Yes, sorry! I should have included it! www.avsim.com/forums/topic/557412-learjet-operation-explained-from-a-rw-lear-pilots-perspective/

@@SlantAlphaAdventures Thanks!

Routing is complicated.... more than I could cover in this tutorial. Mostly you want to ensure you're following standard airways for the majority of your route. Whether you include SIDs and STARs with your routing depends on (a) whether your origin and destination have them, and (b) whether it's customary in your region to include them in your filed route. In short, it's definitely something you want to research, but more than I can cover in one single tutorial.

Best of luck! The learning curve at the beginning is indeed steep, and the UK in particular is a very busy airspace. So be patient, and don't get discouraged if you learn a few things the hard way. Aim to get slightly better at it each time you go out, and before you know it you'll start feeling more confident.

@@SlantAlphaAdventures Completed my first flight. Got lost during my taxi to the runway but made it to my destination. I've never been so nervous talking to strangers on the internet 😃

No, I don't -- I updated it as it morphed from the JPL to the WBSim. However, I also don't have any problems with the current WBSim version. The only thing I don't like with the current version is the windows -- I prefer the one-click operation of the handle and window, as opposed to the whole window being a massive clickspot which can be progressively opened or closed. Otherwise I like the current version. Either way -- tl;dr, nope, I didn't keep any of the previous version installers. Sorry!

look at the comment from one month ago which starts "I am having problems steering." the solution is in there

Yep, there's no problem using a defunct or even a fictional one! As for Iron Maiden -- last I heard, they were being transported in a 747 operated by Air Atlanta Icelandic, ICAO callsign ABD ("Atlanta"), and would fly "Ed Force One" under the callsign ABD666 ("Atlanta Six Sixty-Six"). There are even some videos from around 8 years ago on the VASAviation channel where you can hear them talking with ATC. Search "ABD666" on UA-cam and many of them will turn up. I'm not sure whether that is more recent or more historic than Cardiff's tenure.

@@SlantAlphaAdventures The first plane was an A320 for the Somewhere Back in Time Tour, and it was registered to Astreaus Airlines, which later became UAE, and was for the EU part of the tour. It worked so well they changed to a 757 for the rest and later tours. You have the call signs correct, but I wanted to match my livery, just for kicks. Even using A6EDY for my tail. Don't think Cardiff was part of the tour, they just had the right call sign.

yeah, that worked during this trip too. I may just end up doing the same thing as you.

LMAO I just saw your edit

Happy to be of service! Therapy that I don't even charge for -- LOL!

oh, the top clickspot gets rid of the whole thing? I'll try that. thanks!

the number one reason this happens is the callsign you filed under doesn't EXACTLY match the callsign you connected under. the number two reason is that you mistyped your origin airport ID. as an example, the Tower controller at KMCI won't be able to see your flightplan if you accidentally entered it as KCMI. the third reason might be that you're VFR within the US. a recent change with the US radar client makes this more realistic. VFR flights in the US simply have to advise their intentions verbally. some newer VATSIM controllers may not fully understand VFR procedure and think they should be seeing your plan -- or they may misunderstand and think you're IFR. if it's not one of those three cases, consider using VAT-Spy and going to the "flights" tab to see if there's something pre-filed under your CID and figure out why it isn't matching.

@@SlantAlphaAdventures I hope it's that problem and not an other one, I'll try thx

yes, all human virtual pilots. you should look into VATSIM -- it's quite an incredible experience.

@@SlantAlphaAdventures gotcha, It looks interesting. Are you a controller in real life?

nope. just a pretend one as a hobby.

most often I'm SDF-C. without the D I'm actually /U!

TimetableImages.com or DepartedFlights.com (and DepartedFlights2.com) are my go-to sources.

I'm aware. i mentioned it in the presentation.

you're welcome! at this point, though, you probably want to start looking at the ICAO ones because the rumor is that our ability to file on VATSIM using the FAA codes is about to go away. ua-cam.com/video/gENYErF93WM/v-deo.html

@@SlantAlphaAdventures ah okay. So, just use C to indicate Mode C transponder in the case of most of our GA aircraft?

sorry, I'm just now seeing this. UA-cam doesn't notify me of a second and subsequent reply on the same thread, unfortunately. yeah, for transponder I'd go with C as a standard, vintage, Mode-C transponder. however, with ADS-B (digital location transmission) becoming more and more pervasive, and even starting to be required in the real world to fly in certain airspaces, I guess to be consistent with real-world requirements you might just go ahead and claim you have a Mode-S (code S or L, depending on exact capabilities). Since Mode-S isn't fully realized in most simulated aircraft nor on VATSIM yet, t's not super-critical that you truly know every nuance of it.

Thank you on both counts! I'm a former broadcaster myself. My fifteen minutes of fame is long over!

yes... mentioned in the presentation. it's handy for commercial air carrier flights. for General Aviation my opinion differs.

@@SlantAlphaAdventures Sorry, must have missed that part! Happy landings!

yes, filing from SimBrief is mentioned in the presentation.

Referrence 32:20 in the video -- when pressing the button for nosewheel steering, make sure the green indicator on the glareshield illuminates, just as mine does. If yours doesn't, there may be a keybind interfering with the button. I'd check the FlySimWare Discord about that because I do remember there being some discussion wherein if you bind that button to a joystick input, pressing it with the mouse in the cockpit won't register. Either way -- if that green indicator is on up top, you should be good. If it isn't, that's where you need to spend your troubleshooting efforts. Best of luck.

Got it. Appreciate the tips. I definitely don't fly it in those kinds of conditions much -- but it's the kind of thing that by the time you need to bust out the manual, it's probably too late!

@@SlantAlphaAdventures so true 🤣

Thank you for the kind words! When you purchase it, FlySimWare will send automatic email notices when updates are released.

@@SlantAlphaAdventures ok, yeah, I,ve gotten a couple of those, but couldn’t find the download link 🙈🙈 to stupid 🙈

I don't know. I'm not the developer. They're called FlySimWare.

This was specifically discussed from 0:01:42-0:03:00 in the video (and mentioned in the video description too). Until there is an actual full release with a manual and tutorials from FlySimWare, you're pretty much on your own to find performance charts. Google is your friend. Some decent resources have been posted in the FlySimWare Discord server, also.

HAHAHA. God I hope people understand the reference. :-)

the wind was brutal. mine got more passable as the gusts got more forgiving.

good question and the answer is I have no idea. might be a good question to take up directly with them on their Discord. if you do, I'd love to get a report back of what they say! link : discord.gg/FeZwg7bXRj

Ah, gotcha! Thanks for the clarification.

... which is plenty fine to get the point across on VATSIM. But, yes, "radiotelephony" (RTF/) to state it in officially formatted terms.
