X-Plane 12 Cessna Citation X is actually GOOD!

[@cobra10908]

The red handle you pulled to release the brakes is the Emergency Braking system. That system uses a pressurized bottle for emergency braking and requires maintenance actions after usage. The parking brake handle may be located on the floor to the rear of the pedestal.

i do occasional flight in a real citation x, although it’s model looks stunning, i’ll say it’s 80% correct, there’s a few switches which aren’t modeled, some that don’t work, such as the checklist buttons, and then there’s the entire top row of the FMC which isn’t active, therefore can’t insert custom performance aside from the default full performance mode. this said i was blown away by the physics, it’s almost study level for a freeware stock plane, hats off to laminar

A couple things... and I'm just picking on you bc I'm board and have nothing better to do lol -red handle is for the emergency brakes -tookoff with a "NO TAKEOFF" CAS msg -not sure why the transponder wasn't in TA/RA unless it was MEL'D or something -In the real airplane on the FGC panel when you are in NAV mode pressing the bank mode will not restrict the bank. Only restricts the bank in HDG mode. At least in my experience. -typically you just leave the yaw damper on. There is no limitation for normal takeoff and landing with yaw damper on. -ahhh the app and landing was a little fast lol -you want the T/Rs to be at idle at 70kts

[@flyobie]

^Also on start up you can use just leave the environmental pac's and bleeds' in the vertical position before start, on your cockpit prep

[@user-uj7vk5vr8w]

Right before landing, you changed your navigation mode. But didn’t explain that. Did you change from FMS to NAV? You didn’t mention anything about the frequency. So if I copy your steps, I will not be able to land because a chunk of information is missing. Could you please tell us what you did before landing?

Seeing something flying in this altitude is new for the Aliens - that´s why they wanted to check out your awesome-looking futuristic Cessna. To check out if it´s a threat for their mothership hidden behind the moon and if you can leave orbit with these awesome oversized engines. (Because to be honest in all other private jets the engines look like RC-toy-turbines with the air inlet of the size of a palm, this is the first private jet with some serious looking turbines mounted on the back!) Hmm it is true there are U.F.Os in Xplane. Amazing! I LOVE that feature! Next time take Fox Mulder with you on the flight in this area.

[@BluGames]

Haha yea facts! And thanks for watching

[@BahamianPilot06]

Just a FYI, at high elevation airports you want less flaps because of the high elevation.

[@BluGames]

Thanks i keep getting this backwards

[@akskydiver121]

Just a heads up, a lower altitude must be in the altitude preselect for the autopilot to capture and descend at the Top of Descent in VNAV.

The handle with red cap that you pulled is Emergency Brake.

Vatsim is a good training tool.. but i still rather recommend Pilotedge to prepare you for the real world. The busy-ness of constantly changing frequencies and readbacks, more reflects the real world. Plus the higher standard is so valuable

[@henkvandenberg2133]

Sorry, but in my opinion it is very difficult to fly the Citation. I don't know how the heading is working,. The flight plan does not work very well. I loaded a flight plan into the FMC, but not working at all. I looked at a lot of KZbin films of the Citation, but no one showed how you can operate the instruments and the autopilot. Your video is good. Maybe I am the one. I normally fly with Embraer Phenom 300 and everything works very good. I think the best aeroplane in X-Plane 12 and 11.

im unable to turn on the APU, and help? It gets to 7 RPM then powers down.

To turn on the APU: -- Batt 1 & 2 ON - Make sure left fuel boost is NORM - Avionics ON (or EICAS) - APU master (bottom right on APU panel) ON - Hold the test button and check that the APU FIRE, RELAY ENGAGED, APU FAIL, READY TO LOAD, BLD VALVE OPEN light up. should also show 50 rpm, 500 egt, and more than 22V - APU START switch to start momentarily this is the actual procedure for the real aircraft so it should work. You don't have to do the test but i put it in there for fidelity

[@kurtaxtell7559]

Who developed it?

[@jlalbee]

Is the yaw damper simulated? If so, must be engaged from right after takeoff until right before landing. Also, takeoff power until top of climb is entirely unrealistic. Engine speed and temperature limitations would prevent this.

[@BluGames]

Doubt it

[@johnbranson7452]

I cannot move around the cabin from the cockpit. How do you do that?

Arrow Keys, "." and "," to position the camera inside aircraft. W will reset to the pilot seat.

[@Persojet]

How do you change the speed from knt to mach in climb?

[@paulwblair]

It's automatic. As you climb, the kias for a mach number decreases. At a certain point, the target kias surpasses the target mach number, at which point the FMS will automatically switch to mach.
