  • 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!

    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?

    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.

    • @jonbeckett
      @jonbeckett  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I have the Thrustmaster Airbus stick and quadrant. I have no idea if it's XBox compatible.

      Is that the bit where “you have control” and the plane whips up to a stall inducing vertical climb and crashes no matter what

    Hey man great video, could you put a link to where you got your throttle and joystick?

    • @CDWaite
      @CDWaite 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      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.

    • @tomtekulve3337

    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

    • @jonbeckett
      @jonbeckett  ปีที่แล้ว

      I just use a stick - an Airbus stick and quadrant. I twist the stick for rudder.

    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?

    • @jonbeckett
      @jonbeckett  ปีที่แล้ว

      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.

    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.

    @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.?

    • @jonbeckett
      @jonbeckett  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      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.
