It’s also the best for sightseeing around the world map. Got some great views in France today. Hovering to see the landmarks is amazing. There’s a lot more detail than you think. Big difference from flying by in a plane. Can’t wait until helicopters are released!

[MatthewJohnCrittenden]

Good stuff as ever. Smart move by Microsoft to release this, should bring more people into the flight sim world.

[GumperVanLier]

The Pelican is a lot of fun to fly. Nice video. You explain things well. One thing to add, Kip. If you use autopilot NAV 1 Hold which I've binded in my VelocityOne, then the Pelican will disengage the hold function and follow your flight plan!

I had this downloaded since day 1 but never flew it until today, and I immediately fell in love with it!
As much as I appreciate the realism in a flight simulator, adding these fictional aircrafts is fun when I just want to take a break. Thanks for this video which helped me alot. Now I need to jump into my VR headset and try to VR this thing for the first time as well!

[dreamy_vibeszzz]

When I went up, I saw the Moon in the background over the horizon which was cool as well.

[MaxCaud]

Thanks for tutorial. Between this and Top gun maverick pack with the "SR-72" Dark Star, I am happy!

[RTR--]

This video solved my problems with the cruise and hover toggle. thank you

[emirgokcen]

Super nice to see your uploads again Kip 👍😊👍

[ramnik.khanna]

@Kip on the Ground, how do I enable the NAV mode while in Auto Pilot? TIA.

[Weathernerd]

Being unable to get to space is the game trying to be more realistic. In reality you can't fly much above 50, 000 ft because their air is to thin to provide much lift. To get above 50, 000 ft you'd need rocket or anti-gravity mode and to not fall like a rock you'd need alot of speed like thousands of knots. It would be really cool if you could fire up the space rockets orbit the earth a few times, and become a fireball if you re-entered the atmosphere too fast.

Hi all, do you get back jets full throttle in cruise mode ? I only see them if i am on hover mode and stick is pushed forward. It would be great If I could see those jet effect if i get it to cruide mode. Or is my thing broken? Thanks a lot.

[maximus]

Yes can you help me land this on Hover mode everytime i try to land it on hover mode it turn to full trottle it wont let me land how do you turn that off it keep going up on full trottle .

[maximus]

Ok I got a question everytime I try hovering down to land it won't let me it keep automatically pushing my throttle to maxuim power how in the world do I turn that off I should be able to land in hover mode help me . ?

[mr.pinscher]

How do I turn on the instrument panel?

[dafoex]

For a serious flight sim, this is a bit silly, but its still really fun to fly. I like that it seems to have everything you need to fly "normal" aeroplane missions, too.

[MIWRISOT]

I can confirm that the Pelican can make it to at least 64, 000 feet.

[axelramirez]

So im kind of confused, it says the pelican is 768.61 kb and i only have 3.98 gb of disk space, how do i fix this?

[KyleMaynard-skje]

My Xbox won't let me just hover in place. It keeps me going up at full throttle

[DaveC]

Why does this thing slam the throttle all the way up every time I try to descend? It's impossible to (To be clear: in hover mode, I slide the throttle slightly below 50%, meaning to descend slowly. However, as soon as I stop climbing, the throttle locks itself at 100% and if I try to move it, it just locks it straight back to the top. I climb like a rocket and can't do anything about it.)

[HeebieGenie]

The heading knob goes through each number extremely slowly.
