  • In this video, I show you how you can use Button combinations, on your Series S/X controller, to complete a fully planned route, using Autopilot.
    The landing phase in this video is a little messy, but it shows my errors (for full transparency!)

    Yet again another brilliant and clear video, thank you so much. I am playing on a series S and despite constantly trying I cannot 'Add' way points on the route, hopefully they'll sort the bug out soon. Like you I agree that some bugs are acceptable given the awesome product they have given us 😁

      I had this occur and what I did to fix it was to click the X button to reset the flight plan, then press B to exit the world map and then return to the map and it lets me add waypoints. No idea what causes it though.

    I do enjoy watching your tutorials on MSFS2020. I followed your tutorial here and tried it out. I flew from Inverness to Southampton via Edinburgh, Blackpool tower and Salisbury cathedral in the Cessna 172. 3 hours 48 minutes flying time !! Google maps has it as 586 miles but I am not sure how accurate FS is because if my airspeed is 111kts (128mph) then 4 hours flying is going to be 512 miles. Amazing experience. I did notice it wasn't flying along the route planned, but took autopilot off and changed the heading, then autopilot back on again to get back on my line on the VFR map.

  • @Backoffboogaloo
    @Backoffboogaloo 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    The reason it doesn’t follow the line perfectly is because it’s treating your waypoints in the same way it treats VOR waypoints. If you watch the PFD, the magenta arrow looks just like it would as if it was following VOR and when it overflies the VOR, the magenta arrow flicks around and the plane heads off in that direction. It wasn’t off course when you took off, it was simply aiming for the first waypoint.
    Also for those having issues with getting Nav mode to work (I couldn’t get it to work reliably for ages), make sure that you have the magenta arrow. I didn’t have it at first and couldn’t work it out. The fix is that you press the CDI key along the bottom of the PFD until the magenta arrow appears. It’s the key to switch between the various modes of where the aircraft gets its navigation data from (VOR, GPS, etc).
    Edit: the glitch you have with some controls such as the altitude going off in the wrong direction to -9999 or whatever it did; this also happens with the heading, QNH and a few other controls. It’s a right pain in the arse. I use the Series S myself and I’ve bought a HOTAS and a keyboard and mouse which all work very nicely. If you use the mouse to change the altitude, heading etc, it works perfectly. It’s something to do with the controllers, not the sim itself. So if you have a mouse, use that for these controls, not the controller.

    • @AbberjamUK
      @AbberjamUK 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I find if u switch ALT ON before setting altitude. It defaults to a few hundred ft, then u can easily set it where u want and turn it back off till after ur airborne.

I only wanted MSFS and don’t need other functions of a PC as I use Mac for important stuff, so it was a no-brainer.

    I think the "Bug" in the course line on the map, is the course line isn't drawn properly. You added Emirates Stadium as a waypoint, and that's exactly what your plane did. The course line didn't go there. Same thing for Windsor Castle. That's a waypoint you added, but Course line doesn't go all the way to it, but your plane will.
    You'll also notice, that the plane flew the lines shown on your world map when you set it up, but the VFR Map in game didn't show the same lines.

      Hi, I just couldn’t get on with controlling the aircraft with the Xbox controller so I bought a HOTAS (throttle and stick- like a fancy joystick with a throttle control) and it has twist for rudder on it. It makes things so much easier to control, particularly the fine control you need to make the aircraft fly smoothly. Having said that, rudder when not used in a coordinated manner will throw your aircraft about a bit. I’d ditch the controller for everything but looking around and drone control, and use a HOTAS for most of the other stuff.

    I have the problem when I start a longer flight that my controller switches off in the autopilot after 10 minutes or the game lands in the pause menu. Thus, the flight does not go any further. Have already connected the controller with cable to the XBox. Nevertheless, the same problem. Does anyone have a solution? Mfg

Couldn’t figure out why max cruise speed says 195, but I couldn’t get it over 130 when cruising......only sped up in a nose dive 😂 Also in your videos it shows the adf/dme soft key on the garmin, mine only shows dme and the fms knob just says n/a when clicking on it.

      You may also have been having the same issue I was. Make sure there’s a magenta arrow in the PFD pointing upwards from bottom to top of the heading circle. If it’s not there, press the CDI button on the PFD a couple of times until it appears. Make sure you’re in Nav mode by clicking the Nav button to on, make sure heading mode is off so it’s not conflicting, and away you go. Just remember that it flies direct waypoint to waypoint so it won’t follow the line perfectly.
