Hi Mantock,
Thank you for your very good tutorials presented in a very natural way. The more I watch them the more encouragment I get to try VATSIM.
In reference to your tutorial on navigation, part 2, you found that the bearings sugested by the chart did not match that of Plan-G. I have giving it a thought and believe that the chart refers to 'True North' and Plan-G automatically applies the deviation for 'Magnetic North', which for that area is 4 deg for 2014; so, I would add the 4 deg to the TLA bearings.
Let me know if this makes sense.

I think there are two possibly related explanations for the observed discrepancies:CamAir wrote:Hi Mantock,

1. TLA38 and TLA32 are named intersections, however I don't think the SID is actually directly referring to them by name.
2. If you are flying in FSX, Plan-G uses the FSX database. Since FSX came out in 2006, magnetic variation (declination) has changed, and VOR radials are based on magnetic north. On the other hand, I would guess the SID information from Aircharts.org labels VOR radials using current magnetic variation information, and thus the possible discrepancies. If interested, see the thread here http://forum.avsim.net/topic/336155-mag ... 9-and-fsx/ which shows how to update the FSX database for changes in magnetic variation.

Most recent addition folks, me messing around with the C172 in IFR conditions over Norway, this time with the Flight1 GTN 750 which was brought to the C172 3D cockpit in a recent A2A update

Hi Folks,
Just resurrecting an old thread to post a new video of mine. Here is my latest addition to my PPL Training series, a long term project I'm working on.

A great series so far, I hope you continue and with it, it'd be nice to have a complete course from you for the sim flyer.
thanks,
Lewis

Re: A2A C172, VATSIM VFR Videos
Hey folks, sorry its taken me so long to produce the next part but here it is! This is incorporating the new rain effects that A2A pushed in a recent update, looking beautiful!
I plan to be more frequent as life settles down, just to recap I moved house to the Highlands of Scotland in the summer, so I'm just finishing the sixth month of being up here, so I've had a lot to deal with. But hope to be more regular with these going forward!

Another VATSIM VFR video from me.
Not a PPL Training Series video (one to come soon) but still, this is with the new PBR update!

Nice! Look forward to the next ones
For sure the series is well made and I look forward to being able to point new simmers your way for a great series in understanding flight and flight sim basics
cheers,
Lewis
