Glad to see another pilot making accurate flying videos TH-cam. I started making videos a week ago after seeing so many HORRIBLE FS2020 videos on TH-cam by people that have never flown real airplanes. Lots of people want to learn and it's fun sharing knowledge from a 20 year flying career so far.
This series is really helpful, not only for the explanations, but also for the little details and suggestions that you add from your real flying experience. I really hope you'll continue with more content. And again, thank you for taking the time to help new flight simmers out!
Ugh thank god for this. I'm a avid gamer and when I got Microsoft Sim I was just blown away. Totally different set of skills, nothing like I have ever experienced. I spent many a trip on the traffic pattern lesson and never could understand why I wasn't able to nail it. This vid helped tremendously. Thanks bruh.
Can´t thank you enough for doing these tutorials!!!!!!! I really love this new sim but for learning to fly you are totally left in the dark. I come from DCS where you have really excellent documentation and tons of video tutorials on every aspect of flying and now in MSFS 2020 - apart from the "on board tutorials" which at least in the german translation are pretty awful - I just cant find any material to really and systematically learn how to use this sim and it´s fantastic potential (apart from trying to translate stuff from flying an A 10 to a Cessna - which doesn´t work to well in most cases). Your channel is like an oasis in the desert...
Hey, I have REALLY ENJOYED watching your videos! The way you explain what's going on and relate it to real-world experience is really informative and exactly what I was looking for. I've been thinking about taking flying lessons for a long time, and I'm totally new to flight simulation with FS2020, your content is exactly what I was looking for. I'm looking forward to your lesson on navigating, understanding how to use bearings and such is lost on me, I can't seem to successfully complete the last tutorial mission where you have to do it on your own. Thanks for the great series!
Concise and well explained with lots of useful information. Very good for watching more than once to get all that stuff to sink in. Subscribed and eager for more.
In addition to ATIS as someone else said, some airports will have a wind sock to show you direction. That’s easier from the ground though so ATIS is the better approach.
Awesome tutorials, they have helped me so much. SUBSCRIBED!!! Quick question, just curious to your graphical settings. The scenery looks great, but the runways seem a little......off. Thanks!
The live pause has a bug, the speed decreases once you set it on. Just try and look at your speed next time. You were going at 80, then it cut to 40 once live pause was pressed.
Question: when you were getting ready to begin your descent, you decided that you had to adjust your mixture. What parameters caused you to make that decision?
Great video and instruction thank you. Just wondering if there are any other flight sims that offer good lessons and tutorials now that I have completed MSFS 2020's tutorials. I really want to learn more about landing patters and procedures!
What exactly do you use to brake? I know I can reverse thurst, but how can I apply brakes without mapping it to a key so its instantly 100% brake pressure
Is setting the DI heading bug to that of the runway when I'm taking off to do a circuit a good idea? This helps me visualise those 90-degree leg turns as the heading bug lines up with those 90-degree fixed outer triangles of the DI.
@@chemiegamerpeter1326 They don't tell you that on FS2020. If you look at the tape/placard to the left of the flap handle, the top 1/3 is blue. In the real airplane that blue band has 110 printed on it for the speed limitation (that band is there in the game but I'm not sure if it says 110 or not). It's been nearly 15 years since I've taught in 172s but I remember it all too well.
I'm a beginner I just to start and I found you the channel I subscribe to it cuz the videos are really good and very good explanation so I have a question for you so please I do traffic pattern and every time I take off turn the left make a circle get back to the same airport or base it tells me you failed the training so do I supposed to land in another base what is a mistake that I do over here thank you
I don't know how to select Airports for Landing. The Airfield Codes like LFXB and etc can't be easily found. What I mean is this, when I select ATC in top menu and then select " Airports further from you" I don't see the airport I want to land at. How can I ensure I am approaching the correct Airport if they are all listed as Codes LFXX etc? It's a serious frustration to me because even finding the corresponding Airport code in the ATC list is not obvious.
@@danix30001 Hi, thanks for your reply. I did try it, the problem I had was being able to read it. I try to use Heading for Airfield navigation but, there does appear to be some inconsistencies but, my guess is I'm reading it wrong. Below is an example of where I want to go LFBX. skyvector.com/airport/LFBX/Perigueux-Bassillac-Airport Problem I have is determining what the actual heading is. There appears to be no Heading recorded, only Runway heading which also doesn't seem to be always accurate when I fly towards it. I read somewhere that Runway numbers are headings and to determine the right course we'd have to add a "0" so Runway 28 would essentially be at a 280 degree heading.
@@DonReality It all depends on what you are flying but here are some tips on the 152 in particular: 1) Although outdated, you can use ADF (Automatic Direction Finder). In the 152 it is on the Copilot side; gauge with the yellow arrow. Tune that in; as you can see on the map you provided it is 389 (Perigueux-Bass) which is an NDB (Non-Directional Beacon). Once tuned in properly, look at your ADF Gauge and the needle will point towards that NDB, which is in the general direction of the Airport. Centralize that Needle and you are on your way there. In real life, if you want to confirm it is the correct NDB, you can look at the chart and confirm the morse code, then turn on the Speaker for the ADF and listen to it to confirm. The morse for this one is .--.-..- 2) Use the built in Map in the Sim - Zoom out and find the airport Unfortunately, you can't be assisted by VOR because there are non around this airport. Although runway numbers in general represent runway headings, 28 = 280, etc, always review the chart as the final course may actually be off, such as 279° or 281°. It's always listed on the approach chart (top left) under Final Apr Crs. Hope this helps!
very nice explained! as a casual who is just learning how flying works with MFS2020 your videos are very good! thank you!

Thanks so much for posting these basics. I haven't flown for years, so it's really fun picking things up again from someone who also flies real life.
Just found your channel...you have a great way of explaining things, I look forward to future videos!
Concise and well explained with lots of useful information. Very good for watching more than once to get all that stuff to sink in. Subscribed and eager for more.
Thank you so much, for someone who just statrted wiht simulators, these videos are the more accessible ones i've found.
you are the you tube instructor i have been looking for. im looking forward to the rest of this playlist. thank you
Great training, thank you for putting this together!
Just found this video and subscribed! Super clear and informative. Nice job man!
maybe a stupid question, but where do I see where is wind coming from?
you can contact ATIS through the ATC menu, they will give you things like Wind, visibility
Lick your finger and stick it out the window.
In addition to ATIS as someone else said, some airports will have a wind sock to show you direction. That’s easier from the ground though so ATIS is the better approach.
you can look at the metar and taf online or hear to the atis
Awesome tutorials, they have helped me so much. SUBSCRIBED!!! Quick question, just curious to your graphical settings. The scenery looks great, but the runways seem a little......off. Thanks!
Super usefull. You are a great teacher. Well done!
These are golden videos!
Would be cool to have a traffic patern video with the TBM including all the numbers for power, speed, flaps etc.
Forget the numbers. Get the feeling!
Straight forward
Nice landing
Clean commentary
Nice vid bud

Yes I've noticed that too. I just have to remember to check the power after unpausing. Shouldn't be too long before this bug is fixed.
@@chrisshepherd3361 yeah, I've lost control of my plane so many times now.
Great video series!
fantastic, very helpful . . really enjoying this game at the moment! Great tutorial, much better than the one in-game :D

Very nice explained, very useful. For my taste you talk little bit to fast though.
trynna get as much information as possible :D
What exactly do you use to brake? I know I can reverse thurst, but how can I apply brakes without mapping it to a key so its instantly 100% brake pressure
Good job
How do you find out the wind direction?
When you say reset the altimeter by pressing B, when am I supposed to do that?
Press D, not B
Great videos how you paused the plane to make atchatments ?
Great Video again!!
Is setting the DI heading bug to that of the runway when I'm taking off to do a circuit a good idea? This helps me visualise those 90-degree leg turns as the heading bug lines up with those 90-degree fixed outer triangles of the DI.
When in the pattern do you pull the carburetor heat?
Thanks! Please do one of these ILS series but using an small craft with autopilot
You mean like this... th-cam.com/video/D7hCMs3F07w/w-d-xo.html
@@thecorporatepilotdad aren't you a bit fast for flaps
@@chemiegamerpeter1326 No. Up to 10 degrees of flap can be used up to 110 knots. Beyond that, 85 knots for beyond 10 degrees of flap.

Please do a landing on a 320neo! I can land the Cessna but can't for the life of me figure out the 320!
but how do you know the wind direction? haven't figured that out
In the Cessna 152 I think the only way to find out is to tune into the local ATIS to get a weather report. Fancier planes can directly tell you.
Are you talking about any specific video at around 1:15?
Can please you do a video for airliners?
