Flight Simulator Lesson 2: Flight Controls

[@flighttrajectory]

Hey guys, thanks for the feedback! Sorry the website has been down so long; I had to switch hosting providers and had to wait for one to expire so I could buy it from my new hosting service. I should have a 3rd lesson coming soon!

[@Trucker1957]

Thank you, You are a very good teacher, you make learning enjoyable.

[@malcolmmcdonald9991]

Thank you very much for this video - clear and practical for a newbie like me.

[@abbieamavi]

simple in theory, but it becomes to much more clear when I can see it visually!! thank you!

[@donaldzinter5629]

Excellent,thanks! I am newbie, anxiously awaiting new Microsoft Flight Sim release - and you are helping me get ready.

[@siavashtoosi5017]

Fantastic lessons. Thanks very much🙏

[@CK4567123]

Thank You very much! This had lots of information & I would love to see a lesson #3

[@johnacord5664]

I am glad i stumbled onto your channel. I have been using the flight simulator for about 10 years now. I know I have picked up bad habits. Now I can correct them. Thanks and Merry Christmas.

[@russellgibson5013]

You really do a great job teaching, Very well done I congratulate you.

[@ida130437]

This is very helpful for my flight report. Thank you :)

[@Facts-fusion036]

YOU EXPLAIN THINGS VERY WELL 😇❤

[@Pfsif]

You explain things very well.

[@poomsaekata]

And also- is there a video explaining the thingie on the right near the dials? With the numbers etc? Thanks!!

[@mahatiru]

Thank you Teacher. I am catching up.. thumbs up for your lesson.

[@BK-it6te]

Very good, but what about the rudder you never used it while turning??? The turn coordinator???

[@felippevanzelli4840]

I don't know if it's possible, but it would be cool a start-up, pre-flight, takeoff and climb Lessons!

[@billyjay4672]

Hi Flighttrajectory where can I pick up this simulator and anything else that I need to do what you are doing. Thanks Billy.

[@engineerb2-ahmedabualhassa102]

thanks four basics six instrument this good video

[@BoxerDogs]

First you said that the twisting action of the joystick controls the yaw. But then at 2:32, you are saying that the foot pedals control the yaw. Do you use the pedals to control the yaw/turning only when you are on the ground, and not when you are in the air? I must have missed something.

[@flighttrajectory]

The joystick twist is used if you don't have pedals. The rudder pedals control the yaw, and nosewheel steering while on the ground. In flight, the rudder is used for rolling into and out of turns, as well as to maintain runway alignment during crosswind landings (but that's another lesson in and of itself...)

[@Zarkaithnia]

Thanks so much for the tutorial videos!!!! The tutorial in Flight Sim 2004 SUCKS. Much better to have a real non monotone person teach you and not rush you. With these tutroials I will finally have flying down!!

[@MeZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZ]

These are fantastic, is flight simulator free?

[@saifullahkhan4259]

Good video

[@PookieDeRose]

Thanks for the vids! What simulator program is this?

[@flighttrajectory]

X-Plane 9, though the latest version is 11 🙂

[@PookieDeRose]

@@flighttrajectory Thank you. Really appreciate you taking the time to do these videos.

[@oswaldolanda5651]

Hi whit Flight simulator are you recommend me? thanks

[@ricardozorio7751]

very good video! what simulator do you recommend?

[@flighttrajectory]

I'm definitely a huge fan of X-Plane. Most realistic, and you can have the most customization. Only downside is that currently, microsoft flight simulator X has an edge for available aircraft addons. (There are more and more becoming available on X-Plane though)

[@poomsaekata]

Hi- I am having a lot of trouble getting everything together including the flight simulator. Can you pls assist?

[@danlee7582]

I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@andrescastillo7977]

When using a game yoke, you can pull and leave it like so, for instance to climb; but on a game joystick it goes back to center position. How do you pull and leave the plane yoke in climbing position without holding all way long with the game joystick?

[@flighttrajectory]

Hello Andres, check out lesson 8: Pitch trim kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZjFeImEiN6Nl8k that's the answer for your questions :)

[@ericc7936]

excellent

[@Mojosoodope420]

Think I'm ready for the air now

[@pcroas]

What flight sim are you using? or recommend?

[@flighttrajectory]

I use X-Plane 11. Some of the older videos were XPlane 9 I definitely think X-Plane is the best

[@DEREKM5903]

My Joystick doesnt twist right/left,, any idea if this might be a problem for steering on the ground?. Recently purchased it, hopefully Ive not bought the wrong one.. many thanks..

[@flighttrajectory]

Nosewheel steering is linked to the rudder. However, look for an option in settings called "autorudder" or something to that effect. That should link up the ailerons with the rudder, so that when you tilt the joystick left and right, the rudder and nosewheel will move with it. A better option is to buy rudder pedals

[@DEREKM5903]

@@flighttrajectory Ok many thanks

[@dhiraajparmar7098]

What are these 4 red lights at 14:00 and what are they used for??

[@flighttrajectory]

Dhiraaj Parmar its called a PAPI, precision approach path indicator. It gives you a glideslope to follow when you're coming in to land. I guess I'll make a lesson on it to explain it better :p

[@dhiraajparmar7098]

flighttrajectory thanks for the reply.Make a video soon.

[@TonyP9279]

They only appear red if you're below the glide-slope. If your glide-slope is correct, you should see 2 reds and 2 whites.

[@flighttrajectory]

Dhiraaj Parmar check out my newest lesson for a better explanation of PAPIs and VASIs :)

[@RoofTopPigeon]

Flight Trjectory; what flight simulator do you use?

[@flighttrajectory]

I use X-Plane for almost all of my videos

[@Khalid49370]

Why didn't you tell about the 'flaps' beside the ailerons???

[@陈东海-u6z]

I hope be become a pilot plane

[@GreenAppleee]

Lorem Ipsum HAHAHAHAHAHA

[@Doriesep6622]

Great that you speak two languages. Here is your corrected sentence. Ignore haters. I hope to become a plane pilot.

[@mickeyslive9890]

what joystick are you using??

[@flighttrajectory]

+Mickeys Live I used the Saitek X52 for most of my videos, but after owning it for almost 10 years, it's starting to act up, so I recently bought a Thrustmaster Tflight Hotas X

[@ValJanela]

Thrustmaster are the best! Everything you need at a great price

[@joshuatucker3131]

where can i buy a joy stick?

[@flighttrajectory]

joshua tucker Walmart, best buy, Amazon, ebay etc :p Get one with a twist grip (rudder axis). If you go to www.flighttrajectory.com and click on "Store", it will take you to my amazon store where I've handpicked a few recommended joysticks, ranging from like $20-200

[@ron4969]

We're where you my first flight 👍

[@Khalid49370]

Why didn't you use flaps or elevators to climb up?

[@flighttrajectory]

+Khalid Hasan See lesson 9 about flap settings :) For a normal takeoff in a Cessna 172, you're not supposed to use flaps

[@Khalid49370]

uhu.. the question was about climbing the altitude not to take off..

[@flighttrajectory]

Khalid Hasan Flaps add lift but they also add drag. For most general aviation planes (including the 172), you don't climb with flaps either. Once you get into larger planes, you often takeoff and climb with partial flaps, and land with full flaps.

[@Khalid49370]

Thank you very much.

[@riddhi6610]

Hiii

[@joseenriquemelendez603]

Hello. Your task ling is not working.

[@flighttrajectory]

+Jose Enrique Melendez thanks for letting me know; my whole website appears to be down

[@stephenstead6333]

No flaps

[@arindampaul1790]

best

[@dawnstovall6685]

OK ok

[@prophetsj1180]

how to start the plane ?? Where's the ignition mr instructor ?? { smile }

[@flighttrajectory]

Prophet SJ Just for you my friend! Lesson 5 is published :)

[@gordonbrace2173]

Wow! me a pilot?

[@jasonMB999]

Lol

[@enochpowelghost]

when you said flaps down my girlfriend sat on the floor naked
