When I do everything my plane won't follow the waypoints or the flight plan when I take off and fly

I can't move when I go full throttle and release the park brake

Hi Sir, I would like to know if you tried the latest version and what do y think overall ??

how to set A/T hold?

Fantastic!! Are you real life Gulfstream pilot?

Hello! For some reason I get a "Takeoff Configuration" warning on takeoff. Any idea as to why this happens?

what are you PC specs? and where did you buy it?

Hey guys I hope you can help me. I can't get the damn thing to pressurize. All engine bleeds are on, isolation is off. I have 38 shown on my engine bleed. If I turn on the APU mid flight and the APU bleed it'll decrease a little bit but then sky rocket back up. I'm thinking it's a weird glitch...

warum immer so rumfuchteln im Panel? Das geht doch bestimmt langsamer und verständlicher.

I can't get my flight controls to move, where is the gust lock, apparently I have to remove that?

Why do the LOC and GS indications on the FMA disappear when you disconnect the autopilot? Should LOC/GS not be kept in even when flying manually, so that the flight directors can actually display something meaningful?

Hello, you know how to disengage Autothrottle.....what is the botton?

Hi, where is de Autotrottle engage and disengage ?

Hi, nice video. Have you tried using FLCH during climb? Our FMS is setup that it has a V-target of V2+10 until 1500ft, passing 1500ft transitions to 165KIAS and then at 3000ft to 250KIAS. So, we engage FLCH and AP passing 1500ft, and then choose Manual Speed between 180KIAS-210KIAS depending on our weight. Once we are clear of constraints or received all possible initial directs after departure, we accelerate to 250KIAS until FL100 and then usually revert back to Autospeed. From there on, our FMS is scheduled with CLB speeds of 270KIAS/M0.75. During the whole phase we usually keep FLCH, as it provides us with max climb performance unlike VNAV. I tested V1 before, but wasn’t really convinced by the power profile and the MCP. Would be nice to get a feedback from you as you seem to fly it regularely in xplane. Thanks!

I have a problem where yoke is frozen and dont work and the same with throttle, the only thing working is the rudder

am I the only one having issues with the speed when I engage autopilot since the new update ?

Great video! 🔥🔥🔥Where can I find the G550 for the sim? Been looking for for the longest time. Cheers

Does this plane not have a takeoff performance calculation involved?

Runway was 30R

Very nice video Fin, your the reason I'm flying the G550 in X-plane thanks to your tutorials. Also, could I get the link to that livery?

How do you get the MFD waypoints and magenta line to be much more legible and not super small

Thank you for this lesson. Always as informative as it is concise. A few more flights with you and I'll be feeling right at home in this superb aircraft.

I love this airplane !! I have experienced some problem ... especially in the FMS that sometimes make the SIM stuck for few second.. hope the Developper can solve this issue. Also .. the texture need to be better.. I feel everytime I use this addon to be back 10 years ago ...

I downloaded the new 2.09 and I tryed it for XP11: the FMC anytime you change a point ( like direct to a fix ) got stuck for at least 2/ 3 second ... MY GOD !! I do not know if this issue does not happen while using XP12 instead..

Hello Finley, I've watched your videos on startup and FMS configuration. In flight, the GL550 continues to mess up and I don't know if it's me or the plane. I know that's vague, but my purpose is, to ask you to do a takeoff to landing tutorial. Thanks

Hey do you happen to know why I cant access the Take off Page? Im currently unable and its showing VNAV Unavailable. Id appreciate your help sir.

How about G500/600 ? It would be cool if you did some work on those models…

Hi !!! is possible to have a review or a complete flight with the new 2.08 updated ??

I have been trying to use the 'DIRECT" on FMC , do you press DIRECT first then way point or waypoint first then DIRECT button ? I tried both and plane wont intercept even with LNAV activated... Thanks

Why is the auto throttle touch pad on a panel screw..? Are there other hidden touch pad areas..? A big thanks for your videos..! I have my answer, just need to find spots on the throttles.

DIdn't you have to perform a fire test before firing the APU?

Great video! When starting engines there’s no need to turn off any packs unless the APU air is less than 40 psi. When turning the start master on, it turns off the right pack automatically and when starting an engine, the other pack turns off. Saves you some time. Also, the engine bleeds on the G550 (while engines are off and on) can always stay on, unlike the GV and older models.

Is there anyway to install this addon in MFS2020?

Hey do you ever have problems with the autopilot in this? A lot of the time when I start from cold and dark lvl change/vnav/selected speed won't work at all. When I start with the engines already started in XP I don't have this issue though, was wondering if anyone else had the same in the G550

It’s nice what you are doing, however, you are doing a lot of extra things that is automated. And yes, I fly the real 550. You arm the emergency power first to make sure it works. Once you turn the batteries on, you turn the emergency power back to off. (After apu start, you arm them and leave them armed) APU start requires the left main fuel pump. You can do the right, but you would have to open the cross flow. So nobody does this. APU generator is always selected on. We never touch that button. So as soon as the Apu is at 100%, the generator comes automatically online. After that, you turn on the Apu bleed air. (After 90 seconds) For engine start, you turn on the two main fuel pumps. Not all 4. Then you press the start button, this will take care of the isolation valve and the packs. So no, you don’t do any of those manually. It’s all automatic. You ALWAYS start the right engine first. This is the only time you can see that the PTU works for your hydraulics. After both engines are up and running, start master off first. This will again set the packs and isolation valve back to where it’s supposed to be. At this point you turn on the two remaining fuel pumps and you stop the APU. You do not deselect the APU generator. Only thing you deselect is the APU bleed air. Bleed air will automatically go to engines. You are also allowed to take off with APU running for bleed air, to improve runway performance. At 1500 feet AGL, the bleeds will automatically switch to the engines, at which point you shut down the APU. Why did I write all this? Because the 550 is a lot more automated than was shown in your video. Still loved the video though. Nice job.

Pretty cool video. But as pilot with 4000 hrs on the 550, a lot of the things are done incorrectly.

Thanks for your new tutorial with Mouse cursor. 😊 It is very helpful for my understanding cold and dark start of GLF550.

Way to go Fin, crystal clear instructions. Starting is easy for me, but there seems to be many who have problems getting it to go. I have this memorized but still have a checklist popped up. I did learn about one thing from this: the warn inhibit. I have switches on my yoke to clear the warning and caution. I can reclaim them and use the inhibit now.

Thank you, nicely done..!

Thank you for your tutorial video. Could you mind ask one more startup tutorial again for GLF550 v2.07 with MOUSE CURSOR? 😅

How do i activate the vnav profile in the lower middle map (don´t know the actual name)?

Very helpful, however, from a Real World Perspective, you may wish to include "check brakes are on" and have the stick back before starting

how did u get the simbrief performances? i cant find the g550 on the simbrief aircrafts

Where did you find the add-on liverie. I've looked on xplane forums, but no luck.

Im having an issue with this aircraft . The PFD speed tape and altimeter isnt moving,and also I cant click the TOGA button on my throttles.

I am having an issue where the irs would never align even though it is set to instant on the tablet. Any help?

is the cabin of this aircraft complete?

For me the APU never says ready but idk
