The most REALISTIC, LEGIT FlightSim! w/ StayLevelAvionix -- RealSimGear -- X-Plane

I'm a cfw I can teach instruments I can also teach private pilot level stuff but I want to take this thing for the next level and I want to be able to teach my instrument students in a really immersive environment so John actually makes these very nice panels where I can fit all my stuff that I already have into his panel and make it look like a real airplane and the thing about simulation is where it becomes really effective is when you forget for just a few moments that it is not real or you you feel it like for a couple of seconds that it is real that's when you know simulation has done a good job so I want to increase that for my students that that realism is you're gonna see that transition happen now I'm actually just touching down now it's just narrating here perfect and we're gonna take you through that transition of what was it like to get this simulator which i think is pretty typical for people to have even a flight school to have and take it to a whole new level so let's watch let's see what this looks like let's go through this process he's going socks in the socks off.you do this way this is actually what we're gonna do go paws exit goodbye all hello [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] the missing piece care you're opening this you don't want to go to be yes look guys these peanuts you can eat them oh there this is gonna be like oh look at that takes a couple engineers the now huh [Music] all right everybody so we got this thing all set up and although this isn't my first impression of this panel I've actually seen it for several hours now I wanted to give you some of my first impressions because it is very impressive so you saw what I had before so it's a bit overwhelming what's here now I mean it's all in this panel that looks like really close to the real thing especially economically the the instruments are in the right spot I look down line to see scenery even got the the aircraft view set up pretty well the throttle feels like it's in a fairly correct spot the GPS is perfect I mean everything just feels right very high quality panel here John is here listening he's in the other room but this thing is amazing I'm gonna have him talk to you guys later he's just done such a good job with it to talk to you about the type of materials that are on here but you know for me that with without all the you know background knowledge of how everything comes together what I see is quality I mean this thing is rigid it's on the desk it's not going anywhere you know I can control the aircraft very well and I I just feel like it's working well and that's the whole point right so I'm gonna be using this for with my students I'm gonna be showing you guys videos with this with this simulator set up so the counter angles may not be perfect now I'm still trying to figure that out and how it's gonna work but I've got everything hooked up I've got my iPad that's taking the the information from x-plane I've got these instruments that are on this iPad Pro behind here and the GPS from real sim gear that is just like a 5:30 feels like it it's just natural to be able to use it and then some other panels here that aren't necessarily close to they're like perfect to the real thing but it's still great to know that I can go and do comm - or nav - you can even come down here and do transponders there's a lot of different things that you can different functionality you can use got mixture prop and throttle here and trim this trim goes a little want you to work with and whenever you use trim it actually is better to have that forced feedback so you know you make sacrifices when you're using a simulator but for the most part speaking outside of just the different components really impressed with the all-in-one package the idea is for me to just sit down here and do flights and do some simulation with my students do some simulation to teach you that are outside of Alaska some knowledge so that's kind of where we're at I just wanted to go through and show you guys an ILS approach into Kenai which is a local airport here to where I am so we're going to do that you can see all of this stuff working together you may not be able to see it up close and perfect we're gonna say everything working together how beautiful it is how how clean and simple it is and what I'm actually gonna do now is I'm actually going to go to my map view here and bring down my range and get set up for the approach so yeah I mean don't expect perfection here but I'm gonna attempt to shoot this ILS down the minimums I've set up the weather to do that and we're just gonna check it out and see how it works and I've got everything set up to do that so if there's any dead air if I'm sitting here concentrating and it's not quite quite nice and it's boring I'll just cut that out but we're gonna go down the approach path here we're gonna go to minimums I'll show you some stuff in between maybe even do a little fancy time-lapse in between here and there but let's see how this thing works in in real action and then after I'm done with that I'm actually to have John sit down here and he's gonna walk us through what went into making this all work so let's actually see it in action first and then we'll go from there alright so there's that glide slope so what's gonna happen is I'm just gonna reduce the power just a little bit to allow that notes that naturally come down and hopefully we'll just follow that glide slope down still try to get a sense for what the settings are on this airplane the configurations that will allow me to get get the correct descent rates and everything out of this so not quite there yet so this may be a little bit of a hodgepodge but we'll make it work alright doing a little bit back and forth here I need to get that dialed in glideslope looking good for now we'll see how that trends so I've got my I've got my readout here that is a little bug on my HSI and as I get on a stabilized approach I'm just going to move I'm not going to move outside that HSI I'm just going to allow that to now you do any heading changes outside that HSI gonna keep it right there again you can barely see the change but I'm just gonna let it slowly slowly come in it gets more sensitive the closer you get glideslope looking good we're on track passing Freddy now which is the final approach fix so it's only gonna get more sensitive as we get closer to the runway I see I'm trending slightly high on my glide so I'm just gonna bring back a touch of power see what that does for me over time alright right on my course gonna bring it back the other direction right about there so got lots of pieces here to verify that I'm on track and doing well my minimum altitude is 300 feet actually 298 but I just ran it up to 300 so that's what I'm looking for on my altimeter alright so we're just just below 1,000 feet AGL now we're getting pretty close final runway to 0 right and it's a nice situational awareness things they're on for flight all right we'll keep that right there and milk that in there we go come back to the right just a tad looking really good on everything and you may see the runway outside the airplane but I'm not looking there yet until I get to my minimums I'm just gonna focus on this because I want to practice alright so that's looking good right there that's my course right there just got to milk that back and forth just a little bit glide slopes looking nice [Music] just little see how little tiny tiny movements 500 and Katie there's 600 feet just a few hundred more feet to go still looking don't quite see the runway gonna come back to the right just a hair a little bit below glide slope bringing that up things can get a little wonky here we're only off by a few feet at this stage yeah it's starting to look outside the window but I'm not quite at my minimums and [Music] they're my minimums all right there's the runway right on the approach path right align Center I'm pretty proud of myself that was awesome all right so I'm gonna configure for landing I'm pulling up the power all the way back I approach a little fast and just bleeding that airspeed off gonna start milking in a little bit of flash but you you know you're all set up you got a long runway you could even do no flaps if you really wanted to so I don't have to get too crazy with it and then any final switches you'd want to do but I kind of had everything set up already so I'll just bring this in now this acts a little wonky with the simulator when you add those flaps kind of pops up anyway bring it in for landing here and that's it so that is the simulator in action I mean that's how the real thing works you've got things you're working with here things you're working with there for flight doesn't know that this is a simulator it's just treating it like the real thing you see it just switched over to the the taxiway chart their GPS worked perfectly just like the real thing instruments were really great nice little refinements it's gonna be fun to add some more realism to this with with some more real world weather plus winds and all sorts of things we could get into so really great that is kind of a first impression for you to see how well the simulator works how great the graphics look I mean if you can see that screen at all up there just looks very very realistic please from my perspective you're gonna see a little bit of glare in the in the camera here but anyway all looks good I want to get John in the seat and I'm gonna kind of interview him let him talk it out a little bit but also interview him about these materials and and hopefully you guys will enjoy that process so here we go let's get John in the seat now dude that iOS was perfect all I heard was like right on the center line and I got gc5 nailed it hey what was like all right John sitting down now he's here I'm just over his shoulder you're not gonna really see me I don't think he could see me on any of the cameras maybe right over his shoulder here but uh John is kind of flying around he's got a pause button you can pause if he's really getting in some deep deep thoughts here but John run us through this process a little bit what it was like coming together and making this happen yeah yeah and I was awesome so you know obviously top avionics panels Chris reached out not to me had some ideas around some components he already owned and you know I was looking for a better more immersive experience in his flight sim so he's me using this for quite a few different things actually at what this school as well so that's a great thing for him and Tommy you know mention what he had we went back and forth on some different avionics components that he could consider to accomplish what he was trying to do and one of the examples that has been an abuse in a and iPad here so this is an iPad pro of a first gen twelve point nine inch but we use a remote flight cockpit here a really great six pack got a really nice solution compared to some of the older options that are out there in the marketplace and then this just connects very simple and you know he had this real severe unit as well and we obviously integrate all these different components we work with a lot of different avionics and a lot of components have a great relationship with real sitting gear and and what they use and so we're able to really integrate all these things into this panel and yes so any object there could absolutely what is your right what is your component here that you manufactured yeah yeah so yeah we manufacture this this whole panel right and so we manufacture the integration module that takes all these different avionics puts them all together and one simple thing that you can lift up get on your desk and tie everything together right so you don't have to be fumbling with all these stands and things falling over it's just everything is built in really nicely we manufacture this off from the carbon cold rolled steel it's really stiff gets great great weight but also great lightness for that for the stiffness of the actual material we powder-coated we make this whole thing so it's just it's really really nice and everything's nice and attached has the perfect harder to fit in the hardware with it yeah all hardware is included so whatever screw you know it's really pretty well ready to go so so obviously people are gonna have different components I have these kind of these bottom three is what I have the yo-yo dream well and the throttle quadrant yeah and then got the real sim gear thing because I knew that was going to work they have other items he can get for 3750 I don't know if it was 650 but G 1000 so he's kind of building his products there too yep but then I pad because I want to stick with 6-pack because that's what that's why it's very unlikely I'm gonna be getting in G 1000 airplane for my flight school I'm just I'm new yeah and then we've got this stuff on the right-hand side it's kind of I ordered those on Amazon those are from Logitech fairly simple not perfectly realistic but those will work - in other words you're not even in the right location right they can do it on the left now that said those are the things I had though this is kind of the form factor we want to do what if someone else had different components what do you do yeah yeah so so what we do we do a couple of things usually we can find the the actual panel cut out dimensions and so I work with a lot of different avionics manufacturers we can actually get the panel cut out dimensions and files and integrate those into the panel we send you back and forth some CAD files the actual illustrations of those cads so the the renderings and you're happy with everything looks and everything everything fits now additionally if we can't find those actual panel cutout files will actually have you mail the avionics and the components to me and will actually make them all fit from a mounting solution perspective so and that's actually what we do at the iPad pro that's exactly what you do because you haven't done an iPad pro yet yep and so I actually just shipped it to you and you got it all figured out for me yeah very easy yeah so we do the mounts and everything and that was pretty simple john and i'm gonna be flying a real airplane tomorrow we're looking forward to that he's gonna get some alaska flying experience so I'm all about that and you guys are gonna be seeing this simulator more in the future and any last words John before we you know know I mean just it was been an awesome experience coming up to Alaska you know it's now the most beautiful state ever seen I had thanks Chris relevance hospitality and and for everything in the community you know it's it's a great group of people and then excited to be a part of it so yeah and check out John stay level avionics all right makes these great panels if you're thinking of building a really comprehensive all-in-one package that you're gonna use for your flight training he's the guy to go to you know there's a lot of research out there as well to get these different components and things so he can guide you in the right direction he can't do all of that stuff for you but John's a great resource great panels this stuff doesn't exist that's why I got John on board with this cuz this this is what we were after yeah I mean look at this thing this is a it's a fordable first of all I didn't go out and buy one of these $20,000 panels you know I can't use it for logging time for actual student experience with instrument but that doesn't matter it doesn't mean I can't still teach in this and and get some good some good experience for the students so great job John thanks so much for coming but this is only the start we're gonna be flying tomorrow hopefully show some of that footage yeah guys see this footage and so thanks for coming guys and until next time throttle on alright I didn't want to leave you guys without some sort of real flying experience so here John and I are gonna take off from a local airport called Seldovia it's short it's a soft field kind of surrounded by trees challenging for a guy from Chicago so this is going to be in another video but I thought I'd give you guys a taster now because of all that desk work and computer work we were doing we had to just get out in the wild and actually do something for real so here it goes all right go for departure yeah let's uh let's talk about the takeoff for a second so we're gonna use as much of this runway as possible a little bit yeah because you're coming around the backside I want you to start adding power so that when you come around the corner you're already full power over there great garlanding so coming in giving it as we're coming around continue to give it power yep and so when we come around the corner we're already full power we already have some speed yep so you're gonna lightly you want to get that nose wheel off okay you don't want to get it off so much it we're creating a lot of angle of attack and creating a lot of track I just want the nose a lot that's it yeah as soon as the nose what comes off release your back pressure an accelerating ground effect we're gonna do that for a while probably it up to 80 to do that pretty little airplane little tri-pacer and and then there's a gap in the trees to the left that we're gonna go through so we get all our speed and then we kind of build it up and then we kind of zoom up a little bit when we're ready and we start to climb out it is that that lower part of the trees were there they kind of a V down kind of yeah well it's actually the higher V to the left okay is actually lower ok so there's like a little estuary right there okay and we're gonna go there you can't see right now but I see definitely lower there so we're not off by the halfway point then we're gonna abort the takeoff and again and if I say my flight controls my flight controls absolutely all right come sounds good alright so go get traffic sky high two three and a forum we're gonna be kicking around record if we're staying in the pattern one lap solo yeah ducking I'll be somebody on the runway yeah different type of material yep okay you're all locked in everything's good beats long is it we're good oh one degree flaps actually okay all right scoot it up close to the edge there you but little closer yet little closer to the edge yep yep hey it started to add that power get a smooth into there so they run away okay or power more power more power we're gonna cover that corner more power more power more power okay let the brakes go here we go get a little bit of back pressure right about there maybe a little bit more gate right there why that why that why that why that little right rudder accelerating grab that stay right above the runway board pressure your pressure yep okay more more MORE don't worry about the trees cut and let it zoom up now let it climb up naturally you gotta keep about 80 and go to that gap right so that's a little bit of a taster of what it's going to be like in the next video flying with John did a couple stop and goes here in Seldovia and then we actually go fly over the ice field and the mountains coming up next so that's gonna be in another video I hope you guys enjoyed this entire process of getting this IFR panel together really really useful tool but of course you got to get out there and do some real flying so make sure to LIKE subscribe share and until next time throttle on
