    Excellent training video! Thanks! I learned to fly in a C150 and never learned taildragger. I ended up teaching myself. I do ok with light GA aircraft, but fast planes like the Mustang give me a fit. I like your bush flying as it is my favorite way to fly. I also am a bearded many decades simmer at age 69. This is the best description of landings in taildraggers that I have found. Just Subscribed!

      Yoj are right. He knows what he say. I am a 64 years old glider pilot and finally someone who explain well to simmers how to land properly. Simple and clear.

    Here's the thing, tailwheels in this game are still easy like in FSX. I can still manage to get them to at least shimmy into a straight line when the tail comes up, and I can even bring the tail up with forward stick like my dad told me and kick it into line.
    Try X-Plane 11 though... if that tail comes up and you don't have enough wind going over the vertical stabilizer, the prop takes over and usually you start fishtailing down the runway until you flip or spin out. You HAVE to keep full elevator down (to keep the tailwheel or skid in contact with the ground) until you're confident you have enough airspeed, then either let the tail come up or relieve enough pressure on the stick to have the plane come up off the surface at the same attitude as it sitting on the ground.
    Truly a fun challenge.

    Great video! I learned a lot, thanks. I can't seem to reproduce your tail-wheel locking however, I can turn on a dime irrespective of the yoke position and the tailwheel freely castors in external view too. Maybe it was changed in subsequent updates (it's now 2.5 years after posting). Not to be too finicky but the mountain you identified as Mount Adams is actually Mount Hood, Mount Adams being 180 degrees behind you. Anyway, great video, thanks again!

      I actually transitioned to flying FS entirely in VR shortly after making that video, and I still haven’t found a workflow that results in VR video that’s worth a damn.
      Fly slow, all.

    Planes greatest threat be it T/W or nose wheel, is misuse of the ailerons.
    Rule of thumb on take off and roll out:
    is to maintain ailerons PROPORTIONALY & OPPOSITE the needed rudder.
    To do otherwise, like recovering a skidding car, is that ailerone YAW, will accelerate ones demise.

    What kind of sensitivity are you setting with the pedals? I just got MSFS flight sim set up with a proflight puma helicopter controls I’m using for both helicopter and tailwheel. But I find the realism in tailwheel way too sensitive compared to real world. Barely any pressure or almost just thinking about pressure in the pedals rather than pedal jabs like I’m used to real world tailwheel flying or it’s all over the place. Wonder if that’s because I have the helicopter controls that don’t recenter, or if it’s sensitivity settings, or if it’s just that that’s sim flying.

    I'm a bit late to this. Can you "up" the crosswind speed for landing/take-off procedure practice?

    • @zacharybottoms3968
      @zacharybottoms3968 Рік тому +1

      Yes, you can. Before flight in the "flight conditions" tab you can select "add wind layer" and adjust the direction, speed, and gusts.

    • @beardsinthebush6173
      @beardsinthebush6173  2 роки тому +1

      That depends heavily on your price range. I have a Thrustmaster Warthog that I’ve put an extension on and center-mounted, along with (out-of-production) Saitek Combat pedals. I’ve been flying sims a long time though, and started out with pretty basic analog joysticks.
      If I were building a simple setup for a kid just getting into it, I’d probably go with an X52 Pro, which will get you a great stick and throttle combo, and has stick-twist rudder control. If he REALLY gets into it, you can move to a nicer HOTAS combo and pedals, and the X52 will sell pretty easily.

    • @beardsinthebush6173
      @beardsinthebush6173  3 роки тому +1

      Honestly, it's been awhile. I know I used flaps for the final landing on the RC field, but honestly they're kinda superflous for most normal operations in that airplane. Only when you need to get REALLY slow do you need to get them out.
