Another great video Kip. Keep them coming. Two quick comments though. First, the leg from SMS to the IAF is a feeder route and the altitude published is just like an MEA. ATC should assign you an altitude here. It is not a segment of the approach so don't go down to that altitude without prior instruction. Second and more important, the missed approach point on the ILS is not the runway threshold, it is DA and the missed approach should begin as soon as you reach that altitude if you have no further visual clues.
Thanks for those important corrections James! I knew I’d miss a couple things and will pin your comment so others can learn from it as well. Cheers!
@@KipOnTheGround Awesome humble response. Just raised my impression of you several notches. We're in this together and I guess we never stop learning. Cheers and please keep them coming!
I've learned a lot from comments like James' and appreciate them. I wish I could easily make corrections and replace the video, but unfortunately TH-cam doesn't allow it without deleting the entire thing, so, another lesson learned for next time :-)
@@KipOnTheGround Hello there , so i want to talk to you about the video to made 4 months ago talking about the mods and well , i want to install an airport scenery and i followed all the steps and the airport scenery is not showing. the old default one was and not the one i downloaded so please help me
@@KipOnTheGround I'm sure hoping you'll make more videos Kip. You do a great job.
Out of pure selfishness, I wish you uploaded more frequently.
Thanks for explaining new features of the nxi. Your presentation is as always clear and honest.
I’ve been looking for this exactly! Great video!
Finally someone who zooms in properly on the instruments when he instructs so you can clearly see what it looks like when you perform the tasks.
The majority of the channels that instruct sits in the pilot's seat and demonstrate on the instruments in front of the copilot so it is difficult to see properly what is going on.
Thank you so much for the great videos, now I will watch them all and hopefully learn how everything works.
This channel is so underrated! You make it so easy to follow and understand.
Thanks man! I’m only in the middle of the video but already have to say this is the best charts explanation I’ve ever seen.
You deserve many more subscribers and hits, as your tutorials are by far the most effortlessly knowledgeable and articulate on air navigation, by far. Thank you.
Thank you for your help for my first "go around" missed approach, it was invaluable. Once again your videos are professional, instructive and extremely helpful.
Excellent as always! I hope more people find your channel, watching your content is like attending a paid course! Really good :)
Just getting into MSFS and really enjoying the process of learning to fly. I have watched tons of content makers on it and always come back to review Kips video's. By far the easiest to follow in your own plane with his guidance. Often times I have his video's up while I'm flying my own planes so I can recreate his instructions in real time on my own for practice. Great job!
Thank you for this! As a relative noob to msfs I’ve watched a ton of videos trying to learn how to use the ils and for some reason none of them clicked in my brain. Your info here was thoughtfully laid out and was super helpful. Hands down the best tutorial for approach/ils on TH-cam!
Awesome - I almost feel like this vid was 110% for me! I did eventually work out the G1000Nxi for consistent ILS approaches back in December and was able to do a whole flight with a keyboard as a result, but this made it so much clearer step by step. The g1000nxi has a lot of information on the screen which is easy to miss if you don't know what every dot or icon means and when things are genuinely activated and going to work as expected.
Again another great video. Thanks.
You’re the G1000 guru Kip!
Miss your videos! Please keep making more
Third video of yours I've watched since finding your channel this morning. My brain HURTS (lol) but not as much as it would if you didn't explain things so darn well. LIKED!
Fantastic tutorial. Thanks for creating such a detailed and well prepared video.
Great review of setting up for an ILS approach to a runway.. it’s been 38yrs and thanks to your clear, useful, and detail terminology you are helping me transfer from “steam gauges “ to the GARMIN 1000nxi system. Personally, I am surprised how much I remembered from years ago flying.
I love your videos. You’re an excellent teacher. Keep them coming.
As per your usual, this was a great video sir. You make mud look like natural spring water. Keep them coming please, I've learned so much from your videos. I came up with VOR and DME equipment when I was learning to fly some 50 years ago. Glass cockpits were a thing of science fiction back then. You have a way of making stuff that is hard for old dogs to learn into something even this old buzzard can catch on to. Thank you for your work on the NXI sir.
Agree with you. I got my instrument rating in the late 70's and did not get to fly much after that so I am rather clueless with the new technology. If not for Kip and a few others, I would still be clueless.
This is Epic levels of good instruction. Thank you.
I love your videos!!!! You explain and show everything amazingly. Keep the amazing work and thank you!!!
Got yourself a new sub! Amazing video!!
Great video! Please do more tutorials on the amazing WT G1000NXi
Thanks for another great video Kip! I shall be testing this on my next flight!
Thanks for the great tutorial!
These are some fantastic tutorials, you have a very good teaching method and make everything very understandable, thank you. :)
Thank you. Looking forward for more.
You make mud look like spring water. Well put.
Very cool video Kip Thanks a lot
Excellent like always...Thanks Sir 🤘
Kip, thanks again for the video.
Just amazing what you do with your videos... thanks a lot... hello from Brazil.
Another excellent video from Kip.
Incredible tutorial, sir.
Awesome video. Very helpful. Thanks 👍
Congrats fot this superb video!
Thanks
Great video. Man I've got a lot of work to do!
Excellent! Very helpful.
Wow!!!What great video
Excited for a v11 video for g1000. Yours are the best.
Thanks! The latest NXi updates have been strictly bug-fix releases, so there wouldn't be anything to demonstrate other than "the bugs they said they fixed are fixed", but I will make more videos when new major features are released.
Ultra clean thank you
excellent explaination!
Well done. An interesting feature on the approach plate is the plane class A, B, C, & D that could include a slightly different minimums, etc.
Thank you so much for this. By far the best video on ILS landings on TH-cam. I just started MSFS, and I am not a pilot. I have no interest in being one yet, and the other videos I’ve seen on this stuff almost made me quit altogether. They are all full of pot jargon and everyone in the comments is some 40-year master pilot. None of it made any sense. I just want to play this game and learn how to use autopilot and have fun. I don’t want an hour and a half video using pilot jargon that I don’t understand being taught by people who feel high and mighty and talk down to people like me like we don’t belong.
Long and short of it: thank you for teaching like a human. Thank you for talking to me like I am a human. Thank you for helping me have fun with this new game that I like. If I ever become a pilot in the future, this video would have been the lynchpin.
Well said. I want the same thing. And Kip is the one to help with that for sure
You can Start the Climb as soon as you go Missed at your Decision Height that is why on the chart you see the UP pointing arrow prior to the MAP. Now if you were doing the LOC only approach you will see that you are allowed to Level Off at 920 and continue at that ALT to the MAP where you HAVE to go missed.
Again though you could have started your climb before the MAP on a LOC Approach but then you give up the chance of getting the runway environment visual an thus being able to descend to land. That said you can not start your TURN until you Cross the MAP.
Also this Approach is a great example of why you have two Nav Radios. The second Nav Radio is so that you have the SNS VOR and the RADIAL already dialed in for the Missed... It's not an airliner doing an auto land requiring both FMS be tuned into the Loc :)
As always great video Kip
Thanks for the info Les! I'll definitely be continuing to learn about missed approaches, and paying more attention to the MAP are on the profile now to remind myself what the procedure expectation is.
It’s the WT NXi (don’t know about the real unit) that tunes BOTH Nav radios to the LOC. I do though agree with Les about using Nav 2 as he describes.
@@gregdildine99 That seems to be a "NXi" simulator thing which WT is basing most of these kinds of decisions off. Then manual is not very clear regarding it either. However another user a while back posted video (real unit) showing that it would not force it into NAV 2 when on the GPS and Auto Tunning... either way you should be able to setup Nav 2 after just fine..
Your’s are by far the best autopilot tutorials I have found in MSFS or X-Plane or real-life GA “literature,” Kip!
Thanks Kip 👍🏻🛫
Well done.
From your “About” page here on YT, not sure and forgive me if I’m wrong, but it doesn’t look like you’re a certificated pilot. But based on the way you teach through the videos you post, you present like a seasoned CFI. Hands down, you post the BEST tutorials on the NXi. Your concise/informed presentation of very complex topics sets you apart from the others here on YT. Thank you for all you do for this community.
Thank you! No, I'm not a pilot nor an instructor, and haven't even taken a discovery flight myself (which I'm sure shows at times). I started simming to learn about flying when my partner decided to get her private, and she's now working on her instrument rating. So, my videos are just intended for other simmers who want to take things a bit more seriously like I have been trying to :-)
The best Kip. You have made the sim accessible to 75 year old crusty’s. Ta mate
That was very good thanks
You are the Best.......
Excelente.
Great!
Good work buddie ! Need to learn, as I’ve got Kodak 100 + need a break from A32NX :)
If I could have a voice to fall asleep to, would it be my mom at the age of 4 reading me a story? Nope. Would it be Morgan Freeman narrating a nature film? Nope. Would it be Sam Elliot telling me about some wild Old West story? I don’t think so. It would be Kip, letting me know how to fly and soar through the sky, the technically accurate way.
🤣
@3:35 airnav is also good for approach charts
Kip, well produced video! Curious what editing software you use? While this video is surely helpful for many and illustrates quite a lot about the NXi, perhaps you could double check IFR procedures with a CFII (I’m not one) I definitely appreciated the reminder to aviate, navigate, communicate. As others have commented, probably the most important missed approach item is not flying below the minimum altitude. I also might suggest additional focus on airspeeds and power management especially with AP engaged. Thanks as always for your videos!
great tutorial as always!!!! any chance a vor dme approach tutorial. thanks
Kip my man ✊
hey Kip any free app like sky4sim?
Check out Volanta for a free moving map Windows app -- it can track your flights, show you VATSIM info, taxiways and weather information... it's nice. If you want charts and have a tablet or smartphone, do a search for EFB mobile apps like FltPlan Go. Hope that helps :-)
Thank you very much for the chartfox tip. I finally found the charts for the airport I am using. Just need to convert to png for my VR pilot bag.
I also very much like how well prepared, paced and produced this video was.
At @16:05, I didn't understand VNAV. What does this mode do? Thus far, I only know VS and FLC as ways of getting to the 1700 set point. Does it calculate a descent slope based on the flight plan having altitude settings for both way points? I don't really know what VNAV is, but I've only seen it in other videos where you capture the glide slope, so I thought that was its (specialized) use. But you say in the video that you set in this in case you don't capture the GS. So, I realize I have always seen VNAV in conjunction with "APP", so I don't know what it does when used in isolation.
From your explanation, it seems that the VNAV and APP (GS capture) has the same respective function as when you are laterally using HDG and NAV (CDI capture).
Do you have more videos on the missed approach? How does the SUSP work? When does it engage and how do you know when, in a more elaborate MA procedure, to give the reigns back to the AP? I assume you don't have to pass 400 feet to do a missed approach. Like, if you got a landing gear warning or something. What then?
Fantastic tutorials, Kip! One question. I tracked everything except the one step where you used VPath to step down to the FAF altitude. Could you expand on that a little? Great stuff!
Just recently discovered I have too many medical issues to get my FAA clearance. Simming at least helps curb that bummed feeling I have from receiving the bad news. Honestly though, for the cost of getting a pilot's license, you could just about build a full cockpit home simulator
Hey Kip, thank you for your new tutorial with ILS approach. Yesterday I sent you a question about the "No data" indication on the HSI in another of your video. On the G1000 interface, you can see "No Data" and then when you're in range of the ILS radio, you can see the ILS name. It's not the case on the G1000 Nxi HSI where it just mentions ILS NAV1 when it switches to Localizer 1 and you're in range of the NAV1 radio. I don't know if that's a bug or just how it works on the nxi. Anyway, all good and thanks! Awesome tutorial as always.
Hi, the "No data" label is part of the Bearing 1 and Bearing 2 options under the "MFD Opts" menu on the MFD. They're optional additional bearing pointers that you can turn on for NAV1, NAV2, GPS, and ADF. Let me know if you can't find them!
@Kip on the Ground Hi Kip, yeah! I know where are the bearing 1 and 2 options but the no data label only works on G1000, not the NXi version. That's why I'm wondering if that's a bug or just the way it is on the NXi interface. Look at your tutorial 16:39 where you get your Bearing 1 tuned on NAV1, there is no longer the ILS information as it should be on the G1000 version (IMRY ILS), on the NXi it looks like the ILS information only appears at the top left next to your NAV1 frequence. I hope you know what I mean.
If you don't know what I mean, check your previous ILS approach tutorial with G1000 video at minute 13:30. You will see that the information on the HSI is different and I believe it's better on the G1000 version.
@@way5718 I see what you're saying, it must be a bug :( I'll check with the NXi team on their Discord to see if it's a known issue.
OK, it's not a bug :-) Apparently that's how the real NXi works with ILS specifically. It actually can't show a bearing to the localizer (like it can with a VOR, NDB, or a GPS fix). The default/stock G1000 does this inaccurately. You'll want to open the DME window on the PFD to see the DME distances, and that can also serve as a reminder of when you're in range of the localizer. I did do this in this video, but out of habit I also had bearing 1 and 2 set for NAV1/NAV2.
Wow! Just wow!. I'm super excited to try this. I've been waiting for another NXI video from you this year. I do have a random question regarding RNAV on the world map. Example: After selecting the departure airport(KFMY) to arrival airport KZPH, and then selecting IFR low altitude airways with an RNAV arrival runway, the flight plan line is orange and nothing shows up on the Garmin inside the cockpit. If I select an ISL runway, all is good. Does this mean that the arrival airport does not really have RNAV in MSFS? (I did check Skyvector and pulled up the RNAV approach plate.) Thanks so much.
Top notch! The G1000 Nxi is an amazing addition to the sim. Hope WT do the same with the G3000. Incidentally, is the G1000 Nxi fully functional in the Kodiak? I read that each update of the Nxi may require a Kodiak update to maintain functionality?
The only issue I’ve seen with the Kodiak is the autopilot wavering left and right on final, so hopefully they’ll be a fix for that. Otherwise I’ve been flying the Kodiak a lot with the NXi and it’s been great overall. Thanks!
Thanks alot for explaining all this.
Still i have issues most of the time to make the plane capture the glideslope. The GS remains white and the altitude written next to it is just maintained by the plane instead starting to decent on the glideslope. Any idea what i am doing wrong there?
This was a great video. The missed approach stuff was really useful. I have always thought there was a call out when minimums were reached, but haven’t heard one in the sim. Does this happen? Or is just on certain aircraft and systems?
Thanks! The "minimums, minimums" callout is a feature of the real NXi, but not yet implemented in the add-on. Hopefully it will be in a future update!
I am presently trying to lock in a strategy for the subsequent approach after entering the MAP hold and then proceeding to reshoot the approach. You recreated the approach from the menu. Is this necessary? Could you provide more detail in context of live ATC scenarios such as if they vector before and after entering the hold before reshooting?
Was the missed approach procedure preprogrammed on the nxi or is that something you had to input manually prior or during the flight? Amazing video, thanks!
Yes, it’s included as part of the approach procedure! Thanks!
Really good, thank you for your continued instruction. I’m doing great on VNAV but only once have I successfully got it to capture the glide slope successfully. It’s very frustrating as I do the whole flight only to fall at the final hurdle! Perhaps I’m picking ILS runways not offering full glide slope precision down to minimums? Do RNav approaches also capture glide slope? Many thanks.
Hey Shane. Both ILS approaches and RNAV LPV approaches will give you vertical guidance, using a glideslope and glidepath, respectively. For the ILS, you'll need to switch your nav source to the Localizer (LOC1/NAV1, assuming the LOC is tuned in the NAV1 radio) using the CDI softkey on the PFD, or the NXi should auto-switch it for you as I showed in this video. That happens when your active waypoint is the Final Approach Fix (FAF). For an LPV approach you'll see the glidepath indication automatically when approaching the FAF without needing to change nav source, since it's GPS-based.
For autopilot to capture and follow the vertical guidance, Approach Mode must be armed before intercepting the GS/GP.
The next time you're nearing the FAF, take note of whether or not you see the green glideslope diamond (for an ILS) or the magenta glidepath diamond (for an LPV approach). If you aren't, then either the Localizer frequency isn't tuned correctly (or the nav source is not on LOC1 using the CDI button), or the RNAV approach isn't an LPV-type of approach (for more on that, see my RNAV approach video here: th-cam.com/video/C-nlNQYdx9c/w-d-xo.html ).
If you want me to help you out while you're in the middle of a flight, you can join the Discord server here and we could chat about it if that works for you. Discord event lets you share your screen so I can see what you're seeing: discord.gg/8hcJpsvsd9
@@KipOnTheGround Hi Kip. That really is incredibly kind to go to such detail in reply. I am away from home for a few days but when I get back I will follow your instructions more carefully. Kind regards.
Shane
How can you know the radio frequeny for request you IFR clearance when MSFS don't give you that information ? Thank's for this great video !
Generally any relevant radio frequencies are in the top area of whichever chart you're looking at.
You're most often going to be getting your IFR clearance while on the ground at a towered airport. If you bring up that airport's diagram, the frequencies will be shown in the top corners. Here's the airport diagram for KMRY, the destination airport in this video: skyvector.com/files/tpp/2208/pdf/00271AD.PDF
You can see the frequencies in the top left of this diagram. Becuase there's a clearance delivery frequency (CLNC DEL 135.45), you'd use that. Otherwise, you'd use the ground frequency.
For an approach plate like the one I used in this video, frequencies are shown in the top area known as the "briefing strip".
Hi Kip, thanks for the video. The problem that I have is that I don't see a magenta line from my starting point (the airport) to the next waypoint. The CDI is SUSP and default LOC is active. In the top bar in magenta, only states FAF to destination runway. So when I take of I can't select NAV as there is no magenta line to follow. It looks like the first FPLN which I made from the start isn't coied to the G1000 as I don't see the departing runway nor an enroute filled in. Any clue what is going wrong here? Thanks
Long time don’t hear from you brother I hope everything is ok ✊🏽
Everything is fine, thanks! Unless I'm really motivated to make a video about something, I just don't :-) And there haven't been any major NXi updates this year, which is mostly what I make videos on.
@@KipOnTheGround great good to hear you are ok, take-care brother 🙌🏼
Very nice vid, what type of entry did you execute? was it a tear drop?
This one was a teardrop entry. Thankfully, the NXi will program in the correct entry for you, but if you wanted to learn about how to figure it out yourself, this is a good article about it: boldmethod.com/learn-to-fly/regulations/how-to-determine-your-holding-entry-procedure/
Great tutorial, as always! I reproduced it completely in FS2020, nice. A question: is the now necessary manual descending while in the HILPT a bug, or a thing Working Title still will implement, or a thing of the real Nxi? I couldnt find it in a Nxi manual.
AFAIK it's a real behavior of the NXi, where holds and reversals are legs that are not eligible for VNAV use.
@@KipOnTheGround copy that!
I'm following everything your doing but I can't get the flight plan to load and I get SUSP in the HSI. I tried with ILS and Rnav approach with no luck.
Hey Kip...i don't know if the same thing has happened to you. On two ocassions the simulator ha crashed in the approach phase when i tried to open the tab where the nearest, flightplan, map, etc. are. I don't know if it is a bug in the g1000 nxi. it has already happened to me twice.
You are my "go-to" expert for the G1000NXi. Question: This feature is using verion 10. As I write this, version 11 is what in on the MSFS Marketplace for download. Will you be doing a video on the additional features/improvements on that version? If not, do you know what changes were implemented? I have not been able to find them at the Working Title website.
Thanks much!
I didn’t make a video on 0.11 because it was all bug fixes, so there weren’t any new feature to demonstrate. WT considers the NXi nearly feature-complete at this point, so most likely the next big things will be the new G3000 and GNS 530/430 systems! You can find the 0.11 release notes here: www.workingtitle.aero/packages/nxi/2022/03/17/nxi-release-v0.11.0.html
@@KipOnTheGround Good to know. Thanks so much Kip!
Great presentation. Thanks. Question..I see that there are 2 ILS minimums with different minimums. What is the significance of the # symbol following the first ILS 10R?
It can be hard to find on some charts, but the note that “#” corresponded to in this case was in the missed approach description and requires a specific minimum climb performance to execute that missed approach procedure. If the plane didn’t meet that requirement, the higher minimums would be used. Thanks Jake!
@@KipOnTheGround Got it! Thanks again.
Thank you this was a lot of help. One question. I see you have those blue path markings that move around as you turn, how is that enabled? I use the NXi in the Kodiak and i can't see that line.
I think you're talking about Track Vector, which can be enabled in the MFD settings. Check it out at the beginning of this video: th-cam.com/video/0434NIbkCTY/w-d-xo.html
@@KipOnTheGround oh amazing, thanks a lot. Absolutely love those functions
If the GPS not quite catching you going missed and so the SUSP button will not show up. How do I load the missed approach procedure?
You seem to be very wise man regarding this garmin. I used to fly Kodiak in ms20 before the last big update and everything was ok. Now after update I'm having issues and I don't know why but when I choose the flight plan on the map in-game menu and start my flight very often my plane just lose the whole route on garmin and now idk if it's a BUG or what is going on he just literally delete the whole flight plan sometimes in the middle of the flight sometimes right before the ILS range and all that weird stuff is going on and I have no idea why??? and I can't find anything on google relating that issue . Do you have any ide whats wrong with that plane or maybe MS20?
I have followed the steps on this video several times but still cannot master the missed approach part. Where exactly is the missed approach point? Does this show up on the flightplan before the runway or just after it? I disengage the AP and climb to 600 feet on the runway heading and fly a good bit past the end of the runway. Then when I engage the AP again it tries to take me around the approach phase again. I presumed it would detect that I have passed the runway and take me to INTERCEPT waypoint. Any advice or tips would be much appreciated.
Kip, i love your videos. Very thorough and engaging. But no matter what I try I can not get a glideslope to capture. Im on xbox and the nxi. Im at altitude restrictions and the plane just flies right by the faf and doesnt descend. Any ideas?
Hey Chris, thanks! Are you arming APR mode on the AP before reaching the FAF? I usually arm it once I’m on the final approach course.
Quick question Microsoft will not update for me I've made multiple attempts and it just spends and spins says looking for updates but nothing ever happens and it does this all night long. What recourse should I take
Hi! , where did u get that sheet ? the FP with the chart and all that, I can get it from skyvector
I got the FAA chart for that approach via Skyvector.
Here's the KMRY airport page (you can find instrument procedures toward the bottom of the page): skyvector.com/airport/MRY/Monterey-Regional-Airport
Here's the direct link for the ILS 10R approach plate: skyvector.com/files/tpp/2208/pdf/00271IL10R.PDF
Does the APPR button on the G1000 accomplish "ACTIVATE" approach ?
No! It's confusing since the word "approach" is involved in both, but Approach Mode on the autopilot is used to capture vertical guidance on an approach like an ILS or LPV approach. Activating the approach on the flight plan simply makes the first waypoint in the approach your active waypoint (just like using direct-to to that waypoint). In the case of the NXi, activating an approach will also put relevant VOR or ILS frequencies into NAV1 and NAV2 if you're flying an approach with a radio-based navigation aid.
Quick question how are you able to get the approach plates to show up on the monitor superimposed over the flight simulator
I do that as part of editing the video with Premiere Pro, but if you want charts within the sim while flying, a popular option is paying for a Navigraph Ultimate subscription. Their "in-game panel" for MSFS allows you to open a small Navigraph window within the sim from the top toolbar (see my latest "OnAir" stream replays to see it in action: th-cam.com/video/F8XMc-1gGgc/w-d-xo.html . Otherwise, you can just change from MSFS to your web browser to look up charts you already have loaded up from places like Skyvector.com. Or, if you have a phone or tablet, check out free apps like FltPln Go: flttrack.fltplan.com/FltPlanInfo/FltPlan_Go-Android-iPad_Info.html
@@KipOnTheGround thanks for clarifying Love your videos you do a really good job
3 weeks without posting?
Is the Nav mode for GPS and Approach mode for ILS?
On the autopilot, NAV mode will give you lateral guidance to whatever your NAV source is -- in the case in this video, it's GPS. But you can press the "CDI" softkey on the PFD to change it to NAV1 or NAV2 to use a VOR or localizer.
Approach mode on the autopilot is for capturing and following vertical guidance on an approach that has it -- an ILS, LPV, LNAV+V, etc.
@@KipOnTheGround Then what is the difference between VNAV and APPROACH if both capture vertical guidance?
@@KipOnTheGround Then what is the difference between VNAV and APPROACH if both capture vertical guidance?
VNAV makes it easy to descend from your cruising altitude down to a target altitude -- usually an altitude that starts the approach phase of your flight. With the G1000, VNAV can only be used for descents, but in many airliners it's also able to be used for climbs.
Approach mode is used to follow the vertical guidance component of an instrument approach like the glideslope of an ILS approach, or the glidepath of an LPV approach.
@@KipOnTheGround wow. Got it. Thanks for your reply.
Video is OLD and does NOT work anymore.
so your happy to be held to ransom by microsoft store so you can fly i just realised that a fee to enter the store and also flightsim is a monthly charge this after paying for the sim ihave invested a lot of money to fly the sim but all seem to be a waste maybe the other sims are a better option so good bye microsoft pity
Hi Terry. I'm not sure what you mean. The only way to have a monthly charge for MSFS is if you're using it via Microsoft's "Game Pass" service, which is a subscription service (think Netflix for games). If you already own MSFS outright, then you don't need to keep your Game Pass subscription unless you're also using other games in Game Pass besides MSFS.
Hi I would like to subscribe to your channel. But you talk so fast it is difficult to follow you. I am sure if you could talk a little slower you would get more subscribers.
