VIDEO CODE: JFV-TNJ-000-015
I've been a real pilot for years and this is well done for a very quick how-to. It's edited and done the way we want, you just give us the information we want quickly with clear concise commentary. Well done.
Thank you so much! I'm glad the video works so well and it's great to hear from a pilot - thanks for watching :D
Ive seen a video of you flying before!
damn noice
Sir I was stuck for a long time and i was manually maneuvering the 737-800 and it wasn't pretty.
But this video...
It's an absolute lifesaver
Thank You!
7 yr old video that i just stumbled on. I have been playing FS9 since 2004 and i knew how to program the gps but i never knew the autopilot would follow it. I mainly fly VFR but i am getting ready to go flight school so i am trying to fly actual arrivals. Like the real world pilot said this is a 5* video. Straight to the point. No lame ass music or going off and talking about stuff that does not pertain to the video. I definitely have to go watch his other videos on the GPS. I know this is this is FSX but the GPS on FS9 and X are virtually identical.
Thanks a lot man, this helped me land for the first time! (It wasn't pretty)
No problem! Thanks for watching.
lol the first time i landed i wasnt using gps at all and i landed at a gas station that i thought was an airfield in a piper cub
It's better than a house 😂
@@JacksFSVideos lol
@@teedal7203 LOL
Haven't completed an entire flight in around 4 years, you have helped familiarize me with simulator. I used this tutorial in flight and landed ILS approach perfectly using my new mcp pro and saitek radios first time.
Glad the video was so useful to you and you were able to complete a landing first time! Thanks for watching :D
Thanks so much for this, I was able to fly a 737 from Gatwick to Heathrow and actually land a the plane rather than crashing. I might try to sort out autopilot and try longer flights
Dude you have been a life saver. As someone who doesnt get a ton of time but wants to have fun you've really helped.
Glad I could help you out! Thanks for watching :D
Although for some reason, when I activate my approach for final, or approach in general, the aircraft doesn't seem to bank to that path, it just keeps flying to the center of the airport. Am I missing something?
Try reading my written version of this on my website
So extremely grateful to you. Finally able to navigate for the first time in fsx lol. Thank you again
No problem! Happy I could help :D
Beautiful Jack. That clears up so many mysteries for me with regard to GPS for FSX. Thank you thank you oh and in case I forget THANK YOU!!!!!!!
Now I can at least find an airport and make the correct approach. Very helpful instruction and easy to understand. Thanks
Thank you so much for this extremely helpful and clear guide!
Can this method somehow be integrated into an IFR flight plan? I have landed, am now sitting at the gate, have just chosen the next destination via GPS as per the first half of your video, but now I want IFR to guide me there (altitude, heading, ATC centres, etc.), rather than relying manually on GPS. Is there is way to integrate this or is the Flight Planner function the only way (which then auto-loads the GPS anyway)? Thanks a lot!
Omggggg u are the best Man U make everything clear to understand new subscriber on its way
I'm really glad you liked the video and found it clear to understand. And thank you so much for subscribing!
how do you load up the planner?
The built-in planned? Just click Flight Planner in the main FSX interface
Bro you are the best without these videos I wouldn’t understand a thing! I’m now a qualified builder thanks to these fsx videos thanks from the bottom of my lip
Always glad I can help the building community
The GPS in FSX has so much more to offer than that though.
I have found how to use it, instead of the in-game chart, for finding VORs and NDBs and Airports in emergency situations because the GPS tells you info about the airports (like runway length) faster than you can click on it in the chart.
P.S. The GPS in a couple of the Glass Cockpit aircraft (I think the Mooney Bravo is one) has a much different GPS than the others/the one in this video.
Best instruction for Garmin 500 of all the ones I've been watching. Congratulations, Jack!
An honour! Thanks man :D
Why does my FSX look like a potato with everything set on ULTRA?
Cause this guy has a ton of mods
get addons on piratbay and it will look amaxing
set to fullscreen resolution with anistropic/anti aliasing high
it'll run

Thanks, now i dont have to use the flight planner to put in a vfr flight plan, your videos explain everything really well, thanks
So glad I was able to help you out! Thanks for watching :D
ok so ik ur a amazing utuber and i was looking at ur sub count expecting 1m or something and it is 9k and its like..WHAT?!?! BRO U DESERVE SO MANY SUBS + ur voice is really cool idk y i think that bit i wont ur voice
Thank you so much for your support! I really appreciate it and hope I can keep creating great content! And if I could, I would give you my voice xD (thanks!)
@@JacksFSVideos I'm gonna chime in really late to the party I know, forgive me, you have a unique voice, there's nothing wrong with it, you're easy to understand and you speak with a good tempo, love the vids brother, so useful! I come back to them everytime I reinstall fsx and forget what I'm doing, cheers man o7
Haha never really had so much said about my voice, but thanks xD
Great series of tutorials! You've made my life easier
Thanks for this video,I am going to try it right now
thanks I used it to set up a vector route from Joslin Field in Twin Falls City Idaho to Salt Lake International Airport
Great to hear the video helped you out! Thanks for watching and don't forget to subscribe!
thank you man, finally i know why my plane wouldn't follow the ILS
Bravo
Glad I could help!
well i have to say Jack this is really helpful i can land so easily
Glad I could help! Thanks for watching :))
I'm using FSX:SE but no runways show up when I try to set up an approach, even for a big airport like Brisbane International YBBN. What am I doing wrong, or is something missing or not set up?
Cheers Jack, I was looking for a good explanation of Garmin GPS, and I found it here. My only issue was the CRSR PUSH button on the GS 1000, as found onboard the Beech Baron 58; it is super fiddly to operate with my mouse cursor. I got there in the end after about 3hrs!!!!!! If anyone else has aggro with this switch it will work but it has a very fine point to click on with your cursor.
Just subscribed and a thumbs up.
Glad I could help and thanks so much for subscribing!
Pls make a video on flying missed approaches
Thanks for the suggestion! I might do when I'm back :)
really good and understandable video. Im sitting with my little notebook trying to remember everything so i can do it on my own. thank you:)
Thanks! Glad I could help you out :D
Hi Jack, thanks for the video. I went to London Heathrow on the GPS and nearest airport was still showing as London Heathrow.?? Any idea why this is? Thank you.
Well because if you're at LHR then LHR is the closest airport xD
Thanks for the video
Did you know: the "TERR" button changes the GPS map to an Elevation map. And You helped me very well Thanks so much I liked you video 👍 👏👐👏👐👏👐👏👐👏
Thanks for letting me know! And glad you found it useful and thanks for watching!
Thanks for the helpful tutorials!You explain them very clearly.I also read your website and what happended.Stay strong!
Thanks so much! Appreciate that :D
Is there a way to add multiple waypoints in a line WHILE your in the air?
Thanks for being so clear and to the point!! Finally!
Haha no problem!
I cannot type inside the GPS, when I type, commands will be sent to the simulator.
Also I can't seem to find a way to add intermediate waypoints (intersections, VORs)...
Just click onto the GPS, make sure the right field is selected and then start typing and you can use the FSX Flight Planner for the waypoints
Thanks for video...I'm a long way from ever owning a pc machine and either xplane11 or msf2020 so it's back to sim basics with FSX...SIGH
FSX is the best! Though I may be slightly bias 😂
i got FSX on my laptop and when i do long flights i always use concorde
nice, thanks. How would you delete a step in a flight plan?
Great explanation but my learjet seems to turn into runway fun to late any ideas?
with me (and again i use fs9 but the garmin is virtually the same on both) i notice the same thing so i start the turn a tad early and then let the airplane catch up.
Thnx mate it helped quite alot
I was also wondering, do you use it when you're flying an IFR flight, cause sometimes this clashes with the instructions that the ATC gives
Daniel Oyakhire no just do it when it tells you descend and maintain 2000 until activating localizer after this do what he did
ATC will also follow the GPS you have set up, just as long as you set it up correctly
I learn this: before starting the flight go to your flight plan and plan everything (where to land,where to start) then you don't have to do it on the gps because once you start you open the gps you can see your flight plan.
Bro can you show how to fly and land a beech craft king
DAMN!!! THIS WORKED OUT PRETTY WEL FOR ME THANKS MAN I APPRECIATE
No problem!
Can you please explain what the white path on the GPS is? What's the difference to the pink one?
The white path is what the aircraft is not currently following and is what is coming up for the aircraft to follow, once it's completed its current magenta line
Awesome!!! Thanks. This helps a lot after years of just winging it :)
No problem! Glad I could help :D
that was literally what i needed!
but the atc usually vectors me to the runway, when would i be able to do it like this?
How can I enter holding pattern through GPS?
No idea I'm afraid, never used it for that
@@JacksFSVideos Thanx for replying 🤩😊!!!
Easy to understand. Thanks!
Thanks for being there :)
Haha no problem!
I will download flight simulator to my computer again and will land perfectly too is this aswell for the real planes?
No these videos shouldn't be used for real world flying
I just press alt and then click on the far left dropdown, then I click on "plan flight"! It makes it much easier!
Yeah you can do that in the main interface before evening starting a flight, but then it's just less realistic
Jack's FSX Videos but it might be more like filing a flight plan
Well in real life, pilots will enter it on the FMC, or the GPS for smaller aircraft
Jack's FSX Videos but first they would file a flight plan using the internet or phone
Yes but that's all arranged before the flight and usually by the airline
Excellent tutorial...........thanks
Glad it was useful!
Ugh, Im so confused. So if you were at crusing altitude when you did this activating the approach would be an instant nightmare as the plane descends at a sickening rate while making an almost 90 degree turn to land on the runway properly.
If you weren't at crusing altitude/speed, how did you learn when to begin descent in flight and what speed you should be at when you activate the Approach Hold?
I'm so frustrated that I flew for an hour and a half under the impression that the approach hold/auto pilot would automatically line me up properly with the airport runway that I was landing on, instead all that happened was it flew me straight into the ground with the runway at a 45 degree angle difference from my direction. I don't understand what I did wrong... like 15 minutes out I checked the heading of the runway and the ILS frequency and loaded those numbers into my Course dial (in auto pilot box, the knob all the way to the left with orange cross lit up on it) and the Nav 1 frequency COM (and yes it was active).
Boeing 737-800, if anybody cares. I don't know why everyone makes Approach Hold sound like it automatically lines you up with the runway of whatever Airport you have selected in your flight plan and all you have to do is just manually set it down at the end. Because that is NOT what happens..
How you get this cockpit view? If I try to zoom out in the virtual c.v., I´m ending up inside the chair, or behind the pilot´s seat. 😂
I like your videos and I appreciate the work you put into them, but can you please go into more detail about how to do all this? I tried using autopilot, setting a flight plan from KIAH to KDFW and doing an ILS approach and landing on 13R, followed your videos step by step but my GPS/autopilot et al. acted completely differently from what you showed in your videos and I ended up over flying my runway at 3,000 ft at about 180 knots.
That sounds like an ILS issue, did you switch from GPS to NAV?
The one thing that threw me off, was that you didn't mention the code we put in is the Destination Airport code and not the current airport that you are at.
I guessed it in the end and all went well but was a little confusing right at that point.
Great video, I learn't a lot. Thank you!
Thanks for the feedback! I hope the video was still helpful :)
Is there a way I can use this type of GPS instrument on all my aircrafts on FS2021 Xbox Edition?
dude, thank you so much and i aprraciated it...the default Garmin system is always the best...because, i've tried the FMC system for PMDG's aircarfts and they were totally too difficult to accustemed to use it...i know FMC is better than this, but i prefer Garmin rather than FMC...i don't wanna struggle about lot's of things with FMC...
I'm glad it helped you out! Thanks for watching and don't forget to subscribe!
good explanation.. ty. where do I find the ATC codes you mentioned
You can look them up on Fly Away Simulation or just on each airport's Wiki page
@@JacksFSVideos didn't know the in game airports had wikis...
Nope, but the internet does xD
Thanks for the video. But I have a problem where I don't see the green runways on the gps, it says term on your gps but on mine it says end. I only can see a blue circle like thing around the airport. How do I see the runway?
Have you tried it at any airport that definitely has ILS for at least one runway? Try EGLL for example and then see if the green stripes are there :)
330 - adjust dead point on joystick.
I'm not sure what you mean - could you explain?
Do you (or do you intend to) have a video for executing a missed approach? Thanks.
I don't but I'll add it to the list of suggestions :)
So i should do a flight plan in the game and not before entering the game beacuse when i do it before i never can ILS land so imma try this one :)
Thanks for making a big part of my life easier!
Haha no problem!
Can i ask?
1. What is difference between vectors to final and activate approach
2.what is?/ How to use trans beside vectors
Do you mean Load to Final and Activate to Final? As loading is just getting ready and keeping it on standby whereas activating it actually engages the flight plan. And no idea on your second one - sorry!
Oh, thank you so much
No problem!
Hi, Love your videos. They really help me but I have struggles getting the right angle to land, I always get the GPS to the airport but then I land almost 50 degrees to the runway or next to the runway. Any help would be appreciated !!!!
Have you tried the written version of my tutorial on my website?
for me it is much easier and it is very easy thanks
Glad I could help :D
On the list of approaches, what's the difference between ILS and GPS.
ILS uses the guiding system to bring you down to the airport, you use that if you’re going to land using ILS. Otherwise use the GPS approach
Your videos are amazing man, but I have a little problem, I don't know the airport code wich I'll be taking-off it, so I can't program the GPS, also I have a question, what's the diffirence between this and the fms thing?
Thanks! You can look up the airport code online (like Fly Away Simulation or Wikipedia). The GPS isn't available on most commercial aircraft, the FMS is the main flight computer
@@JacksFSVideos I know but, I want alot to work with the fms, because like... You feel like a legend when you program the while flight with it, but I can't it's so difficult and people who make tutorials just order us to make this and this and does not explain "why is that for?" "How do you do that?" I mean you got the point.
I've never made a tutorial for the FMS, as I don't use it myself, but I might in the future :)
when are you going to upload?
Thank you so much
Everything that I have had to uses or learn I have gotten it from you thank you
It's really good to hear that my tutorials have helped you so much! Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy future videos.
Umm, don't you need to contact tower before you even attempt to create an approach?? They're not gonna appreciate an unexpected landing, they're the ones that determine which runway's free for you to land on!! lol
Yeah but then if you're using ATC, you would use an ILS landing for most airports, if not, then ATC will tell you the runway and then you can set up the GPS for landing
Thx wow it really works
everything is loaded correctly however when attempting to land using the ILS, when exactly do I switch from GPS to NAV to the APP button......as sometimes my plane will overfly the runway , even if at 3000 feet alt..........thanks
You can watch my ILS tutorial which will explain all of that :)
hey man what's the difference between activating the approach and activating vectors to final?
Activating the Approach is for when you've saved the approach earlier and you're now going to activate it. You would then need to Activate-Vectors-To-Final as well.
hi. is there a way to imput multiple waypoints from the gps?
There might be a way, but unfortunately, I only really know the basics of the GPS.
ok how when i set-up for approach but how automaticlly autopilot make approach because manually is so hard for me ?
Check out my video on How to Land
Anyone know if there is a way to manage the descent using GPS? I'm thinking more for runways without ILS where there is no glideslope to follow? Is there anything in the GPS that you can use to create a glideslope or do you kinda have to guess it using VS and making tweaks to match the PAPI's (which is how I'm bodging it at the moment) can GPS manage the climb/descent rate or is that outside of the scope of the FSX GPS?
Nice video. I wonder, how do you make a manually make a flight plan (with VORs and waypoints on your route) without using the FSX planner, but hardcore programming in the GPS itself?
Not sure for the GPS itself, after all, real-life commercial aircraft don't have a GPS. In real-life, pilots will use the FMC, otherwise you will have to use the FSX planner
Which airport did you took off from?
On a real GPS 500/530, it seems that we can enter a departure procedure or complementary waypoints. Unless it is not simulated in FSX, I did not find how to do it.
You can do that in the FSX Flight Planner
This tutorial is very helpful and well done! Good job 🖒

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it.
#question 03:00 this is who to sit up a flight plan thank you . But if i made a mistake and i want to delete it how ? and again to re adjust it how ? thank you very much
You just go over the same instructions again and renter another airport code :)
You make it so easy for beginners ur awesome thanksss!! --SUBBED
I’m glad I was able to help you out and thank you so much for subscribing!
Amazing vid well done keep the effort up this was very helpful
Thank you! I appreciate it :D
i started and saved about 8 flights from the free flight panel now i'd like to delete them but don't know how. can u help it'd be much appreciated as i can't seem to set a direct pt to pt flight now.
The easiest way is to go in to save another flight. Then double click in the file path bar along the top and copy it, open up Files Explorer and paste it into the same bar and you'll see all of your plans you can delete etc.
How to make the yoke move to and fro by using keyboard??
Use the arrow keys or Crtl+Y and use your mouse
Jack, I use FSX Steam Edition but I don't know how to open the navigation? Can you tell me? Also what is the difference between activate and load
It's the exact same as normal FSX, Shift+3 (but some aircraft can be different or not even have a GPS). I do explain the difference in the video, but Load is just getting it ready, but the aircraft wouldn't be able to follow it yet, nor would you be able to even see the line on the GPS, then all you would do is hit activate to see the line etc. as Activate is getting to that bit straight away :)
Thanks :)

Hi! Do you maybe know if I am able to make my custom fixes into .bgl file and then use them in the default GPS?
wow, the videos keep getting better and better! also, first again!
It's really good to hear you're liking the videos! Thanks for the support!
i have a quick question. when I choose vectors to land the gps gives me a really odd trajectory, it has lots of turns and often it doesn't line up at all.
do you know how I can maybe get a better approach without me circling around the airport 5 times?
The first vectors should simply be a straight line (unless you go past it). Have you tried it at different airports?
@@JacksFSVideos I have tried at multiple airports and very often its a straight line and then it lots of turns. so I shouldn't follow the complete trajectory? at 108 mile ranch (British Colombia) it just doesn't line me up at all. I also have another question whats the difference between those approaches? overall I just want to say that I have found your tutorials very helpful. thank you!
You just want to follow that initial line towards the runway, none of the other turns around it. Once you've landed, you can just ignore them. They're there for other approaches and/or for going around. Glad my videos have helped tho! Thanks for watching :)
@@JacksFSVideos thank you for the explanation!
Bro. I have the pmdg planes, but i dont wan to buy like the cessna planes and stuff like that. So I just use the default. I have a cold and dark mod for default planes. So I cant set up my flight in the fsx flight planner. so i need to use the gps. i didn't know how to use it. but thanks to you I do now! new sub!
I'm really glad the video has helped you! Thanks for watching and thank you for subscribing!
why I can't type anything in the field of id facility&city? is there any trick to make the keyboard usable in the GPS
module?
Make sure you've clicked the dial two types before trying to type anything
@@JacksFSVideos You mean it 2 times? thanks a lot. I'll give it a try.
Yeah 'times' sorry
Hello Jack. How do I go direct a waypoint and how do I use VNAV? Thanks.
Not sure how to do waypoints on the GPS, I usually just do them in the FSX interface
Do you know how to use VNAV?
No, sorry I don't ;/
How do you get the heading line from the gps to show up on the flight displays
The heading is displayed on the navigation display in the cockpit at the top
What's the key bind for the GPS?
Shift+3
I’m kind of confused since I’m new to aviation. Can you make waypoints with gps?By waypoints I mean custom waypoints or do I have to use the flight planner and do real life pilots have custom waypoints? Or they just use the thing that you explain in the video?
In real life, pilots use the FMC to create custom waypoints. For many FSX aircraft, the FMC doesn’t work. I’m not sure if you can create custom waypoints in the GPS, I’ve never tried it, but pilots wouldn’t use the GPS at all - only in light aircraft
Jack's FSX Videos Thank you so much! And i subbed
No problem and thank you so much!
Do You Need The ILS Button On ,
That’s only to do an ILS landing, you don’t need it for that GPS
