- An experiment of sorts for those just starting out - picture-in-picture of my hands on the controls of a Cessna 152 in Microsoft Flight Simulator while operating the aircraft - describing everything I am doing in operating the aircraft along the way. If you would like to learn alongside others, head to virtualflight...., and join the Discord server, and Facebook group!

Superb. Just what I needed. Thanks!!
Great video and an excellent primer for a novice like myself. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Great Video. Thanks.
The best youtube video on Microsoft Flight Simulator
Thank you
👍🏻🙋🏻♂️Amazing lesson again, love this video tutorial as much as UK.
Thanks.
Wait, I think vanishing the yoke is not realistic.
This is the best video i have found on TH-cam for beginners. Thanks a lot Sir❤
I learned a lot from this video, thanks so much!
I'm just debating whether to get flight simulator and my biggest fear was can I get started in a very basic way until I'm comfortable and then gradually add more of what a would really do like he said, turning on lights contacting the tower etc so this has given me a lot of confidence that to start i can just easily get this wee plane in the air and just enjoy flying around. I first tried flight sim probably 30 years ago and it just started off already in the air and if you didn't do what it asked quite quickly it would just say, looks like you don't want to fly today and end the session so I just wanted to be sure as i say, I could start easily and it's even easier than I'd hoped. I'm assuming the uploader doesn't come back to this video in 2024 so does anyone know which version of flight simulator this is? The fact he made the vid in 2021 leads me to think this is Flight Sim 2020?
It's Flight Simulator 2020 :)
I can fly, but.....I CAN'T LAND!
I'm gonna die! 😂
I very much enjoyed this video. I learned a lot too.
Hello, I'm enjoying your videos and channel. Can you please advise the model of the Thrustmaster kit you are using and whether it is Xbox compatible? Thank you.
I have the Thrustmaster Airbus stick and quadrant. I have no idea if it's XBox compatible.
@@jonbeckett Many thanks
First step: wait one year for the most prominent bugs to be fixed. Wait, did they fix the tutorial already? Great!
Is that the bit where “you have control” and the plane whips up to a stall inducing vertical climb and crashes no matter what
I agree with the comment below, thank you I will be looking forward to more just started on MSFS
Promised myself I'd try to learn Microsoft Flight Sim in 2024. Great Video thank you.
@TripstarKayz hows it been
Fantastic Video! Thanks! There are a lot of great videos out there. But you actually explained with simplicity the WHY something is happening. Even without being very technical one can understand the physics of why something is happening! Following your channel immediately!
Excellent tutorial, hope it's one of many. Clear and concise, explanations.
Hey man great video, could you put a link to where you got your throttle and joystick?
I was going to ask the same question. I checked out Amazon and found this - Thrustmaster T.Flight Hotas X - Joystick and Throttle for Windows/PS3 = @ £60 - Not identical but the nearest i could get to the one in this video.
I just got that too. So far, works great - and almost identical to the one in the video.
Fabulous video, just playing for the first time today.
Great content for beginners.....i´m learning a bunch. New to Flight Sim. Thank you so very much for your time.
Outstanding video , Im just learning and your beginner videos are the best being able to see what the controls do in the outside the plane is so helpful. My question is I will mostly be flying small planes and it seems like it will be best and more realistic with a Yoke and peddles, or not? is this your every day every plane setup with a stick? Thanks
I just use a stick - an Airbus stick and quadrant. I twist the stick for rudder.
Thanks, nicely done!
My instructor used to say "power holds you up".
Just started with the badic training and enjoying this simulator. But man the programming of my Hotas is very limited and unfriendly compared to DCS
Very well explained Johnathan, I am going to browse through your videos and soak in the information :)
I have a playlist of basic pilot skills that I've been working through just recently.
Excellent video. Thank you.
interesting video for beginners,
love your dialog minus the lip smacking...
Great and easy to follow video. I'm 'about' to take the plung with MSFS and this video was so cool to watch and enjoy. Consider me subbed!
Glad it was helpful!
What joystick is that?
It's a Thrustmaster HOTAS.
Simply Brilliant
This is a great video, thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it - don't forget to subscribe to see my new videos.
Great video Everything unrushed and explained very well . I look forward to more of your videos Johnathan.
Thanks Jonathan for a great video.Amazing lesson again, love this video tutorial
No worries!
Thank you, great tutorial - after playing racing games on the xbox for many years I can feel the need to try the flight simulator as well
Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it - don't forget to subscribe to see my new videos.
Great video thanks
How do you know that you have to turn 60 or 240 degrees? I open map and see the direction of runway then point my nose parallel to the runway in order to land. Am I doing wrong?
On the map (in LittleNavMap, or charts in Navigraph) you can see the runway directions - so you form a mental picture of the runway - and the opposite direction too.
May I ask. What brand of joystick are you using? Thank you.
In the video, that's the Thrustmaster Hotas X.
I don't know if you realised, but you never explained about ailerons. You did elevator and rudder and then said that's about it for control surfaces.
Really? Haha - well spotted.
It was real enough that I kept saying, "carb heat, carb heat"!
You never know about carb ice even on a perfect day. And check you mags! (-:
No kidding, a very nice refresher for this ol pilot!!
Truth!
Thank you
Thanks Jonathan for a great video...I'm using Xplane11 and LittleNav map and I love it....just ordered my Honeycomb Bravo throttle and Alpha yoke and also the Logitech G pro flight rudder pedals....I'm all set to go :)....cheers
Great vid thanks
Where can I purchase the yoke you are using? Does it come with the throttle?
It's the Thrustmaster Airbus kit. You can get it from Amazon
Exactly what it says on the tin, thank you 👍🏻

@Jonathan Beckett, thanks a lot for the video!
Can you please do a more detailed tut on VFR landing in a C172, like when to start descending from the cruise altitude of say 8,000ft, while being 20-25 NM away from the airfield, the angle of descent, air speed / throttle and pitch control, when to deploy and increment the flaps etc.?
I think if you search TH-cam you'll find hundreds of videos showing that - but I'll add it to the list :)
Trying to get to grips with MS Flight Sim again this year, Great introduction video, the best Ive found on you tube
Just started looking at Flight Sims, I would like to start with the basics and build up the accessories over time. What is the model Thrustmaster Joystick and throttle control are you using?
I was going to ask the same question, Mark. I checked out Amazon and found this - Thrustmaster T.Flight Hotas X - Joystick and Throttle for Windows/PS3 = @ £60 - Not identical but the nearest i could get to the one in this video.
Thanks!
Cheers!
I want to know how to put myself in the air craft and how to choose an aircraft
And locations.
When you start the simulator, just click on the map, choose a location, and choose an aircraft.
This is not an absolute beginners guide. You did not tell us how you got to the first screen where you see the plane from the outside. Start with that and that's where an absolute beginner will start.
