Takeoff, navigation, and bugs in the B350 King Air in Microsoft Flight Simulator

[@dirkbreer8174]

The best 33 minutes of my msfs-life. Thank you, Jonathan!

[@davidkennedy7549]

Click the compass?! How you figure this sh$t out is amazing. Another great video. Thanks.

[@jonbeckett]

It's called spending far too long tinkering with things :)

Hi Johnathan, my name is Jawad and me and my son are big fans of yours. we are just trying to make our FSX experience more interesting. I have found some add-ons on the fly away and we are getting our computer connected to the internet. A lot to learn still.

[@jonbeckett]

Thankyou very much! If you would like to tag along on any of the meetup flights, I'm sure those attending will be happy to answer any questions. Natalie (my daughter, that often does the flights in FSX) will be able to help you!

Slow down using FLC and set throttle to idle and speed to a low value, play with those inputs. I use props same as throttle and sometimes I set ot Feather ! or REVERSE for a moment.

[@friendlygiant2502]

Thank you..could not figure out the gps mode to automatically follow the flight plan

[@marcw.5492]

What is the Model of this Garmin GPS equipment ?? 750 ? 3000 ?? thanks ! Btw I was able to add actual Feathering for the Props using SPAD. THere is a Snippet out there that worked !

[@jimseaver9487]

Thanks. Very helpful

[@bobialhusaini9842]

Thank you so much

[@abbynormal7389]

Very good show. one thing i don't know is how to change the barometer. >> Update: I found the knob for it....

[@jonbeckett]

Yep - most altimeters have a knob for it.

Hi Johnathan wondered if you had a problem in the King Air 350 I where the glass cockpit disappears before take of and after is there a setting I am missing new to the 40th but not fo MSFS. Cheers

[@jonbeckett]

Not seen that.

[@mariuszwojcik689]

@peterrees907 - does it turn off completely? I had that when I forgot to turn off the engine starters. Simply turn off the started once engine and it should be OK.

[@barrycobbley3331]

Thanks, I could not find how to set flight plan, go direct, etc. Also, I was having the same throttle issue you were having where it sorta gets stuck at high power. I found that if you move the prop rpm setting down and then back up it seems to help and you can reduce power with the throttle. Not sure if that is a bug or just how the King Air works, but suspect its just a bug.

[@jonbeckett]

There are lots of bugs in the various aircraft - and some of them have "FADEC" throttles too - which means the throttle doesn't necessarily operate as you might expect :)

[@JacobBasheer]

I have a question, how do I enter an airway?

[@jawadbabar1]

I tried to install little nav map and it says it’s missing MSVCR120.dll 🙂

[@jonbeckett]

That the Microsoft Visual C Redistributable. Interesting - I've never had it throw that error at me. If you google it, you'll find the Microsoft installer for it.

[@SAMM0608]

So this was not an ILS approach?

[@jonbeckett]

Nope.

[@SAMM0608]

@@jonbeckett Can you please share tutorial which has all these steps along with an ILS approach?

[@jonbeckett]

@@SAMM0608 Just showed a similar flight in the new Black Square bonanza - check the channel :)

[@stevenhaldane5910]

this plane is very buggy i tried it earlier on and eventually gave up because of some throttle issue

[@stevenhaldane5910]

Then again after watching this video I realised im an idiot

[@jonbeckett]

@@stevenhaldane5910 not an idiot at all - I thought while looking at the plane "this really isn't finished at all"...
