I just cut back on the throttle, put the flaps down and use the break when landing on a runway. In the water the water will help slow you down.

The Nav1 audio should beep when you turn it on and get within range of the N1 frequency. If it does not it might be a glitch in the software which MSFS will get around to fixing on updates.

@@IFRSKIES ok. do your longitude beeps beeps or not?

Yes, it does send out the morse code signal when in range of the ILS frequency coming from the airport runway. You have to turn on DME1 to pick up the signal. You can find it by pressing Ctrl and 6 on keyboard to get the screen to the left of pilot's seat. Select Audio Radios and scroll down to find DME1 and turn it on. You will then receive the signal when you are in range.

@@IFRSKIES DME1 together with NAV1 button u mean? i don't get you sorry.

I’ve only been playing MSFS for a few months now and I have become highly addicted to it. I will most likely never become a pilot or own a private jet however this flight sim is the next best thing. I’ve been slowly learning the instruments through trial and error and have stumbled my way to decently control the CJ4. Your tutorial was a great help and I’m excited to implement some of your techniques. Keep Posting so I can keep dreaming. Thank you captain for a wonderful flight.

This could just be a bug that needs to be fixed. It really should hold the set altitude once it reaches the setting if the autopilot is on. Maybe the V-speed is not shutting off like it should when the altitude is reached.

Thanks for the comment, Rusty. Yes, I have taken your advice and adjusted the sound settings on newer videos.

Look at the Heading Indicator dial on the cockpit dashboard (aircraft image) on either side of the Heading Indicator there are two dials on the right side is the heading bug dial. Set that dial to the heading you want. The head bug will move on the heading indicator as you turn the dial. When you have the autopilot turned on you turn on the heading mode button and it will follow the heading you have set using the heading bug dial.

@@IFRSKIES but do you mean looking cokpit from inside o virtual instrument from outside?

@@uischirock You set the heading mode on using the button on the autopilot panel. Then on the instrument panel in front of the yoke you see a heading indicator (it has an aircraft image on it) This is where you set your compass heading and heading bug using the small round dials below and on either side. The autopilot when turned on will follow the heading bug setting if you turn on heading mode button.

Go to Marketplace in MSFS. Search under aircraft for DC3 Enhanced or DC3 Retrofit. If it is there try to download. If it is not there then maybe it is no longer available as a free download. Not sure why heading bug is not working.

Glad you liked it.

glad you liked it

I can be downloaded free from the MSFS Marketplace. Go to Marketplace - Content Manager - search for DC3- ENHANCED and download.

You are welcome. I enjoy doing the videos.

On some of the aircraft in MSFS they give a complete set of checklists from preflight to shutdown. On other aircraft they just give three or four checklists up to starting the engine and that is all they provide. You can google the aircraft for checklists to get a complete set of checklists for the aircraft you are flying.

Oooops! At least you can tell I'm paying attention to the video BUT NOT the heading labels! You state to use GPS in this version! But, I also didn't find the screen where you entered in radio detail. Any thoughts?

You need to get split screen on the Primary Flight Display then Flight Plan then Nav and you will be able to check the Nav frequency or enter and hit Transfer to enter your actiive frequency. @@effectspedals

Thanks for the comment. The King Air is a great aircraft in MSFS to fly.

Wonderful sense of humor. Make sure you get the band to the concert. I have tickets.

@@IFRSKIES I got them there, but I learned a valuable lesson when selecting a runway to land at. Make sure it's long enough to stop. lol

I think you are correct. Probably the ground handler got hit by the prop which will require a full investigation.😨

Thanks for your comments. I like having the heads up (HUD) exterior display on which can be done in Options Assistance. That way I can enjoy some scenery an monitor the flight instruments while outside the aircraft. Enjoy flying the friendly sky's in MSFS.

Thanks for the comment.

Thanks for the comment. One of my favorite things about MSFS is how well it does real time real weather conditions. Enjoy.

You are welcome. Thanks for your comment.

If your altitude is too high, you will fly above the GS and approach mode will not be intercepted. If you do not have the correct frequency set for the runway the approach mode will not work.

@@IFRSKIES thank you, that makes sense.

Thanks.

Ketsa, thank you for your comment. I have a better mic now so I'm going to redo a video on this aircraft with hopefully better sound quality.

After much googling and playing around I found the problem was I was selecting nav too far from the line. You need to be right on it to guarantee it will work.

For the camera you can try to use the camera panel on top, then it should have set camera prefixes, atleast on pc, maybe you can get a good view of the Garmin from there

Once you get within range of the LOC1 (it will usually switch from GPS to LOC1 on it own) then you can hit approach mode and when you intercept the glideslope (GS) at the correct altitude the aircraft will begin the decent to the runway on the GS.

Success,I just made my first landing on autopilot . I do not use an external flight route planner So it was difficult to see which airport has ils or not. But the VFR map (under the V button on your keyboard) provides all the necessary information when you search for your destination. There you can see whether an airport has ILS or not. Thank you for your help, I will practice this more often so that I never forget it again, without your help I would never have succeeded.

@@Orion-hx9ig, thanks for sharing that information with us Orion.

When the Primary Flight Display changes from GPS to LOC 1(this happens when you are at the correct altitude on approach and close enough to pick up the localizer signal) you can then press the Approach Mode button. Watch as the green triangle comes down to the center of the altitude scale and then GS turns green (you will start to descend). If you are too high the green triangle will be below center and you will have to descend in order to pick it up. If the green triangle is above center it will come down as you enter the ILS feather and intercept the glide slope.

Not that I am aware of. Often when you load a flight plan MSFS will auto load the correct runway frequency in active or standby mode for you on many of the aircraft. I always double check using little Navmap, Skyvector, flightplandatabase or other sources if you google.

Yes there is, you can click the screen and select the flight plan there. Check out this video ua-cam.com/video/gPeUjfg-S98/v-deo.html

Me too! glad you liked it.

I'm not really sure why that happened. It could be a little glitch on this flight. Normally if you do not activate approach mode it will fly through the glide slope and not pick it up in MSFS. So you should hit the approach mode button when you are close on on LOC1. If you are at too high an altitude on approach it will fly above the glide slope and not pick it up.
