Brake pressure via #2 ( Utility)

Im an ex-Piedmont / US AIR tech. I'll never forget when we first got this aircraft...than performed Avionics/Electrical mods. Loved working on them! But the PIT POOP HEADS got rid of them long before they needed to go!

gust locks come off just before takeoff also cowl flaps go to 3 deg just before takeoff and should never be anything other than open on the ground unless rolling out for takeoff.

Teterboro NY? I got my PPL there 25 years ago (KTEB). Back then it was in NJ and had a flight school or two. Boy have things changed 🤣

Teterboro is in New Jersey

Thanks for the check ride. I just purchased this craft, and am still trying to learn all of it's ins, and outs. It really is challenging to fly.

I believe you missed turning the Oxygen Handle on possibly giving you the warning. Early in the check list. 😊

You didn’t check the stall indicator tab on the pilot wing. Good video.

I love this aircraft, even after the Comanche. Everything you need is right in front of you, the six pack, engine instruments. Carenado did a great job.

This plane just has an awesome rawness that all the other sterile planes seems to lack. My former fav was the 310R and it feels like a MS stock plane after flying this bird. I hope A2A makes a twin Comanche soon.

I always thought it was slightly embarrassing and weird to talk to ATC. But then I got married and had kids and now it’s actually embarrassing talking like this to a monitor. Wife thinks I’m crazy I’m pretty sure

This is a PC review? The stuttering gives it away.

Not sure if you are still following this as it is kind of old, but I was curious about something. You say these used to be more common in the US. I was wondering what they have been replaced with.

$2 mil per year just to run this baby. Jesus christ, more expensive than a brand new Phenom 300E

I can taste the Fisherman's Grotto clam chowder in my mind as you flew over them. I wonder if there was a way to get the Comanche engine sounds into this bird? They would be twice as good, lol.

I hope you have tried the A2A Piper Comanche 250 since you made this.

I have a lot to learn with this aircraft on the NM dial far left there is no reading how do I get the reading turned on?

The 310 and 414 are very good, although I see that there is a lot of difference between the two in the flight model. The 310 is much more nervous, I don't know if this is the case in reality...

My go-to aircraft in MSFS2020. A real joy to fly.

Warning: if you use the TDS GTN 750... ! He can't get it to do approaches. Show me an ILS approach if it's so great... with the TDS GTN 750. I get a Loc OR a GS capture... never both. Terrible coding. Basic 2 axis autopilot. Change the lateral mode, and it drops out of the sky. My TDS GTN works perfectly with every other addon.

Well Flown

Don't mention cockpit textures in the forums...they get very defensive but the textures are pretty average...good plane tho, my favorite :) ..

My Father accumulated 2, 291 Flight hours is this airplane. Minus the GPS display. From 1985 - 1992. He flew N135LJ for a private charter service. Needle, ball, airspeed was a mantra he held as PIC in this airplane. His copilot retired Eagle Aviation, KCRW. I have a CAD drawing display layout of the Gates 35a on my wall behind me. Im glad the simulator is giving this plane the respect it deserves.

The learjet is my go to private Jet is son fun to fly, you have to constantly monitor it and plan ahead, I have started to get bored of flying LNAV VNAV, I am starting to prefer flying with steam gauges than a G3000 of the other corpotate jets

I liked your video. I have been holding back for awhile on a corporate jet model but I think you've sold me on this one. As you said its a good balance and the systems and flight dynamics seems to be fairly realistic. Thanks again!

Excellent on Xbox as well with the GTN750. Quickly became my favorite PJ

Ha ha Men with suspenders laughed at that, in UK/EU that is ladies underwear stockings etc, but I know what we called here 'braces' US call 'suspenders' - made me smile though. I got the learjet 35A it's nice, tricky to get altitudes/speed correct with no auto throttle, but with some practice, as you say it nice to practice/use. I still hoping for new PC/GPU as I struggle for FPS with my old tech which spoils my enjoyment atm. Great flight -👌 that's a tricky hard manual approach - I know i'd mess that up lol P.S. If you're only recording for YTyou could try recording in a much higher bitrate, when you upload to youtube it won't be so fuzzy when moving & keep a HD look btw. Of course takes much longer to upload I think I was using 70,000 bitrate for my old 2k YT recordings stuff.

So after selecting passengers they do not appear in the cabin. What am I missing or are they just not a feature of this plane?

Excellent Video, just getting used to the Flysimware C414 and this one is next. Way more piloting needed compared to my many hours spent in the Honda HA420 and looking forward to it.👍

just bought it yesterday , looks good

Can you walk around like this in the Xbox? How do you add the covers and safety lanyards?

Enjoyed your flight, but your RPM was in the red for almost the whole time. If you have realistic mode turned on you would damage your engine. This is fun to try out. I blew up an engine by not paying attention to RPM. This mod is fantastic. I had been jumping in and out of much bigger planes and not flying well. Going back to this plane forced me to focus on flying properly. Love it.

Both my PFD's are slaved to each other, meaning I push a button in one and the other does the same thing, like if I push map in the left one the right one goes to map too, and then if I push flight plan in one the other one goes to flight plan, and in split screen mode only the left panel on the PFD will change to reflect what I entered. How do you get each one to work separately to use both panels, I tried and played around and cannot seem to find the button to change this.

Good video. I'm just a fellow simmer with a ton of time in the Comanche and some knowledge I've gained mostly from the A2A forums. A few hints from me, for those who want to operate the Comanche like a real Comanche pilot would: 1. When you're removing the pitot heat cover, don't forget to flip the stall warning thing that's located on the left wing. If it's stuck for whatever reason and doesn't move, you won't get the stall warning in the cockpit. 2. Recommended oil level is not 12 but around 9 gallons (?). 12 might lead to some spills, at least in the real one. 3. When starting the engine, it's best to keep rpm at around 1000. 1400-1500 immediately after start up might be too much. 4. The reason you're supposed to do 3 prop cycles is because the first time you look for the rpm to drop and the manifold pressure to rise, the second time you make sure oil pressure drops and then goes back up, and the third cycle you look out the window to look for any oil splashing from under the hood. 5. You also flip the pitot heat on/off during the run up and verify that the amps needle moves a bit. 6. After you're done with cycling the prop, reduce power to idle and keep the engine there for a few seconds. This is a great way to tell if everything is fine with the engine, just by listening to it at idle. 7. With some cylinders this hot even before take off, on a hot day, you definitely don't wanna climb out at 100 mph. 120 is recommended for better cooling. 8. Always tap the brakes before retracting the gear. Not sure if you did, just saying for those you aren't aware of this. 9. Fuel pump should go off at around 1000 AGL I believe. 10. 24 manifold on the climbout, not 25. Show some love for those poor, hot cylinders ;) 11. You were waaay too fast on approach and short final. A light Comanche is happy at no more than 85 mph over the fence. 12. It's a good habit to retract flaps immediately after touch down to kill off any excess lift and help with braking. Those manual flaps on the Comanche move almost instantly. Especially useful on shorter runways. 13. Avionics need to be off before shutting down the engine. Cheers!

Have they changed the avionics? My options on the bottom panels seem very different and I can't find the VAMS anywhere in the menus

Great video thanks you

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Nice night. The aircraft is great fun to fly. Love the spoilers, they add a dimension you don't get in other GA a/c. Thanks for the fine presentation!

Don't you need to reduce the mixture lever during taxi so that you don't fowl the plugs?

Nice video. This is much nicer than the one from Tandra for X plane 12 and also cheaper! I'm really starting to consider switching to MSFS, but the new version!

Nice video but if it would be real, you would have had an engine loss. The ITT-Limit of this PT6 is 760°C. You reached 830°C. Until about FL100 you torque your engine out at about 36-37 PSI. Above FL100 you need to reduce thrust constantly to temp it out at about 750°C. Otherwise it will be a super expensive flight.

This is a GREAT GA airplane. 150 knots at 10.5 gph or 185 knots at 16.0 gph. The IO 550 in the Ovation at 280 hp is hardly breathing. Speedbrakes. TKS for known icing. And fast enough to travel with. Very strong and stable. Great looking. I own one.

Cloudy San Diego. Must be a system glitch.

Speys aren't turbojets, neither are JT8Ds from the 727 and 737. These are turbofans, just low bypass one, where most of the thrust comes from the jet, not the fan like in modern turbofans. You can easily identify that it's a turbofan because it has HP (N2) and LP (N1) rpm gauges, whereas a turbojet, like JT3D or Turbomeca Marbore, has only one spool and only one RPM gauge

How did you turn on the avionics?

Would love to see more of these with the Turbo Arrow IV. But focused more on power RPM and Manifold. Can I know a bit more about your setup? Thank you!

I kinda like how much the flight computer does for you, although it takes a lot of fun out of flying. Although in the real world, I'd imagine that having so much automation would significantly improve safety.

I have the BAE 146 from JF and I’m just getting to grips with it. Needs constant care and attention to manage the speed (so, so different to the Airbus 320!) I enjoyed your video and can see a lot of similarities so I might just get the F28 when I’ve mastered the BAE. I’m of an age that I’ve actually flown in both aircraft and preferred the F28 (mainly KLM) as a passenger to the BAE 146 (Aer Lingus). Once again, great video presentation- thank you very much.

I’ve just started in MSFS, finishing the first three flight school sections, but wanted to fly around my home town. I found the otter to be extremely newbie friendly, and I flew out from Wellington airport out to the lagoon on Kapiti Island. Made a nice easy touchdown on the water and taxied up to the beach. But after shutting down the engine couldn’t restart, so will now use what you showed here. Great video.

How do I do a VNAV descent in this plane?
