5: The Radio Panel
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 вер 2024
- In this, the fifth video on the Cessna 172 simulator, we discuss the radio panel and explore how it works and what we can pick up with it. There's airport charts, radio frequencies and even some Morse Code in this one. The video is 1080 HD and is free to download with no attribution necessary.
This is a better explanation of the radio panels than I ever got at any airschool
Thank you - I am pleased it has helped 😊
This is simply the best explanation of the radio panel I've ever seen. This video is great! Entertaining, informative, and down right fun to watch. Now a loyal subscriber!
You are very kind. Thank yiu
Great job, Father. You made this very easy to understand. Thank you
My pleasure - thank you 😊
You really helped me understand a lot of concepts. Thank you very much!
You are very welcome. I'm glad to assist
I lost a lot of time watching other videos, when this video explains the radio instruments very easy and simple
Thank you - I am delighted to help. 😀
great video , and very helpful to us newbie fly-guys, thank you.
You are very welcome 😊
Very interesting explanation and the information regarding Pearl Harbour attack
You are more than welcome
Thank you for your time and the video! I enjoyed this lesson!!
You are very welcome 😊
BRILLIANT! 🏆🏆
Thank you 😊
I wasn't expecting this, but you taught me so much.. LOL
I am glad I could help 😊
Well done my friend, well done!
Thank you 😊
Thanks to this excellent video I bought 3 of these radio panels. I will be using them in my home sim for not just the Cessna though, but all aircraft! May look a little odd to have these in a 737, but I like the idea of having a few LCD displays and knobs in my cockpit! :-) Makes sense to have panels that will be applicable to multiple aircraft.
Yes it does - they are very versatile. Good choice 👍
A great appetizer to strain my wallet. Thank you for your efforts. You are guaranteed my subscription
That is very kind of you, thank you 😊
Excellent! Thank you!
I'm glad it helps 😊
Awesome video, thanks. Loved the intro, lol. Question, I’m looking at your setup and was wondering where you got that switch panel above your OBI. Thanks!
I made it 😊
With effect from 27th February 2020, the conspicuity code for traffic operating under VFR conditions, changed to 7000 for those pilots who have not received a specific instruction from ATS concerning the setting of the transponder (see NATS AIC Y 128/2019).
Thanks for the update - I am well out of date on many things these days ... including me! 🤣
@@FatherDane At the age of 74, I know exactly where you're coming from!

Where did you get or did you make the panel of toggle switches to turn on different radios to hear the transmission? Thanks for this video as I had no idea how they worked.
I made the toggle switch panel. It replicates an actual panel on a Cessna and it functions in the same way. I activated the switches using FSUIPC. 😊
@@FatherDane Thanks for the reply. I also am curious to see any videos when you started the 737 project. Thanks again!
@@jaybeckham All my videos are online and on my channel - including my early simulator cockpits with iFly among others. 😊
Thank you Father.
👍👍
Nice! thanks for sharing; where did you get the panels that are on the left of the radio panel?
Those are Logitech / Saitek modules and they were purchased through Amazon. 😊
How did you separate the units .. ie. when I change frequency on one receiver the 2 unit will also change and vice versa ? it doesnt matter if comm/nav or adf ?
There is a selector switch on the left side to choose which COM or NAV to connect to. There are two displays in each panel and each switch controls the display. You can choose COM1 COM2 NAV1 NAV2 ADF DME and XPDR.
One clarification please: assuming I have one panel and nav1 and nav 2 are tuned to two VORs or one VOR and one ILS, if I turn the left knob to adf and set an NDB frequency, will the previously mentioned nav settings be lost?
Good question: since I never tried it I am only guessing. But from logic, I would say that it would not change. Reason is that when you switch to another function, the values of that function are presented so switching between functions should not lose any previous value. Happy landings 😊
Question, I just got into the simming side of MSFS. I have been playing it as a very casual player since Flight Simulator 2 on my Atari 800 but it is always been jump in and fly around for short periods visually. I never knew how to use any of the instruments. I picked up the Logitech Yoke, Rudder pedals, MFD panel and switch panel which is a good start point I think for learning the aircraft and the systems. MSFS 202 seems to hands all the radio stuff for you, changing frequencies and such. Is there a way to get the simulator to stop doing that so you have to manually enter frequencies? It was the main reason I did not buy the radio panel.
I'm sorry, but I use P3D which you can control. I have no experience with MSFS. Is there a forum for MSFS you can check with?
where can I get any of those charts
Mine come with a subscription to NAVIGRAPH (www.navigraph.com/) but I suspect there may be some other sources online that may have them, but at what cost, I don't know. But try NAVIGRAPH first and see if there is something there you can use and afford. Cheers
Thank you, Thank you.
Father Dane should become a Bishop..
Ha ha! But then I would be far too busy for my simulator 😂
great video thank you i have a question when i select dme i get two sets of numbers one i feelis the distance to the dme but i have no idea what the other is for could you advise please many thanks
Depending on what you see, it could be time to/from the station or the speed. See www.aopa.org/news-and-media/all-news/2018/january/flight-training-magazine/how-it-works-distance-measuring-equipment for more details on this and hopefully it will give you a clearer answer 😊
@@FatherDane hi father yes I worked it out one us the distance to and from the other is the ground speed of the aircraft towards the beacon many thanks fir your help ..Dave
@@davidadams3045 👍👍
hi father, i am learning as i go. i have the logitech pro yoke with multi, flight and i just bought 1 radio panel. are you showing us that we need 3 radio panels? i started on the cessana 172 but i prefer the tbm 930 for longer flights. thank you
Hello - that's a good question. I know that the radio panels look like they are just for that, but actually, they also double as other instruments as well. Thus I have two radios, two navigation units (essential for instrument flying without a glass cockpit) an ADF and a transponder. The last one was an autopilot module. The TBM is a fine aircraft but it has a very modern glass cockpit which the 172 that I flew (back in the day) was basic instruments only. I took my IFR rating in a 172 and because it was basic instruments, it taught me a lot more things about flying than a glass cockpit would have. It's rather like learning to drive a car with an automatic transmission: it is harder to drive a stick after that, but learning in a stick shift and then moving to an automatic is easier. Does this help?
@@FatherDane it helps me.
@@mocheford 😊
I cannot get a display, everything else works?
One of the issues with Logitech is that the instrument units can lose their connection. What you need to do is after you start your computer and expect to see the units all lit up, is to unplug and re-plug the USB cable one by one on all the ones that are not lit. They will then re-connect. But take your time as the system needs to re-establish each one in turn. It is just the way it is with those as the USB is actually connecting a video device rather than an ordinary USM device. Best wishes 😊
@@FatherDane thanks for that tip, I do that but another tip I had was that it was in Windows itself in the power saving options you change a 1 for a 0 but you have to be careful because it's in the registry.
@@ronholfly Yes you can change the individual power settings for each USB device. I do on mine to ensure that a USB doesn't decide to go to sleep on me in the middle of a flight. It's all a matter of choice. But as long as you are able to jump start the instrument screens manually when you start, then I think all will be well. 😊
cheers farther ted , no realy thanks
Ha ha - you are very welcome! 😂
Why do you need all this navigation equipment, when you could just get the big man to fly the plane? 😊
I will ask 😊
👏😁
