main control. They really need to solve the Hotas issues. Ive learned to deal with but the first month or so was a nightmare . Not being able to save Hotas profiles and sensitivities is really ridiculous given how much it costs.

They should've fixed the Hotas One mapping issues by now; I keep hoping it's around the corner, as it's been a fair while since they've know about it.

@@Huddison I bought the full package. Including the rudder pedals. Which sit in a corner collecting dust. It took all my patience just to reset the sensitivity each time and deal with the poor trim recognition on the throttle.

Can you do a video on ILS landing on 172 ?

Which buttons in particular?

Not sure what point you're referring to?

It seemed to give the same result under fully AP, regardless of the approach speed.

See the other video, I linked at the very beginning of this video, for an explanation for many of your questions (particularly what the Y and Z mean - see the comments of the linked video).

Join the Discord (link in the description). I'm sure we can help you better in there.

Do you mean other than Heathrow?

@@Huddison sorry did not explain that well on the nav screen i get to set airport id but i can never get it to activate wen i land at an airport instead of quitting and having to set new flight plan

@@goofydudeoutdoors614 I think I know what you mean & my next Livestream (Sunday 10th Oct) will cover this.

Oh no - keep at it 👍

Not 100% sure what you mean Barry?

Is that after you've passed it?

@@Huddison No its At 6:43 on your video. BTW your videos are excellent.

🙏
