So so helpful. Ive just spent the last two hours watching Part 1 and Part 2. That includes jumping back and occasionally pausing. Ive got the Guide saved and ready, but wanted to watch this full tutorial first. Ive been struggling with Nav, Autopilot etc. Learned a lot with these two videos great job taking the time to slow down and explain each step for us. Thank you.
You're very welcome! These videos are a little old, so if you run into anything different, try a more recent video. MOST of my videos are full flight with nothing edited out. Not all are tutorial oriented, but you can usually always see what I do
Great videos on the longitude. You may know this but FYI… Equation for decent: Current altitude - (minus) desired final approach altitude x 3 then divided by 1000 = miles out to start decent Ground speed x 5 = decent rate Has been working well for me.
Really enjoyed these two easy to understand tutorials. I've just started learning to fly the Longitude and this is the best tutorial I've found and have based my checklist on. Awesome work!
Awesome videos man, thank you for taking the time. I like seeing the little mess ups as seeing you go through that helps me learn. From someone that's totally learning from scratch this has helped a TON!
FLC is Flight Level Change. Its not the same as VNAV. FLC is desighned to adjust the pitch to maintain the airspeed you have set. It will descend quickly dependant on the airspeed you select. Offers speed protection of course. It ignores the altitude constraints in the FMC. It's VNAV that descends according to THE FMC descent profile. I don't have the new sim yet so not sure if VNAV is implemented for this aircraft in the sim. Glideslope should be intercepted from below. Keep up the good work. 👍
I don’t have this aircraft as I haven’t upgraded to the Premium collection in MSFS, but it stands to reason that if the Longitude with the Flight Dynamics mod is compatible with the WT G3000 mod, VNAV should be functional, yes? So after watching this, two questions: 1) does VNAV in the WT G3000 mod include support for a speed parameter for each waypoint in the approach, and 2) why didn’t you use VNAV to manage your altitude on the approach - even if speed needed to be managed manually (depending on answer to #1)?
In a real plane FLC is used to set the SPEED at which to climb or descend to the altitude set in the altitude preselect. So FLC is constrained by the FMC, in that it will stop at the altitude preselected.
@@TenantRepGuru As I said. Pitch is adjusted to maintain speed. "Flight Level Change" Mode, or "Speed" Mode, adjusts aircraft pitch to maintain a constant indicated airspeed." As for the FMC, altitude preselect is on the autopilot panel, glare shield in a big jet, FLC will ignore all altitude constraints in the FMC and level off at the altitude set on the autopilot panel.
SUPER clear, super informative video. The Citation Longitude 700 is probably my favorite jet in the game and with the flight model + WT mods it brings it to the next level. Thanks so much for this video.
Would love to see some videos on the Diamond DA62. Give the GA some love! It’s my favorite aircraft in the game and seems pretty well flushed out for a stock aircraft. Just feels good to fly. This has been a great tutorial series and I feel much more confident with this plane. Can’t wait to see what you have in the future and plan on buying a guide here soon. Thanks for everything
It IS a good tutorial: I had the exact same issue a couple of times with not realizing the AP was not actually enabled, as there is so much stuff in the enunciator and the red AP disabled warning disappears quite quickly.
Don't worry about the autopilot mistake. That just adds realism into it. Also, in the CRJ-700 the callout after takeoff was "Positive rate, gear up select Nav (or HDG). At 400 ft. AGL the callout was "Autopilot ON". Let me know if this correlates to the Longitude. Is there a written checklist for this aircraft? You should be able to arm APPR Mode before Glide Slope intercept. Don't beat yourself up on the mistakes, remember you are flying a two pilot aircraft single pilot. In the real world you would have a First Officer to do a lot of the things you had to do yourself. Great video.
Awesome video, same with the first part. Learned a whole bunch about this jet and will watch again when I go to fly it. I did wanna throw my mouse at the monitor though watching that glide slope bubble drop without you hitting the approach mode. Hope to see more videos from ya!
Hey brother… just a note, normal takeoff flaps are set at flaps 2. Also, to make takeoff smoother and not dip initially, I like to engage FLC, wait until the FD to dip then match my artificial airplane, then I’ll engage AP.
Me too bro. I get sidetrack when coming to land. Its normal :) Thanks for the Tutorial Video. I've been trying to figure out how to use the LOC and I never got it right. Hopefully it'll be helpful in the long run. I'll let you know how well I did on my Longitude
Why don't you use the FMC to descent? It calculates the TOD and brings you down gradually with the FPM you configure, while taking all speed and altitude restrictions into consideration
Every time I fly this plane with or without auto throttle or auto pilot. It always pulls the power back to idle. I always have to power it back up. Then after a few minutes it goes to idle. What am I doing wrong?
Hi - nice, detailed videos. I am new to the world of Flight Sim, but fly a HondaJet with the G3000 in real life. I am trying to use FLC in the Latitude, but can not seem to set the Speed. Do I need to download something or is there a trick to setting it? Currently, I left click on the SPD and roll the mouse wheel and nothing changes. That approach works on selecting the altitude though. Thx
Hey bro. I have been flying the Longitude for months. Without a tutorial in the beginning, I sort of did my own thing and tried to figure out what works. I have no issue with take-offs but since I have your tutorial, I thought I might clean up my process and follow your tutorial. The problem is; I cannot get the auto-throttle to engage. I have tried watching the process several times without success. In essence, I throttle to 50% N1 and slowly creep down the runway eating up the runway. I have tried a few things but for some reason I cannot get AT to acuate. AT normally seems to work fine once I get some altitude. I tried engaging AP early while rolling but still no joy on the AT. Any thoughts on what step I am missing?
Great intro to the Longitude. I am not sure that your flap setting speeds are correct. I would think that 210 kts for F1 and 180 kts F2 The yellow tape on the speed display is the minimum speed for that configuration. Let me say I have no experience with the Cessna aircraft so I could be wrong, I do have 15,000 plus hours on jets.
Like the video but can you explain what you see on the screen to let you know TOGA is activated I’ve been doing your steps and am having trouble taking off with auto throttle and toga not activating
Thanks for your videos on the longitude as usual very detailed information, it would be nice if you had time for the cj4 it has been stripped down & been worked on just like the tbm 930 . I’ve improved the cockpit with the walnut & cream finish @ also the passenger section has been up graded, as I feel the longitude has been ignored keep up the good work Paul Birmingham U K.
im confused on how to change my display for speed. Mine has TAS KT on the bottom and i believe IAS on the vertical. How do I set it for KNTs on the vertical like you have?
Thanks for the video, very informative. I do have a little issue though. I’m all up in cruise altitude and everything is just fine except that the plane is rolling from side to side. Like 10 degrees - 1 degree/sec - and even though I have operated every little button concerning trimming, nothing seems to help?? Any Ideas??
Thank you! Can you explain what the difference is between the FMS and the MANUAL speed setting? I see you used Manual the whole time. What does the FMS do as there is no Speed setting in the FMS I can see?
MAN speed the autothrottle will try to maintain the speed that you selecet. that spped is above the airspeed tape and its blue......FMS speed, the autothrottle will try maintain whatver speed is in the FMS for whatever fix you have seleceted. Usefull on a STAR or SID.....some arrivals will say "cross BUNTS at 12,000' and 280Kts" THE FMS has the 280kts already programed in, so it will just go to that speed with out pilto intervention.
@@ReefAndReptileAutomation that is correct. it doesn't work. The longitude is so poorly modeled I unstalled the whole game and chalked it up to lesson learned.
@@ReefAndReptileAutomation when looking at flight plan.....to the right of the fix there is a box for speeds, you can put whatever speed you want in there and if the autothrottle is set to "FMS" it will follow that speed. It will also default to 250kts at 10,000 and provide flap protection in FMS speed only.
So I use a Bravo Throttle Quadrant. How will the sim react to having actual throttles. Will auto throttle work if I map one of my switches to simulate setting auto throttle?
@@OverkillSimulations my brother and I loaded the mods and have struggled to make the autothrottle work consistently. Mapped a switch on bravo to arm and disconnect autothrottle. Pilots display shows AT but seldom works as expected. Can you provide more info?
Final takeoff (speed). This is the maximum speed the aircraft can be on the ground. When you reach 185kts in the Longitude you MUST be off the ground or you risk damage or worse...
been in flying for 45 minuts why the fuck won't my speed go faster then 220 kts.... ahhhh fuck I forgot to put the gear up.... I need to start using dame checklist....

lol I was thinking when you were saying "why is it trying to descend and I am looking at the PFD thinking....no AP on lol"

So in fact you DID hit the autopilot. Light came on, but as soon as you went to adjust the speed, the A/P went back off.
Any idea why?
Why switch from knots to mach? Is there any benefit or requirement for doing so?

Have you clicked TOGA when taking off?
@@Uramanpro Yea, I figured this out over a year ago. I no longer fly this plane and moved to the PMDG 737. Thanks for asking, though.
Nice. How do you get the flight path vector on the PFD, I can’t have it displayed

Thank you! I made over 20 flights without realising this plane has auto thrust 🤦🏽♂️
Does THE TO/GA button only work in WorkingTitle mode ?
I asked, you provided. Thank you ;-)
Change the speed back to knot and set it for 227 or 228, and you will get .83 p5 .84 mach
Remember that default takeoff flaps is flaps 2, not 1.
Nice tutorial, BTW.
Why don't you fly it manually.does the autopilot do everything for you.
Another great instructional video. Do you ever sleep :-)
What is this 5 letter word you speak of :)

I have the same problem
Check that the sim is NOT in sim time advance
I noticed in part 2 you have FD on. When did you do it?
You were flying with your ELT on? You realize that’s not your “transmitter” right? And you don’t need to turn on APU for shutdown… super unnecessary

how do you activate autothrottle?
Does anyone know what the key binding is for the TO/GA switch?
In the settings its AUTO THROTTLE TO GA
So I use a Bravo Throttle Quadrant. How will the sim react to having actual throttles. Will auto throttle work if I map one of my switches to simulate setting auto throttle?

When will this be released?
Mine descends when I engage auto pilot also and I have to use vertical speed to make it climb.
It is such a shame that this aircraft, which was sold as part of the Premium Package is so wanting of modeling. It has such potential.
I think I'll just stick with the TBM. This thing is ridiculously complicated
were is FTO stands for?
Final takeoff (speed). This is the maximum speed the aircraft can be on the ground. When you reach 185kts in the Longitude you MUST be off the ground or you risk damage or worse...

Sorry you just lose me. To complicated.
