My father has 2100 hours as PIC in this airplane. He flew N135LJ. You sir 23:45 have the keys to the castle for this airplane. My dads mantra was needle ball airspeed. There plane had a different AOA indicator that was installed in the 1990's. Dont ever hesitate to reduce power or increase climb rate in VS mode if your speed is out of control after take off. At a certain point you can pitch/trim down as far as possible and the climb power of this airplane can continue direct to 41000. Stalling this airplane dirty at 110 knots with a full power input will only loose 320ft of altitude. Im glad the simulator gives this classic plane the respect it deserves.... Even if its kind of a cross country Ferrari.

yeah, I found that quite interesting actually.... that one plane would use three different methods of power-setting, each in a different phase of flight. but the more people I talk to, the more I hear "yep, that source nailed it, that's 100% how we did it."...!

This must be the most indepth and complete tutorial on how to fly "old school radio nav" and like "@yams900" stated in his remark; it is the only way I like to fly too. That's why I fly the DC-3 and DC-6 in MSFS, I really don't like to fly the modern A3xx's or Boeings. The only disadvantage with the DC-3 and DC-6 are the long ... long flight times if you want to get somewhere. The possibility with the LearJet 35A to navigate with just the radios in combination with speed, have changed my interpretation of "modern air-frames" I was looking for another airplane to store in my hangar, and by watching this excelent video I know now what it's going to be. Thank you. BTW; I have the Virpil T-50 CM3 throttle and base i.c.w. the Virpil Constelation Alpha stick and I'm pretty sure it can map the "barrel" And BTW: I have found my channel to watch ... ;)

This video actually cuts past a lot of the flight which was purely navigational, but, hopefully there's enough left there to work it out. I agree with you on the DC-3 and DC-6 but I do a fair amount of flying those on my livestream. Here's a tip -- fly with the wind, not against it, lol!

Hi again. When I set the ILS frequency, do I need to do that in the gtn750 that I use, or just the nav in aircraft?
@SlantAlphaAdventures8 күн бұрын
I'm not 100% familiar with that setup... but the lower-end Garmin units are essentially substitutes for COM1/NAV1, while I'm pretty sure the higher-end Garmin units actually substitute for both COM1/NAV1 and COM2/NAV2. I would guess that if you are setting an ILS frequency somewhere, that's probably sufficient; I wouldn't think you'd need to do it twice. Generally you set the primary approach frequency in NAV1 and then (if applicable) the nav-aid for the Missed Approach Procedure in NAV2.

Great video for a great plane. I have one difficulty though. I have a Honeycomb Bravo and I can't set the reverses and cut off on the device. I just can't. Can you help me? Thank you very much
@SlantAlphaAdventures6 ай бұрын
I will have to check but I believe I bound the lower detent on the left-hand throttle to press and repeat F2, with releasing the lower detent bound to send F3. I do the same thing for the PMDG 737 and the Kuro 787. It's a hack-y solution, but it seems to work.
@jimallison1174 ай бұрын
@siae260tube, I use this setup: Reverser 1 Lever (On Press): Throttle 1 Decrease Reverser 2 Lever (On Press): Throttle 2 Decrease Then (assuming "Arm" is selected for both reversers at the top of the panel) I can pull the levers to extend the reversers and push the levers and push the throttle forward just a bit to stow the reversers.

I am having problems steering. Can you help what I am missing. It is very hard to turn and adding full power on the right and idle left and barley moves. I have no other issues with any other aircraft. I clicked on the nws button and to no avail.
@SlantAlphaAdventures4 ай бұрын
Referrence 32:20 in the video -- when pressing the button for nosewheel steering, make sure the green indicator on the glareshield illuminates, just as mine does. If yours doesn't, there may be a keybind interfering with the button. I'd check the FlySimWare Discord about that because I do remember there being some discussion wherein if you bind that button to a joystick input, pressing it with the mouse in the cockpit won't register. Either way -- if that green indicator is on up top, you should be good. If it isn't, that's where you need to spend your troubleshooting efforts. Best of luck.

Awesome video and very well explained. But I can't seem to get any pitch control once I have engaged the autopilot. If I don't have IAS or VS mode selected, I should be able to control pitch with my trim, right? And if I do have VS mode engaged, how do control the pitch? Is there a hidden control somewhere?
@SlantAlphaAdventures6 ай бұрын
basically yes... you'll need to set one control to the standard trim, and one to the default bindings for "autopilot pitch reference up / down" or whatever it's called. it's two separate controls. with the dual switch on the Honeycomb I use the left half for manual trim and the right half for autopilot pitch. but the real airplane has what they call the "barrel" which is a combo button / knob on the yoke. it's kinda funky, but, I doubt there's any sim hardware on the market which replicates it, lol...

@SlantAlphaAdventures7 ай бұрын
Not presently-- or if there is, it's beyond my abilities to know how. But I think one of the things they are working toward in the full release version is "state saving" meaning it loads up in the state it was last left. Fingers crossed!

@SlantAlphaAdventures7 ай бұрын
I just got back onto their Discord and found a statement from the developer that they are NOT planning to incorporate "state saving" but DO plan on incorporating a bootup option that would include the covers. There is also some conversation in there about editing the ".FLT files" to suit your taste -- but I imagine one would do so at their own risk of introducing bugs and other odd behaviors. I may or may not try this myself at some point. As it stands now, for my livestreams I simply keep a list of things I immediately switch upon booting into the plane, before starting the stream and the flight. It includes putting the covers on and throwing a few switches in the cockpit, basically.
@SlantAlphaAdventures7 ай бұрын
Dangit! I'm wrong again. As of version 1.1.1 a LIMITED list of state-saves HAS been added to the plane, according to the changelog. This includes fuel quantity, altimeter setting, chocks and covers, and interior tables and curtains. He says he does not plan to include any OTHER items in state saving because that can cause bugs with spawning on the runway, etcetera. So your prayer might be answered!
