such an underrated channel! Keep up the good work!
That was a real one-stop shop, thanks.
You can't imagine how incredibly helpful these videos are! Thanks a lot!
P Gatcomb, you currently have the best videos on these topics, especially the more complicated ones. Way to go!
All the little sound effects crack me up! 😁
Really liking all the tutorial videos, so helpful. Thanks!
Thank you! I always used airliners and I always wanted to learn General Aviation. This video series helped me a lot getting into GA!
Thanks for providing all these videos! The G3X is so much more intuitive and easier to use than the G1000. I just started flying and learning the Xcub today and was amazed by the G3X. Picked up some additional info. watching your video. Tail draggers are quite the animal when landing, ended up on my nose coming in to hot on one of landings, lol.
Brilliant video's for anyone getting used to MSFS2020 or anyone who is new in general to the sim, Great job Gatcomb.
Thanks for making these guides! It is helping me discover more features and planes to try out.
thanks, i was trying to find the weather radar in the king air 350i and your video was helpful in informing me there isn't one and also showed me some features i didn't know about :)
Thank you! These videos are just what I needed! Building my new PC this fall for MSFS2020. Glad I will have these to get familiar with the new avionics.
Another helpful video. I pause your videos over and over and take notes because you’re so fast. I spent half an hour in the King Air trying to find a way to switch the AP from NAV to GPS before I figured it out. Wish I’d watched this video first!
Seriously Thankyou for making these tutorials they couldn’t be any more help
Thank you. I really love your A/P tutorials.
Dude, these videos have been saving me! Keep em coming!
Great video and explanation. Seems all the other videos are for the 1000 gps. Keep up the great work. There’s so much to learn.
I was really struggling with the radios & approach mode on the G3X, thanks so much for this
Wow just refreshed and seen this. Nice, keep it up
best autopilot video so far.
Thank you for another awesome tutorial!
Your videos are great. It would be helpful if you could make a video on navigation and other basic items too(ILS, VOR...)
Thank you for these, they are super helpful!
Could you please do a video dedicated to use the garmin for different landings? For example, Nnav, ILS etc
Ive been OBSESSED with your videos PG, I really appreciate how thorough you are being as well as how calming your voice is. Are you by chance going to do a tutorial on using the approach autopilot? I am getting more comfortable with NAV, HDG, FLC, etc, but when it comes to transitioning to landing, all I see is just a direct line to the airport. What do we need to do to ensure we hit the "entry" points and then use APR?
I think I saw you flying in this area the other day. KDXR is pretty local to me so I fly out of there often in FS. Great vid btw, love the X Cub.
If you could make a video talking about ILS and how to use it, that would be so helpful. I don't know where you're meant to get these frequencies, and I don't understand what the different approaches mean, or what the transitions are (HFD). Is it something you need to study beforehand, or do the transition abbreviations mean something intuitively.
Thanks for the Yaw Dampener explainer sub'd! Love the AutoPilot rundown vids
Can you only enter an approach procedure after entering a direct GPS destination? On the G1000 I can freely choose for which airport I want to prepare the procedure for a stopover without screwing up my FPL, and delete the approach again before I take off for the next leg to de-clutter the map. Is there no way to do it on the G3X?
Much appreciated, very helpful indeed!
Oke you made my head spinning with all that info 😂
I have to see this a few times to learn this but its awesome.
Thanks
Thanks for AP video, I had to watch it a few times as the only thing I found was the commentary was a little fast to really take it all in and the mouse was clicking on buttons a little fast....but I did learn a few things.
Thing is so easy to use I was able to figure out how to set a flight plan and get from point A to B C D. Looking up information on the different modes outside of auto pilot nav mode.
Awesome video! Thanks man
Pls make one of the citation longitude
You're flying in my backyard! I fly MMK all the time! Cheers 🍻
I've been flying exclusively g1000 planes so far. This is so much better!
Very helpful! Thanks!
thank you for your content
Very useful videos, man. Oh, and I'm watching this from Spain haha.
Thanks for the video! This was just the thing I was looking for. We were doing the bush flights with this plane with my friend and tried to use the AP but now it seems we were using it wrong.
Good stuff as always! I just can't figure out how to change the altimeter on the main display.
didn't think ILS/IFR would be so fun but somehow it is. i like taking flights through canada and just listening to youtube until it's time to land
Great video. Thank u
A few questions. Is there a wind indicator? How do you set the VOR course direction? Lastly, how do you set barometric pressure on the main screen other than pressing 'B'
Thanks for this video. I have an issue with myXCub, and I see that you have the same issue - the map is not orientated to North correctly. When you are flying a 90° course, the aircraft icon in the centre of the map should be heading due East, 90°, yet on mine and yours it's showing the aircraft flying roughly at about a 70° angle! Is there any way to re-align the map to North? Hope you or someone can answer this as it's driving me nuts! The map seems to be permanently c15° out. Also, has anyone else noticed that in the Bush Trips, the POI markers are missing from the VFR map in the Cubs?
Count me as a brand new subscriber... I think even an old lunkhead like me might be able to learn something here. Thanks! :)
Can you add a user waypoint (coördiantes) with this C3X in MFS2020?
Starting out in NeoFly where you have to go to a Drop Zone / Search Zone. Struggling to add the coördinates into my flight plan.
I was flying in the XCub and when I would use the autopilot, it kept trying to take me back to the airport I took off from. How do I skip to the next waypoint or whatever that is entered into the FMS?
I like the pace of your vids. Keep up the great work. The thing is that if you are going to stuff that much automation into a high performance cub, why not go the distance and make a fully functional legs page that allows you to build your own RNAV approaches? There are many real world missions that require the abilty to get into and out of some very remote locations with mountainous terrain in IMC. conditions.
AWESOMEEEEEEEEEE!! thank you!!
is there any way to view in the screen airport details?, such as radio freq.
Does the G1000 allow you to create flight plans from scratch (or change during a flight)? And any way to call up ILS frequencies for new destinations in-flight (I found where they are on the initial flight setup screen before you fly)
These are great. Really enjoying them. Could you do an RNAV approach? I see these at a lot of airports but not sure how to do them or how they compare with ILS
Can you enter FAA LIDs into the flight plan instead of the ICAO codes? Because most backcountry airstrips have only FAA codes and don't have ICAO codes.
First of all, thanks a lot to the @P_Gatcomb for such awesome tutorials that made me learn glass cockpits.
Does G3X work for anybody for ILS approaches? I cannot do KPDK-GA27-AABEE-CHAMB-KPDK (ILS 21L). AP just gets me into weird attitudes so I have to disengage and recover and then I cannot seem to delete AABEE and go to CHAMB and AP puts me into weird attitude again. Am I having a user errot or G3X just doesn't work for ILS approaches?
Is there a way to add custom waypoint on the G3x ?
I always have a hard time flying this plane. It tends to turn left and right constantly and I have to keep it flying straight all the time. Is that normal or am I doing something wrong?
the IAS button doesn't seem to work to initiate a flight level change (assuming it's supposed to?). it instead switches units between knots and mach, which is pretty hilarious given the application.
HELP. no matter what i do i get both my dep and dest airports set but no magenta line on the map, how can i get that to show, without it i am so lost, please help.
What is the light blue circle surrounding the plane on the flight plan? Thanks
You make good turorials, keep it up! Btw, can we get a good turorial for vnav? would be awesome!
Thank you i couldn't figure out how to switch from VOR to GPS
Thanxs for that Video. Please, can you explain to me what exactly the FMS mode is? Greetings from Austria
The taildragger flight model doesn't really simulate ground loops... nor can you really do a good wheelie landing with the way it's set up. It's a bit annoying, but hopefully they'll fix these issues. Great video as always - thank you for taking the time do do these.
What button do you have to toggle the upper view?
What quality specs are you using on FS2020 and on what pc specs? Runway did not look that well...
Thanks ! 👌
Left click to change the C.D.I. from vor to gps… I’ve spent half the morning trying to find a C.D.I. or gps/nav button in that cockpit 🤣🤣
Same here. Took me a while to accidentally find out the left half of the display has touch function too ...
Thank you🤙🏽
How in the world do you adjust the baro? can change it on the standbye alt no problem but not the main Garmin?
Edit: Figured it out have to switch to full screen and then the map zoom/page select options become baro settings.
Hah! Thank you for updating with your edit. I've been going crazy trying to figure out how to change the barometer. Anyway, hope you're enjoying your rug.
Ahhh finally! Thank you!! Was looking all over the cockpit for this!
Thanks for this great tutorial. Been trying to wrap my ahead around the g3x. it's specially confusing on the JMB VL-3 since it lacks the auto pilot panel.
It lacks the ap panel, but the ap keybindings work with it, it's very weird
Does this one do weather rsdar
I've had this autopilot try to auger me in until I hit the LVL button. What gives????
This video just made the Los Cerros bush trip EXTREMELY easy lmao ty man
How do you change the baro in the G3x? The baro knob on the standby only seems to work for the standby instrument.
Right large knob when it's in fullscreen mode.
Soo good been binging those. The little wane is probably fun to use!
You mentioned VOR flight are you gonna do one of those? Getting rhe freqs from the Garmin and doing a VOR flight?
Not sure how to get the vor frequencies from the garmin either
hello, quite nice, but how can I select a course to follow an inbound radial to a VOR ??
Click 'Full' in top right corner to get couse/baro functionality from bottom right dial.
Thanks for the tutorial... is there really no wind display anywhere in this plane/garmin?
Came here to ask the same question. In the G1000 its easy to do, but I can't seem to find it in the G3X. Have you been able to find it yet? In the official menu it says this: Showing/hiding wind data:
1) From the full-screen PFD and/or split-screen PFD Page, press the MENU
Key.
2) Move the FMS Joystick to highlight the Wind Vector field.
3) Turn the FMS Joystick to highlight ‘Speed/Dir’ or ‘Head/X-wind’.

right, where is the ILS info, when clicking on an airport with ILS (colored in runway), no frequencies show, like G1000 or the cessna
Regarding the trim it seems that the initial click moves it one notch and then after a second or so it starts moving in continuously. You can see it if you look at the trim dial. (sorry if I am not using the correct terms)
I noticed that too. Its horrible for me. I even considered buying a trim wheel
For someone new to the franchise, and trying to learn (ILS, IFR, VOR, and Autopilot), which plane do you recommend to learn these concepts with? This one didn't look to bad
The Cessna 172S G1000 edition. He has a few videos on the G1000 glass cockpit and autopilot.
I have no idea what I'm doing wrong, but I activate nav mode, FD, and VS and when I activate the AP, my plane rolls to the left like crazy. What could be causing that? I do am in FMS mode.
I have similar experiences... To me it is a roll to the right :) and to me it appears that G3X AP is pretty broken
What happens if you start with just enabling AP? Does it level the wings?
Just not flying the XCub for the first time (some Alaska bush flying). Fun little aircraft.
Yeah it is great plane. The only downside, after I have already landed it, trying to break too fast to bring it to a complete stop I have flipped it one too many times, it loves to nosedive.
How do you see your current settings for trim and flaps on the MFD?
Here: ruclips.net/video/e1A1oX4ywk0/видео.html You can see the trim in the bottom left corner. It's a little vertical bar. For checking flaps you can just look up as the flaps lever is next to your head at the top left of the cockpit.
Sadly, G3X does not have the "Waypoint info" option, wich is great
can you display wind directions and speed on the G3X?
yes, you can click with the mouse on the bottom left screen and youll see a pop up menu and then find Wind direction On/Off
How do you adjust the barometer in this plane?
There's a small display to the bottom left of the main display. You can adjust it there, if I recall correctly.
If you press B when on ground before your take off, it would calibrate and adjust the correct local baro pressure for you.
Put the screen into "full" mode. The bottom right outer knob then has a baro setting instead of select page.
@@G0rdonFr33man Very helpful!
I cannot find two things in this avionics suite. 1. How to adjust the baro setting on the PFD altitude tape: which you mention adjusting but never show how..... and 2. How to select the CDI course / bearing for the VOR1 / VOR2 CDI as I can't find a course selection knob for that. How do you adjust the CDI bearing in VOR1 / VOR2? While you can adjust the baro setting in the small secondary / backup ADI, as it has a knob for that, I can find no way to change the baro setting in the PFD. Where is this accomplished?

Did you ever find this.
@@Fnargl99 Yes. I found a way to do both things. Thank you.
@@5dmkiii60 how?
@@Fnargl99 You have to hit the, "split" button on the main screen so that you have only the course info as a full display...no map. Then you will be able to adjust the baro by turning the inner knob on the lower right of the main display. As for CDI adjustment? I found where the adjust CDI function was in the mapping settings for my throttle quadrant and mapped those commands to an available switch on the quadrant. I move the switch left and the CDI rotates counter clockwise. Move to the right...CDI rotates clockwise. Easy peasy. Works great.
Did you succeed to activate a flight plan or turn on/off the autopilot?
guys, did anyone find out how to view the wind speed on the G3X as on the G1000 or G3000?
I'm really struggling to find any menu in those for the wind 😐
@@therealtjpek in g1000 and g3000 it's in the PFD settings menu, there are three options for each... but for the touch, I couldn't find it... and it drives me crazy :D
Thank you thank you thank you....oh and thank you...did i mention thank you? :)
where do you find ILS frequencies?
in the game, they’re on the flight plan page - go to ‘filters’ at the bottom then scroll down and turn the last three items ‘on’ - you’ll see ILS icons appear on airports. Click on one and you should get a pop up window showing the ILS frequency for that runway
Or google the airport code and ils while in flight, it breaks immersion OR increases is depending on how you feel
You didn't tell us how to change the altimeter, just to do it. How do you change that? There's the setting on the left smaller screen but I don't see it on the PFD.
Trying to figure out out myself. Especially how to switch between hpa and inhg
Where is the turn co-ordinator on the X Cub's G3X ?
It's on the PFD above the yellow attitude bar. It's represented as a white triangle with a smaller white bar under it. If you're in a coordinated turn, the white bar stays under the white triangle. If you aren't coordinated, you'll see the white bar sticking out to either side.
@@dreamerosity Thanks a lot, no wonder I couldn't find it
Thats my local airport!
Please tell me where is the VOR course knob?
Same. I couldnt figure out how to adjust the vor course
@@kevinpinkney1258 I don't think is simulated (yet), so no VOR nav, only GPS (that sucks)
@@AlvaroCortizo I think you have to setup hotkeys.
@@kevinpinkney1258 Yes !, that will work, but the Garmin itself has a method for changing the course (and a gazillion of options) that they are not simulated (yet), i hope that asobo, add more functions missinf to all the planes (NO DME at all on the steam gauges planes, for example... (yes , you can use the garmin 530 as a fake DME on the C172 for example... but , on the C152??... )
Is a just launched game/sim, with a great future, i hope MS dont abandon it
I've been wondering where the Course knob is too. Weird.
Nice video.. but where's the Course knob?
you can change the course for VOR by the right knob, but you have to be in full screen first.
@@fabiendromby8835 Wow okay. That's weird. I'll try that. Thank you.
Did you just say "I'm gonna go ahead and go back??" Heheh 9:36
PLEASE speak slower and don't move your mouse that fast and often!!! You are offering excellent content with real indepth Info, what many users really will love to get. But it's extremely hard to follow you due to too high speed of speech and mouse. People need to think to understand your tutorials, but you are overpacing too much to be able to really follow you.
Don't get me wrong, but i think you deserve much more followers, so help people to follow you...
P FR You can slow down the playback speed to something usable for you. Let him work at a speed that’s comfortable for him.
Thank you very much for the video!. . . One bit of constructive criticism (I hope!) you have a tendency to get ahead of yourself. At some point, you were all, "Ok! Let's engage the automatic pilot!" and then just starting hitting all sorts of random things and I entirely lost track of what you were doing.
I don't think I have ever heard anyone consistently call it the "automatic pilot".
The true mark of a scholar and gentleman!
@@daveslow84 - Not really. No-one calls it an "automatic pilot"; not in flight simming nor in real world aviation. It just sounds silly.
