I love this airplane !! I have experienced some problem ... especially in the FMS that sometimes make the SIM stuck for few second.. hope the Developper can solve this issue. Also .. the texture need to be better.. I feel everytime I use this addon to be back 10 years ago ...

It can definitely be a bit disruptive, but it works. Hopefully it will get fixed soon.

Thank you for this lesson. Always as informative as it is concise. A few more flights with you and I'll be feeling right at home in this superb aircraft.

Hi, nice video. Have you tried using FLCH during climb? Our FMS is setup that it has a V-target of V2+10 until 1500ft, passing 1500ft transitions to 165KIAS and then at 3000ft to 250KIAS. So, we engage FLCH and AP passing 1500ft, and then choose Manual Speed between 180KIAS-210KIAS depending on our weight. Once we are clear of constraints or received all possible initial directs after departure, we accelerate to 250KIAS until FL100 and then usually revert back to Autospeed. From there on, our FMS is scheduled with CLB speeds of 270KIAS/M0.75. During the whole phase we usually keep FLCH, as it provides us with max climb performance unlike VNAV. I tested V1 before, but wasn’t really convinced by the power profile and the MCP. Would be nice to get a feedback from you as you seem to fly it regularely in xplane. Thanks!

Very nice video Fin, your the reason I'm flying the G550 in X-plane thanks to your tutorials. Also, could I get the link to that livery?

Thanks for the kind words! Here's the livery: forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/file/90781-n870cm-glf550-akd-studios/

Excellent video...started using the 550 very recently and you've helped a lot. I cant engage VNAV...missed something in the FMS? I know I have to close off the plan with destination airport but do I also need to programme the arrival as well. I dont usually do the latter until later and when I get arrival instructions from the controller? Thanks

Hey guys I hope you can help me. I can't get the damn thing to pressurize. All engine bleeds are on, isolation is off. I have 38 shown on my engine bleed. If I turn on the APU mid flight and the APU bleed it'll decrease a little bit but then sky rocket back up. I'm thinking it's a weird glitch...

am I the only one having issues with the speed when I engage autopilot since the new update ?

Runway was 30R

How do you get the MFD waypoints and magenta line to be much more legible and not super small

@finthepilot4678 3 ай бұрын

That was fixed with the X-Plane 12 version, it’s still small on xp11.

I can't get my flight controls to move, where is the gust lock, apparently I have to remove that?

@finthepilot4678 Ай бұрын

Around time stamp 0:36 you can see the side of the gust lock in between the throttles and the flaps. Its a big red T handle on the right side of the lower pedestal. It should be pushed in to disengage the lock.

Why do the LOC and GS indications on the FMA disappear when you disconnect the autopilot? Should LOC/GS not be kept in even when flying manually, so that the flight directors can actually display something meaningful?

@finthepilot4678 Ай бұрын

Yes, it should stay. The g550 does some weird stuff, and this is one of them. I’ll talk to the dev.

@bw3446 Ай бұрын

@@finthepilot4678 Thanks. That seems to be a major bug and essentially prevents hand-flying an ILS with flight director guidance. Can approach mode at least be reactivated without turning on the autopilot again?
