Why is the #2 video marked Private?
The video is on bad weather approach. It’s not as good as it should be. I may look at it again at some point.

What changes to BSM would you like to see covered in future videos? I have my own ideas but it would be interesting to hear which tutorials you would like to see updated to cover new features.
@VIPER-0 Thanks for your kind comments. I really appreciate your support.
More tutorials to come.
@Atlas The video is in 3840x1600.
I would recommend every flight simmer buy an ultra wide monitor. Think of this video as a demonstration of what you’re missing if the aspect ratio appears unusual.
Added a new video on overhead landing:
Added videos on landing at Kunsan, and CCIP:
I could use that to go back to the desktop to view PDF’s, but it’s not as practical as having the PDF on the second monitor. I know that’s possible because I have used it before, but for some reason I’m locked to the main screen now.
Also windows and folders jump between monitors when launching the sim, which is a bit disorienting.
I’m trying to use a second monitor for a checklist. I have done that before, but for some reason I’m now limited to one monitor when in the cockpit. The mouse pointer won’t move to the second screen. I tried using windowed mode, but I have the same problem.
Any ideas would be appreciated as I can’t find anything relevant through searches.
Added the second part of the Up Front Controls video:
I’m researching the UFC Cruise page.
When HOME is mode selected 2 carets are displayed in the HUD on the speed tape and on the altitude tape. Following these 2 carets will establish the best profile to reach Home Plate (or any steerpoint designated as HMPT).
The procedure to fly this profile is to select full military power, reach the speed caret first then pitch to reach the altitude mark while maintaining the speed on the caret. Altitude may vary according to fuel burned. Please note, optimal altitude is given in radar altitude on the DED, but may be different on your HUD scale depending on the altimeter setting. Check the picture on the right, both carets are followed and the optimum altitude in the DED matches the HUD radar altimeter. If you follow both carets you will reach the home point at the selected optimum altitude. The altitude caret will disappear once you can start your descent. Further information displayed on this page indicates home point (can be changed to any INS steerpoint (e.g. alternate)), onboard fuel quantity remaining when reaching active steerpoint, optimum altitude for the HOME profile, wind direction and speed.
How do you designate a steerpoint as Home Plate? I can’t find reference to that in the documentation.
As hoover mentioned, the more you add to XP11, the greater the RAM load. You can manage with a pagefile, but I’d rather have the extra memory.
This is the PC I built last year:
Core i7-6700K 4.0GHz
Noctua NH-D15S Dual Radiator Cooler
Asus Z170 Pro Gaming Intel Z170
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB DDR4 3000MHz Dual Channel
MSI GeForce GTX 1070 GAMING X 8G
Samsung 256GB 850 PRO SSD
Samsung 512GB 850 PRO SSD
Western Digital Black 2TB 7200rpm HDD
Corsair Obsidian 450D
Super Flower Leadex GOLD 650W Fully Modular “80 Plus Gold” Power Supply
That is more than powerful enough for BMS, and DCS, at maximum settings. However X-Plane 11 would benefit from 32Gb of RAM.
If I were building that PC this year I would upgrade the CPU, add more memory, possibly use a 1080 instead of the 1070, because the 1070 has been fine even at 1440, and is an easy upgrade later, and I’d add a second 2TB drive for X-Plane ortho scenery.
I’ve heard good things about the VKB Gladiator. If I was starting out with piston engine aircraft I’d probably pair it with MFG Crosswind pedals and a throttle quadrant.
