Kiwi, I inputed my airport and destination. When I got to the airport radio just kept me at 2000 and I kept flying around the port. What should I be doing? Appreciate it.
My best tip, Always calculate how many miles you are from your destination airport so you do not overshoot the airport or or come in too early. How i do it is i figure out how far my destination airport is. Next i figure out how high i will be flying. So if i will fly at 10,000', then i take 10,000' and remove the 3 last zero's and end up with 10. Next i take the 10 and multiply by 3 not anything more or anything less, just 3 and i end up with 30. So then i know that if i fly at 10,000', then i will have to start descending 30 nautical miles from the runway at around 700-800 Feet Per Minute. When you follow this guide, you will alwyas get to your destination perfectly on time and at the right altitude. This tip is mainly for planes without the FMC. You're welcome. 100th like by the way. Nice video.
This is a wonderful presentation indeed! I'm planning to acquire my first sim and I have already started learning the ropes of operations from you! I have subscribed to your channel today.
Nice job Kiwi Mace........very informative n helpful, I have 3 flight sims and really want try to fly instead of just mucking around, I am sure you know what I mean, thank you Sir
I’m a rookie,I don’t understand all the nav modes,I think fsx is better in that way as you can plot a line between two locations and then just follow a purple line,I just fly for the scenery and feeling the physics of the ac. Vulkan is awesome in xplane. Those view tips are handy,I use a great trackir preset that moves around the panels and I can hold a zoomed view of any part of the cockpit,I can fill my monitor with one dial if I want(I don’t understand them ),the VOR tutorial in the flight school,I have no clue what to do,God does not like us dumbos.
Look up a video on intercepting and tracking vors in real life. The in game tutorial does a terrible job explaining what they actually do and how to set your cdi in the plane. Watching someone explain with a real airplane and chart and talk through it will help it make a lot more sense and you can transfer that over to the sim really easily
Ok. I'm lost already. Looking at both compasses, they are different. Notice the gyro compass is at 28.4 (I think you said) and if you look at the magnetic compass it shows 340 approx. So they are not showing the same thing.
Hey, well its been a long time since I made this video!! The magnetic compass is actually showing 020 (ish) - you can see the North indicator just to the right and 030 to the left. The DI aligns to about 025 when I press the key - so slightly out but not much. Remember these two instruments spin in different directions (North to the left on the DI, and to the right on the Compass). Hope that clears it up!
Can this sim be played with a game pad and keyboard or is a yoke required? I am looking into getting my first flight sim but do not own and probably will not be buying anything other than a game pad. Also, is this a good sim to start with?
Hey, you definitely don't need a yoke but I'd recommend a joystick at the minimum (I use Logitech Extreme 3D pro which is relatively cheap). Technically you could use a gamepad but it's more difficult particularly for GA flying. In the heavies a lot can be done via mouse and keyboard.
Thank you for your reply. Is there a simpler flight sim for someone who is just thinking about getting into flight sims? X-Plane looks like it might have a really steep learning curve for a dummy like me.
Hallo , ich habe den x Plane 11 schon länger und das speichern von Flügen ging immer aber sieht ca. 5 Monaten klappt das nicht mehr, wenn ich speichern drücke wird der Bildschirm grau . Ich habe einen Mac !
Hi Karl, there are two ways. You can press 5 on your number pad on your keyboard. I also have the default view mapped to a button on my joystick. Thanks for watching :)
What is the plus on my screen, and when i accidentally press it my plane just crash and goes straight out of control. Its middle of tm screen? Any help?
Hi, thanks for watching. Steam is a online video game store: store.steampowered.com/ . I would recommend X-Plane 11 but you will need to compare your computer specs to see which version you are able to run.
Is there a webpage with these shortcuts? I want to set one up for flaps, etc, but I use a Mac and the ones listed do not work. I’ve googled it but only has a few standard ones. Thank you.
@@KiwiMace Yes, that is correct. It doesn't assign though. I have the X-Plane official cheat sheet page from their site, which has about 20 options, of which I use a couple. I have tried the shortcuts you gave in the video but it doesn't work, possibly because I am using a Mac.
