Love your short little hops across the US in very interesting and varied aircraft. Keep it up! I wouldn't say no to more videos on the IXEG737 though, that aircraft is truly one of the best Flight Sim aircraft available.

[@ChrisMcCarroll]

I’m from Key West. That scenery is amazing. The detail is so true to real life. It’s beautiful

[@dealwolfstriked272]

That was eye opening to how much of a boost flight sims have gotten recently.People wonder why the flight sim community is suddenly growing at such a quick rate and its due to immersion baby!!! That just looked amazing Jeff and thanks......

[@ThatBobGuy850]

Very nice! It's truly amazing how far these sims have come. Someone who was transitioning to the Commander back in the 1970's or '80s would have literally killed for such a good simulator. Great video, man. As a pilot I thoroughly enjoyed it. Makes me want a Commander more than ever now!

[@sdevilx1074]

I have a condo in Key west and visit often and I absolutely LOVE the approach! The scenery is amazing and love the challenging and bumpy approach great vid Jeff

[@bohlder]

This video means a lot to me. My first memory of flying was in a commander when my father flew them. His name was Jeff. I also, a year ago went to the Keys to SCUBA dive like how him and I used to do. I know you didn't mean it, but ya hit my heart a little. Thanks, man.

[@flybyairplane3528]

Bohlder that is a real problem, diving then flying, can really get your tit in a wringer. , happens when we go as a group,,you stop diving 1 day before flying.

[@Corsair8X]

What a machine! Beautiful flight and the default weather clouds were beautiful.

[@3dmonkeybizz]

Great plane, great pilot, great review and great fun... Great all round. Many thanks!

[@stponyt]

I flew in an aircraft similar to this and holy shit take off and landings are the scariest. This plane throws around on the ground a lot, we were shaking side to side on the takeoff and landing. Also, the turbulence in the Bahamas is no joke! (Went from Nassau to Eleuthera)

[@CT-5736-Bladez]

Amazing video keep up the great work Jeff favigano

[@glock_2234]

I love it I love it I love it I love it...keep up the good work been here since you started

[@blairguinea6811]

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

[@jbob1871]

Hey Jeff love seeing all the X plane content

[@gjman1972]

Awesome work I love flight sims and just planes in general I remember playing the very first Microsoft flight sim in the early 80s it's amazing how far this technology has come, great job.

[@FirePilot2020]

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 😉 Thanks for posting this, I’ve just started looking for a good sim model of the 690 and it looks like this one fits the bill.

[@AndyMv3]

Subscribed, thank you, great videos keep 'em up!

[@DavidVanmeterDutch]

Darn good flight!! Love that airplane!! Bob Hoover!!!!!!!!

[@manleybrittain1296]

That was a great flight, I love the scenery!

[@buckzx12r]

Great video Jeff!I just got this plane,and its a great plane to fly!

[@kennethmichael81]

Very well done indeed Jeff.

[@Brad_Horn]

I love the sound of that plane 😍

[@dowtie1997]

So awesome good video jeffo

[@MorrisseysMonkey]

I have the 'XP Realistic Pro' too and it's bloody brilliant!

[@markmiller6844]

Nice vid Jeff. Trivia: That stand-in ship model that pulled the "Philadelphia Experiment" disappearing-act was Cunard's Queen Mary 2 which has never visited Key West and is technically an ocean liner rather than a cruise ship, but the distinction is fuzzy, sort of like that bit of the scenery.

[@kimbrandwijk]

Really liked the video, and it helped me decide to buy this plane. Now I noticed you mention around 4:50 that in the real plane, an orange light comes on at engine start. I have watched a start up video of the real plane, and checked it in X-Plane. You need to set the 'NTS test' button to the engine you're starting. Then, when you move the ignition from 'FUEL PUMP ON' to 'AIR START RUN', the orange light will actually come on, and extinguish during the start up. Not a major thing, but just wanted to share it with you.

[@jferg4242]

Jeff, new to channel/subscribed. Fantastic X-Plane 11 videos (please do more). Have you ever done your setup and recommended addons? Thanks John

[@colind8935]

Great video keep up the great content

[@jimmy4745]

hey jeff at the belgian coast they have found a hole b17 flying fortress with the crew members aboard greets from belgium

[@blewyd]

Try carenado pc12 please. It's my only payware airplane and I wanna see what u think

[@danielouw2095]

In level flight I trim the aircraft full nose down but it still pitches up. Any help?

[@cjwoods188]

That plane sounds so good

[@TrainerAQ]

I love that plane!

[@aidansmith7054]

You should do more xplane videos that was AWSOME

[@mgatenoch]

The plane you saw as you land is a Cubana AN-24 that was hijacked to Key West and never returned

[@cachinerof1]

I love in Miami and I’ve done the Key West in my uncles Cessna Skyhawk. We normally fly out of Fort Lauderdale though

[@Sir_vAce]

Those default xplane clouds look nice :o

[@Al-ud8qi]

Usually, if there is a battery hot annunciation on the panel, it's because that aircraft has NiCad batteries which have a tendency to get really hot and thermally run away and potentially burn a hole in your aircraft.

[@mmheydon1725]

I’m so exited omg!!!!!!!

[@jakesVB]

I love this

[@nolanbennett2734]

My dad just got back from a diving trip in Key West, I can see why he went 😍

[@muzikman183]

yeah man, saw frooglesim review it, had to come see you fly it!

[@peteg913]

To combine the two MIA sceneries, you need to use Overlay Editor and open the Drzewiecki Design MIA scenery package, deleting every single object from the MIA airport itself (it takes quite a while). Click save when you’re done, and Nimbus’s MIA airport will appear for the MIA scenery while the downtown skyline will appear from DD.

[@dustinreft4576]

What throttle quadrant do you use?

[@aarong.4691]

You need to try flying this thing like Bob Hoover. I would totally watch that

[@bran756]

Hi thank you verry much for your fantastic vid,such a shame the avadine system is u-s I was wondering if you knew how much the licence was for the upgrade to garmin 750, anyways I am looking forward to purchasing this fine airplane to add to my little fleet as twin turbos are what I fly all the best and thank you for your time to show us this fine aircraft.

[@timol437]

Nice review.....interesting AC to fly,

[@supernooby5075]

How about use that to go to lukla

[@kublukichuo]

I had the same problem. I moved the kmia hd scenery above Miami city and that worked for me.

[@emkayy_]

Jeff , Can you plzzz do a flight from Delhi (India) to Dubai (UAE) On Xplane 11 only . I am an Indian and I want this flight but no one on KZbin did it . Can you plzzz do it ? I will appreciate it 😀

[@DTPGMedia585]

Just for your info triangle sign in bus sim means yeild yeild mean slow down check and go but don't stop

[@acetiger9337]

He knows what the word yield means my dude.. Hes been alive for well over 34 years

[@x_s3asoning122]

I'll Like To See Jeff Flying An ATR Aircraft

[@blusky121]

Awesome all the way around! Kudos! Could you describe your computer setup please? I'm putting together a new box and would like to have the level of performance that you have. Thanks.

[@smeash1080]

I wish I has x plane11 but it just cost to much but i still have fsx anyway love your vids keep it up!! Also you are my favorite pilot on KZbin I also want to be a pilot my self and when i want to learn i just come to this channel first

[@maarten3225]

nick//double1 shit game crashes. expensive planes.

[@smeash1080]

Yep thats my dream :/

[@grantmiller6570]

very nice.

[@quitypopper2795]

fast landing

[@BIMMERKID2]

How would you add the gtn750 to the panel??

[@23t22]

What headset do you use for Track IR?

[@DeltaTristar500]

one of my fav GA aircrafts

[@rogerdepass9028]

bit of a flat landing, you forgot to show what the cockpit looks like at night. you mentioned you were going to do it at the end. great audio on the A/C and rendering.

[@g.d.f7817]

I like your videos i just got a idea you should a series flying in the Caribbean or bye different islands in the world.

[@timfarrar531]

Jeff, could you do more PilotEdge stuff? Loved those videos!

[@nharris792]

Jeff, I have been trying to start the engines, and followed the checklist slavishly, but after start the EGT's both register 0 degrees (having climbed and reduced as normal), the horsepower needles flicker significantly, both beta lights are illuminated, and I cannot remove the starter locks. Clearly I am missing an important step, but cannot figure what it is - hope you can give me a clue.

[@viceboys]

jeff i've been waiting for house flipper patiently... give it to us!

[@blewyd]

Can u pls fly pilatus I wanna buy one but I wanna see if it's worth it

[@ryanawilson8549]

I watch a few flight vlogs and they are constantly communicating with ATC. Are there sims that are more realistic in that manner?

[@airwipe1639]

Ryan Wilson not real,y but I’m sure there’s plugins for that

[@MichaelVanHeemst]

I really want to see you fly the Cessna 210. I know you have/had it

[@TankOR9563]

Would be awesome if you did a vid on what X-Plane mods you use the most. Freeware and payware. I enjoy the flights. Thanks

[@samisaarelainen]

Hey Jeff. Awesome video like always. I wish I could download even 10% of the knowledge you have with flying. Would make everything easier. Question! Have you tried Carenado 500S Shrike which seems to be pretty much same plane, just an older model.

[@jfavignano]

I do own that, got it when I got this. It's in the pipeline

[@emkayy_]

Hi Jeff , Can you make a tutorial on how do you download planes and airports in such great quality . Plz make a tutorial .

[@mrvwbug4423]

Not surprised that a good part of the avionics don't work, I've been burned by Caernado stuff in the past too. Bought their TBM and it turns out that it doesn't work properly in XP11 (despite their claims) and the G1k unit was basically a paperweight. Got run around from both Caernado and Laminar when I tried to get a refund.

[@mrvwbug4423]

Because it was purchased from the org store. I got run around from both Laminar and Carenado. Certainly will never buy their shovelware again.

[@marcusbrown5947]

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

[@guilhermerego4210]

which addon do you use to that checklist voice?

[@PaulieCav777]

Watched the whole Flight Jeff. Talked me into BUYING THIS GA Model !! Thankyou for Great vids & Tutorials !!😊👍👍

[@jfavignano]

You are very welcome friend

[@auzzy20]

Will you ever fly on pilot edge again I love the video you did with @catstator

[@auzzy20]

Spelled his name wrong on accident oops

[@chesterbloom]

When you're on the ground and you say "let's get our props set up", moving the condition levers only adjusts the fuel governor to increase or decrease engine RPM (as noted by the N1 drop when you made the adjustment). The propellers are controlled by the Power levers only while on the ground ie. in BETA mode. You can have the condition levers at max or min it doesnt't matter when on the ground. No matter how fast the engine is spinning, the propellers will make the airplane move and to control the propellers, the power levers are used. BETA MODE ONLY ie. taxiing Once the power levers are advanced forward of flight idle, the function of the power levers is then transferred to the fuel valve to control engine power/RPM and the function of the condition levers is transferred to the propellers. There's some specifics on underspeed and overspeed governors and fuel topping governors that dictate exactly when the switching happens but its automatic for the most part and is only really applicable to the guy sitting across the desk from the examiner on the ground portion of a flight test. All this doesn't really matter since its a simulation but that's how the airplane works IRL if you are interested.

[@9999AWC]

Hey Jeff, how do you learn to operate so many aircraft in X-Plane 11 so fast? I mean I'm a pilot IRL and I still wouldn't learn this fast! I'm really thinking of getting XP11 and DCS, but I won't be able to commit the time supposedly needed to learn to fly all the aircraft in both sims.

[@MalibuRider]

AWC i'm actually a PPL cessna pilot and you will learn the others planes quite fast. There are many tutorials all over KZbin. Just take you're time and you will see it's not that difficult :) many airplanes have interactive checklists, so the checklist shows you which button to press etc. After a des times you know what to do

[@dkashvideos]

Jeff, can you please tell me the website you used to use to get your fuel measurements, flight plans, and autopilot settings

[@opnreplays4556]

DkashGaming I’m pretty sure it’s SimBrief it’s a common one

[@janisga1]

Hi! Thanks for video! Where are you get this nice water (wave) texture?

[@PaulieCav777]

Janice ! Please use correct grammar,...Maybe WHY you don’t get a Descent response...lol. Anyway, Did you find out where to get a decent Water ADDON...?? Paul, ( No disrespect intended)...👍😊

[@colonelcactus2462]

Hey Jeff. Your game looks great. Can you give me a list of all add ones you use? Also, what’s your computer set up?

[@jfavignano]

it's in the description, the weather is default

[@WILLYBREATH_v]

Same i always watch these types of videos like i wish i could do that shit!!!

[@zzodr]

Do those horsepower limiters work? Seemed to be over the redline for quite a while after takeoff. Just wondering.

[@jfavignano]

yeah, I have a new flight model by Aerosim for it now so that is fixed now.

[@shottskii]

What is your PC setup? Have you made a video about that? I’ll search now.

[@fordjw111]

Could you do a flight from KSMO TO KAVX or other way around?

[@paulphibbs5362]

Hey Jeff. You forgot your flaps. Oh well. Nice flight and good landing. Thanks.

[@jfavignano]

no I didn't

[@paulphibbs5362]

Sorry to be clearer, you forgot to RAISE your flaps after landing.

[@JonWylan]

the ship in the harbor at 32:18 is hilariously flat LOL... but the overall scenery is beautiful!

Simmulate a crash or a broken system. Show us how you can recover from such a catastrophe.

[@juddow]

Hey Jeff, do you have a list of mods you use for X=Plane 11?

Josh Patterson Hi Josh,...I’m VERY satisfied with Using (X-CAMERA) for Views around the Aircraft, & “Fly with LUA” scripts like(Passengers FX), for Cabin & ATC voices,....also- (BETTER PUSHBACK) for a Cool departure Immersion,...& also AIRPORT NAVIGATOR for Finding my way around the Airports & Taxi-ways...ENJOY !😊👍

[@CJbrinkman602]

hey Jeff just a quick question, can you get Photoreal in bulk. OrthoXP is a royal pain in the ass to install, thank you

[@maydaygoingdown5602]

CJ Hi CJ, you can download Ortho4xp in bulk but it will take a long time:). All depends on your internet download speeds and provider. I have the entirety of Europe in Ortho4xp installed, I did it all in 48 hours. Used lod level 17. Due to the massive total size of tiles I installed the lot on a separate 4 TB hardrive and created a system link directly to Xplane 11 which is installed one of my 500Gig SSD.
