    MSFS 2020 is the best gift to VR simmers. I’ve logged 400 hours across multiple flights and aircrafts, countries, weather, and so much more awe-inspiring views. Coupled with the Buttkicker, it has simply been an amazing ride with this simulator.

      I can’t say that I’ve really had the chance to experience MSFS in VR yet, Gervan (my PC was just never really up to it). This being said, I’ve just finished setting up my new PC - Buttkicker and the rest are ready to go! I’m certainly looking forward to getting stuck into some MSFS VR myself! : D

    I really enjoyed this video. It's always a pleasure seeing my home country featured. The area you flew in today has been having summer temperatures in the high 20's and 30's (Celsius) so the amount of snow depicted is excessive. The "SH 8" is State Highway 8 and designates a road owned and maintained by the government. Other roads in the area are maintained by the local councils. I flew from Queenstown to Christchurch yesterday at about 12,000 feet and was buffeted by the wind quite a bit but it was pretty evident that a fantastic job has been made of the New Zealand update.

      To be fair, I actually made the flight itself a while back, so the conditions may have been more appropriate at the time. Of course Live Weather can’t always be trusted though - we all know that Milford Sound lives under perpetual snowfall (unless that got fixed with the NZ update) XD

    The Carenado Twin Beech may not be perfect, but it's as beautifully rendered as anything in the sim. It may have something to do with the fact that I learned to fly in the pre-GPS Age of Steam, but I find it very immersive.

    • @IntotheBlueSimulations

      Completely agree Jay: The aircraft is beautifully modelled and whilst not perfect, it does have a certain *something* about it. It looks as though a comprehensive 3rd party mod has also just been released for the Beech 18, so I think that’s going to be well worth a try!

    @boydw1 Před rokem +1

    We ordinarily avoid a left hand circuit for 29 (or RH for 11) at Wanaka due to the proximity to higher terrain. Also the frequent skydive operations tend to stick to that side of the AP.
    The lake at Cromwell (including the gorge to the Clyde dam) is Lake Dunstan. If flying this route IRL at lower lower altitude, caution for HV transmission lines across the gorge at the Cromwell end of the gorge. And as someone else mentioned, The lake you first spotted after your pre landing checks was Lake Hawea.

      I also have an IFR flight in the Black Square Analogue Bonanza lined up - that should be released in a day or so (I hope that will be interesting, as it features a variety of different navigation methods + an LDA approach). I really enjoy the sorts of flying featured in the C414 video; I tend to fly with Live Weather when simming on my own, but sometimes it throws up too much unpredictability for reviews etc. I can certainly appreciate that fair weather flying isn’t always riveting, but a lot of people want to see the scenery and in this particular case, after a long week, I just wanted to wind down haha ; )

Your wish for another 10 knots (beech not forthcoming) on landing approach was justified, and would have made for a butter for sure. But I did like the touchdown right on the stall warning.

      I find this is a really nice little route in any aircraft really. Short enough to be quick, but just long enough that even in something like the Baron, you’ll have time to enjoy a bit of scenery.

      Thanks very much Peter, I’m glad you enjoyed it!
      The Beech 18 got just the one update I think and there are still a couple of lingering issues as a result (and the sounds are still only so-so). Funnily enough though, it looks like someone just released rather a comprehensive mod for the aircraft, so that may well be worth a look (I haven’t tried it myself yet, but certainly intend to do so)!
      My pleasure on the video. Happy flying : )

      Hi Ferry,

      I'm using a head-tracking device called "TrackIR" for the camera movements. It's great, although a little pricey. There are cheaper / freeware alternatives available though, should you wish to give it a go for yourself : )
      I hope that helps. All the best!

      I actually haven’t tried the Orbx mesh alongside the NZ update yet, so I’m not really sure how well the two would play together (I would imagine there would be a few conflicts arising from such a combination). With the new NZ update being so good, I’m not sure I’ll need to bother installing the Orbx mesh again. . .

      Haha, well thanks very much for the kind words Nigel! To be fair, it is often much trickier trying to fly accurately with a gamepad (although I’ve tried it myself and things can be made to work). I actually spent my first few years simming with a controller (with only a D-pad nonetheless haha) and found I could get most things I wanted done. Still, I’d be lying if I said that a joystick didn’t make accurate flying that much easier ; )

    Do you think this plane will get an update to fix the sound and bugs ? Really want this plane though!

    • @IntotheBlueSimulations
      @IntotheBlueSimulations  Před rokem +1

      As far as the sounds to, I doubt it ZA. Carenado have patched a few things here and there, but if they were going to overhaul the sounds, I think they would have done it by now (and unfortunately I don’t think there’s any incentive for them to do so).
      Someone actually just released a mod, that purports to enhance the functionality of the Beech 18 greatly, but I think we’ll forever be stuck with the soundset as it is.

  • @stefaandk
    @stefaandk Před rokem +1

    Visually it's a lovely plane but it's certainly let down somewhat by the 'outside' sounds, maybe they are true to live, admittedly I couldn't say but they just sound like a lawnmower to me. I usually turn my volume up a bit when on approach but the stall horn in this bird is painfully loud, I instantly have to turn down my volume. And as much as I appreciate that taildraggers may be more prone to a bounce upon touchdown this one doesn't strike me as real as it happens 99% of the time despite me going for the smoothest landing possible and no matter what technique or angle I use she still bounces, never have that issue with other ones like the DC-3 or even the smaller ones. Bottom line I hope Carenado follows suit with their updates and pay some attention to this plane as well as it needs some imo, it would be a real shame otherwise as it's otherwise a satisfying plane to take to the skies. Thanks for the vid.

    • @IntotheBlueSimulations
      @IntotheBlueSimulations  Před rokem +1

      I pretty much agree with all of your points there Stefaan. I don’t know whether Carenado will do much to improve the aircraft at this point, but a 3rd party mod has just been released for the Beech 18 - looks like it’s probably worth checking out (I haven’t had a chance to try it myself yet). I think we’re a bit stuck with the sounds though unfortunately haha.

      Haha, definitely not Aleksandar! In fact, the Beech 18 is one of the trickiest aircraft in the sim, when it comes to getting a smooth landing out of her (in my opinion anyway). I’ve tried a number of different techniques, but the aircraft really likes to fall out of the sky on landing XD

      Hi Wait,
      Not really. It seems as though the sounds did get tweaked, but they’re still a little bit sub-par vs what one would want from a Beech 18. Interestingly though, it looks like a significant 3rd party mod for the Beech 18 has just been released and whilst I’m not sure whether sound improvements are included, it certainly seems that the mod makes the Beech a much more in-depth aircraft to fly overall (so I’ll definitely be looking to try it myself).
