This was really helpful, thanks! I learned today how to use autopilot through GPS by setting a flight plan, but not how you showed and not how to use the radio stations. Thanks again!
Thank you for this tutorial. Note to other users, be very careful with the vertical speed when using AirBuses I have gone over 1500 f/min and I have stalled and flipped the plane almost everytime.
Again part 2 of my first comment: Example is proven for Boeing 737-800 and works for all models I've tested (with different speeds of course). If you want you also can preset your airspeed and activate autothrottle and speed hold after being off ground. Last but not least big thx for your tutorials, it helped me a lot understanding and using ILS approach from GPS mode.
@DNthenumber10: yes, you can use the autopilot for taking off. Try it like this: while grounded set autopilot off, choose altitude as needed for final climb e.g. 12000 and set ALT hold on. Adjust the rest as usual for a Example is proven for Boeing 737-800 and works for all models I've tested (with different speeds of course).

Very Nice Video Exellent! Very helpfull thanks dude! hey a question qhen you typed in KSEA in the GPS how did you write that did you type normally from the keyboard i cant do that plz help!
Tnx, I finally landed with your instructions! Just one question: I tried that on several airports but sometimes ILS guided me away from the runway - the plane was aligned with the runway but in oposite direction... Does it make a difference if you are coming from different directions toward the airport? Example: going from north to Venice, Tessera (LIPZ) - when I hear morse code and turn NAV on the plane starts turning away from the airport (but it is aligned with runway heading).
@DNthenumber10: yes, you can use the autopilot for taking off. Try it like this: while grounded set autopilot off, choose altitude as needed for final climb e.g. 12000 and set ALT hold on. Adjust the rest as usual for a start. Begin take off, full thrust, don't touch the elevator and keep watching airspeed. At 110 KIAS turn on autopilot master switch CMD. Sit down and wait ... at about 140 KIAS it will lift the nose automatically and between 160 and 170 KIAS you're airborne. Example is proven f
I am a pro pilot/ATC in real life (To you guys that didnt think itwas possible to be both ATC and a pilot in real life: Guess one more time) so this was not so very inteesting to me. But very good tutorial for beginners.
@ImAFlyingNoob you can find out the keys for all these functions by hitting the kneeboard chart button, which is shift+F10. Also, there's a help tutorial in the program itself. Thanks for the vid.
Hey, I dunno if this has been asked but can you mantain your aircraft turning around a VOR with the radio function of the autopilot like with the GPS mode? And that brings me to another question. So if you wouldve chosen the "north" line of the VOR, the plane wouldve pass that point and turn around to enter the proper line??
@tom1161 if the plane is moving under the mouse the tool tip won't show up if u move the mouse again the same press pause where everything is still if the tool tip doesn't show go check on ur settings
Well there's something you might not have noticed, but on higher altitudes, you must be carefull with the Vertical Speed. If you set it too high and you are on high altitude, your plane will stall! On higher altitudes, you must set your VS low.
thnk u for uploading this video, but my question is, why does my aircraft nose points upward by 10 degree at cruising altitude? it doesnt cruise at a stable position. Can u please help me on it...thnk u,
If i whould make a flight plan like from Klax to Ksea and whould have the gps active and as soon as i took off then turned on Nav hold whould it follow the line all the way to Seattle?
@narutojose2 Yup. It will take you off, but by then, you probably have "taxiing" for triple as long the runway is But, you vill not manage toget in air and staythere for more than a few seconds. And as DNthenumber10 said: Your trim will be messed up, and then its good night birdie, or in this case; good night planie.
hey i use a a340-200 and i dont know if i can leave it autopilot in an aprox and the AP calculates it selve the descend speed, i mean you lnow in the nav register it tells you which flight level to have in each point of the aprox and i ask if the airplane can go its selve and make it perfectly
Hey. I dont understand how do you know the Course of the airport. How do you know its north from you? (to put 180). Also, how do you approuch the runway in a straight line. This way will probably take you just to the airport... How do I do to line up with the runway?
This is weird, I've put a VOR of Anchorage 114.30 in the NAV1 radio switched it to the active then tried either 180 course or 360 then clicked on NAV, the plane isn't turning or doing anything.
he does anyone knows how i can adjust the autopilot that he flies also curves, i mean the plane should fly alone, without me as its pilot? i know it's possible but i don't know how i can do that, pls apply!!!
omg, i set Vertical speed to 1500f/min and climb from 4000f to 12000f and my autopilot started to put my plane under over bank angel and then it stalled, i lost 5000f within less than 30sec and crashed. any idea what i did wrong, btw my plane was bombardier crj-700
Hi! I have set my autopilot, but when I save the flight, and flying further again another day, the autopilot is suddenly off and I can't switch it on again.. Do you know how to fix this problem?
I'm not 100% sure, But, I guess you approach the run way on opposite side. example you should be approach on north and you approach on south. auto pilot heading is on? if yes that is the problem it overrides the approach auto switch on. again not 100% sure.
This was really helpful, thanks! I learned today how to use autopilot through GPS by setting a flight plan, but not how you showed and not how to use the radio stations. Thanks again!
You've taught me a lot in 15 minutes. Thanks for uploading these ILS tutorials!
I watched a couple of your MFSX videos and you've answered a LOT of questions for me regarding ILS flight. THANKS
Thank you for this tutorial.

Make sure to constantly keep your airspeed above stall speed...I have had this problem before and this solved it.
Very Nice Video Exellent! Very helpfull thanks dude! hey a question qhen you typed in KSEA in the GPS how did you write that did you type normally from the keyboard i cant do that plz help!
@ImAFlyingNoob hay... for takeoff on FSX 737 usually about 140-145 kt for landing also 140-145 depending on your weight and flap setting

When I saw you leave the heading hold switch on, I had an immediate want to do a face-palm.

Thanks dude! This video is making alot of this clear to me!
OMG.... great vid!!!!!! thank you!! finally I UNDERSTAND AUTOPILOT!!
thnk u for uploading this video, but my question is, why does my aircraft nose points upward by 10 degree at cruising altitude? it doesnt cruise at a stable position. Can u please help me on it...thnk u,
when you make a flight plan and stuff, how do you know to what the altitude or airspeed should be set too?
Thank you so freakin much!!! You're a fantastic tutor!
Question: what do I do with the course setting and number if I'm flying IFR / GPS to a destination? Do I just leave it sitting on 360?
@logicbam He clearly said in the beginning of the video he uses a Boeing 737-800.
Awesome tutorial
Ty man, Very good detail on the Course
So if you are using GPS you don't need to set the course, just the heading?
Thanks this helped my flying in fsx alot :D
what happens if u turn the autopilot on before you take off will it take off for you and land aswell?
@XxIgOtUxX099 Go to your display options under the "Aircraft" tab and change the 2D panel transparency.
DN.... did you use the auto rudder aor not...
and whitch one better
thanks for this video. very helpful!

I'm trying to use the nav function and it isn't working. I made sure everything was right but it doesn't work.
@MusicManAustralia Any altitude.
lil word of advice.. try not to make it so obvious that you're reading a script lolol gj on the video man this really helps
so, which one is easier, VOR or GPS
it is to be noted thought that fsx sucks in the ailerons and elevator movements; they are wayyyy too adverse and fast.
then what happens when the vor has been set in the nav1
This is weird, I've put a VOR of Anchorage 114.30 in the NAV1 radio switched it to the active then tried either 180 course or 360 then clicked on NAV, the plane isn't turning or doing anything.
That's because you have to select the correct course for the direction you're headed
what is the difrance betwean course and heading?
he
does anyone knows how i can adjust the autopilot that he flies also curves, i mean the plane should fly alone, without me as its pilot? i know it's possible but i don't know how i can do that, pls apply!!!
How much transparency is your cockpit at?
when i fly the plane...the plane will dive down although i already pitch up the plane
omg, i set Vertical speed to 1500f/min and climb from 4000f to 12000f and my autopilot started to put my plane under over bank angel and then it stalled, i lost 5000f within less than 30sec and crashed. any idea what i did wrong, btw my plane was bombardier crj-700
Awesome man!
Hi!
I have set my autopilot, but when I save the flight, and flying further again another day, the autopilot is suddenly off and I can't switch it on again.. Do you know how to fix this problem?
Great tutorial thanks
very good vid
very informative
whats the heading and course button for and where do you figure out what the number is? thanks if you reply
Is it necessary to use NAV?
can u explain once again the course to VOR,, i dont really get it clear
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
how do you know that you are at the north of the Seattle ?
I don't have this game now, I will get it on saturday, but I'm shearching for materials now ;)
i couldn't find the mouse on your video
I dont't understand what is the difreent beetwen course and heading.
i dont get the tool tips when i hover on the buttons. anyone know why?
how do you know where your heading
I'm not 100% sure, But, I guess you approach the run way on opposite side. example you should be approach on north and you approach on south.
auto pilot heading is on? if yes that is the problem it overrides the approach auto switch on.
again not 100% sure.
wait i see ppl having other creations on there plane how do i do that (virgin southwest airlins e.c.t.)
what kind of plane is this
why when i low the flap, i can't banking
when i am in a flight in fsx to decent i just kinda nose dive it can someone tell me how to decent like a real aircraft
Thanks alot for this tutorial!
Finally i know what the hell i´m suppose to do ;D
good video!
thanks!
hey man... i got a question.. its kinda stupid but in my boing 737-800 i cant find the map like u do.. i cant find those squares. help please?
what airplane is it?
my istrumens look blurry how can i fix that
How do you find your course
Oops, my second post should have started with "Example is proven...". Editing didn't work out too well...
thanks this really helpet
HAHA.. thanks alot thats what i was trying to find out..
good video!! i can use^_^
Your voice sounds like the actual aircraft pilots
May I ask what your plane? I tried 787 and it did not work. Thank you for your answer
He's using a boeing 737-800
hi, how did you type in the letters of the vor without a keyboard into the garmin gps?
You have to rotate your knob a bit then you could try typing
@1216saab It's the same, there isn't a difference.
You're probably in virtual cockpit mode. Pressing shift 3 brings up the gps map.
8:23 To your information: Thats not the inner, or...sort of. But I would say... ahh forget it.
nice vid
In real life, you could get clearance from ATC to go over 250kts under 10,000 if you needed to.
hey people i wanna know how to turn off ur engine thanx in any plane cheerz all good landings!!
y do u hav flaps set to 5 degrees at 8000 feet? LOL just kidden i no its just a totorial :P
sure
OMG TY
@Przemek0011 didnt help -,- i already tried that
VOR doesn't make sense.
god!
dont take vista take xp it is much better for fsx
diffecult
Tutorial: Press Z
just click "z"
my altimeter is fucked up :S
737
i can say you have never used a compass before lol
