MSFS | PMDG DC-6 Landing in Innsbruck LOWI - Circling Approach Challenge - Difficult Landing
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ก.ย. 2024
- I've not flown the glorious @pmdgsimulationsofficial51 Douglas DC-6 for @MicrosoftFlightSimulator since Sim Update 5 got released, but recently I had the gauntlet thrown down by one of our Channel Member's... and I'm not one to shy away from a juicy challenge!
The request? An attempt at the Circle to Land in Innsbruck using the PMDG Douglas DC-6... live! Having not flown it in the simulator for well over one month (and I wasn't very good either!) I figured I would take it for a trial run, and during this very trial run - I decided to just hit the record button and talk you all through it, and show my first attempt, manually flying the entire route!
The livestream is coming on Friday 10th September 2021 too so be sure to tune in live and watch!

Touchdown: -126fpm and 1.19G according to Volanta!

It s a beautiful simulator but they need to fix those airplane instability especially around the lateral and longitudinal axes.
I bought MSFS the first day it was on the market and after 3 weeks I gave up as the plane are not flyable. The scenery are wonderful and it a shame I can t use it.
Have you tried since you stopped using it 3 weeks after launch? There is a lot of great mods and add-ons available now!
@@BritishAvgeek Following your posting, I decided to re- download FS 2020 and I have to say it s much much better. There is still work to do but most airplane are flyable and I won t go back to FSX. So I would like to thank you for your suggestion ! Cheers
@@raymondpalaz5355 fantastic! Biggest rule is to keep everything updated, windows, graphics drivers and all add-ons you have installed (including liveries)
Great job staying ahead of the dc6 on that approach. Just starting learning this aircraft myself. Usually, I don't have too much trouble, but with the dc6 I'm getting way behind on even simple approaches. I end up either too fast, too slow, too high, too low, and completely disoriented lol! My landings are a total embarrassment, but I'm really enjoying the challenge.
Congratulation, I've made a lot of approach but direclty on RNW 26 never as you did and with liner like zibo, so it was very easy compare to your landing,!
Beautiful! My only tiny suggestion would be that you could show a replay of your landing from a few different views (after or during the initial landing). Happy flying and Cheers!
I did try - the second I began replaying with flightrecorder I had the good old Crash to Desktop 🤣 I'll be doing it live this Friday so be sure to tune in!
@@BritishAvgeek that's a given ;)
Love the LOWI approaches. The scenery is amazing.
Always spectacular isn't it! If only I had time to appreciate the views this time around 😅
@@BritishAvgeek I’m 3/4 into the video. Great idea. 🖖🏻
Excellent but where were the external camera shots of that beautiful landing? You need to get your replay groove on my man.
I did try, someone else asked the same thing too 🤣 I got a screenshot with the replay and then when I rewound it to record it from an external view I got a CTD 🤣
@@BritishAvgeek ahhhh, ,, ha.. wow, imagine that , a CTD in a flight sim... maybe some day we will be CTD-less. And sorry, I meant "replay" not "reply" ... ugh. at least youtube still lets us edit posts. ;)
@@dabneyoffermein595 🤣 yep I knew what you meant - did you watch yesterday's stream when I did it live? I replayed it then and didn't get a CTD! :)
@@BritishAvgeek Whoop Whoop !!!!! I will watch it now !!!!
Great job on the video's. Have a question? I'm new to Vatsim but I'm a real world Commercial/Instrument pilot. Question is, If there is no Gnd, Twr, C/D on duty at your airport, but Center is on. Can you get your IFR clearance from Center like in real world?
Thankyou! And VATSIM works on a top down principal so you can then contact the centre controller covering over your airport to request clearance 👍
good fun when you actually do it...... practice.......
Thank you for taking the time to respond back, and thank you for the information. Have a great day and look forward to your future videos
You're absolutely welcome! 😃 Thanks for being part of the channel
the engine sounds do not seem all-too realistic (I know the real ones from outside and inside)
interesting, might be worth feeding your findings back to PMDG via their forum as they developed it from my understanding with DC6 pilots/engineers
I just cannot fathom how you always keep your cool, no matter which aircraft you are flying, nailed it again!
🤣 well, stress just adds to stress - plus if it goes wrong, it's a simulation thankfully. I was always been taught to keep a cool head, plan ahead of the aircraft and have a backup plan if it goes wrong... Theory being if I'm thinking far enough ahead, nothing is a surprise :)
Nearly had to change my pants lol, great stuff, thanks!
🤣🤣🤣 you and me both especially with that final steep turn!
👏 👏 👏
This very trip was in my mind! Don't worry about the flaps, your speed was 170 which is correct and you chose to add drag at the right time. You really want to make sure your speed will be managed well, and slowing down to approach speed earlier would have been best
My concern is the engines - I remember hearing that they like a consistent power on approach and with the terrain I was worried if I got too low and too slow I'd be in a tricky situation 🤣 thanks for the tips! I'll try it live tomorrow!
@@BritishAvgeek 90 bmep should be sufficient, as you're using flaps to control the speed. Either way, you flew like a pro!
@@Aleksandar6ix thanks! Far far from pro though 🤣 all the good bits were from the Artificial Flight Engineer and not me 🤣 I'll make note of 90bmep!
The DC6 does not like sudden movements. Most radil engine propliners dont because of the engine type. To be honest better than what I would have done.
Certainly doesn't - probably found myself a little fast on approach because I didn't want to change the engine output too much (and I couldn't remember how best to fly it 🤣) I'll do it again live tomorrow and see what happens with a full route
Just a note, flaps 20 is anything under 174 knots, the white band is flaps 30 and greater.
Nice short simple tip thanks! 🙂
Amazing skills 😀✅
thanks! :)
Do you know how to properly enter the winds from a Simbrief FP into the CRJ PERF INIT 2/3 page? If you load the FP straight into the FMS those 3 fields get populated properly.
It's in the big gumph of info in the actual generated simbrief flight plan - ISA Dev is usually at the top on the right hand side then wind is a few pages down
@@BritishAvgeek No idea which values are the ones I should use in the winds list though…
@@morid1n try to find the averages - I'll take a look over the next week or so if I get chance :)
@@BritishAvgeek I looked, couldn’t figure it out. Perhaps we should use another format, instead of LIDO.
@@morid1n the easyJet format is apparently quite nice to read - give that a go :)
