This video outlines the use of the DEFAULT GPS in FSX in following a ROUTE, executing a HOLD, and creating a FINAL APPROACH path to the required runway at the destination airport
This Sir, is by FAR the most clear, detailed, professional looking instructional video on Flight Simulator I have ever seen. If more people used this video as a standard, the world would be a better place. You explained things clear and concise, and I am very grateful you took the time to record, edit, and publish this amazing video!
Hello - I am so pleased that you found the video of such use ! If you have not found my other site yet, you might like to take a look at that as it contains many videos of all sorts of aircraft - GA to multi Jet - both INSTRUCTIONAL and simply for fun or scenic value. If you view let me know what you think - site is TTFlier on UA-cam
WOW! FSX Should hire you to teach ALL the parts of FSX flying. You are very calm, easy to understand and give a great mix of Verbal info and well as Practical info.... ie: Now you hit this button to show you this and so on.... Thank You!
Sir, I hope you're still here, and all is well with you. I just wanted to say that this is the BEST FSX GPS tutorial I've seen. And I've seen PLENTY. I'm saving this on my computer, and I will refer to it often. Thank you so much for posting this. Take care...
Hello - yes I am still here ! Thankyou for your comments - that video was produced a long time ago - good to know folks like you are still finding it useful. I now have moved on the latest FS and that is quite amazing - but for family health reasons I have yet to get to grips with its technicalities. I hope to get back to it soon. Thanks again for your valued comments - RCS
I have not made the jump to the new FS, mainly because I don't feel that my current computer can do it justice. Besides, FSX is still a good sim, IMHO. Anyway, take care...@@TTFlier
Great video. What I tend to do on finals is switch to NAV mode and hit APPR and the aircraft will utilize the glidepath of the ILS and guide the aircraft all the way in.
Fly the GPS with ease!!! This video is is absolutely brilliant and you've been absolutely brilliant flying the GPS. THANK YOU and greetings from Switzerland!!!
I made this video a long time ago and am still getting great comments like yours - so THANK YOU - I am really pleased that so many simmers have found it to be of use to them
Thank you Sir, I find your video complete and explanatory. I understood a lot about the GARMIN 500 GPS and also the flight using GPS mode and final approach. A video to see and review and also to try the same demonstration flight on FSX from takeoff to landing. Thanks again !
Thanks - go for it ! The GPS is a really useful tool - then you can progress to the FMC or similar systems for the "Heavies". All good fun - enjoy your flying
Glad you found it useful - the GPS is a great tool - and the later versions found in the modern jets are amazing. Really worth spending the time to get to grips with it all. Like many things - becomes easier the more you use it.
Good video except I could not hear your information because of the high volume of the planes engines. i would recommend not having much engine sound as it was distracting. I would have made the Garmin 500 larger so one could see it better. Thanks for taking the time to go over the flight information on the video.
Beautiful landing! I really appreciate your teaching as you made it very clear what you were doing. I still wonder about that altitude of 3000 feet as I thought you would be making adjustments instead of the glide slope doing it. Thank you!!
Excellent demonstration. I will be referring my students to your video. Too bad about the plane drowning out some of your audio. I reduce that by recording my narration onto a separate audio recorder, then mixing both in Camtasia while reducing the background plane noise. (I use a field ZOOM handy recorder). But still was legible and very informative. Thank you.
I keep getting comments about this little video and so pleased that folks are finding it of use - sorry about the sound issues you had but glad you have overcome them.
Thanks for this video! I have a question: In the 2d cockpit when I'm in the air also on low altitude I can't see the terrain. Shift + Enter doesn't help. Ho did you fix that?
Hello Albert - glad you found the video and hope it helps. As for the VIEW OF THE TERRAIN - you can alter the SEAT HEIGHT (which in effect alters the view over the nose of the aircraft. - In 2D view press CTRL/Q or SHIF/CTRL/Q to adjust the view UP or DOWN - Press and HOLD the keys and you will see the view adjust one way or the other. In 3D view use SHIFT/ENTER or SHIFT/BACKSPACE to achieve the same result - HOLD the keys once again. Hope that helps.
Hi ttt, you just taught me how to use GPS, had some small knowledge of how to use it but you gave lots more info. When you do a flight plan and your close to the airport you have to get info on what runway you are going to land on, is that the right way. thanks.
Glad you found it of help. YES, you create a flight plan with your preferred landinv runway BUT if you are using the ATC system then ATC will allocate you a runway as you get close to the airport - so you MAY need to change your final approach - OR request a change of runway to your preferred one. IF YOU ARE NOT USING ATC then you can fly your route as originally planned. Hope that helps.
Hello - the Default GPS is accessed very simply and is shown at 3 min 55 secs into the video. Click on the TOP TOOL BAR - VIEWS - INSTRUMENT PANEL - GPS - hope that helps.
Nice tutorial. I will refer to it again. Cockpit engine noise is ridiculous and for sure I will turn it down if I fly that model. At 37:30 the engine noise is so bad I quit watching as I cannot hear you talking.
Have watched thousands of flight sim videos on UA-cam.................yours is the best, thank you.

Great video. Very informative. Thanks
Very informative, thank you. Not a bad idea to turn down the engine/environment audio. At times it was overpowering your voice.
Awesome Content indeed!!!
What a great tutorial, helped me tremendously Thank you
Very informative. Great instructions.Thanks from Canada
Very instructive video will have a go at that
Very clear and concise explanation - thank-you Sir!

great video !!
Super great! Only problem was the loud sound of engines made it a bit difficult to hear parts of your explanation.
Glad you found it of help
Beautiful landing! I really appreciate your teaching as you made it very clear what you were doing. I still wonder about that altitude of 3000 feet as I thought you would be making adjustments instead of the glide slope doing it. Thank you!!
Love your videos man! Btw, what scenery and mesh are you using? They look nice! Thanks!
thank you!

Very informative. If you had to perform a GoRound will the SatNav take you on the required route if you press the VOR button?
Pleased you found it of use - thanks for letting me know
I'm going to make up an excuse so I can home early from work! LOL and do this!!!!!! Thank you!
may i ask how you are doing voice over with out going through the radio
excellent. background a bit loud for us with dodgy hearing.

@@tttravelvideos558 Thank you very much! It works!

How do I even pull up the gps?
Hello - the Default GPS is accessed very simply and is shown at 3 min 55 secs into the video. Click on the TOP TOOL BAR - VIEWS - INSTRUMENT PANEL - GPS - hope that helps.
Good tutorial, but descent planning was a bit off 😂
Nice tutorial. I will refer to it again. Cockpit engine noise is ridiculous and for sure I will turn it down if I fly that model. At 37:30 the engine noise is so bad I quit watching as I cannot hear you talking.
