I’m genuinely impressed by the modeling of this, specifically sounds on the ground like the beta to reverse growl. Very much like the real airplane. I’ve flown the 500B, S, and the 690A and B. The nose wheel steering is hydraulic in all of them and is controlled by the first inch or two of brake travel range, but the goal is never to actually ride the brakes. Seldom do we use the brakes during taxi other than to come to a stop in the Garrett powered airplanes, mostly beta and reverse in low condition. If you push just a little further than the nose steering range, then you reach a brake application in the pedals. I’ve known 690 brakes/main tires to catch fire as the result of actually riding the brakes during a long crosswind taxi. The rudder pedals must remain centered during usage of the nose wheel steering - If you apply rudder the nosewheel steering system actually shuts off and the nose gear stays pointed where you last commanded it to. During the takeoff we set 250hp while stopped, release brakes, add power, and very carefully use inputs of nose wheel steering below 40kts as the rudder is ineffective. If the nosewheel steering is just a little too slow, then you may get a small jab of brakes, but that’s generally considered poor form. Also, you’re slammed through the 717.5SHP redline on your takeoff! Maintenance would not be happy with you as they took both engines off to send them for a full tear down and overhaul 😉

The Bob Hoover plane but newer

Great vid Jeff! Some of the procedures are not correct, and maybe not functioning either, but wow what a beautifully made aircraft by Coronado!

What throttle quadrant do you use?

What headset do you use for Track IR?

FAKE

A very unusual takeoff it was like almost 5 sec from advancing the throttles...i will feel weird on the real one

You don't "ride the brakes" but use "differential braking" until you have achieved "rudder authority" speed as you know it is a castoring nosewheel.

Were does he get all of those mods?

I'll Like To See Jeff Flying An ATR Aircraft

Cubana de Aviación AN-24 stolen from the Cuban government casually sitting on the side of the runway. Lol

How do you know what buttons to press is there like a tutorial

which addon do you use to that checklist voice?

12:25

Also how do you know where to taxi two runways or after you land I do you know what gate to go to?

I can spend all day watching your videos I have X-Plane 11 I just don't know how to program to find airports and runways

hey there jeff.. what kind of hardware you running? whats your fps? The game looks beautiful.

i came back from sydney a couple weeks ago

Awesome vid Jeff...........you got the style and I am loving x plane 11

That cruise ship isn't fully 3D rendered. Once you flew over it, it was 2D from above
