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.

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.
@KiwiMace
@KiwiMace Ай бұрын
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?
@KiwiMace
@KiwiMace 4 жыл бұрын
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.
