Me: tries differential braking in tail dragger *put right foot in* Plane: does the hokey pokey and turns itself around Me: “so that’s what it’s all about”
Brilliant, 74 years old and never done gaming. I was given a 'sit in Spitfire ' for my birthday so I thought I must do some research. I've stumbled on numerous videos on the Spitfire linked to flight simulators. Blown away with what is available in simulators. I'll stop the waffle, I found your tutorials absolutely brilliant, so I'm starting to put together my package so I can 'fly' .You have another fan. Stay safe
Never to old to enjoy but if your budget and eye sight is good then i would recommend practice then think about buying a VR it is the nearest to getting in to the real experience I am 63 year old and enjoyed a real flight sim in a 757 for one and half hrs got home and got on to my flight sim just using the monitor but it was not the same so i purchased the Oculus Rift s VR head set and i was in dreamland it is though you are in the cockpit fantastic to see how far these sims have come MSF2020 is now my choice of sim. l am also going to buy the Spitfire wen it is released Happy flying .
This brings back memories of my first lesson. It was at a small uncontrolled field, and the instructor told me to taxi around for a few minutes. A few years later I had a weeklong vacation in the airplane, where I flew a lot and did not drive at all. When I got back I caught myself trying to steer the car out of the parking spot with my feet.
I haven't even finished the video yet and you have already answered so many questions especially how to turn in the air using the peddles and yoke at the same time.
2 years later and still informative and desirable to complete. Some videos you start to lose interest but this was a good pace, covered a variety of topics and the information applies to in Flight Sim and in an aircraft. Thank you for the content!
Got my PPL in 1978 and simming for over 3 decades. I think I am going to get the MS2020. Looks really nice for VFR flying. Anyone getting into sims should think about getting a set of rudder pedals. Makes all the difference in the world, especially when working on crosswind landings. Enjoy your videos. One of my favorite sim aircraft I fly in the P3D sim, is the Majestic Q400.
Just bought this flight sim and also bought a C182 to fly around in. Hopefully this "game" will help me be a better pilot faster. Thanks for your time and help Emilie!
Emilie, I have done four introductory flights but I've never brought it together for me to continue to get the PPL. On one of my intro flights I got a crash course in taxiing because the instructor had a pullover jacket on that he decided to take off while we were on the taxi way. Of course he got tangled up when taking the thing off. I brought the aircraft to a stop and held the brakes while he got it untangled. When he saw that I handled that he asked me if I wanted to try taxiing and I said "sure". He saw that I knew what was needed so he directed me to just short of the runway and he took it from there. There was something about his demeanor that just instilled confidence in me. I would have loved to continued training with him, but my contract expired and I had to move. I get that same vibe from you. I'll bet you were a great instructor! Thanks for these videos. PS. I have a cat that has a white collar, all four white boots, white down his chest, a white dot on his nose and the rest of him is black. His name is Tux.
I've seen many videos on learning to fly since I decided to get my pilots license, this is hands down the first video, where I left feeling a sense of direction and foundational knowledge to adequately put my head into a pilot perspective. Thank you!
Just came across your videos and love them, I have no experience at all in aviation but am hooked watching your videos, you have a great way of explaining things , keep up the good work and keep the videos coming, good luck with your career and I hope you get what you want from it👍
I just started my PPL a few weeks back and on yesterday's flight I felt really disconnected to the aircraft. Towards the end, my instructor dimmed down the G1000 display so I couldn't see it and wow it made a huge difference. Love the point you made again at the end of your video about looking less at the instruments at first. Going to try the printout method to help memorize how things visually look.
Thumbs up soon as I saw the cat. Never really thought about being a cat person (only person on my work team without one for years) but now I have an all black and magpies cats. They've grown on me
I ended up watching this video cus I just got an email from Microsoft promoting the flight simulator game wich it really attracted my attention very much, me been a professional class A truck driver for many years I have found this video very helpful even do I don't know anything about flying nor much about planes but I feel like I can learn a lot and little by little how to at least use or play this simulator it might take me forever but I'm pretty sure that I will enjoy it to the max just by having an instructor with lots of patience to explain the basics ( and so attractive too, got to say it ) like you PILOT EMILIE,,, thank you so much for your wonderful smile and attitude 🤗
After learning these fundamentals, I hit a wall for a while and just did free flying and sightseeing. And I wasn't interested that much in using airports. THEN. I discovered flight patterns and the importance of them at airports!!!!! And now its so much fun using airports! Planning departures and arrivals that use the patterns is extremely useful and interesting. And my point is, that learning the patterns, for some reason, sparked much more of a passion in me for the sim. And the realistic aspect of it. As opposed to just doing free whatever flying. I'm much more interested in realism now, and the sim is funner that way. Because now I know how to fly around airports appropriately. I loved learning that!
This video is exactly what I was looking for but having a hard time finding. You do a great job explaining the basics to someone that's knows nothing about flying. Thank you...
I am impressed with your positiveness. You inspire future Pilots and keep us entertained ! We are Pilots through you! Those who haven't flown will one day fly because of you .

I always want to comment however my mind can’t choose which thought to express. You are wonderful to look at, brilliant to listen to and fun to be around. More please.
The built in tutorials leave alot to be desired so this is actually nice to have. Them not explaining that you want to let the yolk return to nutural is something that is surprising
Pilot Emilie, I loved your class. It was so informative for me since I never had any lessons on flying. I learned about Pitch Up, Pitch Down, Lateral Left and Right, Yawing Veritical and how it is controlled by the Rudder in Tail. Learned about Elevators for Pitching. Pulling back on Throttle while braking and applying the parking brake. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this, this is just what I was looking for, and I found a quality video I can learn a lot from. I'm gonna share this. big like and gj!
Best advice for taxing is to focus 100 m in front of aircraft rather than directly in front and remember adding power the aircraft will pull automatically to the left
I use the same type of braking on tractors. The brake pedal is split for the front wheels. So if you have to make really tight turns, you would use the corresponding brake of the direction you are turning. Interesting.
A long time ago, my sister and I got to fly in vintage WW2 planes. Specifically a Boeing Stearman and a T-6. We even got to fly the plane. Of course, the real pilot handled the rudder pedals and ailerons, but we got to hold the stick for a few minutes and just fly level.
Thanks for the video! I have already done the basic tutorials in game, but watching your explanations in addition really helps. I have actually been taking notes of the different movements/axis and the different attitudes! Well done, will definitely check out the next tutorials
i'm just gonna put this here real quick... I'm 36, I'm a mechanic, I have never even flown as a passenger but I've been watching a lot of videos of people fixing up old planes lately, and thought, hey, it'd be fun to get a flight simulator, i'm not much into games but i have a high power pc and that could be fun.. right? I'm 36 years old and 3:50 into this video and just realized how much flight simulators have changed since 1994. Those of you old enough might understand my shock here LOL. WOW. It looks like a real plane! I guess it would, but wow! I really need to get out from under my rock more LOL!
I think your approach to presenting all this is perfect. The language is void of lingo and jargon that some may understand but others not so much. Most of the time when listening to other real pilots, especially the military guys, talk about anything they inevitably use words and phrases that are simple and common to them but not us. You don't insult anyone's intelligence but still keep it all clear and relatable. I also think the pacing is slow enough for everyone to keep up but not beat a particular point to death either. Also, no matter where anyone is at in their experience at flying it never hurts to go back over the basics as taught by someone else because I almost always pick up something new to me or I somehow get a better understanding of something that I thought I had down solid. Single most important lesson in anything is probably "never stop learning". Very well done. I will definitely be checking out your other videos. Oh and I subbed too. ;)
Ninja should have his own channel, called 'Cat in the Cockpit' or 'The Cockpit Cat' or 'Ninja the Co-pilot Cat'. Absolutely loving your videos, very educational, thank you!
Great stuff. Only flown MSFS 2020 for about 14 hours, never used any other sims, done several of the built in tutorials, but this basic attitude stuff is exactly what I need to get better. Plus my joystick is arriving in a couple of days (am crashing and stalling too often with just keyboard and mouse, ouch), so that will help me in applying these absolutely necessary concepts. Thank you Emily! Not all of us are veterans; looking forward to seeing more of your foundation videos.
Great beginners video. My new gaming computer just showed up so will hopefully be online in the next couple days. Live out in the country so might take a day to download 127gb 😀. Can’t wait to start doing some flying. It would be great to have a video on airport traffic patterns and how to transition into the different phases of flight in a Cessna 152 from crosswind, downwind, base, to final. Keep up the great videos.
Thx Emilie for your tips ... i enjoy every video here from germany and can say it will help alot, because you walked through such a training and you knows what to teach and how. If we later come to chart reading and such stuff im sure i will learn very much from your tutorial videos. Keep up the good work and take care and healthy. :)
Thank you so much for these videos! I dream of becoming a pilot and I will be hopefully starting flight school soon and so training in Flight Simulator 2020 helps me a ton.
After watching your video I realize that while I have been having some great flights I have been flying backwards - keeping an eye on the instruments to make sure the aircraft is behaving how I want and looking outside for confirmation. Thanks for all the tips to help me unlearn the bad habits I have managed to acquire in the last few weeks!
That was a really nice foundation. I’ll bet your students loved you back in your CFI days. You have a very “gentle” teaching method. Well done CFI Emilie!
@@Pilotemilie ...not sure where you “are” these days with your airline but could flight instructing be a temporary option, assuming you’re still current?
Thank you so much for taking the time to do this. They need to forget their tutorial and just provide a link in the sim to your videos and call it a day.
Just what I needed for the winter - glad I discovered this channel Emilie - thanks for this. Love that you're willing to teach, show that you're real with the occasional oops... can't wait to get as half as good.
Since my young age, I have always been attracted by the airplanes. Each flight, as passenger of course, was a great excitement. At the end of my high school, I wanted to become a pilot. But my destiny decided otherwise. I became an IT Analyst. I enjoyed combat flight simulator games during my teen age, middle of 1990-s. At that time there were so many interesting titles, like JANE's combat simulation series, Novalogic, and so on. Years had gone, I am too old, I think for the real pilot lessons, but thanks to the technology advancement, we have those realistic flight simulator, moreover, with great TH-cam lessons ffrom the real pilots. So, I decided to try myself in flight games once again. Subscribed to the channel, And excited to learn new skills.Who know, maybe for the next life :)
An idea: I would love to see a short tutorial about something that is much more common for flight sims rather than real flying: I will start at a random airport of interest and fly around an area for fun but then want to find a nearby place to land and set up at least basic way points and flight plan for that landing. I have pieced together parts of it but keep stumbling. Sort of a 'tips for casual players'. Similarly, figuring out how to use the maps to figure out exactly where you are and what options for landing may be nearby without using external maps or apps (you mention that some craft in the game have better maps but I still feel the need to tab out of the game and find information frequently). I think you could do a great tutorial here, especially as a professional pilot learning flight sims.
If you are flying a big plane you just need a flight plan and you go from point A to B. With general aviation you can find some information on the GPS (start pressing buttons to know they do) ou use the VFR map from the sim. Usually the pilot does some research prior to the flight to know where to land. If you just want to find somewhere close to you in the sims use the VFR map and do a circuit close to the airfield, flying VFR usually are just looking out the window to the runaway and approaching.
I'd say check out P. Gatcomb's videos on VOR approaches and stuff, there's a lot of different tips in those videos talking about how to set up waypoints and stuff mid flight in the GPS systems.
@@Hockeyguy8541 actually check all of his videos. He's quite good explaining things for people (like me) who never had ever been in an airplane as a pilot. The only down point of his channel is no ninja in the videos, but you will get over it.
Loved this episode. Thank you! This is exactly what I was hoping for... Starting from the basics/foundation and gradually building from there to "master" flight sim skills and hopefully then taking up real flying lessons at a nearby airport to get basic piloting certification (as a hobby). Again thank you et merci beaucoup! :-)
This video was perfect for a newbie like myself. I'm just starting to learn about the wonderful world of flight, and this really helped. I'm looking forward to your other new episodes. And yes, Ninja is "so dang cute"! :)
I liked the video. Good basic instruction is hard to find. I find the hardest part of the flight sim is the flight planning. Especially in Canada as there seem to be fewer online resources. I have seen a lot of videos of people going from point A to point B and they just seem to know what all of the waypoints are going to be. It would be nice to see this level of tutorial on that subject sometime in the future. Keep up the good work.
This video is perfect, I can’t wait for this series, I understand the basics of flight sims, but things like VFR, IFR etc are so confusing, so going back to the most basic of basics is perfect, thank you 🙏
Thank you for this great video. I hope these tutorial series end up teaching us real in depth stuff like programming the FMC in an airliner and how to use it in flight for example. But yeah first things first. Hope you will continue making this content! Happy flying, cheers from the Netherlands. 😉✌🏽
Emilie, you have the most dazzling blue eyes and a command of ATC that I will probably never have, but I am working on it, starting an RT class next week! Cheers, Marc
Love this video ❤️ and look forward to the whole series, and more advanced contents like how to check the approach plate, autopilot, ILS, ... all of them 😁😍🤪
I am such a fan! Of that beauty! Somebody kickass hire this Angel to fly your Lear Jet! She's extremely skilled and extremely intelligent. Taxiing was the hardest part of flying for me to get personally. Not just the line up feel and over correcting but the radio communication and the alphabet and numeric connection as to the correct path to travel! Another kickass video dear heart tytyty Blessings eternally 💫 Namaste ✨💖
Thank you for sharing your substantial knowledge and skills in such an accomplished way. Those of us starting out with MSFS very much appreciate the work you and a few others are putting into these tutorials.
I just started on Microsoft FSX the other day and could not understand for the life of me why each time I tried rolling the plane had this tendency of pitching upwards and making me basically fall from the sky. Until I just randomly found your channel with this video being my very first and BAM! you just mentioned that VERY same phenomenon for me and explained it so beautifully. Thank you so much. I have just gotten into aviation and was using FSX to test if it's sth I might like. So you just encouraged a young hatchling in the world of GA who may have quit 😂. Liked & subscribed. Can't wait for more tutorials to keep learning! 🤙
Thanks for doing these lessons. Learning the flight simulator is actually tougher than learning to fly. I lost the ability to obtain my private pilots license in 2004, but was taking lessons a few years prior, was in a 141 program flying a 150 until another student crashed it so jumped into a 172. Since getting my medical would be very difficult now along with the very high cost of lessons, I've set up MS FS 2020 on my home computer and enjoying it a lot. Thanks again for your time and effort to produce these videos. By the way, 4 thirty-two inch monitors with Nvidia graphics and MS FS 2020 is awesome. I actually got a little queezy flying!
Since I know its going to take me a while to afford a setup, I am hoping to hold out long enough for all the bugs to be worked out with the program and VR.
Really great video, I've never really been interested in flying or being in a flight simulator but will be this weekend, had no idea what to expect, this was awesome!
We all love Emille, thanks for the tips. Just wish that I had found my love of flight, before now. Now I'm in my twilight years. Keep smiling, keep up the great content and I just hope that you get back in the sky soon.....
Never too late. Most of these sims weren't around when we were younger, and flying itself was out of the reach of many of us. A whole world to explore!
Dang, LOVE the kat 😄💚😎 Funny, i have just today Bought exactly the same Youstick you have (before i saw this video), looks Great, but bigger than i thought ! 😄
I got MFS2020 last April but only started getting into this now since I’m on break. This has been very helpful! Thank you so much Pilot Emilie and hello from Quebec!
That telltale Canadian accent creeps out on certain words. I am sure you know the ones lol. Great video. I will definitely be watching more. It shows you were a flight instructor and a good one!
Thanks Emilie that was brilliant! Despite lots of years trying to shoot things down in IL2 etc so many basic things I was misunderstanding - from taxiing to staring at the instrument banks constantly. From the tutes in MSFS had no idea of the concepts of the basic attitude and bank settings. Much appreciated.
Nice!! Thinking about starting with a flightsim, but knowing nothing about flying I do need a tutorial like this! (Since I am dutch and English is not my native language, Ik like the fact that the quality and pronounciation of the tutorial is good and clear!)
GREAT VIDEO you have the basics very well explained. This should be mandatory viewing for everyone tryin to fly a sim On an unrelated note I have to confess I'm a great GA pilot but terrible at taxiing
Hi Emiilie!!! I don't see what screen size and resolution you're using (1080p, or 1440p), that would be nice to know!!! Thanks in advance. Love your professionalim in those videos, absolutely top notch. Keep them coming!!!
I love it, I have a long way to go to be able to afford a computer up to the task and the gear. But I will be watching anyway, hopefully it will make it easier when I can afford it.

After watching your video I realize that while I have been having some great flights I have been flying backwards - keeping an eye on the instruments to make sure the aircraft is behaving how I want and looking outside for confirmation. Thanks for all the tips to help me unlearn the bad habits I have managed to acquire in the last few weeks!
That was a really nice foundation. I’ll bet your students loved you back in your CFI days. You have a very “gentle” teaching method. Well done CFI Emilie!
Thanks so much Peter!! I truly loved teaching, so I appreciate this!
@@Pilotemilie ...not sure where you “are” these days with your airline but could flight instructing be a temporary option, assuming you’re still current?
@@petertarantelli Not current unfortunately and all those jobs are taken by people who have more right to be there than I do!
@@Pilotemilie understand...keep doing what you’re doing!
Thank you so much for taking the time to do this. They need to forget their tutorial and just provide a link in the sim to your videos and call it a day.
You're very welcome!
Just what I needed for the winter - glad I discovered this channel Emilie - thanks for this. Love that you're willing to teach, show that you're real with the occasional oops... can't wait to get as half as good.
You start class we all pay attention. You are a certified instructor because you can train on the real deal and or on the sim :)
Agreed...
Since my young age, I have always been attracted by the airplanes. Each flight, as passenger of course, was a great excitement.
At the end of my high school, I wanted to become a pilot. But my destiny decided otherwise. I became an IT Analyst.
I enjoyed combat flight simulator games during my teen age, middle of 1990-s. At that time there were so many interesting titles, like JANE's combat simulation series, Novalogic, and so on.
Years had gone, I am too old, I think for the real pilot lessons, but thanks to the technology advancement, we have those realistic flight simulator, moreover, with great TH-cam lessons ffrom the real pilots.
So, I decided to try myself in flight games once again. Subscribed to the channel, And excited to learn new skills.Who know, maybe for the next life :)
An idea: I would love to see a short tutorial about something that is much more common for flight sims rather than real flying: I will start at a random airport of interest and fly around an area for fun but then want to find a nearby place to land and set up at least basic way points and flight plan for that landing. I have pieced together parts of it but keep stumbling. Sort of a 'tips for casual players'. Similarly, figuring out how to use the maps to figure out exactly where you are and what options for landing may be nearby without using external maps or apps (you mention that some craft in the game have better maps but I still feel the need to tab out of the game and find information frequently). I think you could do a great tutorial here, especially as a professional pilot learning flight sims.
If you are flying a big plane you just need a flight plan and you go from point A to B. With general aviation you can find some information on the GPS (start pressing buttons to know they do) ou use the VFR map from the sim. Usually the pilot does some research prior to the flight to know where to land. If you just want to find somewhere close to you in the sims use the VFR map and do a circuit close to the airfield, flying VFR usually are just looking out the window to the runaway and approaching.
I'd say check out P. Gatcomb's videos on VOR approaches and stuff, there's a lot of different tips in those videos talking about how to set up waypoints and stuff mid flight in the GPS systems.
@@Hockeyguy8541 actually check all of his videos. He's quite good explaining things for people (like me) who never had ever been in an airplane as a pilot. The only down point of his channel is no ninja in the videos, but you will get over it.
on the garmin click nrst (nearest) and remeber the top airport. click on the arrow (direct) and input it. Then activate
Loved this episode. Thank you! This is exactly what I was hoping for... Starting from the basics/foundation and gradually building from there to "master" flight sim skills and hopefully then taking up real flying lessons at a nearby airport to get basic piloting certification (as a hobby). Again thank you et merci beaucoup! :-)
This video was perfect for a newbie like myself. I'm just starting to learn about the wonderful world of flight, and this really helped. I'm looking forward to your other new episodes. And yes, Ninja is "so dang cute"! :)
I liked the video. Good basic instruction is hard to find. I find the hardest part of the flight sim is the flight planning. Especially in Canada as there seem to be fewer online resources. I have seen a lot of videos of people going from point A to point B and they just seem to know what all of the waypoints are going to be. It would be nice to see this level of tutorial on that subject sometime in the future. Keep up the good work.
This video is perfect, I can’t wait for this series, I understand the basics of flight sims, but things like VFR, IFR etc are so confusing, so going back to the most basic of basics is perfect, thank you 🙏
Glad you enjoy it Richard!
Hi Emilie, just added a Logitech X56 Hotas to my setup. Looking forward to flying with you on your next group flight.
Thankyou I enjoy learning new things from an old Aussie
Wow she is such a good teacher. If I could afford flight school I would totally go to her flight school
Been looking for a channel like yours. Thank you. Looking forward to go over more of your flight sim content.
Hi Emilie, I just came across your TH-cam channel. All I can say is you’re a blessing. Thank you for sharing it’s appreciated...
Excellent video! Thank you for taking the time to do this. Would love to see more content like this. Thanks again!
Hello from France
it's always a pleasure to watch your videos.
Thanks 😉
Thanks for watching!
First time viewer. I haven’t started with My pilot training yet. But this lesson was great for me. I have done one intro instructional glight
Thank you for this great video. I hope these tutorial series end up teaching us real in depth stuff like programming the FMC in an airliner and how to use it in flight for example. But yeah first things first. Hope you will continue making this content!
Happy flying, cheers from the Netherlands. 😉✌🏽
I hope so too!
Emilie, you have the most dazzling blue eyes and a command of ATC that I will probably never have, but I am working on it, starting an RT class next week! Cheers, Marc
Love this video ❤️ and look forward to the whole series, and more advanced contents like how to check the approach plate, autopilot, ILS, ... all of them 😁😍🤪
Thanks for the basic flight lessons, it would be helpful in my PPL training next year.
Great video! Thank you so much for sharing! I hope to get MSFS2020 whenever down the road. Stay safe and keep flying.
I am such a fan! Of that beauty!
Somebody kickass hire this Angel to fly your Lear Jet!
She's extremely skilled and extremely intelligent.
Taxiing was the hardest part of flying for me to get personally.
Not just the line up feel and over correcting but the radio communication and the alphabet and numeric connection as to the correct path to travel!
Another kickass video dear heart tytyty
Blessings eternally 💫
Namaste ✨💖
.. and gorgeous
Thank you for sharing your substantial knowledge and skills in such an accomplished way. Those of us starting out with MSFS very much appreciate the work you and a few others are putting into these tutorials.
I just started on Microsoft FSX the other day and could not understand for the life of me why each time I tried rolling the plane had this tendency of pitching upwards and making me basically fall from the sky. Until I just randomly found your channel with this video being my very first and BAM! you just mentioned that VERY same phenomenon for me and explained it so beautifully. Thank you so much. I have just gotten into aviation and was using FSX to test if it's sth I might like. So you just encouraged a young hatchling in the world of GA who may have quit 😂. Liked & subscribed. Can't wait for more tutorials to keep learning! 🤙
Get the flight simulator 2020... Fsx is old and outdated
Thanks for doing these lessons. Learning the flight simulator is actually tougher than learning to fly. I lost the ability to obtain my private pilots license in 2004, but was taking lessons a few years prior, was in a 141 program flying a 150 until another student crashed it so jumped into a 172. Since getting my medical would be very difficult now along with the very high cost of lessons, I've set up MS FS 2020 on my home computer and enjoying it a lot. Thanks again for your time and effort to produce these videos. By the way, 4 thirty-two inch monitors with Nvidia graphics and MS FS 2020 is awesome. I actually got a little queezy flying!
Since I know its going to take me a while to afford a setup, I am hoping to hold out long enough for all the bugs to be worked out with the program and VR.
Not only did you explain this so I understood, I didn't even know any of this was a thing in the first place. Thanks! Can't wait to get msfs going!
Really great video, I've never really been interested in flying or being in a flight simulator but will be this weekend, had no idea what to expect, this was awesome!
Rapid channel growth, Pilot Emilie 👍🏻😀Another great video!
I know nothing about flying, but your tutorials are great. BTW, love your accent.
We all love Emille, thanks for the tips. Just wish that I had found my love of flight, before now. Now I'm in my twilight years. Keep smiling, keep up the great content and I just hope that you get back in the sky soon.....
Never too late. Most of these sims weren't around when we were younger, and flying itself was out of the reach of many of us. A whole world to explore!
Dang, LOVE the kat 😄💚😎
Funny, i have just today Bought exactly the same Youstick you have (before i saw this video), looks Great, but bigger than i thought ! 😄
Thank you! The taxi way explanations was something I was looking for.
Oh wow this a nice little detail on flying.
Thanks for sharing your instructions.
Thanks so much for making this! Really helpful. Appreciate your time doing this!
I got MFS2020 last April but only started getting into this now since I’m on break. This has been very helpful! Thank you so much Pilot Emilie and hello from Quebec!
I learned something useful from this video.
Thank you. Thumbs up.
Looks like Ninja is itching to get at the controls! Great video.
That telltale Canadian accent creeps out on certain words. I am sure you know the ones lol. Great video. I will definitely be watching more. It shows you were a flight instructor and a good one!
These are great fun videos, but the highlight is always when we get the word 'aboot'. Thanks!
😂
Thanks Emilie that was brilliant! Despite lots of years trying to shoot things down in IL2 etc so many basic things I was misunderstanding - from taxiing to staring at the instrument banks constantly. From the tutes in MSFS had no idea of the concepts of the basic attitude and bank settings. Much appreciated.
Thanks! I appreciate you taking the time to make this video! Especially for an aspiring pilot! Very useful information!
Nice!! Thinking about starting with a flightsim, but knowing nothing about flying I do need a tutorial like this! (Since I am dutch and English is not my native language, Ik like the fact that the quality and pronounciation of the tutorial is good and clear!)
I just bought this game as it was on sale. It's so challenging but I'm looking forward to learning to fly.
GREAT VIDEO you have the basics very well explained. This should be mandatory viewing for everyone tryin to fly a sim
On an unrelated note I have to confess I'm a great GA pilot but terrible at taxiing
Great upload again! Amazing work! Also very happy to see your channel grow fast!
Thanks a ton! We are getting there together!
Awesome, a free lesson from a flight instructor...
Pretty neat joystick you got there.
Always like people who have pet.
Hi Emiilie!!! I don't see what screen size and resolution you're using (1080p, or 1440p), that would be nice to know!!! Thanks in advance. Love your professionalim in those videos, absolutely top notch. Keep them coming!!!
I love it, I have a long way to go to be able to afford a computer up to the task and the gear. But I will be watching anyway, hopefully it will make it easier when I can afford it.
Great content! Please dont rush the textual inserts... For a starting non-native reader it takes somewhat more time to read what the text is saying
Thank you very much Emilie. I really hope you get back to real flying soon!
Excellent tutorial!
Even for experienced flight simmers, it is no harm to return to basics sometimes.
This was well-good. Got my T. Flight Hotas and my Xbox SX ready and waiting lol
Furiously making new crib sheets !! Another great video - Thanks Emilie !!
Yay! Thank you!
