Flight Simulator 2020 - How to - Cessna Citation CJ4 - Set flight plan

[@dhblan8591]

Thank you for this basic tutorial on this flight planner computer. As mentioned the G3000 is a bit more intuitive. I am a new flight simmer and have been totally stumped by this on board unit. I am looking forward to more information such as loading and activating an approach with this system. Thank you again and stay well.

[@Highintheflightsimsky]

Hi DH Blan good to see that you liked the video. I will add the idea of the approach to my list of video's to record so keep an eye on my channel. Thanks you again for the feedback and stay well

[@gypsysoul1719]

Learned a few things about setting up a flight plan from your video, thanks! Pretty clear for most of it but around 15:10 in the video you start doing a lot of fast clicking with little or no explanation of each step, so it becomes hard to follow. A tip for future videos, leave the cursor on the button you just clicked for a few seconds so viewers can find it, while explaining why you clicked that button.

[@Highintheflightsimsky]

hi GypsySoul thanks for your feedback I will take it into account for the future

[@kolecava]

Awesome, thanks for this! Was looking at few KZbin videos but none of them explained the onboard computer, only through Menus...

[@Highintheflightsimsky]

thanks for the feedback

[@kolecava]

@@Highintheflightsimsky do you have any problems with holding FL at all? Sometimes it just wont go up or down the selected altitude. 29.92 Altimeter, under 250Knots, heading works tho.

[@Highintheflightsimsky]

Check the altitude button for the autopilot. There are a few options in the airliners also which resulted in the same. Try to see if you can push the button up or down. In addition to this use the VS button to increase the climb rate sometimes also helps.

thanks Ziepex good to hear you found it easy to follow

"Remove" ! Nice ! Good tutorial How to "remove" waypoint ! Niceeeeee

[@Highintheflightsimsky]

are you asking for a tutorial how to remove a waypoint?

[@bikerboy3k]

Mega channel 👌

[@Highintheflightsimsky]

thank you

[@captainmegaxenon2042]

great tutorial. thanks :)

[@Highintheflightsimsky]

thanks megaxenon Captain

[@jrbmwpower]

how do I differentiate an airway from a fixed and a transition? I never know the theoretical difference to know how to distinguish when putting together a plan.

[@Highintheflightsimsky]

Airways is a predefined route which is used during your flight and consists out of multiple waypoints. The airway is in most cases used after the standard instrumental departure (SID) if I am correct. The transition is where you change from the CRZ to the standard terminal approach (STAR).

[@Morfik45]

so, when im making waypoint, for example DME04, im getting 12 page'd list of every DME04 in the world, how i am supposed to know, of which one is the only one i want.... do i have to press every single one, and clear if its the wrong one?

[@Highintheflightsimsky]

Hi Morfik no every entry should have it's country code behind it. Based on this you would be able to select the correct waypoint.

[@Baleur]

They are ordered by distance, so top one is usually right.

[@cebb111]

SID AND STAR ARE MISSING .. Good vídeo but there are so Many things missing

[@Highintheflightsimsky]

Carlos true but it is always hard to decide what to cover and what needs to be covered in another episode. So based on your comment I will add it to my list of video’s to create

[@erictheaviator737]

Where do I set the squawk code in the citation, is it automatic, cause i can't find where to put it?

[@Highintheflightsimsky]

Hi pizza4cowboys normally the squawk code would be set automatically, if you want to set it manually you need to look into the MCDU menu which contains an option to set the radio/navigation and squawk code which is set to 7000 by default if I am correct

[@erictheaviator737]

@@Highintheflightsimsky thank you kind sir

[@Highintheflightsimsky]

no problem

[@brunsniggel]

My FMS just says NOT IN DATABASE for every airport i input. Any ideas?

[@Highintheflightsimsky]

Hi Dr. Zoidberg did this happen after the recent update?

[@brunsniggel]

@@Highintheflightsimsky world update 4. Didnt check before

[@Highintheflightsimsky]

Hi Dr Zoidberg just checked it and for me it works fine. Any specific airports that you try to add to your flightplan?

[@SwiftLikesGames]

how do u change ur squawk code im new

[@Highintheflightsimsky]

By default the squawk code is set automatically unless you modified the assistant options to increase the skill level

[@horstbremer7637]

Haha. 10 degrees west of Greenwich def seems like the wrong fix

[@Highintheflightsimsky]

yep also figured that out

[@vhperches]

Thanks!

[@Highintheflightsimsky]

no problem

[@friendlyskiespodcast]

MSFS flight computers are a fucking disaster...every tutorial (including my own) we try to show how it's supposed to work and then encounter a million bugs.

[@Highintheflightsimsky]

Yep it sometimes is frustrating only thing we can do is report the issues and hope they will be fixed in the future

[@buschpilot2375]

Thats a bad explanation. A lot is missing. How do you insert the other waypoint GRAYE in between the others again and so much more...

[@Highintheflightsimsky]

Thanks for your feedback, I hope everything was clear, I will make sure I will explain it better in future videos.
