TBM 930 - G3000 Creating an IFR Flight Plan MSFS 2020

[@LuckyInLondon]

Thanks much for your TBM videos. Newbie to FS2020 but after about 15 hours' flight time, once I found the TBM 930, it's difficult to fly anything else! But I just flew my first long distance flight from KORF (Norfolk Virginia) to KMYR (Myrtle Beach South Carolina) and man, now I know why there's co-pilots! Suddenly there was A LOT to keep up with during the 1.5 hour flight! Thanks again!

[@infocusphotographyandvideo]

Really awesome and helpful information. You make it so much easier in the way you visualize the whole workings. Thank you for your clear understanding.

[@broken49502]

I keeping watching your videos because I'm planning to enter flight school next year. I have zero knowledge about flying but you giving me a preview about it. Thanks!

[@broken49502]

@@NOTAM1 Thanks!

[@KT-ut9zg]

Great stuff. Came here from your cold start video. Great work thanks.

[@bdshort]

Great tutorial! I’ve been looking for stuff like this. Re: Your TrackIR being a pain sometimes - you can pause it from tracking while trying to mess with things like this, just in case you didn’t know. Makes it a lot easier to change settings on the AP, radios, etc. Default is the F9 key.

[@bdshort]

David Traves You’re welcome. The game will adjust the view a bit a few seconds after you pause tracking so just be aware of that.

[@Icaruj]

I also have the TrackIR, disabling the zoom on mouse scroll was a life saver for me. Btw excellent tutorials, all your videos are great.

[@NOTAM1]

Thanks Juraci, yeah I've tried to use the disable feature, but I have 8 years of muscle memory using track IR and never used that feature and I just can't get used to it. I'm trying to force myself but old habits die hard. I have gotten pretty good at holding my neck still though, lol.

[@BostonClipper]

TrackIR jumpiness. Use your left hand to cover the TrackClip Pro LEDs or original reflectors, while mousing with your right hand.

[@MrTurbine777]

Doing tutorials with TrackIR is easy if you pause trackIR and then use a quick mouse pan to center what you'll be explaining. Same for when not making tuts and just using it to enter FP's. I haven't touched TIR in years but the two best features it has is pause and recenter!

[@NOTAM1]

Thanks MrTurbine. Now... trying to retrain 10 years of head tracking muscle memory to use pause.... hmmm... Thanks for the input.

[@rexypoooo]

Great info and tutorial. I have been doing MSFS for a long time, and 2020 definitely make me fly more "sim" like than any prior so I am diving into programing flight plan. This is a great look for the TBM G3000, and I am much looking forward to a G1000 tutorial since I fly the Bonanza most. What I would really love to see is MS add MD-88 into the hanger, that is my most frequently flow ship when I travel for work and I flew it a lot in X-Plane 11

[@southlakelife]

Gread video! Am I the only one that hit the "Fly" button at the beginning?

[@jesussalmeron6374]

Excellent tutorial. Thank you very much. One suggestion: It would be preferable not to use TrackIR (or equivalent) to improve the mage stability.

[@tinysquid2135]

Do you know how to enter airways into your flight plan? Im tired of entering all the waypoints manually especially for longer flights. Thx.

[@thatsoslender]

This is great! Any idea how to input a via airway through the G3000? Can't seem to find it

[@novafluxx]

Appreciate the tutorial. I was looking for exactly this.

[@richardcarter5404]

Just what I was looking for, I managed to do a full flight with an ILS landing but this cleared some things up. Look forward to some more content. Btw we must be neighbors lol, I am literally 10 mins from CNC3 :-)

[@richardcarter5404]

@@NOTAM1 For Sure LOL, I have been taking a tour of the UK today (From there originally) in the TBM and loving it, I found the sweet spot for my system and I think for the first time since installing MSFS 2020 I am really happy with the smoothness of the sim on my system (i5 9600K @ 5Ghz, GTX 1080TI & 32GB DDR4 3000 & 42" LG 1080P TV). There has been a ton of negativity but I can now maintain 60 FPS a good deal of the time with pretty decent settings which is what I run in X-Plane 11. What flight controls do you use? I recently picked up a Honeycomb Yoke from Threshold Aviation and it is awesome

[@richardcarter5404]

@@NOTAM1 Did you try Threshold Aviation on Carlingview? That is where I got mine from, I am still using my Saitek X-55 Throttle Quadrant. I made a custom mount for my desk so it sits lower and just to the left side of my chair. The X-55 stick was nice but I can highly recommend the Honeycomb. Flying the FF A320 in X-Plane 11 is just sublime. It is so precise. I know regularly hand fly SID's & STAR's in the 320. I am still experimenting with the settings in MSFS as default values are quite twitchy.

[@brossish]

I very enjoyed this vidéo. Howhever i did exacty the same process and i dont have any élévations for the différents Was points in thé flight plan. Thanks for help

[@XCross64]

not sure if you still see comments but I hope so. I have a question. I have have watched this video several times and its very good but I have an issue. I am following your steps to a tee, or I think I am. But after I enter my waypoints, and then go to procedures and departures or arrivals, it shows which airport, but I get nothing when I click on any tab to enter information, like runway, transition, etc. Can you offer any solutions?

[@alhefner]

About that Trackir issue...head movement making it hard to control buttons and such... get the view you need then press F9...your view will freeze but you still have total use of your mouse and you can click buttons, switches, move levers, etc... pressing F9 again will take yo back to your regular tracking.

[@NOTAM1]

Thanks Al. Another user mentioned this, but after years of use its tough to get used to. I'm slowly trying to train my brain to use this though.

[@alhefner]

@@NOTAM1 Yeah, old habits and all that...

[@scootermason2746]

David. So the GPU doesn’t work at all? Does the Sim have infinite battery life? The KA 350 MFD is set up wrong. I noticed the engine gauges are on the wrong side of the MFD compared to real life KA. Supposed to be in Pilot’s field of view. My new PC won’t be here until Sept so I can get into the new FS.

[@ozmozis6073]

Great videos! Can you do a TBM 930 and VNAV? There isn't one out there...

[@aikidoshi007]

Nice work David, not a big fan of the TrackIR, but the content is great. You said not to activate the approach at one point, could you explain wny not, and when should it be activated, and what is the difference between doing that and the 'APPR' button on the dashboard?

[@NOTAM1]

Hey steve, thanks. Sorry for late response, I had to re-watch that part to see what I said. You would normally activate the approach on arrival (you could change the approach last minute if vectored and click activate approach) this would replace the approach that can now by started with the APPR softkey.

[@aikidoshi007]

@@NOTAM1 Thanks for responding. I understand a bit better now that you may not actually know which approach you're going to be using until instructed by the tower, and that you may well be at the end of your arrival and have to set that up and activate it sort of at the last minute.

[@NOTAM1]

@@aikidoshi007 Exactly. Its not that this would happen all the time as you are filed and have a plan, but ATC has last say and if there is traffic or emergency or any number of reasons, you may get a different app. or even just vectored by ATC .

Great 👍 tutorial 👌 , I have question about airway, in flight radar I see airliner flying between airways not following any airways? Why and how they are managed??

[@vikramodedra4351]

@@NOTAM1 thanks, yes I did check both but looks like either they have company routes or FlightRadar Gold map overlay are old but double check it in Skyvector, they all seems to follow same route that is not on any of Hi /Low airways

[@frysimulation]

Great video. Thanks

[@kevykevTPA]

So does VNAV work? How do you use it? I was under the impression that it was broken, so I haven't even bothered messing around with it.

[@hammerman47]

Great tutorial thank you very much. If I may make a suggestion, don't use Track IR for your tutorials plz, sometimes it hard to follow what you're doing. Camera and mapping keyboard to views is better, The Track IR is making me feel woozy :/

[@Danilmorss]

Thank you! Very informative.

[@teslabolt007]

How do you get the altitudes to auto load into FMS?

[@sammiemagi6564]

[@sluciow]

I did have a question. If it’s not direct and there’s an airway. How do you enter that in?

[@peterluxus7382]

bravo!!! a very good explanation!!!

[@koshhh]

Are you planning on doing a ILS landing tutorial???

[@NOTAM1]

I am, just wanted to get the Navigraph SID/STAR series done first (writing now) as the approach tutorials will reference these videos.

[@koshhh]

@@NOTAM1 thank you!

[@Relentless0neFPS]

I looked up Navigraph. It's 8.30 EUR/month . Is there any free charts or flight plan sites/apps/software ? Not sure I want to be paying for something I'm still just learning.

[@Relentless0neFPS]

David Traves Thank you for your help. I’m not trying to add more work for you. I have been watching a few videos here and there. I have found that most KZbinrs seem to be using a paid version, mostly Navigraph. I think when I’m up to speed on everything, I will most likely pay for it.

[@Kushy0311]

hey david, i tried copying this guide and i dont have any departures for CYYZ? i updated the nav data with navigraph in fs2020 but even when i check the departures from the flight sim menu theres none only direct.. hope you can help mate!

Disregard.. got it. Great videos btw

[@silverfox673]

Outstanding

[@NOTAM1]

Thanks David, glad you enjoyed.

[@russ1978]

Do you always use a star if available? I sometimes see plans just going straight to Navaid on approach chart

[@NOTAM1]

If the airport has a STAR and you are filed IFR, you would have had to file using one of those arrival procedures pre flight, so yes if flying IFR.

[@russ1978]

NOTAM thank you sir!

[@russ1978]

NOTAM does that even include slow GA planes like a Cessna 152?

[@NOTAM1]

@@russ1978 Sure does, Its where most pilots learn Instrument flight rules. (the scariest thing you'll ever do as a rookie pilot is fly a 172 into a big international airport for the first time following all the rules you didn't have to know when flying VFR.) Its like everyone is just waiting for you to ef up.

[@russ1978]

NOTAM haha I can only imagine!! I bet the commercial pilots can’t stand it either

[@higor_alpha_romeo]

Is there a way to set the airways? When I have an fpl with a lot of waypoints is a lot boring put them one by one and if you load an fpl file from simbrief the FS don't load all of the waypoints.

@@NOTAM1 How can I do an fpl in Navigraph?

@@NOTAM1 Thank you

[@bilway69]

Why would it do the big loop on arrival. I find arrival very strange when you set it up with the procédures button. I prefer now to add my fix manually so it dosent turn me around.

[@NOTAM1]

If you are referring to the dotted purple loop, that is a holding pattern that ATC might vector you to upon arrival or a go-around. I'd have to check the charts to be sure.

[@bilway69]

@@NOTAM1 no actually the approch procedure that make you do a 360 instead of a direct approch like a real atc will give you. Or same as your chart will tell you to do.

[@NOTAM1]

@@bilway69 I'd have to see an example, but it may be to avoid terrain or allow another aircraft ahead to land in RL, would have to see an example.

[@bilway69]

@@NOTAM1 at 14:50 in your video. Compare your approch plate vs the approch procedure that the tmb will give you.

[@NOTAM1]

@@bilway69 Oh yeah, now I know what you are talking about... MSFS doesn't have all the proper transitions in sim, so you end up with some messy stuff sometimes. Don't know how it decides to vector you like this, but I just follow along as in RL ATC can vector you however they like at the end of the day.

[@corybrayshaw9927]

When I try and enter a flight plan nothing working, I enter my starting airport but it doesn't enter it?

[@NOTAM1]

are you starting with "flight plan" and then "add origin"? Also, do you have no flight plan loaded in world view? (just airport selected at a gate to start)
