    Hi Ben, Well as you know I follow you in real world aviation and participate in the Xplane community too. I found your video surprisingly immersive for simulation. Many X Plane video's just concentrate on the graphics and scenery where by connecting to Vatsim you have added a whole new level of immersion. Well done very enjoyable. Ian

  • @blazep8102

    Very nice video Ben - especially flying with the Jon. Just a tip, you can turn on VHF simulation in Squawkbox to make the RX a lot more realistic since the Comms in your video is very clear.
    Hopefully see you on Vatsim one day! Stay safe.

    Hello, and firstly, Thank you for this video production, I enjoyed immensely. Whilst i am also using ORBX TE all three for UK, and Cardiff (EGFF) and a good many others, I was just wondering, if you may be indeed using Vulkan at the time of recording? The Animated fuel Truck At Cardiff (GA Parking) area on your video is fully rendered, (i see the textures on it). On My system with ORBX TE South and ORBX Cardiff installed, with Vulkan it seems to be totally greyed out. Now i am not entirely sure why, or if indeed it has some issue with Vulkan on my system. I would ask if you might shed some light on my particular issue here? Or indeed if any other X plane 11 virtual pilots could? Regards.
    Note: I tried in both Vulkan, and pre Vulkan sessions and produced the same result.
    System Specs:
    Intel Core i9-9900X 10 Core HT @ 3.5GHz, and @ 4.40GHz Turbo.
    MSI X299 Raider Ultimate Force Motherboard
    64GB Ram DDR4 @ 3600 Quad Channel
    2 x MSI GeForce RTX 2080Ti (sli)
    M2SSD 1TB 3400Mb/s (for X Plane 11)

      I haven’t used Vulkan yet as I hear things still don’t work properly and in needing the sim to work well for training.

  • @kevchilton908
    @kevchilton908 4 роки тому

    Hi Ben, thanks for posting! I'm a bit confused about your join at Cardiff. On the approach it said left hand circuit for R30, and you were directed to the VRP which was to the right hand side of the field for R30. From there it looked like you joined final from a right hand base leg? If so, were you directed to do so, or did you take the decision yourself? 🤪(Confused from Tatenhill!)

    • @david_uk
      @david_uk 4 роки тому +1

      I too heard Cardiff Radar tell another pilot it was left hand circuit RWY 30 - but I think that was an error. I didn't catch any such instruction to Ben. He was instructed by TWR to "join and report final". The NATS chart show the entry lane from the lighthouse to be NW from the lighthouse, parallel to RWY centreline, then turn left to the airfield (avoiding flying overhead the chemical works at Barry) which puts one on, as you say, a right hand base leg. I think we can let him off cutting the corner as he was busy making a YT video :)
      It's worth simmers looking at the aerodrome page on the Vatsim UK website, which contains the charts one needs and information you will be expected to know. For example, the VFR section says that "all visual circuits are to the north".

    • @PlaneOldBen
      @PlaneOldBen  4 роки тому +1

      The join from the Pooleys reads: “Enter Cardiff CAS via Weston aerodrome, route North of Flat Holm Lighthouse towards Lavernock Point, then as directed by Cardiff ATC”. The circuit in use may have been left hand but air traffic can clear aircraft to join from a right hand direction - that’s happens a lot at Blackpool you may have seen it in a video. I tracked ‘towards’ Lavernock Point and called tower to request join. Tower told to me “join and report final RWY30” - if ATC wanted me to join via the left hand circuit I’d have been cleared to join Crosswind and then into the left hand circuit.
