I love IndiaFoxtEcho. They really put passion and effort in their work
Agreed!
I just got the F35 that they’ve done and I absolutely love the detail they put into it.
@@daveawesomesauce772 That's just one Guy, Dino Cattaneo!
Got this plane yesterday, really love it. it has few bugs mostly switches which are easy fixes and this plane has massive potential to be even better. Thx for videos is interesting to watch.
Glad to hear! Are you using VR?
@@cgaviator no I don’t use VR. Maybe the switches are inop or click locations are off. External light intensity and hud brightness are only ones that matter.
I read manual again but played DCS for many years so would like think could operate a few switches. Keep up the vids they are informative and enjoyable.
This is a definite purchase for me, and you've highlighted the jet really well. Very easy startup (must remember to turn APU off though, unlike F/A-18). First flight will be in New Zealand, Ohakea Air Base through the Tararuas to Wellington. Then on to South Island and Kaikoura (hello whales off the coast), in to hot pools at Hanmer Springs, down the east side of the Southern Alps then in to the glacial lake and astronomical observatory atTekapo, inland route to Wanaka and land at Queenstown. I'm not sure the ferry range on this thing when nap-of-the-earth but I intend to find out. If there's any JP5 left then over to the spectacular Milford Sound and back to Queenstown for beer and roast lamb and kumara. Many years ago as a starting pilot chatting to an RNZAF A-4 strike pilot he said he liked to cross ridgelines at 12 feet, especially if there were trampers (trekkers) nearby. That goes on the simulated TODO list too :) One camera angle you may like to try Chris is near the tail looking obliquely past the nose toward the ground - to me this gives the best impression of groundspeed, it works in DCS and hopefully may give a nice short clip in MSFS.
Thanks, may try that also! Love the Queenstown area.
I feel like I could be sitting in the back seat and hearing your voice through the headset! Brilliant video, you've earned a new subscriber.
Thanks, appreciate it! Gives me an idea for a video lol!
@@cgaviator would love to see it!
Another good video. Looks like they're making a must-have plane.
Excellent video, I really do like the look of this jet havnt seen your last tutorial yet so will catch up this morning. Was at the Mac Loop the other week in real world awsome noise as f15 went through. My little 7 year old needed her ear defenders good tip for anyone taking small children up there 😎👍keep up the content Chris 👏
I need to take a drive to the Loop. Not seen it from the other viewpoint!
The most underrated mil jet on the marketplace. The checklist is over the top detailed. The MFDs are top notch, and hopefully they continue to add the missing features they mention in the user manual.
When it comes to what I buy it all about the cockpit. Don’t care if it’s a brick on the outside. If everything mostly works inside and mimics the real like thing. It’s good to me.
It’s my go to mil jet. Because of the way it functions inside. Easy enough to understand. And I can activate a few failures if I want to play.
Also worth noting as far as I’m aware, one of the only planes of Marketplace with sidewinders.. I mean smokewinders.. that can be equipped with correct weights and activated with a external light.
Nothing I’ve hated for months it’s been a amazing lil bird. Even took a road trip (yes on road) in Italy with it. (sight seeing)
Agreed! Excellent jet and a joy to operate, not just fly 👍🏻
Awesome again and first flight for me was Southampton to raf valley just to see how fast she really is. Definitely got a speeding ticket for that one. Auto pilot most of it and then drop down for the valleys.
Can't work out how to program the route in the computers but I'm sure it's in a manual somewhere.
You can't program it in the aircraft, you have to create it via little nav map or other flightplan software compatible with msfs. You can check cgaviator.co.uk for some routes. www.cgaviator.co.uk/navigation/gps-routes/
Your videos are fantastic, and what a great little aircraft 👍🏻
Thank you, really appreciate it!
Great little Jet, looking forward to it. And another really enjoyable video, thanks! Would have liked to see you recover to Valley at the end though, particularly in that weather!
True, though given the weather on takeoff, I’m not even sure it’s possible! 🤦🏼♂️
Very nice, modern jet aircraft .Love it.
Great video. Really impressed with the early access quality.
It’s going to be one of the greats!
Awesome Thank you man I learned some stuff Thank you for the invite 🙌🏻
Superb video as always, I will be getting this as it really seems to tick all the boxes for me, the TB-30 was such a great step up this seems like a great next step. First sortie will be a shakedown flight, probably from Cranwell, through the peak district and the Derwent valley back to either East Midlands or I may brave the weather and head to Valley.
Derwent Valley, good choice!
Another fantastic video. Many Thanks!
Thanks for saying, much appreciated!
I picked this aircraft up. It's very well done, IMHO. This video, and others you've made really helped me get started. My first flight was right here, but I got lost part way through the Mach Loop because I am unfamiliar with exactly where to go. I'll figure it out. Then, off to my home country, CYMJ specifically, an air force base where it's nice and flat, to practice landing and figure out the systems. That way I could avoid flying into a hill while I fiddled with the MFDs. I'd say this is one of the best third party aircraft that I have picked up, not that I have many.
After that I will really start flying! I'll take her through the Rockies at low level near Banff Alberta, closer to where I live.
Excellent!
That's a sweet looking little jet.
Excellent video as always
Thank you 🙏🏻
CGaviator you are my ACE, very nice video. always learn from you, very much appreciate, I hope you will create a full tutorial, for this M346 including navigation, Thanks Dylan
Thank you kindly! When I have time I’ll certainly do more videos
This jet looks really stunning and has a lot of cool features. Putting it on my wish list. Since I'm Swedish I'll take it for a sortie where I live, just outside Stockholm. Probably take off from Arlanda and land at Bromma.
Nice!
Very enjoyable video, thanks a lot! Pretty sure I‘ll get this aircraft once it comes out. And to answer your question: my first flight will also be the Mach loop - one of the really cool places to fly fast jets!
Good choice! And thank you 👍🏻
Nice video! I'm flyin this beauty from her home base LIBN Lecce Galatina,in south Italy.
I really like the Master
Awesome choice, I need to fly Italy more
Please do some more of these military low level sorties. They’re invaluable 👌🏻
Yeah, it’s great thinking on my feet. I need to carve some time out for more videos
I’ve jumped back into this jet, it’s great fun. Hopefully we get the hawk on Xbox next month. Been a long wait 😅
@@Wilber913 a very long wait!!
@@cgaviator I expect you back when a tornado lands mate 👌🏻 take it easy
Great video, thank you!!!
Thank you, much appreciated!
Looks beautiful. Those low level aborts can be mind bending for real. I remember thinking I was inverted when I done one for real just north of Bala (I was in the rear and not flying thankfully 🥵)
Hawk pax ride? They can be sporty, especially if over rotating to get the nose down again
@@cgaviator yeh with 19 Sqn.
WX was crap with the Loop barley doable (well the guy up front was ex-Jag and I reckon he was either reading roadsigns or flying on memory 🤣). He called no joy north of Bala and up we went. I’m not sure whether it was Coriolis effect or we done an Immelaman but I was convinced we were inverted for a time. Must look back at the HUD tape.
That scenario played out much differently a few years later when my old mob lost an aircraft for that very reason in the same circumstances 😔.
@@Machlooper yup, it is a risky manoeuvre, needs lots of practice
That’s a great looking little jet! Mach Loop is the standard test route :)
Absolutely!
Got the A/c today. First flight from Venegono LILN. The aircraft is manufactured there by Leonardo. I was working there this week.
Oh sweet, you working on this jet?
@@cgaviator Yes. Working on long term maintenance planning.
@@Wingineer awesome! Ever a chance to thumb a ride!? 😳
I mean for you working there of course lol
@@cgaviator I wish. I’m just an aircraft structures engineer, and tbh, wouldn’t pass the medical 🤣. Closest I’ve got was when I was working at Valley, and a friend of the boss got me into the BAE Hawk simulator which was super cool.
I've bought it and the game is loading at the moment, can't wait to fly it ! My first destination will be the airport on the island of Kalymnos that I always visit.
How was it?
@@cgaviator pretty good, but the plane has a very strange behavior on the last 100 feet before landing, especially with flaps open. Made me crash several times, sometimes it would simply flip over
That rainy opening was sick! Your cinematics are always on poin!
Edit : actually this airplane's rear reminds me of the su 25👌🏻
Yup, it looks close enough 👍
But this Italian lead-in fighter trainerJet is developed from Russian's Yakovlev Yak-130 Mitten
So it basically looks the same, and both are good trainer 🤙
@@tac-cobserver3788 Thanks for the info! Did not know that!
@@blackfalco33 Anytime time buddy ✌
SoFly Weather Preset: Spring Showers 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
@@cgaviator love it!
It feels so light , it sinks on the ground on landings and take off , just like the Twin Otter ! 🙈
Never noticed that, I fly in cockpit so guess I wouldn’t notice any sinkage. It’s had an update recently so maybe sorted. But they are very receptive to feedback
Flying out of goose bay in this is really fun. Miles of tundra
Excellent!
@@cgaviator attacked a costal airfield. Was so immersive
@@Wilber913 awesome! Low level lay down, loft attack, medium level standoff?
@@cgaviator loft attack. I really like the way this one flies and the HUD feels really good.
I like 540knots as well.
Can’t wait for a tornado to be released
@@Wilber913 me neither!
day 1 purchase for me. first flight will be out of Innsbruck
Good choice!
Where do I fly with the Aermacchi M-346? Well exactly where the plane came from and where it was first tested: Venegono Inferiore airport (LILN). Is a little airport near Malpensa, Italy. Take off and go north and slip through the valleys that flow into the beautiful lakes of northern Italy such as Lake Maggiore, Lake Iseo, Lake Como up to Lake Garda and why not up to Venice! 🤩😍
Great idea!
The weather engine keeps amazing me, beautiful flight! Yesterday I flew into the hurricane over the Dominican Republic. I was amazed the “eye” was there, it looked amazing. I highly recommend to check it out! (And there were lots of F18s around)
That’s a good idea, I’ll take a look!
i flew it over the aegean sea for my first sortie
Nice!
Great info brother we just need you to fly out of the cockpit so we can enjoy the plane dude. Hoping this comes out for Xbox!
I may do a video like that, but I’m more of an ‘in cockpit’ kinda guy! They suggest it will be for Xbox eventually.
@@cgaviator ok brother I can understand that dude. Great commentary man and nice video. Looks like a cool jet!
Love your videos, and thanks, now I have another plane to buy. Just out of interest I remember seeing your video on the hawk machine loop but do you have setting up videos for the planes eg, control sensitivity and that sort of thing? I ask cos I find the hawk always pulls to the left like it has two engines and only one is running. ( I know it's a single before anyone say lol). Many thanks again great vid
Thanks! I don’t use any sensitivities. And the hawk pulling is likely wind effect. It’ll try and turn into wind on takeoff.
The rendering of trees at Cad West is a bit too much compared to real life, but the rest of it seems pretty realistic. The correct pronunciation of the "Mach" in Mach Loop is not Mack but Mach ( as though you're gathering spit at the back of your mouth. The 5k visibility limit is not for bad weather but to allow visual sighting of another aircraft on a reciprocal heading in case of collision. Nice video!
Lol, thanks 😉
How forgiving would you say the plane is for someone learning faster jets, both for aerobatics and just flying/landing? I've mainly done basic GA stuff (BN2 Islander and Cessna 152), besides fun jaunts in the F14 the only other jet I've flown is the Caproni C22J. Thanks for the video!
Sorry for the late reply, have been on holiday. I'd say if you flew the hawk to the numbers then the Hawk is easier to handle and won't bite you in the ass like this one. The MSFS Flybywire dynamics are totally unrealistic and aerobatics are pretty darn tricky unless you nail entry speeds etc. But it's the challenge that makes it fun. But the Hawk wins for aeros!
What does the HNAV do?
Did it follow ILS approach on autopilot?
Can you provide a video mainly focusing on its autopilot system?
Sadly no time at present. Have you checked the manual? Sorry i can’t be more helpful
Great video , what is your PC set up ? And settings for MSFS ?
Settings are mostly high. PC in description.
Thanks for this. How does it land, compared to the Just Flight Hawk T.1? will the the Mach Loop when I get this one. Looking forward to its release.
The hawk needs a major update to dynamics sadly, it’s very twitchy and wobbly. Above 200kt this is actually better and it lands nicely!
@@cgaviator thank you! I agree with you. IndiaFoxtrotEcho’s MB-339 lands well so very much looking forward to the M-346 on that basis.
Can you add custom waypoints/entrr your fpl using the control panel?
I’ve not tried! Wish I had the manual to demonstrate the full capabilities. Just making it up at the moment! 😂 I’ll give it a go
I have this, and love it. I haven't tamed it yet but it IS getting better! I continue to suffer with the HUD, after many years of Select Adjust and Trim, check adjust and Trim, I find the absence of a "bird" in the HUD difficult, the bird disappearing when the gear and flaps are up, and reappearing on the approach. I would wish for the bird to be permanent. I have just watched you Mach 1 Mach loop in the F15 and the bird is there all the time. I am finding that bringing the Standby horizon into the scan helps, but can't help but feel this is not the right way to do it. Yup, massively overpowered - suits the hooligan in all of us.... comment?
One other thing, IRL is the HUD so hard to read in sunlight?
HUDs can be difficult to read, especially facing towards the sun or something bright. Presume you’ve tried adjusting brightness if the option exists? By bird you mean the whisky line disappears! I do find that strange, but it’s workable as the flight path marker tells you when you’re level.
@@cgaviator Thanks, at least I know it's not just me who finds the bright sun/HUD difficult. No, by bird I mean the aeroplans shape "W," the waterline stays intact. I guess just have to get used to flying the Flight Path Vector (At least that's what we called it on The Airbus.) The Flight Path Marker (as you call it) is great when stable, especially Straight and Level, but maneuvering is another matter. You must realise that as a bad workman I am allowed , even required, to blame my tools. I finally tamed the Hawk by flying it like an Airbus i.e. in auto trim, but the 346 behaves completely differently and in any case seems to have a much better trim algorithm. (HUD brightness in the 346 is controlled by a rotary knob on right side of UFD, but not activated.) I just want to add a thankyou for your "tutorial" videos - more than helpful to ham fisted pilots like me!
@@fuzzywun my pleasure! and absolutely... it's always the aircraft that's in the wrong!
Hi , nice to find you on UA-cam ! I am a qualified skydiver , I live and work in the UK , I live to fly , I live to skydive ! Do you know if there is any jet fighter experience in the UK open for public ? Thank you !
Not that I know of I’m afraid
How do you make a flight plan in this aircraft ? Can you do it manually ? Thank you !
You can do it in the world map view. And you can also import plans from 3rd party apps like little nav map etc.
Nice , but I don’t like that scuba diving pipe ! 😂
It can be removed now I believe. Took me a while to figure what you meant lol
using VR or Track IR?
TrackIR
New to the world of sim. can I get this version in the market now?
Sorry, missed this comment. It’s not released. When I said at the beginning it was ‘pre-release’ it means just that. Not yet out. Check their social media for updates on release etc. 👍🏻
Just hit SimMarket and I so bought it today....
Why does it sound like an RC Plane ?
I have to say the sounds are the weaker point. Having been spoilt recently with the DC Designs F14 sounds - perfection!
Do you prefer the M-346or the hawk ?
Good question! I would ask you, do you prefer GPS, autopilot, digital screens and higher performance? Or old school, map and stop watch simplicity? That said, the Hawk does need a bit of updating and work on the trim and stability.
Judging from the way you pronounced Llyn, I’m not surprised you didn’t even try Dolgellau. 😂
😂 Fair!
Or do you mean I got it right!? 😁
I'm on console and having a really hard time flying this Aircraft...
How come?
@@cgaviator when "trying" to start the aircraft up I use the auto start "because I have no clue how to yet" it keeps clicking the aircraft one and off.
This thing is rapidly becoming my nemesis. Still very buggy AP. :(
I think all the military jet APs are buggy. Not sure why but the developer is aware
@@cgaviator Good news at least - I think I'll give it a wide berth until its fixed. It's a nightmare to land in wind too!
Water and electricity don’t go well together. Not getting in that swimming pool cockpit 😳🧐🧐😡😡
I've often got into a wet cockpit and wondered if the electrics would behave. Surprisingly resistant though I never keep the lid open longer than necessary!
Will it be avaliable for xbox?
Check their social media. I believe so, eventually
How did the autopilot activate? And the ILS??
Click top portion of AP/AT on top left of glare shield
@@cgaviator and ILS ?
@@jeremiel22 I’m sorry, I don’t know at the moment. If you tune in an ILS it could appear on MFD?
@@cgaviator ca se situe où exactement AP/AT ? c'est quoi ?
@@jeremiel22 lol, my French isn’t very good. I engage autopilot briefly in this video. It should show you how to engage it. Outside of that, it’s worth asking the developer if it’s not in the manual
Need help how to activate NAV mode with the autopilot?🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨
Have you loaded a flight plan? Are you close to the routing? Are you having activating AP?
@@cgaviator I activated the autopilot yes FD activate but I selected: HNAV I don't know if it's good? I can clearly see the flight plant on my map screens
@@jeremiel22 I’ve not used it for a while. Is there an LNAV option? If not then presume that’s correct. Is FD enabled (shouldn’t make a difference but may indicate steering commands)
@@cgaviator How should I proceed so that the plane follows the flight plan?
@@jeremiel22 I’m afraid that’s the limit of my knowledge. If I get chance I’ll have another look at it
