your channel should be WAYYYYY more popular, these videos are incredibly interesting and you're a really good teacher. I can't wait to try this in the sim and apply these lessons thanks a bunch!
This reminds me of my old MS FlightSimulator 4 and 5 books in which these things were also described in detail. (no support for GPS in the sims back then :) ) Quite funny to do a complete flight this way, but a lot of work (determining when to switch over to next VOR, reintercept radials etc.). The most fun part was doing a VOR only approach.
I love to fly SEP/MEP this way. I'm also simming for >25 years (with pauses due to insufficient hardware or job issues for sure, but I got back everytime). I don't like the Glascockpits in the sim (in RL they are great, of course and include more safety, etc.). In general, I'm a "Techie" and love HighTech and new stuff. But flying "the old way" with steam gauges is the best in spring and summer - and a nice contrast to all the computer aided airliner RNAV procedure stuff.
@@MtheHell I like the G1000/glass ' following the magenta line' cockpits as well from time to time, just because i am also a techie, but then again sometimes 'old school' IFR navigating is fun. Hmm i need to do a flight of one of those books again :)
Really enjoy these series, so many thanks. One thing that confuses me is the 'toward' and 'away' terminology when the arrow seems to more accurately represent whether you are in the northern or southern half of the VOR's hemisphere, and is nothing to do with whether you are approaching it or not. Am I missing something here?
My favourite YT channel - a new upload is always an insta-click. VORs are fun, back to the basics!

This is such a great tutorial, thank you!
