Approach video to LFLT (TWA 28TH APR 2024)

[scaredmice]

Hi all!

I use to record my approaches just for the fun of it, and to learn of my mistakes. Sometimes even from outside 'replaying' it on XP11. And to the extent that nobody is heard or caught on camera if they condemn it, I like to post those videos somewhere. Here it is the approach to LFLT, short final to RWY11, as it is viewed from an DC-3 on X-Plane 11. Sorry for the LittleNavMap composition that ruins details, I forgot to uncheck that view.

Thanks for the video Scaredmice. It is interesting that you are flying X-Plane 11. That was my sim of choice up until I switched to MSFS2020. I have forgotten so much about how to fly X-Plane 11.

Welcome to Timbewolf and Midnight Aviation.

Thanks.

I've used MSFS2020 twice, under the XBox service promotion for the Standard Edition, one month each time. The first was when it was just first published in August 2020.

Impressive visuals but (in 2020 and 2022) planes were not up to the level in XP11 in procedures. Too many buttons that don't do what it is expected, or nothing at all ('No Op.'!).

Once I got Ortho4xp and now Autoortho, and some weather plugins, I don't mind the visual candy, you see basically the same except ehen go below 500' AGL and it is not pure Mother Nature.

But both my FSX and MSFS have the same keyboard assignments than XP11/12, and they are basically the XP11 ones, which I found vastly superiors. Rarely fly FSX if not for tweaking sceneries, but its keyboard assigments out of the box are nightmares, compared to 2020 and X-Plane.
