Google Earth Flight Simulator landing Manchester Airport (EGCC)

[CPChrislo27]

One tip for landing is right when you touch the ground, press and hold the up arrow to lower the nose. Then slow down with comma and period.

Gotta love GEFS... You know, I went through the trouble of 'mapping' nearly all of the major European airports, so that I can travel back and forth. I do enjoy it quite a lot :P

If I'm travelling a 3800 speed, I am usually able to touch ground at 260 speed with 100% flaps if I 'shut down the engines' at approximately 40km from the runway.

[Mazza4Azza]

@x2thay

It is a fun little tool!

Do you use a joystick? 

[x2thay]

@Mazza4Azza Don't have one. I use solely the keyboard. I'd like to try it with a joystick though. Might just be easier.

[gordonferman]

:D:D:D

[05miner]

tactical mute incoming!

[Mazza4Azza]

@05miner

And that is?

[funnycrazy000]

how do u get GPS. Plz reply

[xXxMartin96xXx]

@funnycrazy000

what GPS are you talking about

[funnycrazy000]

@xXxMartin96xXx never mind

[Guns258]

how do you get that simulator plz reply

[mrolegkorol]

@Guns258 go to tools> enter flight simulator > then you choose the plane ( i recommend the 2nd one for beginners) > then current view/or airport start and flyy

[xXxMartin96xXx]

@Guns258

Ctrl + Alt + A on google earth

[spittle97]

u cnt land for crap hhahahahahahahaha in the single engine slow down to 90 knts and tilt to 3 degrees ull float down and kiss the ground

[Mazza4Azza]

@spittle97

Before you go making negative comments about my video, I suggest you learn how to spell. It really is a basic need in English literature. Yes, this landing is not good but you have to consider two things. Firstly, this video was made nearly two years ago. Secondly, I have improved a lot from then. I don't use Google Earth any more; I use FSX. Besides, this isn't even close to flying. Come down to OAA and show me how to land a King Air if you're so confident.

[danoob2110]

@spittle97 You can't spell for crap.

[yesiamawizardjonny]

I'll usually come down with a velocity of around 60, flaps 100% and a decent descent rate and a shallow angle with the ground. Most times I can make a landing without skipping at all. Start lowering velocity at around eye alt. 800 and keep zero degrees on the horizon as you come down.

[Mazza4Azza]

@yesiamawizardjonny

Thanks for the advice

[InfernoFY]

do you use the keyboard or the mouse cause the keyboard was really hard for me. also you werent using landing gear :P

[Mazza4Azza]

@InfernoFY

I used the keyboard for this landing. I did use gear because I was able to taxi off the runway.

[InfernoFY]

@Mazza4Azza oh... how do you keyboard without getting out of control.. also, isn't there some kind of auto pilot? cuz its really boring to keep trying to maintain level

[Mazza4Azza]

@InfernoFY

I think it just takes time to learn how to use the keyboard properly. I'm not sure if there is an autopilot which is a down-side.

[InfernoFY]

@Mazza4Azza oh and the first two planes you get when you get google earth, always choose the jet cuz the other plane, when you taxi, you veer off to the side and you crash land... also you can't see some of the controls on it... when i press lightly on the keyboard, it automatically stalls... so its really annoying

[Mazza4Azza]

@InfernoFY

I personally favour the Cirrus. As you can see from the video, I have no problems with it when I land. The keyboard just takes a little used to; it can be quite tricky at first. I use a joystick now which is much easier. I don't use the simulator much now, though.

[InfernoFY]

@Mazza4Azza ok thanks i figured out how to use a gps (if you didn't already know) you search a route on the normal google earth and then a purple line shows up follow it on the simulator

[Mazza4Azza]

@InfernoFY

Wow, I never knew you could use a GPS on it, I will have to try it out. Thanks for the tip.

[ollivander23]

I landed on the seabed today with a Cirrus SR22!Using the F-16 to land on the seabed is almost impossible... :(

[Mazza4Azza]

@ollivander23

:(

[ollivander23]

@Mazza4Azza someone help me.When i land on the runway and apply the brakes,the plane skids sideways but it was not a crash.For example,1 time i landed at Xiamen Gaoqi Airport.It landed on the runway but it kept going sideways until it was out of the runway.(note:i used the F-16.does it have something to do with the aircraft?)

[Mazza4Azza]

@ollivander23

Check your speed when you land. It is easy to forget how fast you are going when you land in an F-16. Second, make sure you use rudders using the , . keys. That should help.

[ollivander23]

@Mazza4Azza ok thanks!now i can land a plane without skidding off a ruddy runway :D

[mujtaba104]

how do you put on the brakes

[Mazza4Azza]

@mujtaba104

You hold , and . at the same time.

[atiq2195]

what a terriable landing, check that thing bounce. even i could do better

[Mazza4Azza]

@atiq2195

Yes, it was dreadful. Bear in mind, this was recorded and uploaded more than a year ago; I have definitely improved on this (mostly on FSX).

[F4TALx40]

i did this with gear on and it was perfectley even and it said i crashed???

[zlyable]

@F4TALx40 Use SR22, Open your flaps 100%

[tamtammr]

buy ms flight sim ...

[Mazza4Azza]

@tamtammr

I have got FSX and it's really great This was just an example to show users what it's about :)

[tamtammr]

@Mazza4Azza ahh ok ^^

[harryownjack]

idk why but mine doesnt show you what plane u choose and the airport

[AbideMs]

Not on line and u bounced once Nice landing anyways

[ColeChannel]

@AbideMs sr 22 is bad about bouncing and if u use google earth u realize that because there is not electronics to line the plane up it is usually very hard.

[jay3314612]

tip for a good landing i did it having flaps full when touching down makes it harder to pull up before you land at 30 ft reduce them to 75 or 50 it brings the nose up causing you to land back wheels first

[magmablood2]

How come you didn't have the landing gear out?

[Mazza4Azza]

@magmablood2

I did have my landing gears down, or did I not?

[magmablood2]

@Mazza4Azza It didn't show gear at the side

[Mazza4Azza]

@magmablood2

That's odd. I was able to taxi. Maybe it's because the landing gear of the Sirrus SR22 remains down because they are attached to the fuselage. Like a Cessna for example.

[MRARROYOonutube]

@Mazza4Azza Sorry to go into your conversation, but wouldnt it say gear the whole time if it never retracts?

[Mazza4Azza]

@MRARROYOonutube

No problem.

I just opened up Google Earth and went into flight mode on the Sirrus. There is no sign of 'gear' - even when I press G, the gear sign does not show. On the other hand, The F16 does show 'gear' and it disappears when you press G.

[vibraphonics]

@Mazza4Azza The gear is constantly on on the light aircraft.

[ColeChannel]

@magmablood2 f 16 has retractable gear sr 22 is attached to fuselage

[magmablood2]

@florentlondon I new that for a while now.

[Mazza4Azza]

@Chriisify

Hey :-) It's alright! Summer has arrived here in the UK but not showing it, haha. How are you?

[florentlondon]

@Mazza4Azza

your from the uk kool im going to be videoing how i land why dont you check it out later

[Mazza4Azza]

@TheJonesyboii

Sure you can! 

[asharwin930]

do u kno how to txi cuz u were off the landing after u touched down?

[Mazza4Azza]

@asharwin930

To taxi left using the rudder, it's Shift + Left Arrow. To taxi right, it's Shift + Right Arrow

[CubesForAKid]

Much too fast on the landing. You should be very low, (like 20 ft or so) you should be able to tilt the nose up and still drop safely. That's how slow.

[ikcti]

Every time I land with a SR22 I bounce a lot, but with an F16 my landings are perfect lol.

[Mazza4Azza]

@ikcti

Really? Same here! Maybe I could of uploaded a video of me landing an F-16 instead, haha.

[Enriquejose211]

Bad Landing, you need reduce the speed when use the complete flaps, but never give up, tried again and in some days you´ll the best pilot in the landing´s, have great day

[Mazza4Azza]

@Enriquejose211

Thanks :-) It is pretty hard using the keyboard to 'fly' on Google Earth. I now have a joystick, but I use that for other simulations instead.

[999michiel]

tis isn't a good landing.

your Approach speed is to high.

and your speed also,the max speed for a good and perfect landing is 90km/h.

but if you practice you will be able.

[Mazza4Azza]

@999michiel

Thanks for your help but I didnt say it was a good landing :-)

[Thys93]

@999michiel oh yeah i totally agree on that...GEEK SQUAD!!

[Mazza4Azza]

@Thys93

Hey... knowing your maths doesn't mean you're a geek!

[nashdp]

Approach speed was way too fast; put in more flaps earlier. Final approach speed in the Cirrus should be about 80 knots when using full flaps.

Google earth flight simulator doesn't simulate ground effect, so your roundout, flare, and touchdown will never be realistic.

[hallo54521]

100% flaps if you do then you land on the front wheel and bounce every time try 40% flaps

[Mazza4Azza]

Thanks buddy

[LJOD522]

no offense try a f16 and dont bounce on landing it wasnt perfect but okay for a beginer. BTW you stop slower with no flaps dont know why but it is.

[Mazza4Azza]

You will be, dont worry

[Mazza4Azza]

No problem :-)

[Mazza4Azza]

Yeah I have some

If you have a good approach, good speed and a good altitude, your guaranteed to have a good landing, also tilt the nose up slightly just before touchdown, if you dont know when, just look at your altitude bar to the right. Tilt your nose up at about 20ft :)

[Mazza4Azza]

Oh thats ok, sorry for that.

[Mazza4Azza]

Is that sarcasm?

[Mazza4Azza]

Wow, thanks buddy!

I have to admit, it was a bouncy one :)

Thanks for the 5 stars

[antiochspeedway1]

haha you bounced when you hit the ground my freind can do it with no bouncing

[Mazza4Azza]

So can I, this happened to be a one off. If you have nothing nice to say, dont say anything atall. By the looks of it, you was probably told that at the age of 5 by your attitude. Good day.

[acciotim]

never mind! i think i got it from the url in the video.. fraps

[Mazza4Azza]

Yeah it is Fraps :)

[acciotim]

hi, i was wondering if you could share which program you used to capture the screen video? thanks =)

[Mazza4Azza]

@cpfc543

Thankyou very much. I will keep practicing and keep my nose up at landing, thanks for the 5 stars :)
