In this video you learn one very critical skill - how to properly change and manage vertical speed and you are rewarded with a stable plane that will fly on its own - totally hands free and without a touch of a single button.

    Very useful videos, capt'n! I've been meaning to say thanks for a while, but this one is particularly interesting to me so here I go - THANK YOU! Great job!

    Yes the fourth video is in the making but it has been turned out to be more complicated than I initially anticipated due to my personal quality standards. Within a week or two, it should be ready however.

    The material of the fourth video has been finalized and I also did a first recording attempt and ended up with a 53 minute long lecture of the must-know basics :) I try to get the material into a bit more manageable chunks for you folks perhaps by splitting the part 4 into several pieces according to the topics.

    Hi Oren Ben I assume you have also watched the second part of the series about controls setup? In that video I went through the Nullzone tab. On that that in the middle, there are two dark gray squares. If you have your yoke centered every way, do the cross and a small square in the center line up? If not, then you can use the "Use This position as Center" on the axis tab. Also BEFORE starting X-Plane, please move the Saitek yoke through its full range of motion 2-3 times in order for the yokes internal firmware to figure out the center on its own. Otherwise the yoke could be tilted indeed.

    Thank you! this is valuable material. One question for you, all my planes have a left bank, I am using x plan 10 latest version with Saitek yoke. thank you

    How do you know RPM and speed for aircraft (2050 and 83)? Is there a some instuction for each plane? I would like to test it for other plane. Thanks for lessons.

    Help!! I follow this video but the plane keep drifting so slightly off course all the time.. once it is set, i take my hand off and 30 second later it drifts off course.. WHat am i doing wrong??

    Hi Wigry, I just watched your videos-how to fly in xplane, which are very useful. I am flying xplane too and find a problem during flying it. Hope you can help me out. During the flight, i wanna change the attitude from straight to climb for example, after raising the nose to climbing attitude and holding the yoke there, i found my nose will raise to desired attitude and then drop little bit again and then i have to pull the yoke a little further to get it back to desired attitude. Not like in your video, after you raise the nose, it will stay there, very steady. can you tell me why? something wrong with my xplane or my skill? Thanks Chao
