Did he forget to actualy turn of the seatbelt sign? :D

[TheiMcSjoerd]

`why would you fly using heading-hold in a situation like this ?

[97epicman]

would it lag much on a AMD Phenom II X3 Mobile Processor N830 (2.1GHz) because ill get it if it doesnt lag too much

[P514sub]

@dermatlmann you can fly to any airport in the world in FSX, so the answer to your question is yes.

[dermatlmann]

can u fly to salzburg using fsx? or are there only certain places you can fly to? i have never owned a flight simulator game, i'd like to buy fsx though.

[jacksaddler]

If you are doing a long haul flight I recommend you increase the simulation rate. (if you didn't that already)

[1Hawk2Hawks]

if you play a lot of flying games and specialy sims i sugest you buy a saitek cyborgxn

gives a nice resistens on the stick compackt comfi powershifter 11 buttons

and adjustebel stick and top beteen agels 0 40

[cvs333]

Instead of having the autopilot hold the heading why don't you just put it on "Nav Hold?" That way, it will just follow the course you have planned instead of you having to constantly change your heading.

[33stribe]

witch joystick do you use?? relly want to know as a young to be pilot

[3gr5nh]

I have watched all of your LP videos of this flight from Edinburgh to Bremen and i learned something new about the ILS system, thanks to you and your videos. i do also play Flight simulator X every day almost because i love aviation. Please make more LP flight simulator x videos.

[ogdallasking]

hm good flying skill and good vid

[UKairsoft94]

If you didnt speed it up would it be actual flight times?

[BMinko15]

@UKairsoft94 it will yes im not the uploader but i tried London -- Sofia it took me 2h 45min ( real time )

[soldier2975]

@BMinko15 i had to wait 2 days to get to japan lol i went the long way from california but did not go into the pacific i went across the atlantic

[aggroberlina2oo7]

You Use to Fly your Keyboard? o.o - I cant fly with my keyboard xD

[vxgt1613]

do you play useing joypadvor mouse and keyborad if yuo use mouse and keyborad is it garder or easyier

call me a noob if yuo want but im geting the gmae and i wanna know thnks

[NSFThunderbird]

Joystick. It's way easier. Don't even try keyboard. It's too inaccurate. I've never tried mouse.

[BMinko15]

@NSFThunderbird you better dont :D trust me i used to play with the mouse but its crap :D

[Deliphin11]

@NSFThunderbird Mouse is quite accurate, but Joystick feels more realistic, so it would be more of a personal preference, Mouse and Joystick are equal in accuracy, but they feel different.

[CWH1always]

@vxgt1613 carn yuo sjpel?

[leokidf]

how come you just don't use autopilot now instead of having to constantly control? and if you can't, then you have every right to call me a noob.

[NSFThunderbird]

I could activate it, of course, but I prefer to fly the plane manually during climbout, and activate the autopilot when I'm on course.

[soldier2975]

@leokidf well ur not really a noob this is a simulator that is so realistic it is even used for flight training but its still like a game in my opinion its to much a simulator for u to be a nob but also in my opinion its to much like a game to be a simulator but i would not recomend u a noob

[CaptainJoeLewis]

No props :)

Remember to not do 3500FPM ALL of the time otherwise you risk stalling, 3500FPM May change to something like 2900FPM if you're on the heavy side. I just departed Kotoka Intl and had to climb at 2600FPM due to my 80% fuel and full payload, so keep that in mind :)

[CaptainJoeLewis]

Yeah, it wasn't too much of nose up pitch.

It's normal to see an airliner climbing with 15 degrees of nose up pitch, we do this to get to our cruising altitude as quickly as possible.

If you just fly on free flight, fly how you like.

but when you're on a schedule, you want to get to your cruise altitude ASAP.

I usually takeoff and pitch up 20 Degrees until 1500AGL, Then engage A/P To hold 3500FPM all the way till FL100. then 3000FPM Till FL180 (Transition Altitude), then Cruise climb (1800FPM)

[NSFThunderbird]

@CaptainJoeLewis

Thanks for the info.. I've never actually looked up the actual procedures for taxiing or climbout, so I just took my best guess at how it would actually be done. I'll be sure to do it right next time though.
