I tried that plane 3 days ago for the first time and fell in love with it instantly but I kept falling down into the french alps because I lost power at high altitudes. This video helped me a lot, thank you.
Excellent video! Coincidentally, I’ve been looking to fly planes that have levers that do “happy dances” and it appears I came to the right place! Seriously, though, you’re vids are top shelf.
Have you seen the Toolbar Pushback add-on? Watching your taxi maneuver made me think of it. The nice feature is that you can plan your pushback, including turning, so it's really handy for when you've got to back out of your parking space and then immediately make a 90 degree turn.
4:19 I think the apparent discrepancy between the Weight & Balance panel and the fuel gauges is because the panel is showing US Gallons whereas the gauges are showing Imperial Gallons: 24 US Gallons is approx 20 Imp Gallons. Thanks for an interesting video!
Nice video, thanks. I've been flying the seaplane version of the DHC-2 Beaver a couple of times and have enjoyed it. However, I have yet to figure out how to extend the landing gear if I want to land on a runway as the levers in between the the pilot seats don't seem to work properly. Starting on a runway the seaplane Beaver just floats above the runway without the landing gear extended...not real realistic, but fun still. Keep the videos coming and thanks for the POH.
So fun! We had the opportunity to fly aboard a De Havilland Beaver DHC-2 in SF Bay. It was incredible! You may enjoy the footage we took: ua-cam.com/video/fNZpeHHzYpk/v-deo.html
How things have changed, in the old days the pilot "learns" the aircraft and flies. Now we use GPS and all the electronics etc flying tolerances are MUCH more strict. GREAT flight! !! !!!
I have trackIR and VR- I’d honestly take a monitor if I’m doing a super long flight- just not getting that “loopy eyes” feeling is worth it. Maybe my eyes are just weak, but I get disoriented once I set up my vr, then again I run painfully low settings
Actually it would be tolerable if you just spoke more slowly and paused between sentences. Otherwise you risk sounding like Donald Duck after inhaling nitrous oxide.

You can remove that rattling sound when on the ground by tightening the yellow oil filter cap.
My favorite plane in MSFS 2020 by far! Thanks for the vid mate!
Great vids! Thanks for the help. Would love a vid on all the ins & outs of the beaver, especially mixture management and carb heat.
I have been watching serveral of your videos. You explaining things are pretty fun and informative. Thank you for making these!
I'm going to be flying this plane (well, the floaty version) for a The Long Dark re-enactment flight, so this video is timely as anything. Thank you!
ooo may I ask what your route is gonna be?
@@SkylordNiko Just saw this now, sorry for the late reply. CYYX YVR YCD YBL triggering crash NNW of YBL.
@@cavalierqoon awesome! thanks man

Excellent recap ! Needed this information, as I’m doing a group flight tonight…don’t want make too serious mistakes :)
Great vid

19:58 - Did I hear you right? "One thing we do not have, of couse, is an automatic pilot on this aircraft"? There is clearly an AP.
also was being bounced around cuz he was doing 240 w climb flaps. still a great vid

It works. Just map some keys to gear up/gear down.
@P GatComb the beaver yaws violently to the right when I cut the throttle upon landing during the landing roll. Any suggestions?
Maybe bring the max prop speed down- maybe there’s too much torque from the slow spinning prop-
Roger that
Hello Sir, nice video but there's no sound of the engine.
Nice vid...i have one question my GPS, transponder and auto pilot are blank, nothing happens it is selected on the kneepad any ideas please
Radio switch toggled on?
@@interestingstorey sorted it's the update fs2crew 737
There's a primer pump to your left on the floor.

first lol
I dont see how anyone can enjoy flying sims without VR.
some of us aren't made of money
I tried VR and can't figure out how anyone can enjoy flying with it. So I guess it's not for everyone? I'll take TrackIR any day of the week.

My favorite plane.
You talk to fast.
And zoom around cockpit
To fast.
Great otherwise
I guess you don't care about fuel usage. You should have leaned it out a long time ago. And you talk too much.
Wow, you're fun

Nah, there's nothing wrong with his video.
