Oh man, thank god someone has figured out how to explain something in under 7 minutes. Every damn tutorial of MSFS on a topic is 15+mins and honestly, all what is needed to know is like 2mins of it. Amazing video, straight to the point - please please please keep doing more of these!
Just found your channel. Brilliant clear and concise instructions! You may have at least partly converted me to a 'Tubeliner Captain' after following your instructions 🤣!
Thank you ! After months of quiet, reasonable landings in the Longitude - since the AAU1 update - even with "auto rudder ON", find the aircraft unrealistically unstable on last part of final - pre-touch down. Addressed the issue by raising my approach speeds - and - no longer use "full-flaps". Very little difference. Seems there "may" be a bug in the stability profile of the Longitude below 135 - 140 kts. VNAV and AT work great - but this aircraft is not that unstable as the current sim displays.... Cross-winds are almost impossible to land smoothly - even way below the max crosswind limit. Frustrated - love the sim & aircraft - but since last update - something is wrong - IMO.... Appreciate you video - well done !
Do you have a video with Longitude cold & dark startup ? I couldn’t work out this new version out, complained about low hydraulic pressure + something else, it wouldn’t move ! Brakes and chocks off of course
Yup it’s at the start of this video - you can disregard pretty much everything after “engines on” now that VNAV is in ua-cam.com/video/tw4cVMjcs-Q/v-deo.html
You may need to switch nav source over to radio. On the PFD settings to the left of the pilot yoke there is a button which says NAV SOURCE FMS (or GPS). You need to click it til it says LOC1
How does one manage VNAV in the climb phase, with waypoint ALT restrictions on a SID for instance, I seem to bust most ALT restrictions on a SID with crossing restrictions? What would be the proper way to manage ALT restrictions during climb? Flying the TBM 930, that doesn't have VNAV guidance on the climb.
Thanks for the tutorial. One other thing: when Im in the longitude, I see the pfd split with a map on the left/right screen. I want to get rid of it and have a full pfd screen like you have at 0:39 . Is there a way how I can do that? I’m on Xbox
In VNAV mode you can leave it in “FMS” and all you have to do is switch it on. I use a hotkey for that, IIRC the Autothrottle switch is in some awkward place on the Longitude. In manual setting mode it’ll follow whatever you dial in. Your desired speed will be displayed in blue above the speed tape on the PFD. Make sure your flap setting is appropriate for your selected or current speed.
It’ll switch off at altitude restrictions then resume afterwards. It’s also possible that some flight plans don’t provide enough data to calculate a VNAV path (because the MSFS flight planner isn’t perfect) so double-check your plan in the FMS before flight, to make sure your cruising altitude is actually in there and that a path up and down has been calculated. Also of course, make sure your MCP altitude matches the cruising altitude you provided in the planner. All these checks are in the video at various stages 👍
@TiJayFLY I was flying out of Tampa and upon takeoff everything was good. Around 2000 feet up, it held there. Speed restrictions changed from 200 to 250 but it just continued along at around 2000 feet until I pressed FLC again. The rest of the flights were perfect.
How you put the auto throttle on??? I dont undarstant how this work. Boeing and airbus you jus selct speed like 250 nots, and then ckick/push the ias button. Thats it!!!!I dont even see the speed hold button. You have to be more detaied its not eazy the way you talk. (Sorry for bad inglish)
@@jojobens I show everything. Pause after each step of the video. Write down what to do. Rewatch any sections you don’t understand, until you do understand.
I'm just wondering if gpws callouts are a thing in this plane in msfs. I can't find anybody even mention it, except the longitude performance mod. The real plane has them, and I'm wondering if I'm missing something, or is asobo? Seems so easy to have them as they already exist in the game. If anyone knows please let me know!
@@Stan-ug9mx I just program the route directly in the FMC and use the sim/EFB to get weights. That’s all shown in the airplane tutorial videos. There are tutorials out there for Simbrief with those planes, but I won’t be doing that
@@TiJayFLY Lol yea my cheap ass is playing on game pass. Wasnt sure if I wanted to play when I started....now I have a honeycomb alpha and bravo. Maybe time to upgrade versions lol.
What if I set my altitude to final approach altitude and still don't have a TOD? having difficulty with this. Also can you do a video on VNAV decent In the cj4. As always thanks for you content!
After setting your cruise altitude on the MCP on the tarmac, check that the FMS plan contains climb and descend altitudes at every waypoint before you take off - it won’t work if these are missing. I show this check in the video. This seems to be a flaw in the MSFS flight planner on some routes where it doesn’t have enough data to work it out. Shorter routes with direct departures and approaches, and routes outside Europe & US, seem to be the worst for this. You *can* manually insert altitudes in the plan too (see my Honda Jet VNAV guide for this). There’s no guarantee that the sim will correctly calculate TOD from them, but it’s worth a go if altitudes are missing. I should cover the CJ4 VNAV, I just don’t like the airplane all that much 😁
@@speak-easyconversations1393 yeah the more data you can give it, the better. I’d imagine if you don’t at least pick a departure/arrival runway, it will be unable to calculate. I believe SIDs and STARs are a huge help. See the flight planning tutorial on my channel for an example of an “ideal” one.
Hi did you uninstalled the previous G3000 that you would have installed ?
Yup, the patch notes say you must
@@TiJayFLY This would be if you had mods installed right? Not the stock version?
@@whammo11224 sorry just saw this. Yes, if you had the WT G3000 installed you must uninstall it first.
@@TiJayFLY Thank you

Just had the prettiest landing because of your video. Thanks!

Short and complete for vnav. Thanks!
Great video, thanks! Longitude was one of my first loves in MFS.
Just amazing! I think I'll be flying the Longitude a lot more from now on.

Really appreciate the insight and the comments, thank you!
Thank you for the knowledge.
We finally have VNAV 😀. Looking forward to giving it a try.
In the Longitude / other G3000 jets at least. I think the airliners still use the old broken system.
I haven’t flown anything but the longitude since🤣

@@TiJayFLY But…your video starts at ready to take off at the runway. I’d need the 1st bit from cold 🥶 and dark 🧑🏻🦯 It’s ok, I’ll try again
@@yams900 the video I linked to in the comment is from cold and dark, at 11 seconds in
Thank you for the vids. I had one question please. What is the 'final descent altitude' at 2:50? Thanks.
Altitude at the final approach fix (faf) listed on the plan
Excelente as always 👍
A good, helpful video that could be made into a great one by having better focus on the instruments.
I can't get approach mode to engage. I click on the button but nothing happens. I can't figure it out.

The Longitude should just obey them. Not sure if the TBM supports this yet, or if you have to manually manage MCP altitude and use FLC.

There’s a PFD config screen to the left of the pilots yoke. I think it’s in there
If you look at the left hand screen in the centre in home view along the bottom is a square icon with full size label, click on that.
@@lordnibbo ^ thank you!
Haven't figured out how to change the altimeter setting to Hpa.
PFD options on the MFD to the left of the yoke maybe?
I tried that... Agree it's the most logical place to find it.
@@4CJ_Aviation im not sure if it’s actually possible… last I heard it wasn’t modelled in the g1000 planes so 🫤
I enjoy watching your tutorials, concise and easy to understand, any plans to produce tutorials for helicopters?
I’ve only really covered the basics ua-cam.com/video/IlwBur6WNrs/v-deo.html
@@TiJayFLY Thanks for the link
Hey nice explanation, how do you get the road data on your avionics?
Road maps are an add on available for the G3000, from the Working Title website
@@TiJayFLY I'll have a look thanks. Great tutorial btw got me up and running with vnav easily 😁
I'm having problems with the auto Throttle. any tips on operating it correctly? I know you need to select manual but I still have problems with it.

In manual setting mode it’ll follow whatever you dial in. Your desired speed will be displayed in blue above the speed tape on the PFD.

A few minutes into flight and my FLC turns itself off. Any idea why?

help won't change to cruise mode any crz detent on throttle ?
@@williamwidjaja850 Longitude has an Autothrottle - just make sure you’re not missing any steps shown

They don’t seem to be in the plane
this is nice. Do you have a tutorial on how to set up a flight plan for this plane?
Sorry, I forgot to add a time stamp for that! 06:03 in this video
@@TiJayFLY Thanks, So you like to use the flight plan from MSFS instead of using sim brief or other flight planner?
@@Stan-ug9mx for sure. It’s much easier and feeds straight through to the airplane in a lot of cases.
@@TiJayFLY how about for the A320 and 737 max?
@@Stan-ug9mx I just program the route directly in the FMC and use the sim/EFB to get weights. That’s all shown in the airplane tutorial videos. There are tutorials out there for Simbrief with those planes, but I won’t be doing that
Is the only way to get the longitude to buy the $100 version of MSFS?
If you’re playing on Game Pass, yup - but if you own a lower version, you can pay the difference to upgrade.
@@TiJayFLY Lol yea my cheap ass is playing on game pass. Wasnt sure if I wanted to play when I started....now I have a honeycomb alpha and bravo. Maybe time to upgrade versions lol.

@@TiJayFLY so having a departure and approach is ideal. What about an arrival?
@@speak-easyconversations1393 yeah the more data you can give it, the better. I’d imagine if you don’t at least pick a departure/arrival runway, it will be unable to calculate. I believe SIDs and STARs are a huge help. See the flight planning tutorial on my channel for an example of an “ideal” one.
@@TiJayFLY copy that, thanks brother.
What livery is this?
One of the defaults, not sure specifically. The red one 😂
There are no callouts, is it bug?
Don’t think these planes have call-outs. You can set minimums but that’s just a flashing warning on the PFD and a beep
I see someone landed with the altitude scale still on standard😂 Is there a way to set the transition level in the g5000?
😂 yeah it’s a dial directly above the PFD. I set it on the way up, just forgot on the way down
Thanks I learned about hiw to use the Global flight planning, very interesting…. Laurie. NZ
