yow, Starting the Plane?

[Patches]

Can you set airplane already check listed, just release the parking barking and go? Like in all past games. I looked everywhere?

thanks,

In career mode you can skip parts of the setup (ALT-N) until you get to the waiting point before engaging on the runway.
In free-flight mode, it depends on where you start, if you start on the runway it will be all set up.

It seems set up, but my controls won't move the plane. I thought I had the controls set to 2020 by Duplicating them per the Controls Section. But maybe it didn't change.

Guess I need to work on the controls and be real fast at the beginning, ha.

thanks

The plane dies on the runway while I'm trying to get the controls to work. I have the start engine mapped I thought.

Nor could I find somewhere to turn on Tracker.

I'm in Free Flight.

Ah no, that is something I don't experience at all. Is it wil any aircraft (some are very buggy), and which controller (many experience issues with TM products).

I just got CH Flight Sim Yoke and it's old, but works just fine on 2020.

thanks for the replies., I'm trying to set up my controler and they have enough options for 747 or the space shuttle.

Do you mean TrackIR? Make sure you do the Game Update on the TrackIR driver.

If you start at the gate/parking you need to start the plane from scratch which is the most fun. As personally I prefer taxiing and asking for permission from ATC etc. If you want to start up super quick you press Cntrl+C to have the co-pilot do it all. Which is usually what I do to ensure I haven't missed something lol.

You might have to still walk around to remove the chocks and covers though (I havent checked if the auto copilot setting does this as well for you). Dont forget the pitot tube cover like I did once.

Otherwise choose the runway to start from in the mission setup and you will be at the end of the runway all set for take off. You will have to release the parking brake first (Cntrl+Spacebar).

Ok, thanks, My biggest problem right now is setting up the simple CH Yoke. If I set the elevator to the switch on the left that rocks back and forth. When I set it while flying say to level, it automaticlly starts climbing again.

I can set the elevator to an axis and it'll work, but it's real touchy. You have to adjust it all the time. Now I usually use a flight plan and auto pilot, so it may not matter when I start doing missions.

Do you mean the elevator trim? If so, yeah I set it to a button, axis is not good for me either.

When I set mine on the rocker button (up an Dn) it wouldn't hold and drift up. Now I've tried Auto Pilot, the only that worked for me was the Alt, the GPS wouldn't hold the Route or even goto the route. The Heading won't even hold on VOR 1 without GPS.

And this one of the simplest Autopilot Layout they have. It's hard to screw up.

thanks

You set the elevator to up down axis, ailerons to left right axis and rudder to twist axis. That is best. Then once you are flying use the IKJL buttons on keyboard to set the trim for elevator and ailerons. This is used once to have established a certain speed to stop raising/lowering the nose and also to counteract the propellor torque which will make the aircraft bank. When you have trim set properly you should be able to fly level without any use of the stick.

Or learn to use the autopilot - set the desired height and heading using the dials then turn on autopilot and it will fly you level. If you want to go up or down you alter the altitude on the autopilot and set the v/s rate to either go up or down by a certain rate (for example +500 to go up or -500 to go down)

That is the basics

The smaller planes I've tried do not seem to follow the route of the flight plan I dont know why yet. They used to work in the old game I am sure. Now I have to keep setting my heading manually. No idea why. But then I am sure in the old game they all had a GPS autopilot setting that you could use to follow the route automatically. Most of these ones don't have that unless I am just not seeing it. Maybe they have changed the game to remove the GPS from the planes that don't have it in reality? No idea.

I've Played through Air Hauler 1 and 2 for years. I always use AP. Plus I've used this same AP in a lot of planes. It's one of the easiest out there.

They need a simpler button bind for players like me who just have a regular yoke with no frills. Up, down across follow the route and land, ha.

NP's in MSFS 2020 after they got there AP lined out.

thanks for the info.

Edit: I'm in a flight right now, AP went to correct alt, The left is on GPS/ ROL I'm fling right on the route line with heading marker aslo in the same spot. It will not flip to GPS only.

I did get tracker to work. "So I got going that for me"

Probably just depends on the plane I've found numerous things not working on many of them. It is restricting my enjoyment of the game tbh.

I would have got a refund last night if I could. But I spent over 2 hours just trying to figure out yoke settings.

The default 172 is all I've tried except for an 182 turbo they transferred from 2020. But the AP is much more difficult for me at times. So I went back to the 172 as that's an easy AP.

Is it Autopilot Master or is it Turn on Nav 1 AP or 1 of the other 10 options. I did watch a couple youtube control set-ups I haven't tried yet. sarc/

we'll see
