MSFS 2020 & X Plane 11 Add On(s) Aircraft and more. Advice and Lessons Learned.
Do you lnow of a video that covers primarily Xbox x, s. . I like the honeycomb but I don't think it works on xbox, but you didnt say, or I missed it. Thanks for posting.
16:26 Overall good presentation. However, I have to take issue with the idea that "all rescues have worked out pretty well for both". The US Dept. of Agriculture tested Spot extensively for use with remote firefighters and similar. They found that it worked pretty well with clear skies, good weather, and no trees overhead. But in adverse conditions, it failed more often than it succeeded. These are publicly-available documents and you can look them up. The power difference between these devices is NOT insubstantial. The first few generations of Spot transmitted with 0.4 watts of power. Later versions use 0.2. Garmin InReach has 1.6 watts, and PLBs transmit with 5.0 watts of power. Plus all three use different satellite networks. If you research those networks, I think you'll find Spot to be the least robust. But both Spot and Garmin use sats in LEO, which means those satellites can not see the entire US at one time. They come and go every 90-100 minutes, constantly "seeing" a particular patch of ground. When they come over your messenger and receive a distress signal, they then have to continue along their orbital path until they can "see" a ground station, where the signal is passed on. So there are two separate delays inherent in Spot/Garmin operation. PLBs do not have this limitation. They can access a 3-layer satellite network with sats in low earth orbit, medium earth orbit, and geosynchronous orbit. In the US, there are 2-3 NOAA satellites overhead at all times at 22,000 miles altitude that can "see" the entire country 24/7, and can receive/rebroadcast PLB distress signals at once. Essentially, 2-way satellite messengers are nice to have, and can serve as distress beacons in a pinch. If I were choosing one today, I'd recommend Garmin as superior to Spot. But in a true emergency where beacon reliability could mean life or death, PLBs are definitely the best choice.
Vkb nxt has to be the best value flight stick for your money
It really is a lot of flight stick for the price!
Anyone has thought to turtle beach velocity one?
I do have a review for that stick. It all comes down to your use and price limitations.
Nice and informative and very chill video. Good work and keep going 👍
Thank you!
Came here looking for flight rudder controls but....... It's 2024 so how about "If it's not Boeing it's flying safely the full length from A to B".
They will get you there safely!
Hey there, sorry for asking the endless question: "what to buy in my situation", but i am really lost, and i have a bad habbit of buying wrong and need to buy again. First of, i am 47 from Denmark, i had 5 Brain surgeries that did alot of bad stuff to me.. i lost hearing on left ear, cant use left eye and all my left side feels a bit off, and something happend to my sleep center so i never feel rested, i am tired 24/7.. Only reason i say this, is because i like to try microsoft flight simulator 2020/2024 but i like to play the game with alot of help. i was told that you can play microsoft flight simulator in more modes or something, i understand this as there are a very realistic sim mode, and more or less an Arcade mode, where you get some help with things like landing and that. If this is the case, i was hoping i could play using only a flight stick, and no other things, and if so, what would be a good one for a "flightstick only" setup ? i dont mind paying for more if that is needed or a huge upgrade, but i would like to pay less then 300 euro's if possible. I used to play some flying sims back in the days where the Graphic were so bad that only take off and landing was fun, but i was thinking it would be amazing to fly around in games today where things look so much more real.. I got an i5 12600k and a 4070ti and tons of nvme ssd's, i guess that is ok for 1080p gaming, i just need the damn flight stick :D Any help would be amazing, i read you dont need the "padels" if you get a stick that can twist, so i guess that is something it need to have. else i have no clue.. :S - Michael PS. I would like to be able to fly all types of "machines" in the game, but since i never played the game, i dont know what i would like the most.
I am very sorry to hear of all of your surgeries. I do have a suggestion though. I would recommend that you start with the Logitech Extreme 3D Pro joystick. It is simple and inexpensive. You should be able to judge how much you enjoy MSFS with that joystick. If you find that you truly enjoy MSFS and you wish to upgrade, there are other joysticks to utilize. I give you this recommendation first so you can see if you will enjoy the sim. I hope this helps.
@@JoeNDBAVIATION Thank you very much. I can for sure use that answer, was hoping you would write this as i watched a few more videos here on youtube, and more people say its a good deal for the money, and even i am not rich at all, i see this product as almost free, so a good way to test if its even something for me! For this price i dont mind buying a second time later, should i "need" it. :) If you give it the go ahead, it must be ok, i was just really unsure because of its price. Thx again, have a nice day!
@@muttleydk You are welcome! Have a great day as well and happy simming!
Great review. You mentioned there are other sticks you think would be better at a similar price point. Could you name some of them? Id be interested to look into them. Thanks!
Before I give a response, are you simming on a PC or XBOX?
@@JoeNDBAVIATION PC for me. I've done a bit of research and the gladiator NXT looks like it might be right for me. What are your thoughts?
@@Aussiewalrus That is what my next video series will cover. I have one that I have spent some serious time with and am finishing up my "First Impressions" video of. A full review should be ready in about another two months. Early impressions are positive! One thing I have noticed with a lot of the new flights sticks is the overall size. Some are shorter than others, so take a look at the dimensions if you have large hands.
@@JoeNDBAVIATION great thanks
What about the helicopter guys
I’m not Helo rated and I also have not had a chance to get the parts.
for a full fighter setup i recomend the brands winwing, virpil and VKB and pick the aircraft your going to fly
what do you mean with GA?
GA = General Aviation such as Piper and Cessna like aircraft.
To much of the hard sell for me in this video i was hoping for more of a realistic opinion but sadly this is a promotional video.
Thank you for your input. The review is far from promotional. There are so few options in this price point that offer the same amount of realism and Xbox functionality.
“If it ain’t Boeing I ain’t going”. I know you said something about trade marks.
I try to stay away but sometimes it’s too easy.
Great video and super helpful. I will be doing some research on these as wana get into flight sims in a few months time! Thanks man!
What’s the best one for flight training? What joystick? I just want to learn to fly ultralights and soaring gliders
Sorry for not asking this sooner. Do you have a specific budget?
Is the Thrustmaster Boeing thrust pack any good?
I haven’t tried it but I’m sure it is at least average by what I have read.
Awesome story! I recently bought the PLB400 and hope i never need it. About a year ago i was on vacation in Tennessee hiking in the smokey mountains. I ended up slipping and falling off a 30 foot cliff and broke my left leg. Luckily my iphone 14 has sos via satellite so i was able to use that and got help but it was kind of not the best thing to use. When i used it i had to answer a few multiple choice questions that popped up such as who needs help? You or someone else, then the type of emergency such as sickness, traumatic injury, vehicle issues, ect. Then it asked me if i wanted it to notify my emergency contacts, then it told me to point my phone towards the satellite and it had a little thing showing me what direction to point. I had to hand it to someone else who was luckily there with me so they could point the phone at the satellite and send a message explaining the situation and wait for it to send as i was unable to move very much. The messages were sent to the apple relay center who then eventually contacted a 911 center who then dispatched us park police, the forest service, and a rescue team. There was a second time i had to use the satellite sos for someone else after i cane upon an over turned vehicle in the mountains with no cell signal and the driver was ejected from the car with traumatic head injuries. This time i was messaging a local 911 center directly via satellite but the dispatcher was sending the same question ls multiple times as there is a delay sending and receiving messages and im guessing they didnt know that at the time. i assume depending on the location and the local 911 center's technology you might get the apple relay center or you might get a direct link to a 911 center. Either way both times i was able to call for help and help came but both times i feel like there were some unnecessary delays. I feel like the delay with the questions and talking to the apple relay center and having to point it directionally to a satellite and them contacting a local 911 center as a third party on my behalf was an unnecessary delay. It did work out even under heavy tree canopy cover however i purchased a PLB after these events as it would probably work a little quicker, easier, and more reliably.
You have had some adventures already! I hope you never need to use that new PLB. I still carry mine with me on road trips and adventures. I am at the point where I need to replace the battery. Safe travels!!
Thanks so much for your video. I'm a rusty pilot who became Rip Van Winkle during the simulation growth era. From you comments, it seems like X-12 is the software I need to shake off the rust both VFR and IFR. What peripheral equipment did you use? There are so many options from inexpensive to very expensive. Can you refer me to any video that discusses setup options for yoke, throttle, rudders, widescreen monitors, etc.? I assume from watching your video that the two display panels are controlled by mouse clicks.
hey I know I'm a bit late but the forum says it's only for xplane 11 and 12 so can I still use it on xplane 10 ? thanks you.
I can't remember for sure, but I think it was originally made for X-Plane 10.... maybe 9. The old files might still be available on the x-palne.org site.
Thanks for your video. No need to apologize for "long" because we learn some good stuff. I would rather have clarity than brevity. So continue your videos and make them as long as you think necessary to teach what you wish to teach. Thanks. I would like to see some more specifics about x-plane 12 setup (specific processes) to do the nice things that I heard about x-plane 12. Thanks I don't use MS sim but a specific comparative video would be great as I heard some good reports about the new version. For real pilot training, it seems that x-plane 12 is a far better solution. Again, Thank you!
Thank you for the kind words! New videos are in the works, but awaiting a few updates before posting.
great video for a mac system. just curious how do you set a new camera angle/view on the laptop keyboard since theres no numpad? thanx in advance
You can set the bindings for the keyboard as needed or leave them default. I was also using the Logitech Extreme 3d Pro. With that attached via an adapter, you can easily change views.
And you sir you are a Pilot is does bot feel the same Been on real multi engine simmers and is totally different . This feels worst than CH products of the early 2000s
I bought the whole set up from Honeycomb Overpriced trash . I can get better performance out of a single Cheap Joystick Stay away . Their support is non existent selling all this trash and buying something that works
Thank you for answering. I finally stumbled on the answer and put it in the folder. Is there anywhere that explains the procedure and perhaps how to address install issues. The X-plane helpers keep chuckling saying just push the download button. It seems easy, but only to the experienced. Again, thanks for your return.
What did you purchase? All the third party add-ons have a support thread on their website or even on x-plane.org
Great video, good for starters. Question for you though: if you were to choose between Boeing or Airbus setups, which one would you choose with the Microsoft flight simulator?
What are you flying most in the sim?
Can you help? I feel a little lost. I cannot see/use my downloaded aircraft in X-plane12. During the download process, I am NOT asked to insert the product serial number. What am i doing wrong? I am new to X-plane.
Did you install them into the X-Plane folder on your PC or Mac? Which add-ons did you purchase?
Hopefully I never have to use mine 🙏 God bless you
I hope you never need to as well!
Glad you did a video on this. P-Factor is my biggest complaint about the realism in FS2020. I use XPlane 11 and find it to be so much more realistic. It really bugs me when I go to takeoff and don't have to use the rudders at all it seems in FS (yes, I have auto rudder turned off). I wish FS was better, because by all other accounts it's a better sim in terms of graphics, anyway. But I feel if I'm going to be practicing maneuvers, Xplane is where it's at. How MS got it so wrong, I just don't know.
The fighter jet controllers on your wish list what are the name of that product
One thing I had a question about is why Honeycomb puts the ignition switch on the right side of the enclosure when the Cessnas that I’ve flown the ignition is on the left. I would say in the name of realism that it would benefit the student to have it on the left side. My instructor taught me to run the throttle full power leaving my hand on the throttle. My left hand is on the key switching from left-both-right-both then pull throttle to idle.
It is a balance of all the general aviation aircraft. There is no one side that will be perfect for all owners, renters, students, and operators. What model Skyhawk are you flying that you start it with full throttle? That is not a method I ever taught nor required for any C172. Other aircraft, there were a few.
I’ve flown the 150, 152, 172 and 182. I guess I didn’t explain clearly. I was taught to taxi to the run up area, apply brakes and push the throttle to full leaving my right hand on the throttle in case of an emergency where I need to immediately return to idle. At full throttle and left hand on the key I do the mag check and then pull back to idle.
@@douglashornick4388 Understood. I might be a bit fuzzy, but i thought all the sub 200 hp Cessnas had a suggested power setting of 1700/1800 rpm for the mag check? Maybe double check the POH.
I may be also. It’s been quite some time since I’ve flown with my instructor. I just fly my flight sim these days.
If I get the Boeing Throttle and Yoke, does it come with all of the bolts and screws it needs? 😅
At least no doors should be lost in the operation of.
Would like to see how to set up the rudder response curves in xplane 12 to allow better control of yaw.
I can work on that. Are the inputs too high or low for your personal taste?
Great video, but honestly how useful, I don't know. As I've had 2 different computers running both xplane and MSFS, with ch pedals, and thrustmaster peddles. It was different with mix and match components. Both Sims I had to play with the controller sensitivity
Controller sensitivity is a must to bring the sim into your personal realm of "flight feel". I can only imagine the differences between two computers as well.
@@JoeNDBAVIATION nothing can make it feel real. Even a cessna and piper "feel" sooooo different.
@@casstephens3124 That they do. I have yet to fly a sim that is aimed at the light general aviation market that has felt true to life, and that includes all of the AATDs and BATDs I have trained on and instructed with.
Hello form Texas, I am new to Flight Sim.. I am also a new ppl. 160hr. I am going for my ifr and commercial right now, goals soon to CFI and CFII. I have downloaded X PLane 12 to help me with procedures. Is there a way to get the embedded 530/430 to have more real world functionality? It lacks a lot from what is in the aircraft I fly for training? Thanks in advance for any help. Great video, subscribed and following.
To be honest it has been a while since I have utilized the 530/430 combo in X-Plane. I know they are “simulated” but what features are they missing vs what you are doing in the real aircraft?
I guess what I am getting at, is it is not a direct simulation of the standard 430. You cannot change data fields, some of the procedures are missing, etc. As compared to what is in my training plane. I am shooting for using this as a classroom for my trainer. And possibly once a CFI using it to train students and save them some valuable seat time. Are there plugins that can advance it? Or would I have to invest in a stand alone unit? @@JoeNDBAVIATION
Your reviews are always very reasonable and contain reliable information. The spring-loaded start looks cool. However, Since I don't have an Xbox and have no plan to get one, it's just bells and whistles for paying $100 more expensive. So, aside from the spring-loaded switch and the number which is 400% more accurate resolution, were you able to feel 4 times better performance on this new product? Because specification numbers often don't connect directly to how you actually feel. If you could feel a significant difference, I'm going to have to increase my budget and wait for restocking. Thank you for the great review video and I'm looking forward to getting your answer!
What's the poster on the left tho ?
The Logitech X-56
How come I can’t find the honeycomb Charlie rudder pedals anywhere? Do u have any recommendations?
The Charlie rudder pedals seem to be delayed again due to some issues at Honeycomb. I am working on a new list for products that are out and readily available. Do you have a price range?
Any thoughts on Redbird sim controls for GA training practice? Pricey, but worth it or overkill?
I’ve never been a huge fan of their controls, but they are relatively solid pieces. If I were in that price range I would look at PFC and other companies similar.
Anyone running xp12 on a Mac?
I have and have a video about it.
Any idea on a complete sim set up and app/computer requirements to have a pilot and co pilot at the same time to educate kids?
for fighters, you also got winwing , virpil and VKB.
hello sir what are youre toughts on the logitech X52 pro?
Great summary.
"INVESTMENT" ha ha ha ...have my like kind sir :)
Thank you!
Very bad!!! So many words and so little sense.
Thank you for the input. What can I change?
No love for MFG Crosswind V3 pedals?
I have to disagree on your fighter setup recommendation, the Warthog is highly outdated. It costs almost 500 Bucks and the Gimbal is made out of plastic. The best HOTAS in my eyes is either a full Virpil or WinWing Kit, VKB is also a great choice.
I appreciate the suggestions! I am working to get products from those companies, that way I can include them in an updated video.
I would like to ask for some help. I just got the Yoke for Christmas and it's been great until today 12/26. My aileron axis went out. I powered it down, powered it back up, changed profiles, uninstalled the drivers, reinstalled the drivers, went to game control as suggested by Honeycomb, recalibrated it and no change. Do you have any suggestions?
Sorry to hear you’re having a problem. You went to game controllers within windows itself? Are there any other axis or buttons that are not registering? Have you tried a different usb cable and also a different USB port on your PC? Are you using a USB hub, if so, powered or non powered?
I’m confused, fselite article on this states, “..this new yoke is still fundamentally the Alpha which you’re used to, but it will come with better Hall effect sensors up to 16096 resolution. It’s a lot more advanced than the original Alpha.” So is that true or is it like you said, just a rebranded alpha XPC with identical specs and xbox buttons?
