Super Easy-How to Navigate in FSX

[tahaisawsome]

Thanks that helped

[CabinFeverEpic]

If you typed in the coordinates from points A to B, would the magenta line appear on your gps. If that happens can you just set the heading hold to that heading and follow that?

[fsxsupremer]

what recomendation of nm out would u say start approach

[fsxsupremer]

thnx mate wit aproach does it auto land or just line u up

[TheAirsoftChannel24]

Wen u load an approach wat do u do. Does it auto land or just take u in line with the runway?

[fsxsupremer]

@TheAirsoftChannel24 no ive just tried it but i was close to the airport so i

[Livvy1400]

Hey Everyone, Just a quick question....

The first time i tried to do this it worked and properly lined me up with the runway etc

But every other time it just fly's me over the airport without even guiding me to the runway..

I only got this game a week ago and i am enjoying but this..... you know

(I load approach as soon as i takeoff)

[airbusa321expert]

THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!

[julle3213]

Will this line me up with the runway and everything?

[allanwewe]

@julle3213 learn to ILS.

[julle3213]

@allanwewe That wasn't the answer I was looking for, jerk.

[allanwewe]

@julle3213 here's another useful answer. GET BETTER

[julle3213]

@allanwewe m8, don't be such an ass hole, go get a life ALLAN.

[allanwewe]

@julle3213 I happen to have one while urs is spent poking around youtube for answers when clear information could've been obtained from a better source.

[hugeF1]

Excellent tutorial. Such a confusing system. Thanks to you, I now get it.

[diegodaudt]

@hugeF1 It's not hard at all... Practice my friend.

[XxTheExpertGamerxX]

a quick way to get your GPS iss to press shift+3

[Crshr123]

THANK YOU ALOT HELPED MY LOTS

[Guitarplayer14ful]

Thanks man for your help !!!

[Deltarocks1]

Ok well I know how to use the GPS and everything but I am wondering like when I take off how do I get the plane to climb to cruising altitude on its own. And as well while i am flying how do I get it to hold a steady altitude without me having to hold the yoke the entire time. Because if I let go of the yoke the plane wants to naturally climb and i have to push the yoke down but then I go to far and it starts to go lower in altitude than I want . So how do I keep the plane level during flight.

[RIcciAir]

@Deltarocks1 set the altitude hold after takeoff

[pilotjanmanpeterpan]

@Deltarocks1 use autopilot?

[CabinFeverEpic]

@Deltarocks1 You need to set your altitude hold button to whateverr altitude you want to crusie at, then you push button for altitude hold and put on autopilot. Hope that helps. BTW i used to have the same problem cuz i didnt know what to do.

[MauerTwins7]

if you are performing a visual landing, do you still use the GPS to guide you in, but not turn on the ILS?

[NumanFsl]

My plane won't line up with the pink like in the GPS, can you help?

[XxTheExpertGamerxX]

@NumanFsl press vorloc

[owner8515]

What if it's Captain sim 757?

[mullet559]

when i do it it dont follow the pink line?

[nws15]

how to landing using GPS??

[1216saab]

I understand that a ILS approach has to be within 30 degrees of the planes flight pattern/path.The localizer wont pick up and display DME either. I miss approaches if the runway is 30 or more degrees. The GPS and/or Nav function does not guarantee an absolute accurate approach for me.

[nadarien09]

Thanks alot, it really helped me!

[rome877]

how do u display the top functions in the top left with world,help etc ?

[TheManics4]

When you slect the ILS approach in the gps, will the autopilot do everything or will you have to set the NAV1 freq and all that stuff manually?

[shadyz2009]

@TheManics4 Oh you have to do "All that stuff", manually. Because if you don't, How the fuck will the plane capture the ILS signal, Oh c'mon if everything goes like it is, In the future planes are going to fly automatically, without pilots.

[fsxgamer1]

hey man how do you get air traffic control to know your flight?

[MARKSTER711]

To get the GPS in virtual cockpit its Shift + 3 buddy

[fsxgamer1]

Alsok say i choose a airport e.g heathrow can i choose like 27r and it will show me the direction to where the runway is, also like say if i choose voc and it takes me to my airport will it like turn to the runaway then i like choose app please reply??

[fsxgamer1]

ok say i choose a airport e.g heathrow can i choose like 27r and it will show me the direction to where the runway is??

[JoakimVG]

you really helped me! thanks :)

[LItalianoo]

So you don't have to do anything :P

[LItalianoo]

Ok. I have to check.

If I understand it correct, everything is automatic.

Not manual.

If you don't understand me its because I'm from Holland and my Englisch is not very good. :P

[nextgenMW2]

@LItalianoo Everything was correct! Well done! Except for "English" :D

[shadowsprick]

hi, do you have to plan a route before you go into the free flight ?

[dosejoke]

I understood some stuff , but it seems u were in a hurry ,dont assume people who fly planes here are all pros ,Nice vid though

[owner8515]

i have captain sim 757 and i dont know how to navigate without gps because it does not have one

[TheC17A]

or shift 3

[rico6297]

when you press shift z and all that stuff comes up,which one is the knots?

[SurebrecUK]

can you set the gps to the destination and follow it manually? I know auto pilot is ideal for long flights, but say for an airport that is only a short distance away, can't you just fly and follow the gps manual?

[JIMAXair]

@SurebrecUK Absolutly. The route it displays is what the computer flies and if you wanted to you could manually line your plane up with the line and you'd still get to where it was set for.

[SurebrecUK]

@JIMAXair ok, thanks

[cooldude62197]

Also, you can set all autopilot controls the same, but turn on flight director instead of Autopilot. This will generate a guide of exactly how the autopilot would fly the plane if it was turned on.

[NumanFsl]

Where is the VOR LOC button? i cant seem to find it?

[mzitpartille]

Wow I have searched on Google and You tube how to handle GPS.

You are the best tutorial maker ever!!!!

[kennedy1233]

umm i have fsx but i have a new cpu but the code what u put in it sayd it has been used to much times so how can i get it back

[littlelj9]

Where can I find all the ICAL airport codes?

[hondansx1000]

dude that helped a gr8 deal tnxs a lot, i take it it works for fs2004 aswell?

[AFCBLK]

ow do you know what course selct to put in ?

[MrNuxi]

It´s 100x easier to use Flight Planner before start flying, that´s the way that I use in order to fly to point A to B... by now, im only having problems when I have to land :S

[Davidmadis786]

try ILS-IFR (instrument flight rules) LANDING it will make ur landing much easier

[Davidmadis786]

lots of noobs WOW

[roadsterX]

dude when the airport is coming closer i dont know when to descend :( tell me when to do that

[ThEc00lEr]

@roadsterX all you need to do is put the ils heading and radio frequency into the plane and it wil line up with the runway and it will get you on glideslope and right before landing switch off the auto pilot and land hope this helps

[1216saab]

@ThEc00lEr The heading doesn't always work arbitrarily. If you are flying south of the runway and the approach calls from the North. The plane doesn't automatically line up. It doesn't for me anyway.

[1216saab]

@roadsterX I would say to descend when you are at 10 minutes from runway (in airspace. I descend to between 2000 feet to 2500 feet and make a visual approach with the glide slope runway lights.

[roadsterX]

dude wen u switched off the heading and switched on the vor (or whatever :P)....was ur plane on autopilot ????

[roadsterX]

dude plzzz tell me how to chat on facebook with my friends during the flight ??

[JIMAXair]

@roadsterX only in certain multiplayer sessions can you do that.  On your own solo game it will pause your flight

[JIMAXair]

This won't show you how to ILS.  You need to do other things

[bartybum]

i set all the things that you did right, all the icaos right, but the ils didnt go.

i went to the proc and set up the ils and all, but my plane crashed crashed

[MrStinkyfeets]

thx brav!!!

[UKairsoft94]

"Hello my name is Stephen Hawking"

[frank15http]

omg man thanks a lotttttt,i always got lost in the air lol!!!

[SWE370]

I have " Microsoft Flight simluator X Demo " Does it work on Demo .

Im trying to navigate to LOS ANGELES Airport but I cant navigate the airport please can you help me ?

[JIMAXair]

@SWE370 The demo allows only 30 minutes of flight and the entire simulator is not downloaded either so that wont work.

[mrgothere]

If you enter the heading into the GPS system, do you have to enter the heading, into the box onthe plane itself?

[boontje999]

Thank you very much :D

[beerrunner81]

Thank you for the info. This helps.

[3214349]

you should NOT be flying by only gps... make sure you alway have the backup nav....

[k4show]

OMG this helped so much, thank you

[picturastic]

Thanks! finally know how to use autopilot AND to navigate! helped a lot;)

[mulleolsen]

Your the MAN!! Thank you!

[ZaidVwAdighAForever]

Thank YOU!!!

[296bry296]

That is a very unrealistic way...

[kennedy1233]

how can i add u on multiplayer for fsx meaning whats ur name

[JIMAXair]

Canbox...I rarely go on, however.

[spoof0519]

Thank you so much! this help a lot. But i have a question. When i load up the ..... the plane doesnt follow the line on the gps. i tried app hold and vor/loc

[JIMAXair]

Make sure the "nav/gps" switch is set to gps. That usually would be a reason why its not doing anything

[michael123124]

really helpful

[michael123124]

best vid, man nice man

[JIMAXair]

try searching youtube search engine. I have a vid of me landing a 737 and its a tutorial so it should help :)

[JIMAXair]

haha thanks

[Spartanizzo]

thanks, this is the BEST tutorial ive seen in a long time. I like it because its idiot-proof.

[bodjasg]

Great Video, this is really helpful.

[MenaceMovies]

When I turn the "VOR/Lock" button to on, my 737 doesn't turn or move at all :S Do you have any idea why that is?

[JIMAXair]

Did you engage the NAV/GPS switch and put it to GPS? Make sure your autopilot is on and your GPS has a route inside it.

[MysteriousOddity]

Yeah the NAV/GPS switch was turned to GPS. I did the exact same things as you did in the video. I'll double check autopilot. Oh, and a route was definately loaded.

Thanks for the comment ;)

[JIMAXair]

I have no idea why it wudnt be working. Is it like that with all the planes?

[MysteriousOddity]

Oh and this is MenaceMovies, I'm on another account. Sorry.

[wowluke1]

Hey guys, i highly recommend subscribing to JIMAXair, he has been a great help (as i am a newbie simmer). i requested this vid yesterday and he uploaded the video the following day. check out his other vids which are equally as helpful as this one. Thanx JIMAXair =) 5*

[aviyanka070]

Hey Jim... Can u make a gate to gate flight

tutorial with all the (checklist ) procedures ???

I cant because of FPS problems...

New simmers will apprecate that...

[JIMAXair]

Yea i can do that. Ive been a little busy lately with school and I have a couple other requested vids to make but I should get it up thursday after my last day of school is up.

[aviyanka070]

good intro for new simmers...

[aviyanka070]

good intro for new simmers....

[wowpaladin10]

i usally do it in the flight planner thing and choose vor and all that good crap =)

[JIMAXair]

Yes this also works too
