Give us the old slew mode back!

[Waldo Pepper 1,953]

Install voice commander.    That's what I did.  I made voice commands like "Toggle Slew Mode",   "Slew Forward 2 seconds"   "Slew Forward 4 Seconds",  "Slew Forward 8 Seconds",  "Slew Backward 2 Seconds",  "Slew Left",   Slew Right",   "Slew clockwise",  etc.

Makes life much easier.    Like when I say "Positive Rate",  then Voice Commander raises the gear and after the command is issued says,  "Gear Up".

Can anyone forgive my ignorance and educate me what slew mode is?

This is a great explanation of using Slew mode. There are tons of reasons to use it. Maybe you want to practice landing, so you can Slew to a position right before landing, or slew when making a mission to a POI ( I think ), and a bunch of other reasons, I can't think of right now 🙂

 

I also think I have used it when I crash, cause I have damage turned off 🙂 Usually I can slew back up into the air. However, sometimes it is Disabled, like when flying a missions. Might be able to use it when making a mission, but disabled when flying one pretty sure.

Lets say testing new  plane and setup flight that starts on the final (by just assigning an arrival but not assigning a departure). It will start up in the air on a straight in approach.

Go to external view and slew backwards and upwards if you don't like where MSFS as dropped you for the landing.

Also you can just paste (control V) your  google  maps home address geographical coordinates in the main MSFS window and set it to Arrival, No departure. When you then hit FLY it will start exactly over your house. From where you can active pause and take the drone down for a view. To get those geographical coordinates of a street address, just click on the Google maps icon for that street address and right mouse select "What's Here"
