12 Beginners Tips And Tricks Microsoft Flight Simulator Doesn't Tell You
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 พ.ค. 2024
- Asobo Studio have done something incredible with Microsoft Flight Simulator. The classic franchise's return has been a triumphant one, but at the same time, given how much granular control it offers in its authentic simulation and the staggering level of detail it displays, it's understandable that many - especially those not too familiar with the genre - might find the game a bit daunting, especially in the early goings.
Don't worry though- here, we've compiled a list of fourteen basic tips and tricks that should make your early hours with the game much smoother. - เกม
“So, third person takeoffs are way easier, everything is easier to see-“
*tailstrikes immediately*
GTA style. Go back to GTA.
i was thinking the same lol
I almost turned this off until you pointed out the tailstrike... Now I'm watching to hopefully remember to not click on this channel's videos.
@@joshuaphillips755 Yeah, hate to see them giving tips to beginners when their own piloting is bad.
And stalls
Really? Things it "doesn't tell you" and #1 is the Tutorial, which gets a big honking panel on the game's home screen? I can't wait for #3 The Sky Is Blue!
this video is the dumbest thing I've ever seen
😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is my kind of comment
Actually it isn’t 😁 it looks blue due to the atmospheric breaking of light… The same applies for the ocean… Grass is really green though… at least that’s what we were taught at school…. 😁
lol chill bro
4:37 Ryanair pilots be like: " *BUTTER* "
Hahaha...literally made my day
This is aimed at people who have never seen a airplane and flying is "magic"
My fav tip was to use a faster plane to travel long distances in less time.
He also missed the most obvious one. Finding that dam parking brake. You don't go anywhere if you can't find that.
Been training on the Cessna 172 float plane, it's under the yoke for all Cessna 172s.
Hotas thrustmaster- button nr 8, under your left thumb.
Your take off was insane. Clearly assists must have been on as you basically turned your plane into a helicopter.
Edit: jesus. As I finished typing this, I saw your landing. Christ.
These kind of videos are hard to watch. Why do they give tips to beginners if in the first place their piloting skills are pure shit.
Exactly
I would be so embarrased to post this video lol, I think his yoke is a potato.
Lmao
@@jcarrandson He's clearly not a flight simmer, because he's using his keyboard lmao
Well, you're making a video about tips for beginners, but you show bad piloting, planes satalling on takeoff, diving nose into the ground during landing, overspeeding, over-maneuvering, things that in real life will never happen, this is no GTA Game.
If you're new the best tip is:
1) Buy a Joystick (most recommended is Logitech 3D Pro, Cheap, Durable and has many controls for your plane and camera)
2) Be easy on the controls if you're using a controller, slow and soft movements, don't overcompensate if you're plane is not going in the direction you want, and USE YOUR TRIM, so you can relax and stop fighting the plane.
3) Start watching actual aviation videos, this is a Flight SIMULATOR, go and watch how pilots do it in real life, watch channels like Aviation101 (Cessna), Steveo1Kenevo (BTM), Trent Palmer (Bush Planes), and try to simulate those real procedures in your sim, that's how it's meant to be played.
That way you'll inmerse yourself in this beautiful passion that is Aviation and maybe get inspired enough to become an actual Pilot.
Better content than the video. Thanks
Yeah because he thinks he's reviewing a game instead of a simulator
Yep, and there is an arcade mode for NON-sim players. I tried it, the plane flys itself just like the self-entitled need.
agree what a goofy video
Mr Juan sounds like a try hard. Yeah its a sim. But at the end of the days its still a game. Go join the army and be all you can be.
"take off's are easier in 3rd person" proceeds to shave half the tail off on the runway
You thinking you're launching a rocket?
lol
As a pilot I cringed when he landed at 96 knts 😂😂
He had shells in his yoke don’t blame him 😂😔
Too fast or too slow?
@@Dbuns7 depending the aircraft, usually slow
@@Dbuns7 In that Cessna 172 it was to fast…. Typically a plane like that lands between 60-75kts
Spines are overrated
Number 4: You don’t actually have to find your house manually. The search map accepts latitude and longitude, so you can set your house as a destination, just like a landmark.
this is the only tip I’ve actually learned now from this page including the video
Thanks! I wonder if this also works for finding Easter eggs
Thank u so much
Actual tip: don't use active pause if you have damage enabled. At least with turboprops and jets. It's the best way to end your flight with a black screen.
How do you make it so you can see a plane crash like landing hard on the runway but it said I crashed and I had to restart
@@unsealedhades76 change your camera angle with the 2 squares on ur controller
holy shit these take offs make me feel like a pro
3:28 👀 wtf was that!
“...It’s easier to take off in 3rd person...”
That tail strike, though.
*STALL* *STALL* *STALL*
Lmao, yanking that yoke all the way back.
@@Chromiumg He forgot to make sure the ladies were actually watching before he pulled his wheelie! Lol
He needed the assist to get off the ground.
Oh wow, where to start... okay, to begin with, the tutorials are... standard at best, but set you up to fail with a sky high airport elevation in a hot area to take off from and starting you far too high on the landing mission. The others are... serviceable though. I agree, Asobo has hit it out of the park with this one. Now... when you take off, gentle pressure back. The way you yanked tha plane into the air you probably ripped off most of the tail because you can see it smack into the ground. gentle pressure, one notch of flaps and the plane will want to leave the earth on it's own. Same thing with landing. 90 knots in a cessna a good landing does not make. 60 minimum, beginner tip: if you have to force the plane down, you shouldn't be landing you should be going around. Basically landing is decending gently and dropping off the speed enough that the plane just stops flying a few inches above the runway. That poor cessna would be in a smoking crater on the runway with that hard push. Generally anytime gauges are blinking red it's a bad thing.. I'm not trying to be mean, just pointing out some observations. It's a simulator, not a game you can sit down and just learn on your own. There are pilot's lessons for a reason. If you want to get good with the game, watch some videos on the basics of how to fly a real one and then try to emulate that. We all have to start somewhere, glad you're enjoying the sim.
The tutorials and flight lessons in this sim absolutely SUCK. Unnecessary. Fligh Sim X seemed to have the best flight lessons.
Definitely recommend using a joystick, using mouse and keyboard is horrendous(unless I’m just that bad)
not just you. looks like they didn't try to make it work with a keyboard
Have you tried with an Xbox controller?
@@BlueOvals24 yes, I bought one just because of this game, it works great
@@ojivlogs Great, was worried I'd have to invest in a hotas which wouldn't be ideal as this will be my first flight sim
@@BlueOvals24 I have played this Sim with keyboard, Xbox controller and a joystick. Keyboard is bad. Controller is ok but after some hour you get tired. Lastly, the joystick is far superior. You get more immersion and better controls for your airplane to control. If you are new to the game, you don't need HOTAS at all. All you need is a Joystick and the good beginner choice is Logitech Extreme 3D Pro. I bought it for 30 bucks.
Fair warning: you can still stall while in active pause which is beyond stupid since it'll be game over
Because it’s still active genius
@@xnopyt22 - Another error in FS2020. Pause is suppose to "pause" events. Definitely you are not the genius!
I came back after 3 hours and same thing happen to me
@@LanielPhoto it is a live pause. So it doesn't pause the whole game only your planes movement.
@@LanielPhoto its not a normal pause, like he said, its ACTIVE pause, so maybe you aren't the genius either. Simmer down
First time I'm playing Flight Simulator. I'm starting to feel I started off on the wrong foot: keyboard and mouse. After reading comments I realised I'm the most dedicated human being. How have I managed to land bigger planes with keyboard. I can confirm it's very challenging playing with keyboard and mouse. Successfully landed a Boeing 747, haven't land the 320 Neo yet.
As a kid I would always play FSX with a mouse and keyboard.
Here’s a tip on finding your house or specific place. On the flap before starting flight, you can switch to satellite view and find it there first, then if you click on where your house or the building would be on the map, it will create a waypoint to there and you can “set as destination” and it will point you straight to it when flying.
What is the fun of that lol
@@eligomez4434 it’s for people like me who don know which direction to go
Pro tip:
1. GeneralSettings
2. Audio
3. Music off/ 0%
4. Spotify premium and play danger zone
The downfall you might stall or nosedive to the ground and die.
3:29 Tailstrike!
More like acctually that was such a horrible takeoff that they should have lost their tail.
Number 3. You do realise you can turn the plane around...and fly past the landmark you just spawned at?
Hahaha fucking el I was thinking that too
I was wondering if you couldn't turn the plane around or something lol
A nice feature for long flights and you don’t want to cruise for hours, you can skip ahead to any part of the flight. You can skip right to the beginning of the decent or final approach.
4:7 om that landing! it burned my eyes! looked like a gta landing! XD
Flying a virtual plane to see a satellite image of the top of my apartment that I am literally sitting in watching this video. I believe we've reached a new low as a species.
I think you've misspelt peak.
What's the alternative, tho?
That is exactly what I thought until I tried one. 1) It is a great method to familiarise yourself with flight procedures if you are an anxious flyer 2) Most of us will never see the plane cockpit - here you can see those in detail 3) Some opinions pointed out that pilots like this sort of programs, as it allows them to try the limits of planes they will never reach in real life 4) Remember that every big commercial airline pilot initially trains the flight in ....simulator. 5) It caught the interest of my very young daughter - she enjoyed "flying" solo from start to (crash)landing. Perhaps one day she will become a pilot? 6) Paid extras to the game - recently one was designed to fund the rebuilding of the Antonov plane (the biggest ever one), so like-minded people can unite in a shared goal It does open some possibilities and in my opinion, is a much better way of spending time than playing Doom. Give it a try.
If you see this and you're wondering whether to give this game a shot, do it. I never played any flight sims before this so i was in the same boat, but trust me, as soon as you see the sunset over the pyramids in egypt in real time, you'll understand why this game is a must-play.
The sunset over the pyramids lol.
"Taking off in 3rd person is typically easier!"
Proceeds to tail strike and climb out at such a high AoA that he stalls
can't wait for mods, even Microsoft Flight Simulator X have a space shuttle DLC and interplanetary travel mods with spaceship.
heres a tip you missed: If you take off, you eventually have to land.
These aren't really tips chief, its common sense
After viewing footage of your flying, Spirit Airlines would love to offer you a job!
Imagine a driving game with this sort of scale and technology 😳😳
Ive had that idea for years. I always thought it would be so bad ass to be able to select a region to upload grand theft auto type missions
A gta 😮
What can you tell us about the type of computer equipment to use for the best results with Microsoft Flight Simulator. I see much about how great the program is but it seems impossible for a new comer to figure out what it takes to run the program smoothly and with the best performance. We know the program is great but what will we need to make it run the best?
Just an added tip on finding your house or any other location. You can input GCS coordinates in the search bar. So if you know the latitude and longitude of where you are going (like your house), the game will make a custom marker that you can use just like a point of interest. If you are looking for GCS codes then Google Maps is great for it because you can point or find any place on the globe and easily get the coordinates that you are looking for.
Good tip for finding stuff. I don’t know how you wouldn’t know where your own house was though. You just need to follow the roads, rivers etc you normally travel on.
@@mr8I7 VFR for sure works. When I first started flying around I did just that and found my house pretty quickly. Where I find the GCS coordinates helpful is finding landmarks that don't have a POI marker. The other night I spent an evening flying around European castles. I have never been to that part of the world and most of those don't have POI markers in the game. So I found the GCS method very helpful.
I just flew to my home city and found it like a boss
To find your house is easy: get the coordinates of your house from Google maps, then enter it into the world map and you can spawn at your house
That take-off vertical though.
I agree. It looked like a video game take off.
@@bobabooey4537because it is a video game
Don't use active pause with the auto pilot engaged - the aircraft becomes unstable when exiting the active pause
You can find the coordinates for your house or a certain location you want to fly over and put those coordinates in the search bar that's under the departure and arrival selection boxes so you don't have to fly around and try to find whatever it is manually.
Personally I’m interested in playing through *’Snowrunner’* before playing this (I want my CDL before I get my pilot license) 🤣👀
This is an excellent introduction video for anyone who has little or no knowledge about FS2020. Watch it. You'll enjoy it. But if you're a flight simmer with much experience with FSX, despite FS2020's vast improvement (over FSX) in the way scenery is displayed, there are going to be things that you as an experienced pilot will be much disappointed in and even irritated with.
(1) "You might find the game [to be] a bit daunting." An understatement if ever there was one. While FS2020 offers flying lessons, just like with FSX, FS2020 offers NO help in setting up the game. You've gotta figure that out (of which there are well over a hundred things that must be set up to make even one airplane flyable) for yourself from TH-cam tutorials (such as this one) created by people who bought the product before you did. Having prior knowledge of FSX may even complicate things for you as there are more and different things that have to be set up, too. While some airplanes are complete in their functionality and operate realistically (such as the Cessna 172 G1000), many are not. Press a button in these airplanes and you're likely to see the words "not implemented". I have every expectation that one day FS2020 will be an excellent flight simulator, but--at the moment--I see it as being only a 'game' in which to do some quite enjoyable 'virtual tourism'.
(2) As for 'virtual tourism' ..... While the WAY scenery is presented in FS2020 is a million times better than in FSX, scenery of built up (3-D enhanced) areas is NO MORE REAL than that of FSX. A correction I'll make is this: "If you get the urge to fly over to where your house should be", YOU WON'T FIND IT. Oh, you'll find a house on your property, but the house will definitely NOT look like your house. That's because the vast majority of buildings and houses (of which there are thousands of different very beautifully-created examples) are auto-generated scenery. For major cities like San Francisco and New York City for example, FS2020 does create the prominent real landmarks like the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State building, but while less-prominent buildings will certainly appear to be real, close inspection will reveal they are only approximations. One prominent thing they missed in NYC is the Verrazano Narrows bridge, which is a suspension bridge just like the Golden Gate. In FS2020, the bridge is shown merely as an ordinary concrete span bridge. New Yorkers are going to be disappointed--if not insulted.
(3) A most horrible presentation of natural scenery. While natural scenery such as mountains, the Grand Canyon, and the buttes of Monument Valley appear very realistic, water surface areas such as oceans and large lakes are shown as glass-smooth mirrors just like ponds. Not a ripple to be found! Consequently, cloud reflections on the water are as sharp and clear as the real clouds above. Sun reflections are blinding. This is very annoying as it is immediately recognizable as being nothing like real life. FS2020 should NEVER have been released with this major scenery flaw. While storms and cloud layers in which to fly or fly above are okay, it's best to do your sightseeing in ONLY totally cloudless skies.
Conclusion: If you have no previous experience with a flight sim, you're absolutely going to love FS2020--until you've flown it enough to be annoyed with the things I've mentioned. Over time (a LONG time I have to project) I think FS2020 will be a better FLIGHT SIMULATOR than FSX, but until then--while I'm more interested in expanding my skills as a pilot than only doing some nice sightseeing--I'm going to continue to spend most of my time on FSX.
Another thing that gravely concerns me is the amount of time it's going to take Osobo Studios to correct the bugs in FS2020. As a developer of many computer games and with what I suspect is a limited number of developers and support personnel, I think bug fixing in ALL their games is going to be much prolonged.
When I try to set the time, I only have 2 choices, about 6 AM and midnight, the slider will not allow any other settings. Any suggestions?
How do you change the controls to fly a King Air for 2 engines when the software is only setup for one prop and 2 engine JET?
I'm happy this is getting so much exposure... difficult to find the sim pilots with all these gamer channels hopping on the hype though. So many top 10s and unboxings lol. Pilot here clearly has gta experience.
Make way for the big boy simmer Robert you lowlife gamers!
@@endoflevelboss make way for the butthurt gamer
Hi, I was wondering if you can play this MFS in a laptop? Or will I need special hardware equipment to be able to play this MFS. I wanted to get it for my son (9 year old). He loves planes! He just has a laptop computer.
To find you house, convert the post code / zip code to a GPS longitude and latitude then search for it like you would a landmark on the flight planner screen...thank me later! :-)
What they don't tell you is that flying in easy mode is the best way to kill the game.
I played fsx for a long long time and I love the new sim but it is a bit overwhelming at times
Does anyone know how to change time in the bush series? Currently I'm on the Nevada portion and it's dark, I can't see anything which kind of defeats the whole purpose. You'd think there would be an easy way to move time forward but if there is I can't figure it out. I have an Xbox Series S if that helps.
I hope MSFS start to have study level AC like XP12. IT seems MSFS is good for graphics and XP12 is good for actual training. I have both.
“If your flying longer destinations, consider flying bigger jets, they’re faster.”
How can I restore the plane after Crash?
I often I lay on the back, can't move and only alt tab and close the whole game
It's funny, I didn't do anything he recommended my first time playing this. I just winged it, no pun intended. It took me a while of messing with the controller and a little bit of frustration to figure out which button did what. After I got the gist of taking off, I crashed like four or five times in a row trying to control and stabilize the plane in the air. I also went straight for one of the big airliners too.
Hello, how do I change the location of my aircraft from automatically in the runway right away? I want to park first at the general aviation parking to do the proper ATC communication please?
Zoom in on the airport you wish to depart from, and you'll be able to select spawn points on the ramp
Hey active pause is great!
Ok, but how do you activate it?
#FS2020 has some amazing tech behind it, 2Petabytes of real terrain data on whole planet. Live Weather. Live air traffic. Live players..
The worst part of being a new player is setting up your controller. I have a Saitek joystick and it had zero controls mapped to it. Going to each menu and trying to assign each axis is a daunting task, especially given the amount of options they provide. And I flew the Volocity copter straight to my condo and was surprised how accurate the neighborhood was detailed and the surrounding businesses. The strip malls and grocery is exactly where it should be, there's an Arby's a block away and it was right there. I was stunned. I also learned some things. The roads I thought were north-south are not really north south. They're skewed and actually curve. Impossible to see from the ground
Did you use the word 'daunting' because you picked up on it twice within the video? Never mind... you did.
@@bobabooey4537 And THIS is how you spend your time? Nitpicking worthless quotes and actually taking the time to print them on TH-cam? Wow. You are the definition of hopeless despair. I wish you luck. You will need all you can get
is there a way of making the planes feel arcade style like SUPER easy like the way you control a air plane in GTA 5 beacuse with the tutorials and the assist controlling a plane is almost impossible (keyboard) and would a controller fix this issue like xbox or ps4
First thing I done was find my house to my surprise it was pretty detailed definitely noticeable
Tell me, is there some easy way to determine if my computer has enough to run the software? I am NOT tech savvy enough to know my specs off the top of my head... thnx in advance...
People say the Avatar doesn’t matter. So much in fact that there isn’t a single dedicated video on TH-cam showing the options. I feel like this is the most glaring shortcoming in flight sim games. Speaking for myself I want immersion. I want it to be me in that plane. Or better yet me and however many friends I want to make and put in the plane to fill available seats. This is how you make an immersive experience. Will you please do a dedicated video on options for Avatars
How do you active pause?? I’ve tried everything
It's the "Pause Break" key on your keyboard. Some smaller keyboards may not have it, look in the top right of your keyboard
if you go to controls, click keyboard, then search for "active pause." Click the key thats assigned to it already, and change it to the space bar. Much easier that way
Yeah that would've been pretty cool if they actually told you how to do it in this video. Thank goodness for comments sections.
Ok so the active pause button doesn’t come pre mapped on your keyboard you have to go in and set the key bind
In MSF2020, how do I? :
1) Go into active pause?
2) Slew or change the simulation rate, making long trips short?
3) Change flaps or some settings? For example, in small planes, then I move the mouse over the flaps, click, I can change the flap setting. For some reason, this doesn't work in the heavy jets like the B747, A320neo, B787, etc.
4) Can you build flight routes in the FMS (and have it appear on the MFD) for the heavy jets? Can you type waypoints in the MCDUs?
5) How do you change nav frequencies for heavy planes?
you can easily google all those questions. or do i really need to spoonfeed you like your mama does?
Dude flys about as good as a chicken
Wow, rough gameplay, I thought I was bad with an XB controller 😳 Seen more finesse in Pilot Wings 😁
How do you display your instruments (airspeed, altitude etc) on the screen
hold the right ALT key and right click on the window
How do I Fade the POI, point of interest?
Is there any way to make the in cockpit view brighter on the instruments without making the entire screen brighter? I can't ever see the instruments properly unless I am flying at night with all the lights turned on. During the day, the instruments are too dark.
There are some switches on the Cockpit that control the instruments's brightness e.t.c but you'll have to look around because they different from plane to plane
From the sim community, this is not a game, this is a flight simulator
2:14 i know where you live, and I'm not comin without the yop
I'm just here to see everyone complaining about a beginner tips video
For some reason my all the training mission are not highlighted and I can't do them . Pls help me
Since last month MSFS it taking 20minutes to load for me. any help?
I bought the game to have fun and look around. Ended up spending hours to try to find out how to lift off
If its your first time like me, don't skip training and challenges
@@multifaceteddoall I did all of them lol, but it's just hard to control the plane, cause everything is so sensitive, like I cant hold the keys to go left and right (The plane would just flip over), I have to tap them
@@hydrav5618 I know it is sensitive, I realized I handle bigger planes better than smaller propeller planes.
@@multifaceteddoall lol same, it's less more sensitive
I had the same problem and I obviously knew I wouldn’t have any luck with a keyboard/mouse! Even the Xbox controller is very sensitive, I’ve just got the yoke n throttle and will soon set it up!
Thanks for the info on the Tips and tricks but i did expect you to show us how you actually do the trick or tip you are telling us about?
WOW great video thanks made my day 😀👍
Does anyone have some good tips on landing? I’m very new to the game and not very good. Takeoffs I’m starting to learn but I have a hard time landing.
My biggest problem was that the game dosnt come with a mouse yoke. Had to use 2 party software to setup a virtual joystick. Always played FSX with mouse yoke
What about Regional Airports that were not created in the free addons? There's a Regional Airport close to me and I would like to add it.
No you dont have to fly from a near airport to find your house, you can click on the area of where the hows is and then spawn near it.
Then you fly right past it
Digitalsoju TV then spawn right before it
@@digitalsoju planes can turn
@@ItsEphora obviously, but it's typically easier to approach a bit further away then the exact area where your house is. But Tom is right in that you don't need to fly out of an airport
How do you switch to third person?
I flew over my house and the whole area was nothing but warehouses
I enjoy how both the game and this video talk about how active pause is a great feature, but neither the game or this video talks about how it can be activated...
I'm in the same boat..did you find out what button it is?
@@adambrooks6860 Pause/break button!
This isn’t available for xbox one, right?
What's the best flight simulator for mobile?
How do you skip training instructions if you've made a mistake and are forced to restart? I am being forced to redo from the beginning every time!
? This thing keeps saying landing gear over and over how do I get it to stop
Is it different from fsx? I'm moving sims
That's how I take off in Elite Dangerous.
Legit the first thing I did when I got the game was (attempt to) fly a helicopter to my house 😂
Unique and interesting. Yaarrrrr!
For those that want better instruction on how to fly a plane, I recommend a discovery flight with a flight instructor at your nearest airport. In many places in the US you can enjoy one for $75 to $100. It'll likely be the best $100 you've spent in your life. Maybe one day you'll take up lessons and join the great flying community. I took my first lessons when I was 13 years old and haven't looked back since.
I agree- hopefully it will somewhat counteract the arcade version of flying shown here.
It's a completely new flight simulation platform and whenever you have something that new, most people are going to have issues, that's why I wasn't in a hurry to get the initial release version of FS 2020, although it has gone through the so-called "Alpha" and "Beta" phases there will always be numerous items that were missed. I'll wait a little longer.
Yes, you better do. I am completely new to FS2020, but the 9 hours of flying the Cessna 152 were really fun.
However, a more experienced friend was basically enraged after he flew the A320neo. The airliners apparently fly horribly, the autopilot is useless and you can't use the whole cockpit as many switches and buttons are just marked *inoperable*.
Get it with Gamepass on PC for 1€
Just as a side note. Since it's connected to servers online, it checks for updates every time you load the game. I would hope this means any fixes for bugs/glitches in the software are being applied as needed.
Hi, is anyone else out there experiencing trouble toggling the "active pause" button? I can't get this function to work.
I would love to see this updated for the latest version of MSFS 2020, the Game of the Year version. The tutorials have changed since this video came out, and as a newbie, they don't seem very comprehensive. Lesson 7 on setting trim is especially frustrating, even after watching numerous videos on YT to better understand trim, I cannot seem to get the controls right in the tutorial. What I can't figure out is why the tutorials begin *in the air* -- wouldn't you logically start training on the ground? There's very little to no explanation of the parts of the plane (aileron? elevator? altimeter?), what they do, etc. So for new pilots, it's not very clear how to begin, and when something doesn't go right, there's no explanation as to what went wrong and how to fix it.
The altimeter is the instrument that shows you how high you are in relation to a set refference( there is also a radioaltimeter on some aircraft, that shows you how high you are related to the actual terrain under you. The ailerons are the control surfaces on the outer part of the wing that deflect the air flowing around the wing, to make the aircraft roll. They are moved by turning the yoke left or right( like a car's steering wheel), or moving the flight stick left or right. The elevators are the control surfaces on the horizontal part of the tail that help move the aircraft's nose up or down. They are controled by moving the yoke/flight stick forward or back. Now moving on to trim. You might notice when flying that you have to constantly imput controls to make the aircraft fly straight. For beginner flight sim level stuff, ypu should just use the trim commands to make the aircraft fly straight. When you are all set up for cruise(flaps up, cruise power, at or near the desired cruise speed), go into the cockpit and choose a reference point( a distand mountain top, an isolated house etc), then use the trim commands instead of the primary flight controls to make the aircraft fly straight towards that point without any further input. Now, in a sim it's quite a bit harder to do this than irl, where you can feel the forces you are applying on the stick, but if you take it slow, and don't overdo it( go a tiny bit, see how the plane reacts, then repeat), you can enjoy the joy of flying straight and level.
how do i read the compas
If I press little bit on a to go left it doesnt work, i have to hold on it but then it goes crazy fast to left... there is only 0% or 100%, so if i want to go slightly lefr it doesnt work it reacts like a button pfff...
That take off at 3:30. lmfao
The gameplay footage and flight is seriously stressing me out lol.
I should finish the video first...but in case it's not in there, how do you speed up the simulation time? R + doesn't work.
What do you mean “speed up simulation time”. Are you referring to speeding up flights through a time warp system? As in pressing a button that is 2x to make a flight half as long but still covering the same distance? If so, there is no such thing. A flight that will take 8 hours in real life will also take 8 hours in the sim. Everything is real time.
@@jantracz2734I dont know in this one, havent look for it yet and i dont care much, but In FSX you had the option to speed up time.
You can set it to whatever you want in the control settings. I have mine set to < and >. Each time you press the > it will speed the game up.
I thought this was a flight
simulator, but now after hearing
GAME 48,000 times in one video,
I now call it a game, I call people
and tell them this is a game, they
tell me I'm nuts, I keep saying; game,
and after a while they start agreeing,
some call me later and tell me its a
game.
wheres the Pause and active pause button on the keyboard?
Enter lats and longs from google maps into the sim to find places
