X-Plane VFR navigation tutorial Orbx Southampton Just Flight Cessna C152

[@egleeson]

The best X-Plane KZbinr by far. I think you need to change your electricity provider.

[@GripperSim]

Thanks EdZedd! : )

[@glennherlihy3440]

Love it. Well explained. Keep them coming

[@GripperSim]

Thanks Glenn! Have a great X-Mas! : )

[@mattlilley5638]

Was looking for a video to make this easy, and I’ve found just that. Great video Sir, keep it up!

[@bradsparks6008]

Reaction is ace! I watched this last year and since got 10+hrs towards my ppl and this video made the classroom lessons alot more easier!

[@GripperSim]

I'm delighted Brad! Brilliant! : )

[@Corsair8X]

So well explained. My favourite feature of Southampton is the brickwork aircraft parking. If you like grass near the runway get Shoreham. You'll enjoy taxiing and the almost art-deco terminal building is very nice.

[@GripperSim]

Thanks Corsair! I'm glad you found it useful! Thanks for commenting! : )

[@roysquires9486]

Perfect. Easy to undestand and very useful. Just one thing. Pints of AVGAS are so yesterday. Try a double AVTUR with ice & a slice of lime. Very nice!

[@GripperSim]

Ha haa! I like it! ;;;)))

[@555gta]

Was just looking for vfr flight charts online today. Great video as usual

[@GripperSim]

Gad you enjoyed it Ryan! : )

[@jonjo140547]

Most enjoyable presentation and entertaining and informative

[@GripperSim]

Thanks Jonjo!

[@georgemad4145]

i fill so dumb well very clever tips and nice explanations helped me a lot!! to achieve self confidence on vfr

[@CromUK]

Love the video, bought a map using your link and just planned and completed my first VFR flight in X-Plane, Thank you

[@GripperSim]

Glad to see it Crom, Thats how we do diversions in real life in VFR.

[@usquanigo]

Cool vid. Definitely interested in this process with wind.

[@GripperSim]

Thanks Usquanigo! I'll get to that at some stage!

[@craigdunnicliff7878]

Brilliant, I did a lot of pilot training in a C152 and your video brings it all back, very informative and easy to follow,...... have you thought about being a flight instructor?

[@ddv2511]

Would love to see more about navigation :)

[@GripperSim]

Hi Dennis! I must have missed your comment! I've some simple tutorials on the G1000 since your comment.. More VFR stuff to come too! : ). (Sorry for the late reply! Opps)

[@caspermayne]

Great video, I like the you explained and simplified things. And yes, we need wind calculation please : ) I'm flying the same aircraft.

[@GripperSim]

Hi Alexander! Thanks for your complement! I'll get the simplifyed wind calculations in at some point for sure! Thanks for watching! : )

[@TheBaron481]

Bloody brilliant

[@johnclarke1045]

Hey, I’m a recent subscriber. Enjoy the content and the narration and speech - very easy to listen to. Separately I wish to ask you if you have a moment to share your settings and more so perhaps your NVIDIA settings. I have a good system but it doesn’t seem as smooth. That said I have cheap basic monitor so that may be the cause. I have a i7 8700k 16GB RAM and FE 1080Ti Many thanks

[@GripperSim]

Hi John and thanks for subscribing! I'm delighted you like my content. I'm actually going to make a video on my X-Plane and PC settings at some stage. But for now, all the bars on my X-Plane settings are at 80% (No Shadows). my PC is as follows; My Mother board is an ASUS Z-170E Intel i7 6700 @ 4.00GHz 16.0 GB RAM AORUS GTX 1080ti SSD 1 TB SSD 500 GIG I have no special settings adjusted or changed in NVIDIA (I'll have to look into that). Also I have no wether add-ons as yet, weather add-ons can slow down your FPS (Frames Per Second) on your system, I'm on a lookout for one. Also I use the PC for X-Plane 11 ONLY, nothing else is running except X-Plane 11. I'm told the Motherboard is very important so I bought one of the more expensive ones to prevent a bottle neck. I'm going to put a more detailed account of my X-Plane settings and PC Spec in the description in future videos on the back of your comment, so thanks for contributing to the channel! In fact, only yesterday I went looking on youtube for PC's specifically build for X-Plane, I found none, the next time I'm lucky enough to get a new PC, I'll do just that! I hope that helps for now, but I will make a video on my PC and X-Plane settings soon. See you next week and thanks for the comment!

[@pappybo49]

Reaction Review I, too would be most interested in learning what all you use in the way of scenery, airport, weather etc. add ons. What about head shake? Are you using your mouse or a camera for that? Thanks for making great videos. And thanks for sharing them

[@willswings]

I love yours tricks and tips ! please make a tuto for wind nav

[@GripperSim]

I'll be adding tutorial on wind at some point Wills, for sure. Thanks for your comment!

[@johnambler3107]

Great video I really learned a lot thanks 😎 have you done any more videos like this on navigation?

[@philnthomas]

Great video been watching your videos for a while now and just clicked subscibe button lol what sor of frame rates to you get with your specs

[@vascoyar1691]

No checklist or magneto test?

[@Conor18chaney]

Defo would like to see the more involved technique that includes the wind factor!!

[@GripperSim]

+Conor Chaney thanks for your comment Conor. I’ll do that as some stage for sure! 😜

[@MMOBIBLE]

Great Vid. Why not doing a full VFR tutorial with the same quality of explanation. Liked and subed.

[@markrice23]

Could someone please explain how the calculation works to get 12 minutes? Is it assuming a ground speed of 80kts? If so, how would you use this trick for a faster plane at say 110kts?

[@RogueLlama-fp4ts]

You do the distance divided by the speed and then multiply it by 60. For example, if you need to go 30nm at 110 knots, you do 30/110 x 60 = 16.36. So 16 minutes. Hope that helps

[@markrice23]

@@RogueLlama-fp4ts Thank you this helped. I must have been having a slow day when I asked this question 😂

[@MuzafferB74]

For what speed are we doing that divide by 2 ETA estimation please?

[@tr1ppy86]

looks like 80kts (no wind)

[@roryonabike5863]

Well done and entertaining! Is the Orbx scenery accurate and detailed enough that one could navigate from a chart?

[@GripperSim]

Absolutely, It works very well, you could always navigate in X-Plane as in the real world, Orbx just makes the scenery much more detailed, Even down to power lines in most cases!

[@roryonabike5863]

@@GripperSim Thanks.

[@TheManxMarauder]

How do I switch of the pilot character please? Since the recent spate of updates I have him in the cockpit, I have tried pressing bottom combination for ages and reading numerous articles without success.

[@GripperSim]

I don't think you can Manx...

[@tonymerlot9305]

I thought you were waiting 5 minutes for me to do the math. 10 clock x 3 equals 330 degrees....turns out I lost my wifi connection lol😆😆😀😁😂😂

[@GripperSim]

Ha hah yes Tony! 33 X 3 = 33 just add the "0" for 330 degrees. I hope it helped and thanks for watching! : )

[@elvascorro5125]

By the way, nice watch. Can you share the brand ?? …:) Thx a lot

[@GripperSim]

Hi Jose! Its a Diesel watch, I bought it in SFO airport a few years ago, I tried to find one on the web for a friend buy couldn't find the exact model, maybe I didn't look hard enough! Thanks for watching! : )

[@stephaniemayer6043]

Wind coreection

[@tonymerlot9305]

Pilot. vlogger. and a mathematician. ..I would just ask sir I distance an time 😅😊😀

[@GripperSim]

Ha haa! Thanis Tony.

[@tomasmalina159]

Hi. Sorry but this is not VFR navigation. Absolutely not. 👎 Would not work at real definetly. There is always wind there and is changing along your flight. VFR navigation is based on comparing what you see outside and you compare with your chart... Another important point - your landing is very dangerous! ☠️☠️ You are too low on base and final leg. Over buildings and infrastructure. If you would lose power (very offen with such old planes as Cessna, Piper... = piston engines) you are not be able to glide and land at airport or any usable field) you would die and you would kill people below.... Trick with clock and azimuth is nice! 👍 How you calculate ETA?
