such an underrated channel! Keep up the good work!

That was a real one-stop shop, thanks.

P Gatcomb, you currently have the best videos on these topics, especially the more complicated ones. Way to go!

You can't imagine how incredibly helpful these videos are! Thanks a lot!

All the little sound effects crack me up! 😁 Really liking all the tutorial videos, so helpful. Thanks!

Thanks for providing all these videos! The G3X is so much more intuitive and easier to use than the G1000. I just started flying and learning the Xcub today and was amazed by the G3X. Picked up some additional info. watching your video. Tail draggers are quite the animal when landing, ended up on my nose coming in to hot on one of landings, lol.

Thanks for making these guides! It is helping me discover more features and planes to try out.

Another helpful video. I pause your videos over and over and take notes because you’re so fast. I spent half an hour in the King Air trying to find a way to switch the AP from NAV to GPS before I figured it out. Wish I’d watched this video first!

Brilliant video's for anyone getting used to MSFS2020 or anyone who is new in general to the sim, Great job Gatcomb.

Thank you! I always used airliners and I always wanted to learn General Aviation. This video series helped me a lot getting into GA!

thanks, i was trying to find the weather radar in the king air 350i and your video was helpful in informing me there isn't one and also showed me some features i didn't know about :)

Thank you! These videos are just what I needed! Building my new PC this fall for MSFS2020. Glad I will have these to get familiar with the new avionics.

Thank you. I really love your A/P tutorials.

Seriously Thankyou for making these tutorials they couldn’t be any more help

Dude, these videos have been saving me! Keep em coming!

Great video and explanation. Seems all the other videos are for the 1000 gps. Keep up the great work. There’s so much to learn.

Wow just refreshed and seen this. Nice, keep it up

I was really struggling with the radios & approach mode on the G3X, thanks so much for this

Thanks for the Yaw Dampener explainer sub'd! Love the AutoPilot rundown vids

Thank you for another awesome tutorial!

I think I saw you flying in this area the other day. KDXR is pretty local to me so I fly out of there often in FS. Great vid btw, love the X Cub.

best autopilot video so far.

Thank you for these, they are super helpful!

Oke you made my head spinning with all that info 😂 I have to see this a few times to learn this but its awesome. Thanks

Ive been OBSESSED with your videos PG, I really appreciate how thorough you are being as well as how calming your voice is. Are you by chance going to do a tutorial on using the approach autopilot? I am getting more comfortable with NAV, HDG, FLC, etc, but when it comes to transitioning to landing, all I see is just a direct line to the airport. What do we need to do to ensure we hit the "entry" points and then use APR?

Your videos are great. It would be helpful if you could make a video on navigation and other basic items too(ILS, VOR...)

You're flying in my backyard! I fly MMK all the time! Cheers 🍻

Very useful videos, man. Oh, and I'm watching this from Spain haha.

Count me as a brand new subscriber... I think even an old lunkhead like me might be able to learn something here. Thanks! :)

Awesome video! Thanks man

Much appreciated, very helpful indeed!

Thing is so easy to use I was able to figure out how to set a flight plan and get from point A to B C D. Looking up information on the different modes outside of auto pilot nav mode.

I've been flying exclusively g1000 planes so far. This is so much better!

If you could make a video talking about ILS and how to use it, that would be so helpful. I don't know where you're meant to get these frequencies, and I don't understand what the different approaches mean, or what the transitions are (HFD). Is it something you need to study beforehand, or do the transition abbreviations mean something intuitively.

Thanks for AP video, I had to watch it a few times as the only thing I found was the commentary was a little fast to really take it all in and the mouse was clicking on buttons a little fast....but I did learn a few things.

thank you for your content

Good stuff as always! I just can't figure out how to change the altimeter on the main display.

Thanks for the video! This was just the thing I was looking for. We were doing the bush flights with this plane with my friend and tried to use the AP but now it seems we were using it wrong.

Great video. Thank u

Very helpful! Thanks!

Does the G1000 allow you to create flight plans from scratch (or change during a flight)? And any way to call up ILS frequencies for new destinations in-flight (I found where they are on the initial flight setup screen before you fly)

Could you please do a video dedicated to use the garmin for different landings? For example, Nnav, ILS etc

A few questions. Is there a wind indicator? How do you set the VOR course direction? Lastly, how do you set barometric pressure on the main screen other than pressing 'B'

Thanks for this video. I have an issue with myXCub, and I see that you have the same issue - the map is not orientated to North correctly. When you are flying a 90° course, the aircraft icon in the centre of the map should be heading due East, 90°, yet on mine and yours it's showing the aircraft flying roughly at about a 70° angle! Is there any way to re-align the map to North? Hope you or someone can answer this as it's driving me nuts! The map seems to be permanently c15° out. Also, has anyone else noticed that in the Bush Trips, the POI markers are missing from the VFR map in the Cubs?

Can you add a user waypoint (coördiantes) with this C3X in MFS2020? Starting out in NeoFly where you have to go to a Drop Zone / Search Zone. Struggling to add the coördinates into my flight plan.

First of all, thanks a lot to the @P_Gatcomb for such awesome tutorials that made me learn glass cockpits. Does G3X work for anybody for ILS approaches? I cannot do KPDK-GA27-AABEE-CHAMB-KPDK (ILS 21L). AP just gets me into weird attitudes so I have to disengage and recover and then I cannot seem to delete AABEE and go to CHAMB and AP puts me into weird attitude again. Am I having a user errot or G3X just doesn't work for ILS approaches?

Can you only enter an approach procedure after entering a direct GPS destination? On the G1000 I can freely choose for which airport I want to prepare the procedure for a stopover without screwing up my FPL, and delete the approach again before I take off for the next leg to de-clutter the map. Is there no way to do it on the G3X?

I like the pace of your vids. Keep up the great work. The thing is that if you are going to stuff that much automation into a high performance cub, why not go the distance and make a fully functional legs page that allows you to build your own RNAV approaches? There are many real world missions that require the abilty to get into and out of some very remote locations with mountainous terrain in IMC. conditions.

What is the light blue circle surrounding the plane on the flight plan? Thanks

Thanks for this great tutorial. Been trying to wrap my ahead around the g3x. it's specially confusing on the JMB VL-3 since it lacks the auto pilot panel.

AWESOMEEEEEEEEEE!! thank you!!

is there any way to view in the screen airport details?, such as radio freq.

Thanxs for that Video. Please, can you explain to me what exactly the FMS mode is? Greetings from Austria

These are great. Really enjoying them. Could you do an RNAV approach? I see these at a lot of airports but not sure how to do them or how they compare with ILS

Can you enter FAA LIDs into the flight plan instead of the ICAO codes? Because most backcountry airstrips have only FAA codes and don't have ICAO codes.

Is there a way to add custom waypoint on the G3x ?

I was flying in the XCub and when I would use the autopilot, it kept trying to take me back to the airport I took off from. How do I skip to the next waypoint or whatever that is entered into the FMS?

Pls make one of the citation longitude

didn't think ILS/IFR would be so fun but somehow it is. i like taking flights through canada and just listening to youtube until it's time to land

Thank you i couldn't figure out how to switch from VOR to GPS

What button do you have to toggle the upper view?

This video just made the Los Cerros bush trip EXTREMELY easy lmao ty man

The taildragger flight model doesn't really simulate ground loops... nor can you really do a good wheelie landing with the way it's set up. It's a bit annoying, but hopefully they'll fix these issues. Great video as always - thank you for taking the time do do these.

What quality specs are you using on FS2020 and on what pc specs? Runway did not look that well...

You make good turorials, keep it up! Btw, can we get a good turorial for vnav? would be awesome!

HELP. no matter what i do i get both my dep and dest airports set but no magenta line on the map, how can i get that to show, without it i am so lost, please help.

the IAS button doesn't seem to work to initiate a flight level change (assuming it's supposed to?). it instead switches units between knots and mach, which is pretty hilarious given the application.

I always have a hard time flying this plane. It tends to turn left and right constantly and I have to keep it flying straight all the time. Is that normal or am I doing something wrong?

Does this one do weather rsdar

Soo good been binging those. The little wane is probably fun to use! You mentioned VOR flight are you gonna do one of those? Getting rhe freqs from the Garmin and doing a VOR flight?

Came here to ask the same question. In the G1000 its easy to do, but I can't seem to find it in the G3X. Have you been able to find it yet? In the official menu it says this: Showing/hiding wind data: 1) From the full-screen PFD and/or split-screen PFD Page, press the MENU Key. 2) Move the FMS Joystick to highlight the Wind Vector field. 3) Turn the FMS Joystick to highlight ‘Speed/Dir’ or ‘Head/X-wind’. static.garmin.com/pumac/190-01115-00_q.pdf

Yeah it is great plane. The only downside, after I have already landed it, trying to break too fast to bring it to a complete stop I have flipped it one too many times, it loves to nosedive.

Regarding the trim it seems that the initial click moves it one notch and then after a second or so it starts moving in continuously. You can see it if you look at the trim dial. (sorry if I am not using the correct terms)
