  • In today's video, we will be going over the various features of the Boeing 747 to get you up in the air with as few problems as possible, which is unlikely with the current state of the plane. Like the A320neo, the cockpit may seem overwhelming at first, but once you figure out the basics, it's a lot less scary.

    I’ve tried flying this pos quite a few times. The AP painfully bad. The 320 is at least flyable and you can go intercontinental with it, did a flight from KJFK to de Gaulle without much issue. Though I thought many times that I’d have to divert to Ireland or Heathrow for gas. De Gaulle may have given me a number to call though, I may or may not have landed on the wrong runway because my ILS wanted me to

      The other 2 airliners are somewhat acceptable, but the 747 is a complete joke. 250 knot rotate, autopilot being completely bugged out and nearly unplayable, and of course the god awful fuel burn. It shouldn't have been released in the initial game in that state.

      X Plane doesn't make you feel like you're flying on rails, but P3D does. The GA aircraft of FS2020 is well done(not all, of course), like the C152. However, the jets are a different story. Bugged autopilots and mostly INOP systems. The default X Plane 737 had more working switches than the default FS A320.

    Now when you take of in the 747 it gets stuck at 100% throttle and it is impossible to reduce the engine power. Internet is full of people complaining about it and still nothing gets done... MS do not have a habit of fixing things, FS98 still has the same bug where -0,0001G will obliterate your plane instantly. FS2020 is pretty to look at but it is a disastrous mess in all other aspects, just like Windows 10...

Turn it on it proceeds to nosedive and bank at 90' regain manual control and gain control this tym autopilor does no effect but plane is full manual control despite autopilot on. i reset everything try autopilot again proceeds to nosedive and crash on some highway below.

    There are a whole lot of adverse comments I agree with: my own list of problems is long. The first thing we need to do is stop thinking in terms of "game" and think "simulation" (or "replication" if you prefer that term). Microsoft and Asobo need to do the same - why hasn't Microsoft after so many years in the genre not understood we want a simulation - not a game? For those who do want a game then I suggest you go elsewhere because there are alternatives that would satisfy your wants.
    Now we have a very spectacular platform but with more bugs than a cockroach infestation and why is that? Because everyone is in "game" mode mentally, from the Microsoft people to Asobo - otherwise we would not have this buggy "thing" that has raised my blood pressure to dangerous levels. So what is the point of simulation? It is an attempt to replicate the real thing - so come on people, let's replicate the real thing and get away from this mindset of "it'll do" and "close enough". And another thing for developers … please ask what your potential customers want and need, not what you think they want and need, or what they will accept. Microsoft should know surely that it is a bad business strategy to set out to fail (remember Microsoft Flight?). In the Vietnam war my government gave us a weapon they developed that was absolutely useless for infantrymen and we refused to carry it - they never asked an infantryman what he wanted and needed. Here we are now in the 21st century still being forced to accept inferior products … perhaps the planet really is in decline.

    • @BevoDevo
      @BevoDevo  3 роки тому

      Absolutely. The primary issue is that mircrosoft and asobo really don’t care what we think. They made a consumer friendly flying game that they called a sim so people could go in and experience. Unfortunately any actual simulation is put on the backs of the community, which is pretty unreasonable. I think they should have waited to release until the airframes were more refined, but that’s just my thought

  • @akudapapua

    Ok, some issues. The planes isn't as broken as People think. Ya'll just don't know how to properly use the Autopilot. You should be turning both LNAV and VNAV on. DON'T TOUCH V/S. It's barely used in this plane. Especially since you can use APP and LOC to capture the ILS. So let's take the example that Bevo is doing. During taxi, you should be setting your ALT to the altitude given to you by ATC, turn on the LNAV and VNAV buttons (Before takeoff only 2 green lights on the Autopilot header, turn on the F/D, and set the A/T ARM. Taxi on to the runway, flaps can be set from 10°-20° for takeoff. Take off the plane manually and get up to about 5000 ft activate the Autopilot Master and let the plane start tracking your Flight path. Keep the plane climbing and now PRESS (click on) the altitude button. This sets the altitude in the computer. When ATC tells you to climb and maintain FL210 (21,000 FT) rotate the ATL knob till you hit 21,000 and click it again. That changes the held altitude in the aircraft. VNAV makes the aircraft climb without stalling by using the auto-throttle.

    When using 737, 747 and 787 I have a problem with the trim.
    Is there a workaround?
    I trim it like the Cessna but it doesn’t affect at all.

      If you're using autopilot with altitude hold on, then the plane autotrims. If not, then I'm not sure. Trim has always felt weird in this game to me, especially on the big planes

      Bevo Devo Thank you Bivo!
      I’ll check that with the altitude hold on from auto pilot.
