Let's Play Flight Simulator X (Flight 1) 2: Climbing, Crusing, Annoyance

We climb to our cruise altitude, nicely use time compression, and get bitched at by ATC.

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.

[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.

[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)

@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.

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

@vxgt1613 carn yuo sjpel?

[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.

[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.

[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

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.
