XP12 E170 flying in Chile, just the Star/landing at SCDA. AO,SimHeaven, Global Forests.
This is a bit off the cuff video, part normal yet sections of ASMR due to my apt being upgraded before I move, I know sucks but is what it is. This flight is part of a recreation of a Zibo flight I did a month or two ago,, however this time I used the E170 to recreate it.

    The yaw is on point for flight physics to real world, so long as plane dev did airfoils properly. What makes it too sensitive, is a combination of your rudder pedal curves and lack of proper resistance, thus, leading to over controlling

    I remember trying Xplane 12 when it first came out and I wanted a sim that supported heli's and VR before FS2020 did either. I just couldn't get past how bad the Vancouver area looked though and ended up refunding it and going to DCS for my VR heli flying. Now that I've gotten used to FS2020 and 2024 Xplane seems worse by comparison. Hope they go with higher res satellite textures and more 3D buildings in the next version. As for the panel lights, if it's the same as the one in FS2024, I think they're at the bottom of the panel under the VSI. I do like the black panel on this one better than the white one in the FS2024 model.

    • @Dave_McKee
      @Dave_McKee 2 дні тому

      I understand the frustration with how the Vancouver area looked when it first came out, I think the scenery has improved in this version but there is still room for improvement. TBH even in FS2020 when I flew it I was not impressed with Vancouver in it, and I live close to Vancouver, required 3rd party SamScene 3D to make it somewhat nice. Another thing to keep in mind, in thios video I had live weather turned off, and my ortho if I recall and did not have Global Forests v2.2. That said all in all IMHO no sim ever gets Vancouver looking good, yet always has bad framerates which never made sence to me. Thanks for your comment and checking out the video, keep the blue side up!

The only issue I had was lack of Ice protection on the wings, but then it really doesn't have any wing protection, only a De-Ice on the Prop and a Defroster which did not work for me. Its time to give her another spin as the G58 if I have it in the sim, I think I do.

    I spoke with the author and we have both come to the conclusion the airport is fine and is a issue with the FF XRASS built-in system.

    Absolutely stunning Dave. Cindy watched it with me. She thought the woman in this plane looked better than the FS20 copilot i fly with. What memories this plane brings back. But tjis version has upgrades i dont recall such as the speedbrakes and anmore powerful engine. I struggled to get up over the Andes in Peru but i tjonk you could nail it in this plane except for the lack of oxygen for the engine. It just takes longer to climb up to 15,000. You sound like me a bit. I bought a lot of Black Friday specials for DaVinci Resolve but haven't had time to check them out. This certainly looks like Norway. This would be the perfect plane to chase the Railcow Girl from Bergen to Oslo or in reverse. Happy USA Thanksgiving Holiday and Cyber Monday.

      Glad you and Cindy enjoyed the video, the plane is indeed much more powerful and a joy to fly, so far. While it could be done mirroring her route not sure how easy it would be, given the railway may not appear below etc. I also have no desire to create a flightplan with 100 waypoints and turns etc to wander the valleys. You will at some point have to settle for a airliner flight into Oslo as a small bird like this just is out of place, the andes though hmmmmmmmmmmm. I may just have to look into the manual more as for what is maximum sustained cruise Altitude, the plane has a Oxygen system.

As I have a headset on it is always hard to know if the sounds are right since my output for them is thru speakers. This is because when I fly on vatsim I need to be able to hear ATC in my headset without loud engine sounds or me talking in them.

I'm glad you are liking it and thanks for the shout outs. We need to see how to get you into that Reality 750 GTN. Who knows...

    • @Dave_McKee
      @Dave_McKee Місяць тому

      Yes the livery is a bit of a departure for me for sure and the winds were a nightmare coming off the mountain down the side. Not going to say I would never use the 750 as I am very comfortable (most times LOL) with a gns 530, reading about the 750 seems it can be a bugger to get it into a plane. Supposedly it is not as simple as the PMS 750 is make it active in a planes panel, not having ever owned it no idea if it is true. The shoutouts were most warranted for all the support you have shown the channel over the years, keep the blue side up!

    Well, the Shark got a showcase Dave. She is a pretty plane with a strange AP system in the middle console. I looked at it closely as you flew and saw several buttons on it I do not see on other systems I'm familiar with such as Track and CRSE which I take it to mean Course. What I did not see was APPR - Approach but it did have VNAV. Maybe the Approach is automatic once it is set in the G530 but then maybe not. It would probably require more reading, research or watching other Shark fliers. I was not too crazy about the slow speed and you know I'm a GA flier, but that was excessively slow. Something tells me that Zara Rutherford's parents (both pilots) had a hand in selecting this plane for her Solo flight around the world. They were sending their only daughter up and wanted safety over all other concerns. They didn't want her to fly into any clouds as I don't think it has any deicing in it. Not being able to put down the flaps or gear until you speed or altitude were withing guidelines probably played a factor too. but mostly I think the parachute was the final item that guided them into this plane. So it met a lot of their criteria. I am vaguely familiar with your staring point of Medford, OR and finishing point of Eureka Redwood, CA. I have been to both of them but have not traversed the ground in between. I made a note to create a flight plan for myself and check it out. I spent the night in the back of a pickup truck on a mattress under the redwood trees just north of Eureka on my way down to San Francisco to shoot the bridge and then Kodak lost my rolls of film in the mail. That was a nice airport to showcase. I liked the interior lights in it at night time. Ortho did a great job on the scenery. Just give her some more gas on the way down next time and approach more quickly like Sky King would do and Cowboy yourself down.

    • @Dave_McKee
      @Dave_McKee Місяць тому

      She really is a pretty plane, as for the systems just going to have to read up more on them. The slow landing and approach speeds are really going to take me a long time to get used too, not used to them at all. Also I see it does have a min speed for retracting the gear etc, that is going to take getting used too as well. However I enjoy flying the Shark and the views out of it ar just awesome, which can't be understated for situational awareness. Thanks again to both of you for the generous support over the years, the last 2 videos could not have been made, with out it, Keep the Blue side up!!

      Maybe they were working on a shoestring budget and just slapped all the footage together sort of hodgepodge. I've compiled a timeliness of about an hour of our testing of the three cameras. I color corrected them last night. I have one more batch outside to collect. Then I'll render it uo as a private UA-cam video so we can watch and compare on our big screen. Then it's decision making time. It will be nice to get this behind us.

    Hmm, the landing looked good to me, but maybe there was a hard strike which killed the engines. Otherwise the trees looked very good. The coloring is about what we have here right now.

      Yes I have Mal not flown it in about a year, lost a ssd to failure and had to make a choice what sim to install, and no I have no plans to be buying FS2024 in the near future. Not saying it won't be good but other then being pretty I have seen nothing so far that FS2020 did not do that interests me, carrear modes and rescue stuff just holds no interest for me. Not saying I will never fly MSFS at some point in the future but for now I am happy in the sim I have flown for years before FS2020 was even a thing. Hope all is well with you and yours and of course keep the blue side up, YNWA!

    That was a beautiful flight Dave. I like the concept of the last so many minutes into your approach. I'll keep that in mind on my videos sometime. But not right now, no one is watching the FS20 version of the Sim when Alpha FS 24 was running. All eyes are fixed on the new, not the old. That is quite an amazing plane with as you say - being a freebie. It was also nice of you to help some friends shut down their cabin. It is quite a job and I'm sure they enjoyed your company to properly end the season. Good Job!

As for FS 24 Alpha I watched almost nothing about it as I have no real interest in it, I hope people remember what the launch of 2020 was like. It was pretty dang buggy for the first year+ before they got smart and reached out to some of the freeware mod teams. I was happy to help him out as I do love to go camping, though we did have a cabin so not exactly camping but the nature is stunning, keep the blue side up!

    Remember when XP didn't feel like it was on rails? Now XP just feels static once airborne. Compare that now with the Blackbird Beaver in MSFS and you can see the plane bouncing around a bit with wind buffetting and air pockets, etc. Just "feels" more alive. I wish we could get the fluid dynamics with the weather/atmosphere system of MSFS. Thanks for posting. :-)

    • @Dave_McKee
      @Dave_McKee 2 місяці тому

      XP does not feel like it is on rails, as I mentioned during the video i was not using live weather. I also had the AP engaged and using heading hold etc so hence it appeareed so stable. It is far different bird if i had turned all that off and Xenviro on. One thing i do wish was the skies were alive with traffic without having to buy a addon to do that, it's something that they need to build-in.

      Good question! hard to answer really as this aircraft is being done from scratch for XP12 and is in ALPHA, some earlier ones from them I think were simply made XP12 flyable. I really have a blast in this one but for some it's a no-go not having VNAV, and CPDLC, etc etc, I however dont miss them at present. That is not to say I don't look forward to when they are included which I anticipate will be sooner rather then later.

I have a more full flight video uploading in the latest version of XP12 and the aircraft now the NDA is lifted, hope you enjoyt it also as its your ballpark 2hr's almost lol
