    Doofer, youre hands down the most informative youtuber when it comes to flightsimming. You always create videos about stuff people actually want and need to see. It would be even better if you created a dedicated series , starting with complete knowledge on how to plan flights , different navigation techniques, etc. I know you got older videos that already cover some of it. Would be nice to see them remade as a whole series with the new microphone and progressively explaining those very important topics. Fingers crossed! cheers

      Hi Jolly, I'm afraid I won't be going back and remaking any of the content that I've covered previously. I feel that the videos I've produced in my spare time over the past 2 years cover more than enough for a flight simmer to become comfortable with many aspects of flying and have been produced following a sensible, logical progression. My focus moving forward will be to grow the channel and begin to explore new subjects in the same manner that I have with Aviation and Flight Simulation to help introduce a wider audience to these subjects and give them a strong introduction so that if they wish to explore it further, they can.

    You make it simple, clear, easy .....what it's complex to understand like the GPS or the powerfull FMC. I'm awaiting for your next uploads. Thanks for sharing and have a nice Christmas time.

  • @leopard6554
    @leopard6554 8 років тому +2

    Thank you for this sir. We are eagerly waiting for the detailed tutorial video in flight. I tried this by myself but I couldn't figure out how it works exactly. It is very challenging and complex. Thank you.

    • @Doofer911
      @Doofer911  8 років тому +1

      It is a very complex system so learning all of it's features and everything it can do may take some time. Like the GPS unit, you probably don't realise how powerful it is until you REALLY sit down and mess about with it

  • @snowballs442

  • @Gdub33
    @Gdub33 21 день тому

    This is really great. Are there more of these for FMS? I really need more infoemarion on how they work so i can use them in flight sim. This was one of the best airplane turorials ive seen. Normally the people doing the turorials go too fast and or say things that arent basic enough to understand (using acronyms etc).

    • @Doofer911

  • @treborhg_9381
    @treborhg_9381 8 років тому

    It took me weeks, but I have gone through your whole list of tutorials. I would actually like it if you play through some of the game's missions and lesson in fsx. I think the lessons in fsx learning center specially are really well done and we don't have many of these videos in youtube.

    Are there any freeware aircraft with FMCs, or installable free FMCs which can be used with freeware aircraft, which also can be kept up-to-date with AIRAC data?

    • @onesevenninewest
      @onesevenninewest 7 років тому

      Max John there's EasyFMC and vasFMC. EasyFMC needs to be registered to work fully (it's a paid service) but you can use it even without doing so on some FSX planes. vasFMC should be fully free, although you will need to download AIRAC cycles. EasyFMC uses the default FSX data.

    • @jm08a31
      @jm08a31 7 років тому

      Well, freeware aircraft don't tend to have a good FMS system.

  • @Djunturica
    @Djunturica 8 років тому +1

    Great video thank you kind sir! Just one quick question. On EC-135 there's a system called Navigational Management System - NMS. Is it the same as FMS but just for navigation purposes? I'm kinda confused.

    • @Doofer911
      @Doofer911  8 років тому +1

      I've not heard of it before but that sounds correct.

  • @matas3552
    @matas3552 8 років тому +1

    • @Doofer911
      @Doofer911  8 років тому +1

      Yep, I'll be doing videos on the two CDU's I featured in this video, the A320 and B737

    Comparing Airbus to Boeing FMC, which do you prefer to use? Between A320 and 737, do you have a preference which aircraft you prefer to fly?

    • @Doofer911
      @Doofer911  4 роки тому

      I'd have to say the 737, you just feel a little bit more involved when flying it.

      N(orth) S(outh) W(est) E(east) used when manually entering waypoint coordinates fx N57°28′18″ W4°13′31″ into the FMC .

    • @Bartonovich52
      @Bartonovich52 3 роки тому

      Most pilots use ARINC 424 shorthand for entering lats and longs
      If I wanted to fly to N35.00 W115.00 I would enter 35N15
      The placement of the N between the two numbers tells the FMS that it’s in the northern hemisphere and west of the hundredth meridian.
      If I wanted to go to N34.00 W98.00 I would type in 3498N.
      Similar patterns using the placement of E S and W will give you positions everywhere on earth from a simple five digit code.

    • @Doofer911
      @Doofer911  7 років тому

      I believe the AIRAC data which is published needs to be paid for each time it's updated so it's not available to casual simmers however there is a Flight Sim Addon called Navigraph which is a subscription based service which updates your simulator's AIRAC data and also offers other things such as software containing aviation charts
