Thanks for making this. As someone self studying for IFR it is cool to see the whole process laid out like that.

awesome video, great help, reckon this'll help me when i do my PPL!

The VL3 keeps turning right for me in the air, is that due to the prop turning direction? Other aircrafts dont!

Awesome video, as someone looking to start a flying carrier this video gives me confidence to go get my PPL. Obviously I'm not taking this as an IRL tutorial, but as some good techniques to practice in side the sim, as well as some things to expect when training.

Great job. You deserve a lot more views with your videos!!!!!!!

enjoyed this one! some real value for students here in this sim (IFR/VFR) Look fwd to some more - cheers from NZGS.

ok

This is probably a 912 (so 100 PS): it's astonishing how fast a light plane can be. We're in 2021 now and the VL3's prop controller displays "Manual" but it doesn't have any effect, really :-(

If you could help I would really appreciate it Ive asked everyone and no one has a answer

How do you fly at one specific altitude so you can just cruise or go afk for a minute

I will say as an irl pilot, you’d want that all the way up on takeoff regardless of if it was in the amber range or not since you would want as much power out of the aircraft as possible for takeoff.

At just before 11mins you talk about track vs heading how do you practice with wind and how to hold a "track"

Merry Christmas looking forward to more of your videos in 2021!

Nice Mod and nice job !!! Is it possible to have the speed in km/h and not in Knots as it is set up in real life and original model ?

Which airport is this?

Thanks for sharing your video! Fun fact the Rotax 912uls engine has a gear reduction so the RPM's are much higher compared to what the prop is actually spinning.

I love the quality of your running commentry

Another excellent couple of videos. Thanks, the detail you go into is excellent. I've given them (and others you've made) a mention on my Facebook group facebook.com/groups/fs2020resources

Great video crazy amount to think about, side note you you would think the MSFS team would have perfected this type of flying/training? for realistic practice

These are fabulous, takes me back 50 years to when I got my commercial licence at Palmerston Nth. Visited Fielding regularly with mywork.

The briefing was better than what sportys ifr course offered, well done

Best video!

Thank you Dave! Must have been amazing to have been flying here IRL! (lucky you :-) ) Now...for the next video: could you tell us some more about the height_planning, escpecially if you want to fly in between the mountains: how to read from map, what is safe altitude there and how to deal with high(er) passages (do you make a planning on when to climb at what rate to make sure you go over of is it all VFR or??) Thank you and see you in an other video!

Great detail in this video. Got me thinking, could you do a solo or PPL check ride flight for FS2020 as a training flight for simmers like myself wanting to really get flying confidently in there own sims, loving your videos,

Enjoyed this video, watched with my VR (did get a bit of motion sickness towards end haha) its great how you treat it like real life.

Awesome! thanks a million, I have flown along side your video, thanks for the learning, picked up some good tips on the video your explanation of tracking the 16 degrees and what that actually means has helped me in my sim flying.

Nice video. I like that you talk through what you're doing and why. 50+ minutes is too long for me to watch it all though.

Really enjoyed your video!, I fly the Timaru - Wellington return route in FS2020- would be great to see you do a video on that route.

Hi Dave, awesome video - can't wait to see your next one!

Thank you Dave for sorting this out! Seems to me that, at least in MSFS, it's more a handicap then of much use. May-be IRL it's different but in MFSF I will not use it now I've seen your video. Thanks again!

You deserve ALOT more subscribers😁 great detailed vid

Thanks for posting about the Vl3 and awesome explanation of the prop controller. Unfortuantely it is not working properly in MSF, hopefully, this will be fixed soon.We also offer a hydraulic adjustable prop which uses a lever instead of a digital controller. We currently offer the following engines 912,914, and the 915.

Another great video. But who puts a huge crane at the end of a runway lol?! FYI I have linked to your channel on my Facebook group facebook.com/groups/fs2020resources Hope it brings you some new subscribers. Cheers from the UK.

Hi Dave, thank you for this NZ flight_tour! Must be great if you know the area so well! About the flying: around 1m35 you say that the negative flaps can be used as speed brakes. Now...afaik..the information I can find it is quite the opposite.....: you apply the negative flaps to reduce drag and to go faster :-) ! From the aircraft operating instructions: 4.9. Cruise Normal cruise is performed with the flaps set at -6°. The airfoil offers the lowest drag in this setting and fuselage airflow is the most favorable. This is immediately apparent when the flaps are adjusted to this setting - the aircraft accelerates markedly. Somewhere else I read that when you access 132km/h / 73kts and you want to go faster from that speed on you apply negative flaps. There also seem to be 2 versions of this negative flaps position: standard is -6 and the Australian model with -12 degrees so speeds may be different for either type. Now...as a request for a future video: could you tell us something more about how airspaces affect VFR flying and how to handle them? And can (IFR) approach plates help you in VFR landing? Thanks!

Awesome video thank you

Thanks for this video. Beautiful country! I discovered Queenstown watching this awesome approach you probably already know ruclips.net/video/w0xMELV48Ec/видео.html I 've flown a Tecnam P96 for a couple of years and the first time I tried the VL-3 in FS2020 I was surprised how good it captured the microlight feel. The typical Rotax sound is also awesome. I've never flown a VL-3 but there's something about this model that feels "realistic". The numbers are probably not resembling real life exactly, but of all the planes in FS2020 I like this one the best. Will keep an eye on your channel in case you decide you post more VL-3 flights.

Very useful video, thank you! Maybe make sure the gain is up when you're recording as it was a bit on the quiet side in this video and the excellent one on trimming/leaning the engine. Look forward to seeing more great stuff :-)

Good video, thanks. I think you massively overshot max speed for flaps and gear on takeoff. Takeoff speed is much lower (38kts).

Thanks again Dave, nice review and explanation of the Propellor Controller. Get the VL-3 915 mod here: github.com/r9r-dev/fs2020-vl3-rotax915 Follow the project here: forums.flightsimulator.com/t/vl3-rotax-915-mod/239670/1

Thank you for this video: learning little bits every time with every video (didn't know the north / south rule in NZ (not Australia..I know :-) ) so interesting! , thanks! Now, what I would like to ask: you enter pattern altitude +1000AGL. When do you start descending and with what rate? I thought it was when the start of the airfield was at -45 degrees but in this video you say you are prettyy far away so how do you know when to start descending and with what rate and with what altitude do you want to be when you start your final leg, there you should go with a v/s of -500ft/min right, so how do you know you are not to far or to close? Must say...I am always not at the right height.....either to high so it's a kind of kamikaze landing or wayayayay to far..... And btw: every other instruction I have followed sais that you should turn on the beacon before starting the engine (so people can see your intentions by this light). You put this on at the start of the RWY.....is that also a different rule in NZ or is this common in the world? PS2: your steering of the plane is supersmooth: what are you using for the controls...joystick or yoke or?? (I use a Logitech Extreme pro and my steering is far more 'edgy'....both le/ri and up down... Thank you!

Thanks Dave, really appreciate you take the time and effort for a professional review of our work-in-progress VL-3 915. Glad you loved flying our bird! MSFS Forum for our VL-3 915 mod: forums.flightsimulator.com/t/vl3-rotax-915-mod/239670/293 GitHub Download: github.com/r9r-dev/fs2020-vl3-rotax915

Thank you for your explanation, the making of the video and sharing your knowledge! About this and the other video's: I really like it that you have the IRL knowledge and describe in detail how it works IRL, a great help in understanding flying_as_real_as_it_gets. (and after watching the video's I even (as non-native English speaker) I get used to the Australian accent :-) )! Thanks!

Thank you for this tutorial! As it is very easy in MSFS to "just_fly_around" without knowing anything it's good to see how things should be done IRL! Just flew this plane tonight after your video for the first time and didn't get a clue on that round knob in the middle for prop control... Do you know what it's for ? It has a LCD next to it with a kind of an arrow (display show 4675)...no clue at all... First one seen, now let's jump into the others!

Great vid, i helped with the anual service on this pitts for about 3 years, Ray would be proud!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GREAT TO SEE IT BACK IN ACTION!!!!!!!!!

Great video!

nice work Mr Monds!

Nice one...Like the different views too

looking good there dave... great piece of music to go with it.

Nicely handled V1 cut.

wat a stunning view. the lights over vages r so cool. great city and nice plane
