Looking for a change? Try this! Analog King Air and TDS GTNXi REVIEW | Real 737 Pilot

Emmanuel, where could I get those cruise performance charts you consulted for this flight? Tks for the great video

After 5 minutes I start the engine my gps is switching off , what seems to be the problem ? Thank you ! I use the gps 530 , or is 550 ? It’s not the TDS anyway !

Recently I made to move to buy this nice King Air. I had enjoy the KA 200 on p3d but I think this addon with analog avionic is better. When I see that you made a tutorial I was sure you will make a good overview and as before I am not disappointed. Also you give me the taste to have GTNXi but the price is very high especially in CAD. I will think seriously about it...
Thanks again for you video Cpt Emanuel.

Hi, i installed both products after your review, how come your distance to waypoint shows up on the HSI gauge, mine wont, only with the default G530 does it show :(

I couldn't figure out how you started the airplane down. I got to the TOD point, lowered my altitude in the window and pushed V/S. The airplane didn't start down. It's very difficult for E to show all the time where he is looking, a disadvantage of the King Air and its pedestal buttons, and the nose up/down button is still hard to see, as is the O2 handle.
A Big One for new guys to this sim like me: If you overtemp or do other no-no's to the engines, the sim remembers them and will sooner or later give you a red "Chip" light and you won't be able to start it back up. That's if you're lucky and the engine doesn't fail in flight. The place to fix that can only be found in a manual. It's in the Bendix radar on, what, the NAV switch and from there you can "fix" the engines. Ha, I never would have found that.

Based on everything I've learned from a real world pilot, the 350 is normally operated in low idle. High is more commonly used in high and or hot departure. Prop RPM is raised just as you're flaring on landing

It’s so good to see someone who knows what they’re doing showing the correct way to operate a King Air!

Great video! I fly that combination myself and really enjoy it a lot. I really like your idea of a double review/showcase. Most of us use multiple add-on in combination anyways. I also would like to see more GA planes videos. Keep up the good work!

Amazing tutorial , Wunderbar , danke schon ! Do you know how to update the Sky4Sim Pad ? Mine didn’t update automatically , thank you !

For people with time and money to loose and disk space enough to collect planes that will be flown maybe a couple of times and then forgotten when the next appears. I wonder how many of their planes would they be able to fly for real.

Wow! Think I'll have to get this! Several years ago, I bought a KA350 DVD and fell in love with this aircraft. The pilot flew from KAPA to KTEX in Colorado. A few years ago, I visited CO and flew a Cessna 182 from Montrose up to Telluride with a CFI and enjoyed an incredible landing at an elevation of 9070' MSL. I'll probably never fly a real KA350, but this should be a treat in VR. 😊 Really enjoyed the video and subscribed 👍🏾

Is that green arrow to the left on the attitude indicator your only guide for the glide slope. The 750 never shows LPV in green?

I love what BSquare have done, but I'm annoyed they have left out the Beechcraft logo on all the gauges

Great videos. Just got the 738 and it’s absolutely amazing. I’m a huge turbo prop fan (wish we could eventually get the PMDG JS4100) and this analog King Air looks like it’ll scratch that itch perfectly. Side note, does tapping the brakes create disk warping on the brakes at all? I’d think with all of that inertia the rotors would take some abuse stopping the wheels. I’ve never flown RG airplanes so I have always been curious.

I use the KA and the TDS 750, but best use is not on the panel, but a second touchscreen monitor for the TDS. It is superb and the actual touchscreen ops are the stuff of dreams.

Great video and lots of nice info. Looks a massive improvement from the base Asobo aircraft.
Shame the GTN750Xi is nearly double the price of the Steam Gauge overhaul is. Still looks very nice and lot seem to use it now.

Looks like I be adding both these to my wishlists. 👌

I’ve spent week or two learning this and the gtn750 txd it’s a beautiful plane in RL and it’s finally been done justice in the sim with this update from BSQ it’s version 1.3 now which has added some nice touches and fixed many things. Carnt wait for my Alpha yoke to arrive and the BSQ G36 to learn too. this plane it’s a lovely change from the 737/320 with the greater automation. It’s why sim aviation is such a wonderful hobby interest you get to fly and enjoy many different types of aircraft’s. Thx for the review as always very pleasant and professional flight as always.

Thanks for this great video. The complexity of the Analog KA is absolutely off the charts, and the TDS is the superior GTN product. The workload is so high flying this aircraft that I practically sweat trying to get everything done on short flights. Then I realize there are also random failures ha. Superb products, the whole catalog.

One "problem" I have, the soothing engine noise always makes me sleepy during cruise, lol.

How frequently the database(s) that come with the TDS gets updated? Also, does it mean I won't get the "benefit" of my Navigraph monthly AIRAC updates as the TDS uses its own database?

After this Video I had to get the GTN 750.... and guess what, I couldn't resist for langer than 2 weeks before buying the King Air..... It's one of those aircraft that you just cannot fly somehow, but instead you want to know everything about every system, every scrath, you just want to know everything about it. I'd recommend it to anyone without any doubts, it's just an awsome feeling to fly

Really in depth information, great channel

I absolutely love this aircraft. The flight dynamics and feel are beautiful. Taxiing is a pleasure. I use the PMS50 GTN750. Learned some lovely tips from watching the video. Thank you so much Emmanuel.

Hey there, thanks for demonstrating this analog King Air. Thanks to you, I got it too. Is it possible to implement the GNS530 instead of the GNT750? I followed the manufacturer's instructions, but it would be nice if it could also be displayed and used in the cockpit.

Vatsim users BEWARE: I purchased the TDS system after seeing this but was quite disappointed to find it does not use the latest AIRAC or even close enough to latest for use with Vatsim. Everyone who intends to use this with Vatsim should be aware that it is unlikely you will be able to fine appropriate SID/STARS. I ended up spending more to get the PMS50 GTN750. For example, my first flight with it was supposed to be out of Orlando but I wasn't able to find any appropriate SIDS, all of them were too old to use.

Does this support any other GPS type aid?

When taxing a turboprop, should you use the beta range for managing speed vs brakes and if so would you mind doing a nice demo of that? I have an idea of what to do but not the technique.

In Altenrhein it isnt that good weather.. When i see the sky out of my window it is literally gray

Great minds think alike! Before I flew the Boeings at the majors (727/737), I had a job flying the Beech 1900C. Basically a stretched King Air. Ours were completely analog, which was all there was at the time, and no auto pilot!!! I was accustomed to hand flying the whole trip from freighter days in the beautiful (old) Convair 340s.
I retired in the 737NGs, but now I have a hankering to return to my roots, and I had already targeted this airplane! Thanks!

Does the TDS support navigraph airac data and charts?

Damn that was a greased landing. Nice job! :)

TDS needs to figure out how to update the airac cycles.

Everytime I see those Garmin units and how user friendly they are, I can't help but shake my head over the commercial airline companies who fail to innovate their avionics and still work with iterations of flightmanagment computers that were state of the art 35 years ago. The FMC's and Avionics in them look like ancient fossils compared to what a GTN750Xi can do.

If you go into your windows sound control. The one in the bottom right on your task bar, you can control the volume of the TDS separately to bring the sound down to your liking.

I bought their analogue cessna caravan and I've been really enjoying that, maybe this is next on the list...

Great aircraft. How are you controlling the condition levers?

one of my favorites

Does anyone else experience problems with the responsiveness of the Garmin in this aircraft? I sometimes have to move the camera around a lot in order to get my clicks recognized - especially when clicking on letters (like when editing a flight plan).

I already have the TDI GTNXi and am thinking this King Air will be an interesting upgrade from the Cessna 414 that I have grown to love! Thank you for the video!

Thanks! Was just flying the standard King Air yesterday and was disappointed in the lack of control you have with the nav system. Also a bit sketchy on binding the controls to my Honeycomb B. I think this is a great upgrade that I will be adding to the hangar.

The depth of simulation is impressive for sure, however I'm put off by the quality of the instrument models and textures.

It’s funny yesterday I watched both of your old live streams with the analog king air and then the 310 and then today you release this video which is a merge of both those videos and planes. I’m very new to flight simulation and anything analog is intimidating to me hopefully your vids will give me more confidence to try it

Lovely video as always! Analog King Air is great, and I'd also recommend trying out the KNS-80 unit. A very unique piece of equipment for some old-school RNAV navigations, and I'm definitely enjoying every second playing with it!
