Pilot Wanna Be
США
Добавлен 5 авг 2024
Xbox MSFS sim pilot here. I'm not a real pilot but I play one on RUclips. Join me for some tips, tutorial style info and hopefully a bit of fun.
After years of flying exclusively on the Xbox Series X, I've learned a thing or two and I'm ready to share what I know. If you're flying on the Xbox also, we can commiserate over things like, waiting six to eight months longer than everyone else for add-on planes, only having access to what, less than ten peripherals, no access at all to free add-ons and finally, getting the stink eye from PC sim pilots.
But hey, at least our load times are shorter.
If you happen to be on a PC don't sweat it, you can come along for the ride also. The planes "usually" work the same regardless of platform. The more the merrier.
Please, come join me in the virtual skies.

Flying the Britten Norman Islander by Black Box Simulation from Morocco to the Canary Islands in an attempt to go from 492 different airports landed at to 500. In a bit of role play, I'll be dropping off a passenger at each stop though you can't see them.

Lower 48 Capitals Tour Leg 10, Providence, RI. to Hartford, CT in the 182 RG. Jumping Back in FS 2020 for this because I'm tired of the bugs in 2024. Also, we'll go over some stats from my time in 2020 and I'll prattle on a bit about my biggest gripe in the new sim.

We're "attempting" to re-enact a real event in this one. Back in 1992 a brave man flew a Cessna 310 from the Florida Keys to Cuba to rescue his wife and children. I can't say that this went perfectly for me. In fact, the part that I thought would kill me didn't, and a part I wasn't really worried about did. Oh well. It was a ride.

Lower 48 Capitals Leg 2 Part 2- Xbox MSFS 2020
Didn't get a chance to put chapters in this one. My apologies. I did look up the circumference of the Earth though. Almost 25k miles so I could've flown around the world almost 3.5 times in FS 2020 if I'd gone in a straight line.
That was a good recovery right after hitting the tower
Thanks but I assure you that skill was not a factor. 😊
I wonder if Microsoft sees this video they can tell you why the battery switch won't slave to a button.
@@chasemccoy4402 I'm guessing it's more to do with the developer, Flysimware. I think the Learjet from them is the same way.
Too funny but bot recommended for real life! Operate machinery properly & carefully! 😅
@@susanpeltier3333 Agreed
With air cooled engines you will get better cooling at low altitude and higher RH because of the density of the air. You also get good cooling over the fins from the high airspeed which also helps cool the engine. As someone who's toasted a jug or two flying old crop dusters, if you just kept the nose high and kept climbing at WOT with a high nose you hold on to alot more heat, and slamming the throttle shut and descending rapidly can shock cool the cylinders. AFAIK shock cooling is not modeled in the 310 or JF arrow, but cooling air intake occlusion, and atmospheric effects are modeled. Tl;dr at sea level with good airspeed you realistically can run most aviation engines WOT for hours and hours and hours before they fail. I fly towplanes and they spend probably 60% of their working hours climbing at WOT then chopping and dropping and we can get engines to 2 or 3000h past TBO while still passing inspections and scopes.
That all makes sense. I'm definitely going to make a round two video but it'll probably be after MSFS 2024 is out. Thanks so much for the info and comment!
The duke is known for breaking the bank when it comes to maintenance anyways. You probably don’t want it. Beautiful bird nonetheless
@@bowzist I have heard that. Too bad the real ones probably break easier than the virtual ones.
I know I don't have many subscribers and I don't get many comments but if there are any real pilots seeing this, I would really appreciate your thoughts and suggestions for a round 2 of this. Thanks.
I missed the capital of Vermont so my apologies to the Green Mountain State.
That was pretty cool
@@gregmerryman7939 Thanks
Didn't exactly go according to plan, but when do they ever?
This is a great idea for a flight!
Thanks
So after uninstalling and reinstalling the sim I was happy to find that it didn't lose my hours in the sim or any other stats. Probably not going to matter when 2024 comes out. Oh well.
Finally fixed my issues with the add-ons. Yay!
During this video I mention that I'm going to uninstall and reinstall the sim on my Xbox in an attempt to fix my issues and I'm happy to report that it seems like it worked. Cleared all the clocks on my planes though. Oh well, at least I can fly them again.
So I failed to fail, which makes me either the biggest failure of all time or something else entirely.
The ATC sounds demonic
It really is one of my favorites idk why but it just feels comfortable for me to fly
Always coming in high. Better high than too low
I feel like active yeast departure would probably be a good thing 😂
I'm not sure how I feel about that.
I definitely gotta work on landing this thing. I used to be half decent but it's been quite a while since I flew it much. Please revel in my ineptitude. 😁
Sorry the other planes are not working, hopefully the new version will be better!
Keep up rhe good woek remember me when your famous.
Thanks, I will though I don't think we should hold our breath. 😜
Pretty cool plane that I haven't spent a whole lot of time in but I like AND it isn't malfunctioning like the rest of my favorite planes.
Well I made it the whole way there this time. Small victories.
Back in the big, angry bee for the conclusion of Leg 4 of the Lower 48 Caps. The plane got a little ahead of me towards the end but I still managed to conduct a survivable landing. What more can you ask of a fake pilot?
Not the plane or flight I had planned today but I've been wanting to get the Skymaster in anyway so enjoy!
240 in a dive or WOT maybe, closer to 220
Yeah, the stock numbers are often on the ambitious side.
So, if anyone watches this and notices my terrible mistake, they will also know why I almost ran out of fuel. Please try to enjoy my incompetence :)
Does it work well on xbox? And do you use keyboard or controller ?
I use a keyboard, mouse, Honeycomb Alpha and Bravo and Thrustmaster rudder pedals and also a small Autopilot box from Axair.
Forgot to push an important button and lost track of which way the runway was facing causing a weird spiral climb out. Reminder: not a real pilot here. As if one could forget.
I forgot to push that button again, worst landing ever and I found a strange alien artifact at the airport. Good times.
"It's more like your know-it-all uncle trying to explain something he thinks he understands." Love your work mate :)
Thanks so much, and thanks for watching!
Just in case anyone was wondering, I looked up what it would be like to drive this same journey and by my calculations, driving an SUV between these 2 airports would save you 1 or 2 gallons of gas but take you about 3 1/2 hours longer. 😊
Just as an added bit of info, VOR stands for Very high frequency Omnidirectional Range because the transmitter gives you your direction and range/distance away. Kinda forgot to mention that in part 1.
We're back to finish the flight home with my new imaginary airplane. We'll finally get into the GTN 750 and talk about approaches. And of course, I'll get a bit messed up in the descent plus, my frame rate gets messed up which turns out to be a self-inflicted issue. Figures.
Are you on xbox?
Yes, exclusively. You?
@@N85PWB same here man, let me know if you want us to add each other 👍
@@AvrgAvGeek01sure, I subscribed to your channel.
@@N85PWB what your Gamer tag?
@@AvrgAvGeek01 PuddinScratch
What we don't have that kind of money?!?😅
I hope someone enjoys this first in the series. And I hope someone finds the flight planning section interesting if not useful.
Happy to be that 'someone' mate! Great stuff.
Well, I made a lot if mistakes in this one. Evey flight and video is a learning experience I suppose.
So I realized I misspoke. The V35B does have rudder trim. The control for it disappeared with the yoke. I'm sure that's not the only thing I got wrong. Enjoy my amateur flying.
Very funny lol
Gotta adjust the trim on your scooby snackerons.
@@MemekingJag yeah the flight dynamics in that thing aren't the greatest 🙂
😂 it launched you off
Big time
So I tempted fate and fate let me know. Not the first time and I'm sure it won't be the last.
Bro we've had that plane on GTA V since forever ago.
$60K to overhaul each TIGO engine...
Luckily it's free in the simulator.😊
There is so much detail its insane. The cabin temp minigame is crazy. Im loving the first impression.
Glad you like it!
whats the fps like?
If you're asking about the frame rate, there weren't any noticeable slow downs while I was recording but it does look a little choppy in the video once in a while. I think I just didn't let RUclips cook the video long enough before I made it public.
Couldn't resist grabbing the Duke when I saw it was available on the Xbox. In my excitement, I failed to mention that it comes in a turboprop version as well (for some extra $$) but I'm all about the piston planes so it wasn't worth the additional cash to me.
Much higher ratio of flying to checklists in this one. And I forgot to demonstrate how you turn on the failures and damage modeling in the COWS DA42. You go to the very realistic Engine Page on the G1000 and then hit the Menu button to the right and it will bring up a non-realistic panel of options to toggle between a magic plane and a breakable plane. Enjoy.
