@@bronney I've seen a lot about that. I've actually never used live pause. Only way I've been able to keep the autopilot from trying to kill me is turning it off a few hundred feet from the designated altitude. Then I just hand fly the rest. But of a pain but at least i can keep my 172 from thinking it can do aerobatics. 🤣🤣🤣

@bronney 3 жыл бұрын

@@JenniferinIllinois ha. So you die by airframe stress. Interesting. I find AP likes to kill you with trim when you turn it off. Just make sure your hands are on the stick when you do. So far it's only the live pauses that kills. ILS for example is totally fine. I turn off right before it hits the numbers and it's smooth sailing. I guess if you turn AP on right after taking off in the opposite direction it might try to kill you 🤣

Hey man, thanks for the video! Msfs 2020 is my first flight Sim and I've spent the last 50 hours flying my Cessna 172 around. Every vatsim video I see uses jets.... Is it discouraged to use these smaller planes on the vatsim network? It intrigues me greatly and am wondering if I should spend the time necessary to get familiar with a jet before jumping on the network. Thanks!

@captainhorn23 3 жыл бұрын

No problem my man! No, it is not discouraged to use general aviation aircraft. Lot's of people do it. But, the majority of people do use it for commercial airline routes. You can hop on the network with any plane! In fact, you will give the tower controllers more practice in the VFR area of flight haha.

When it comes to flying at big airports is it required to know the codes In order to fly in the area? I’ve been having trouble passing the test and I don’t want to make other people mad if I’m flying in a busy airport since I would have to use the codes. Is the best thing to do just fly at small airports so you don’t have to use the codes?
