Real 747 Pilot Plays Xplane 11 | Flight Simulator

After playing Infinite Flight Simulator as a recommendation from someone in the 74 Crew I received lots of messages to play a variety of games. One of them was Xplane 11 so I take the Boeing 747 out for a few landings to see how it reacts compared to the actual plane.

You're such a good sport for doing this. I recall one of my 1st flights in the UK back in like 1996, had lots of turbulence and it was a very bumpy landing.

[@rodrigoserafim8834]

"I haven't crashed... yet" The confidence is overwhelming.

[@hekkoCZ]

To be honest, it took a lot of fooling around for me to actually crash the plane in this game, and I'm not a pilot at all. Unless you count the times I ran out of runway before stopping the plane because I approached too fast and didn't care to find out how to brake before trying to land a Boeing for the first time... and even that didn't crash the plane.

"On the intercom on a real plane." And then: Oh did I said that out loud?! Then totally quiet.

Alright, someone needs to set-up the proper X-Plane 11 for the pilot here. On a nice i-7, with the correct mods. Navigraph, SimBrief, Boeing ZIBO Mod, proper scenery mods, better Pushback Plug-in, Better ATC plug-in etc, and have him fly a full route. He would fall in love.

[@ericmabrey]

Kelsey, I have to agree with shan_rocks here. Get rudders, and throttle controls so you can be more realistic. Boeing ZIBO should also be more like what you're used to. Thanks for sharing this because as a sim-pilot only, I've always wondered how close some of this "sim-ing" is to actually flying in these commercial planes. The default planes are not bad, but with many talented programmers creating more aircraft, you can find better approximations than the defaults. Also, you can set your own key commands in X-Plane 11, so if you don't have reverse thrusters, set them to an easy to reach keyboard command (example ctrl+z). I also use one of my throttle axis' for spoilers. Hope to see more of your flying experiences in X-Plane.

Yes I agree. This game is merely a shell and shadow of the full capacity experience that many mods provide. Almost everyone plays a heavily modded version of the game.

12:28 "Alright let's try this one more time, I've got 2 landings and I haven't crashed yet, so let's do this third one and see how it goes." That's the attitude I want and need from the pilot of any flight I'm on.

🤣

[@rushillian]

To be honest, you’re really underrated.

[@dmwalker24]

As someone who isn't a pilot, but who has landed a 747 in X-Plane many many times, it took me an absurd number of attempts to get anything approaching what you accomplished in your first 3 here. I know the game will do a proper ILS approach, but maybe there was something wrong with how LAX was set up. Personally, always land at DFW.

[@tsmall07]

That first landing was still pretty impressive considering how late you switched

[@JoseVazquez-rw1uq]

2:26 I got nervous for you and screamed "go-around man". LOL.

I love it how when he did the first land he focused so much

[@obrotacos6391]

This Channel is so awesome :)

[@Daa253]

Wow you got the Honeycomb yoke! You got all flight simmers drooling.

[@74gear]

its pretty cool for sure Daniel, glad you liked the video!

[@Moshimulations]

Why are we converting him from a real pilot job to a fictional Pilot Job lmao😂😂😂😂

[@winterhelmgames]

Love your Vids! ^^

74gear you are the best aviation KZbinr great videos

Speedbrake tip: They are usually armed by hitting "speedbrakes up" once the lever is in the neutral position. You can move your view around by dragging with the right mouse button, so you know where it is. A quick thing for controlling the views yourself: W is 3-D cockpit, Shift 4 is orbit (the view doesn't rotate with the aircraft) and Chase (the view *does* move with the aircraft) is Shift 8. You can find all this stuff under the Keyboard tab in settings or bind select functions to your controllers under the Joystick tab. I recommend that you seach by name instead of going through them since there's a _lot_ of them. I guess the most important things to bind on your yoke would be pitch trim (Trim A and B were added recently for separate switches like on the Honeycomb you've got), the "forward with 3-D cockpit" view so you can recenter easily, "toggle thrust reversers" and probably "speedbrakes toggle" (apart from "hold brakes regular"). I could tell you all this sometime if you want, through Discord or Skype or whatever (you can share your screen in Discord)

He most likely wont response Its too dangerous for him to grand u acces even tho u are jusr shsring screens Maybe he needs to read about it first

[@AndreyAngulo]

3:43, 3:50, 4:00, 4:02 I love how you didn't do a sharp turn into the runway, which is what I would have done in my FSX lol you first lined up with the strip of land between the two runways and then lined it with the actual runway, that was absolutely clever!!! I'm gonna try that next time in my flight simulator XD

[@Tomcroese]

Nice to see old video to

[@kick7286]

Thanks for doing this. The FMS is tricky in Xplane sometimes. You definitely had to get rid of that discontinuity. No idea how you do that IRL, but in X, you want to click on the button of the following waypoint and the discontinuity will vanish. Selecting the right runway for ILS, just start your session sitting on a run way and bring up the Map (M on the keyboard) and right click on the runway you want and select 10 mile (or 3 mile) approach. You'll catch the GS etc without setting the FD or AP. Cheers
