V Special 1

Welcome aboard my virtual aviation channel!

This channel features flights from around the world. With regular flights from Ryanair, easyJet, Wizz Air, Fly UK, Delta, Air Canada and Oman Air, alongside General Aviation flying and many "Guest" airlines from all over the world. With content from all 3 main PC simulators. Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, P3Dv5 and X-Plane 11.

I'm always happy to chat and answer questions. So please join me as I traverse the skies and learn not just about the planes I fly but also some of the destinations I visit that you might not typically see on other channels.

    British Airways Parks near Taxiway Romeo at Gate B25 in Phoenix Sky Harbor. B25 is at Terminal 4. Once off the Runway, Speedbird usually goes on Taxiway Bravo then Romeo followed by the Blue Quebec Line. You got the right Terminal, but it was the wrong gate. You parked at Gate A25 which can't fit a B787.

    Couple of notes, at the start I mention I'm flying to Izmir because that is what it lists it as in the tour I am following, in reality the airfield is someway from Izmir and just outside Selcuk so hence the tile! Secondly the power issue I had on landing, turns out to be a carb heat issue, the two blue leavers next tot he parking brake control that! Now I know, I should avoid this problem in the future!!

    Love these small peripheral airfields/airports. Do you plan to flight to some Greek islands as well? Some approaches can be tricky. Subscribed!

  • @vspecial1
    @vspecial19 ай бұрын

    Discovering the smaller airfields is a lot of fun. I always enjoy flying to locations that aren't typical destinations you might think of. I actually did a Greek Islands tour a while ago which you can find on the playlists. Other than getting randomly rostered to Greek destinations as I did Santorini recently I don't have any specific plans currently. There's still a few Greek destinations left on this tour including an Island or two. And of course if there is a particular route you would like to see then feel free to request it!

    I think NVIDIA was supposed to help Asobo fix the blurry avionics when using DLSS - I'm guessing that didn't happen and we have to wait until MSFS 2024 is released for it to be fixed.

  • @vspecial1
    @vspecial110 ай бұрын

    I believe that is the case. I know with the 40 series cards there is DLSS version 3. Whether that fixes things I don't know. Yes DLSS does blur the glass displays a bit but as I am flying in 4k (i scale back to 1080 on OBS fpr uploading) it is still readable. On the upside taxiing around airports just feels much smoother so it's a trade off I'm happy with for the time being as for me stutters drive me crazy!!!

    There is one thing I learned is there is no such thing as a "quick airliner flight" in flight simulation. It ALWAYS eats up more time than you think! So less time consuming flight in a smaller aeroplane can be just as enjoyable. Wonderful videos as always VS1 :)

    Absolutely. As much as I enjoy the complexity of the airliners I do also enjoy the more hands on flying and being low and slow in something like the Tiger Moth.

    Realised I left my mic on mute for landing!!🙈. At least I didn't smash it into the runway this time. Back to floating instead. As you retard the throttles there seems to be a very fine line between too much thrust causing the float and it dropping away sharply as you reduce power. Makes for a good challenge!!

    Apologises for the low voice sound. I realised I had my "ducking" set the wrong way round so the sim sounds would lower my voice, instead of the other way round!!! Essentially I was just lamenting the quality of the Twin Otter and it's twitchy handling and also physics which were very evident as I flew over the cliffs on final approach!!

    Apparently there's a bug at the moment with the take off power. You'll notice it took me ages to get up to speed and airborne actually resulting in a tail strike. The solution Apparently is to cycle the power settings back and forth. Will try that for the next flight which should hopefully solve the issue.

    I'm not too sure what has happened to the Stearman. It's gone from a great plane to easily pick up and fly to a very twitchy very tricky handful since the updates. Might have to look at alternatives for sightseeing as a plane that jerks around all over the place is not ideal. A shame as it used to be ideal for these fights!

    You need to work on your taxi and takeoff skills. You rushed the landing gear deployment and flaps deployment, almost caused overspeed the flaps. You need to do it in increments as the speed decreases.

  • @vspecial1
    @vspecial1 Жыл бұрын

    Taxiing has always and will probably always be rather haphazard on this channel due to the limited amount of free time I have. Not helped by it being very easy to oversteer with the FBW A320 when turning. Take off. Yeah the ground handling of some planes make keeping it straight a bit of a battle Landing. Sure, can definitely be guilty of getting the gear down to soon or configuring too early. Although I notice a degree of variation in real life to. I used to live under the approach to LHBP and some planes would come over gear up and others gear down so I'm guessing that procedures for that may vary by airline.
