This tutorial is very helpful. Very easy to understand, especially for someone for whom English is not the native language. That happens to be the case. My flights in OBS mode are now all successful.
Strobe lights come ON entering the runway and to be turned OFF vacating the runway. What you were supposed to turn on with the beacon are the NAV lights. I know you’re not following procedures however you might find this info useful. Great vid, keep’em coming.
Your welcome thanks for the comment .. I'm going ro redo the g1000 series now that we have the nxi also these are older vids and a lot has changed with the channel format.. Anyway thanks again .
thanks jake ! the gps still has some bugs the distance is not showing once entering obs mode i tried it today on waypoints and that isnt working correct either so the holding video will have to wait lol thanks for watching
Hey great vids, keep em coming! I'm now using OBS mode a lot but have come across instances where the point the OBS line is centered is not on the runway, quite often in the middle of a field next to the runway. Is this just a mismatch with MSFS nav data? Also if there are 2 parallel runways how do you make the OBS centre off your desired runway? Thx!
Hey thanks for the comment I think it is a mismatch in msfs when you hit the obs button it will use the very next waypoint as the destination so to speak .and if there is a parallel runway unfortunately you can't do much about that the obs will get you close but then need to use our eyes for the rest of the way .
@@2020fsers Your reply also got me thinking, I often set waypoints to the airport/airfield rather than the runway which also could account for off centre OBS. I’ll be testing that out. 🙂
I will be redoing this entire series on the g1000 soon I just watched that video again and I laughed 😅 I can't believe I sounded like that so yeah all these older videos will get a revamp lol.
@@2020fsers hi thanks for the reply. The waypoint was arrival. I was heading straight to it. I dialled in the OBS the runway heading, adjusted the heading to intercept the the magenta line but was so far out. Try it EGNT to EGNC RW19
Ok also try a flight in the US and see if you still have the same issue some airports are funny in msfs and things don't line up correctly. If you have an ils you can also set that into nav 1 . Set the hsi to nav 1 and then use the obs with that as well instead of using a gps waypoint .
it also depends on where they place the waypoint in the gps . because when you select obs it uses the very next waypoint as the obs waypoint so for airports with say parallel runways this method will get you close. so if they place the waypoint for the airport off center of the airport then the obs wont be lined up correct it may be an asobo thing
Hey there so you can get the runway heading from the airport charts like skyvector or the runway heading also corresponds to the runway number . So runway 24 is heading 240 and runway 08 is heading 080 roughly. Hope this helps . I go over a lot of this in the vfr training series playlist
Why don’t the individuals doing tutorials tell us the beginning and end destination of the flight? You have to watch the video first to see if you can grab that info. Putting that information in the comments would be helpful. Thank you.
I can add that in the future and add origin and destination but where I go and where you go may be different I am only trying to show the functionality of the g1000 and what you can do with it and trying to keep the individual tutorials short. But thank you for the suggestion and I will add the info in the description from here out .
Make sure you download the latest update for the G 1000 in the marketplace.. also maybe you need a flight plan input not sure there is still some bugs with the g1000 . Thanks for watching and yay for the sub thanks again
I can if they are published but right now I tried yesterday on doing manual holding using the obs and that didn't work as it is supposed to . So if you would like one on the published holds I can I'll try it first to make sure that works properly lol 😆
@@2020fsers i dont know how it happened but i was flying to an airport and my flightpath had a holding pattern and then the next waypoint. i wonder how it happened. after holding on the pattern my GPS flew it to the next waypoint and towards the r/way.
Very informative vid; well done. Keep ‘em coming. But. Why do you find it necessary to precede almost every verb with the needless phrase “go ahead and”? It’s so annoying it makes me want to go ahead and puke. I suggest that next you’re tempted to say “go ahead and turn the landing lights on” or “go ahead and lower the gear” that you go ahead and not say it. It adds nothing to a sentence and it doesn’t make you sound smarter (more like the opposite). Just my $.02 from an admitted language snob. ahead and puke.
Thanks for the comment . I'm sorry that I annoy you by how I speak I will try to work on enlarging my verb vocabulary so I can sound smarter and not annoy you so much . Thanks for watching
A little more attention to detail would be nice for us noobs. I mean you don't even tell us what OBS stands for and what its purpose is. And yea I 'm sure we could go to other tutorials to find out those answers but what is the point of coming here if we have to do that.
Ok.so obs means omni bearing selector now that you know that what does that do for you not much so I would rather know how to use obs and how it can help me versus what the meaning or definition is these are simplified tutorials and not in depth lessons with history behind them . I think I am.showing the purpose of obs as that is the main purpose of the video to show how to use it in practical situation and there are other uses but I am showing 1 thing at a time and also the g1000nxi development is not there yet to use all the functions of the gps. thank you for the comment and thanks for watching . But I would advise that if you are wanting to use these tutorials in a real life application then you should watch real garmin g1000nxi vids that can use all functions and go in depth with lessons . This is just a sim channel to help people get the most out of the sim and have fun .
@@2020fsers Yea not wanting to to use this in real life app, just MSFS. Don't know where they hell you got that idea. I guess the point is that you need to explain more, like why you would want to use the OBS feature in the first place. You just demonstrated it's use and for some (like me) that isn't completely helpful as yes I now know how to kind of use it but I am missing the why I would want to use it. And yes I can see that it helps align to the runway but is that all? Seems kind of pointless if that is the only purpose of OBS
Like I said all the functions are not available yet to use . Why you want to use it .. well I demonstrated in the video 1 reason why you want to use it and how to use it in this situation not sure what else you are looking for. Maybe talk to the working title people and see if they will speed things up for you but I can only show what is available that's why I suggested real g1000 videos so you can see all the functions but it won't help you much if the g1000 in the sim cannot operate the same so for users of the sim I am demonstrating what the g1000 in the sim is capable of at the moment.

Great 👍 thanks for comment I will be doing a new g1000nxi series soon once I finish the longitude series
Thank you. Again I found something that I didn't know. This makes it a lot easyer for me to find the runway. Especialy in bushflights.
Yes I use it all the time for bush flights . Thanks for the comment 😁
Very good video. Very informative. Thank you.

@@2020fsers Tried two attempts a t the OBS an twice I was no where near lining up at the runway
Did you set the course on the obs after you select it ? Also was the next waypoint the arrival airport ?
@@2020fsers hi thanks for the reply. The waypoint was arrival. I was heading straight to it. I dialled in the OBS the runway heading, adjusted the heading to intercept the the magenta line but was so far out. Try it EGNT to EGNC RW19

What does a g stand for next to the airspeed tape I know the y is for rate of climb and the r is for rotation,and so on. But I never seen the g before
approach speed i believe and glide slope speed
@@2020fsers Hmm. Ok I thought maybe when you can extend gear lol... I tried to Google it but couldn't find anything on that
Can this be done in other planes? by the way Great video, I am now a subscriber
yes if it has the g1000nxi . i am putting together a tutorial in the sr22 how to do holding patterns but not with obs cuz there are still some bugs.
And thanks for the sub really appreciate it!
Hm, so I tried this at EDDC and ended somewhat misaligned with the main runway. It looked as if the coordinates of the runway are little off.
it also depends on where they place the waypoint in the gps . because when you select obs it uses the very next waypoint as the obs waypoint so for airports with say parallel runways this method will get you close. so if they place the waypoint for the airport off center of the airport then the obs wont be lined up correct it may be an asobo thing
Hey one thing I ran into on AirNav when using the OBS do you use the magnetic heading for the runway or true heading?
magnetic heading
@@2020fsers ok thanks that's what I figured but with the gps indicator I wasn't 100%sure. Thanks
Not sure if my adhd kicked in or what but where did you find the runway heading?

I think the day I posted this video
@@2020fsers right. nice video. thanks.
i had watched another vid done by another YT'er "Kip on the Ground" but this is 100% better. Subscribed!
hi, doing OBS after a while... when i select the OBS i get DTK instead of CRS. however the result is the same. has there been a change?
Possibly you would have to look at the changelog. You may also be able to change this in the g1000 settings page not sure but possible.
hey can you pls make a vid on entering and holding patterns?
