How to find X-Plane bugs: sit Austin down and make him play. :D

I have been developing scenery for FSX and P3D for the past year, and just started to study how to convert it to Xplane. Watching your KZfaq video makes me want to accelerate my pace.

You're so lucky to have the opportunity to meet Austin, he is one the Guys I admire. What he did with X-Plane is just amazing...

Surprising to hear Austin would build a $1M+ plane and did not put an autopilot in. I would forgo glass cockpit but even a basic autopilot is a must, especially for single pilot IFR in an advanced/fast aircraft.

Austin is such a nice guy. Talked to him via email a couple of times, really down to earth man.

The G1000 shows altitudes for the approach if you go into the flight plan (FPL button).

Thanks guys, we've been considering the real flight gear G1000 for our flight department sim. This really helps.

Hey, Austin, Why don’t you tell Philip to work with Saso Skiselkov To add all those functionalities or just an API to make it easier to add those functionalities, Saso had to do OCR on the screen to be able to use a simple keyboard to the G1000 because it wasn’t even though about in the first place by Philip, he had to basically overlay the synthetic vision over your displays, When he contacted laminar for help you pretty much went « nope, don’t even dream about it ». in the end Saso ended up getting the TBM900 out by bypassing all he could. More interaction and helping from laminar with the developers would help a lot of them getting better, more stable products. and I know for sure that the TBM900 only made a lot of people get into x-plane, that’s something you can’t ignore...

So great to finally meet you Austin! Thanks for taking the time to do this video... I really enjoyed it.

Torquesim's Pocket Rocket for XP11 has the Synth. Vis. Live wx overlays have always been a rare luxury. That peripheral is awesome nonethless, thanks for the presentation!

11:00 the altitudes show on the g1000 in my DA40NG. Both in the FPL view as well as in moving map on each waypoint

I believe you are referring to tactile feedback in the switches , that turning click feeling in turning knobs that have multiple setting in one button and in the push buttons so you can feel that the button or switch was made verses not knowing because you couldn't feel it . Much like we look for in sim racing in both wheel button switched and button boxes and paddle shifts.

You need the range rings corrected, you need a working fuel prediction (one that is accurate i mean),

Not all g1000s have synthetic vision so it’s not exactly missing. We have a fleet of g1000 equipped 172S and none have synthetic vision.

Wow! Nice to meet Mr Austin sir

Excellent and informative

buttons and knobs are always going to be cheaper feeling than the real deal as you can clearly tell by Austin's reaction to the buttons. But RealSimGear is the real deal so yea, I'd say it's worth the hefty price. What do you guys think?

Great video, what kind of screen is that and size

The ADD nature of Austin really explains so much of XP development over time.

This guy should seriously apply for a QA job at Laminar!

Please ask Austin to allow trim association to mouse wheel.

Can't wait for synthetic vision

This is what I use now to practice using the G1000.

Would love you to do Austin's reaction video to FS2020 when it comes out. That's going to go viral.

I'm about a month into IFR training in the Cessna 172 G1000 version and the sections of the MFD Austin claims "you never really use to complete a flight" I use for every single IFR flight (specifically the AUX page). It would be really great if they could lose that mentality and get down to brass tacks in simulating the full functionality of the G1000 in X-Plane because without those elements of the MFD you can't do complete real-life checklists and it omits crucial steps in the cockpit workflow, which is not good for effective training purposes. So, Austin: could you put in the good word to Phillip?

Can you share the specs of the machine running the sim please? How do you maintain such a constant frame rate?

Interesting that you use a thrust,aster joystick while selling the gladiator.

Wish they would update their Baron to the G58. Or have both the traditional B58 and G58 like they did with the 172.

Very Nice!

Oh so you just hang out with Austin? Hmmm lol

Hello, my popup window on X Plane 11 has been with the buttons since the latest update. Can anyone help me how I can get the buttons away so I can use it again with my RSG G1000? Thanks :)

lol we get it. it's not a live stream.

Good afternoon, I was wondering if this product works with P3D?

Amazing

Funny - all the critique from Austin.... the lack of functionality is coming from XPLANE direct (lack of synthetic vision, weather etc....). Remember, this screens are just screens... the S/W is coming straight from Xplane.

ha ha great show better then little britain ;) do we get an inbuild editor to localize architecture now evry where i fly i see usa style buildings in xplane? probably better to program wifi comunication so i can use all my surplus android devices as dials etc.

Problem solved :-) Thank you Michael for helping me and sorry to bothering you

Can you tell us what that monitor that is, and what you would recommend for a widescreen possibly ultra wide monitor for X plane 11, and MS2020

How about a trillion times easier. I've been simming for two years now, started on FSX, now on Xplane11 exclusively. I never thought I'd ever master instrument approaches or IFR flying, but using some of the planes with the Garmin G1000, particularly the Cirrius Vision SF50, (included with the sim) helped make learning all of this stuff a ton easier. All I usually do is fly a direct-to flight to whatever airport I'm flying to, set up the ILS or RNAV approach ahead of time and store it, Check my radio info. and approach HDG ahead of time, which you can do on the Garmin right from the flight plan info. button screens, and make sure I arm my approach maybe 100 or 80 miles ahead of the airport or arrival, and make sure I'm at the FAF altitude either manually or using VNAV (which this also taught me how to use), and I just let the GPS roll me over to ILS, hit APR button, and watch the plane do a perfect ILS landing. I usually just do a basic to Vectors approach. RNAV is the same procedure, just minus the radios. It's absurdly easy once you get some practice. I just did a flight last night from San Antonio to New Orleans KNEW Lakefront, and mainly at night, and I had a near-perfect ILS landing using the Cirrus and Garmin G1000. It worked flawlessly. 1700 Ft., hit APR, watch plane land itself. Nearly. I've also learned a ton about what a good approach is: nailing your speed transitions, when to do flaps, gear, etc. How to do a good base to final. What lights to do when. I've done flights to Canada or BC in horrible storms and stuff, and had perfect RNAV landings or ILS with the Garmin in XPlane. My only complaint is the NAVDATA keeps going out of synch. I wish XPlane would auto-update basic fresh navdata every month or six months, or whatever, saving me from having to buy an expensive subscription to Navigraph or what have you. The beauty of doing a full GPS Nav flight to whatever airport is, once you arm your approach, the Garmin automatically rolls you over from flight to approach and it's pretty effortless. As long as you nail your approach altitudes, you're good! I love it. It's also a lot easier than mastering the FMC, to me, at least. It's much more user-friendly and more intuitive. I also love the huge NAV map screens and options. Once you learn how to edit and assemble flight plans and waypoints, it's even better, and working VNAV (although only for descents) is icing on the cake. All this has also inspired me to learn approach plate reading, and barometer setting, and all the elements I'd almost ignored for a long time. I just keep learning, because if not, I cannot use the Garmin to its full potential, so it was a nice incentive. Also learned how to execute a GPS go-around using the Garmin which was a lot of fun, when one RNAV approach at O'Hare didn't work right, I just hit Missed, plane set up a go-around and reset my original approach, and then the RNAV locked on GS and that was that. Fantastic.

Hello, I have the MCP for the 737-800 Open Cockpits, can work with X-Plane 11 ?, What do I need to do ?, Thank you very much for your help, greetings, excellent explanation.

Good video. Better in long trousers ;-)))

What is the ñame of the screen?

How do you get that forward view? The only option I see is "forward with HUD"

X plane is the best sim out there.

I guess all the missing stuff should be there in P3D? It actually is important to train a Raimcheck as otherwise your not legal on a WAAS/LPV approach. And P3D actually runs many certified AATDs. As P3D's G1000 implementation works with Mindstar it should be there (for now only until v3 but v4 / v5 should be supported soon). Am I right? In this case P3D would be better than X-Plane? I wanted to buy Simionic bezels but these run with iPads and if these are no longer supported by Apple my setup is useless. So Simionic is out of the game but I need comprehensive simulation of every single function. Also too bad that Realsimgear does not charge a few bucks more for the real feeling of turning knobs. Why are there always compromises....

Hate to BUG you Philip :)

Thank you. What’s the name of the ForeFlight competitor?

When are you going to get your license/certificate Mike?

They have just "disabled my product key". No answer from Laminar Customer Service I've emailed. I purchased XP from their official website and paid € 60,00 (I still have the invoice). I can't play XP except demo. Can anyone help me please?

Hello Austin

I want watch flyng lives with Austin

I have a question. Why shall I choose x-plane vs flightsim? I am wanting the best sim for my flying

Where can I buy this set?

What type monitor is that ?

Is it just me or did he let one rip @ 1:22

Is that using only the XPlane G1000, or is there some proprietary software running the displays?

When did Big Al get out of prison and start flying sims?

Nice Equipment. A bit pricey for me though :(

Wow, he's very Narcissistic, shame, but X-plane is brilliant

HI A strange sound at 1:25🤣

Austin has a very nice product in X-plane. They go over and above to put everything in their product that they physically can. They do yo-mans work, it's incredible how much they code every day. That avionics coder must be busy all the time. Wow, what a company Laminar is. I believe Austin owns an airplane in the real world....pretty sure but not 100%. And I'm sure that helps him program his x-plane creation much better and much more accurately. The flight model must be best-in-industry for all flight simulators. Wow, also I think I heard Austin say he coded X-avion (sorry for spelling) himself to compete with ForeFlight, he's a really good coder because I have heard nothing but good things about it. Phillip Ringler is a good subcontractor who really knows his stuff. Check how detailed this article is he wrote: developer.x-plane.com/author/philipp/ Just incredible.

dude send me a link for your exzavion vs foreflight. its like forskin, they are making me go apple at my flight school lol

It’s 4 years later and we STILL don’t have SVS and proper weather in the Xplane1000, and the graphics STILL have tons of shimmer and jagged edges 👎 A sim can have the best flight model in the world .. but if it looks like crap no thanks.

Lol blaming Xplane bugs on the equipment

You should never climb in VS, could end up getting you into serious trouble

This guy explains it like everyone knows what hes talking about. But unless your actually a pilot most of this is gibberish!

What size monitor is that?

I think that Austin’s arrogance towards his developers and outsized ego just turned me away from x-plane in a big way

I've been trying for many days to talk to the developers of Microsoft Flight Simulator but they really don't want to hear from anyone. They are "know at all" people. They should be more humble and open for suggestions. If not we will ended up with another x-plane stupid mentality. X-plane is stupid. Limited mindset and greed. I wish Microsoft had never stopped making flight simulators. I can make a list of 10 reasons why x-plane is stupid but I doubt the guys at x-plane have a brain able to understand. They write code, that is all.
