![[4K] Getting Started with Xbox Microsoft Flight Simulator (Tutorial)](/img/tr.png)
As an actual pilot, this is a wonderful explanation. In fact this is just like a flight lesson in a real airplane.
Had a friend that learned how to fly on FS. Then took actual lessons. He's now a pilot.
@@nightowlme I am 57 and I am hoping to do that very thing. Learn as much on the SIM as possible and then get my license.
Agreed
same getting my licence as soon as i can im 13 rn and im gonna put a lot of work into sims
I’m definitely going to get my ppl soon ✈️
This tutorial series should be an official one. Really. There is no one better than Squirrel teaching it.
This guy should teach in real life. His voice is so relaxing
He does teach in real life. You just watched his very real video on how to land a plane ;)
Zzzzzz. Too relaxing.
All I hear are screams
The bob ross of flight simulation
He taught me and I'm a real boy.
Just started on the MSFS, I cannot over emphasize how much I have benefitted from these superbly presented videos. The training that is included with the FS is nowhere near adequate , many thanks for the time and care you have put in to this.
I agree, the in-game training is very disappointing. It feels like a rushed afterthought and taught me more or less nothing.
I certainly didn't learn enough to do my own flights successfully.
As a younger guy this is pretty much how I was taught by the RAF in a Cessna 152. Best days, ever! I'm now reliving my past in FS 2020 on my Series X. So happy! 😁
What yoke do you use for xbox series? I bought one but returned it due to lack of yoke and throttle sets. I was only using the xbox controller.
Personally I think you’re better off with a stick than a yoke imo
I absolutely adore this game. I’ve just bought a Series S just for it. I started off landing like I’d just stolen a prop plane from the GTAV airport 😂 but I’m getting better now 💪✈️😍
You and me both!!
I bought the Series S just for this game also. Only my second foray into the Xbox ecosystem. I had the first Xbox(2001 ish), and now I have a Series S. Of course the first console I ever bought was a Telstar gaming system, which I got in 78. So I've been at this a long time.
@@Del-Canada my 1st experience with games was early 80’s and Spectrum 48k 👌
Absolutely the best discussion of the important elements of a good approach and landing that I have ever heard; I have my Pilots Certificate and IFR rating as well as more years of experience than I want to admit to, so I think I can have an informed opinion. Really. Really well done. Like everything else that we do, understanding the fundamentals and using those skills everyday is the way we improve. So thanks for this video. I’ll be sending lots of friends over to your channel. And I’ve liked and subscribed. Thanks again.
You can also program the nav to give you a good approach as the default route is a straight line with no thought given to landing, use auto pilot and set your altitude. Once you get to final approach press the approach button and it should guide you down nice and straight. All you gotta do is manage speed and pull back on yoke when you’re about to touch down. Doing it this way also gets you a achievement. The cessna 172 is probably the easiest to program the navigation system on
Really enjoyed this as well as the take off video, as someone new to flying sims but with a huge interest in aviation this is pure gold!
Dude please tell me this is a series!!
Awesome tutorial 👌
I used to fail fail and continuously fail to land any plane successfully before watching this video.
So simple explanation and such a good teacher.
At times, I forget to bring the wheels down, but landings are pitch perfect. And I do circus things like dropping off from 1000s of feet just near, about 5 kms to runway and try to adjust for a perfect landing. Mostly successful.
Either way, it's your Xbox and your game. Do take risks and BE PATIENT.
Id like to understand getting off the ground, working with Air Traffic Control and understanding what they are talking about. I cant wait to see all these videos and learn 🔥🔥🔥
As an absolute newbie, this is probably the very best tutorial I have ever seen. thank you so much.
Loving these tutorials! would love a tutorial on how to set up auto pilot in a a320 before take off
You can't really set up the auto pilot before taking off. I fly the a320 all the time. The only thing you can set up is the altitude.
@@DestinyProTV isn't doing a flight plan like pre programming the auto pilot before take off?
@@DestinyProTV Apologies I meant setting up the flight plan using the MCDU
@@jacksanderson660 no.
@@jacksanderson660 non your just submitting your flight plan literally just like putting a destination into a sat nav For auto pilot you will have to tell the aircraft what altitude, airspeed so on you can set altitude and I believe heading but auto pilot won’t really come into play until after about 10000 ft
I cannot begin to describe how much more enjoyable this has made the game. I would have rage quit ages ago. Cheers.
I’ve crashed so many times, only played this for a few days and I already broke my controller..
As a pilot flying a pa28, I actually learnt in a C150/152. Couple of things we are taught which should add , regarding trim … we follow the Acronym PAT .. Power.. Attitude .. Trim … you set the power for cruise (usually 2300-2400rpm) … get the attitude for straight and level .. and then trim so you can essentially fly hands off. To land …. On finals (if it’s properly realistic£ you need carb heat below 2000rpm , can be 30 degrees outside , but you will get carb icing… and that’s not good !! Set power to around 1500 rpm and use teim again .. here’s the important bit … you do not need to point the nose up or down. If the plane is trimmed right .. you control your decent with power … so on finals your aiming for 60-65 knots … once at that speed trim to that speed … so then when you increase power , you will arrest … or increase your decent by pulling power back.
Once over the runway .. power fully off .. hold stick back a touch … ground effect will lower your stall speed and angle of attack will naturally lift the nose so you land.
Another great tip .., if in cockpit view .. on finals .. sim to keep the runway as it gets closer in exactly the same spot in your screen … do that abs toy will always land on the runway … then it’s just a case of looking at its profile to judge if too high or low … or off runway has PAPI LIGHTS … 2 red 2 green is perfect. Hope that helps
I wish i had found this clip sooner - it’s massively improved my landings. Thank you
What a great starter! 💙💙💙 Can't imagine a more logic approach to the topic, on point and entertaining...
I’m getting my Xbox in a few days I’m so hyped, super helpful thank you!!!
Your guidance and tutoring towards the MSFS is brilliant, thank you!
I've invested in a home-sim set up and can enjoy your teachings at my leisure before venturing out one day into the world real of flying lessons.
I think your airfield location is not far, so when I do, I'll look out for you!
I watch all your trucking videos. You are a damn good teacher my friend.
Why is it that pilots always have the nicest most soothing voices?
They need it to calm irate passengers 😬
You are my newest find on youtube. Amazing, keep it up. Im brand new to MSFS and im already looking at buying yokes and sinking many many hours just flying.
Brilliant video Squirrel. You master the ability of teaching without patronising - thank you.
Best landing tutorial ever. Thank you
Commenting a bit late on this I know but a couple things:
First, Great video! Someone should pay this man to be an instructor.
Secondly, with the Xbox I've found the throttle to be the most difficult thing to manage, particularly when using the cockpit view.
I rectified this by using a wireless USB keyboard and assigning throttle percentages to the number keys. 1 is 10%, 2 is 20% and so on with 0 being 100%. This has revolutionized my landings.
Note that by default those keys control ATC responses. I cleared those. I use a wireless mouse for that.
Hope this helps anyone who's interested.
I do solo flights irl, but this game I swear is actually harder lmao.
Very true. Just an example: in real life, when just about to land, you can judge the distance to the ground precisely. In a simulator, however good it is, it's not so easy to judge that distance.
Can you do a turbo prop tutorial? More specifically how to use the blue lever. Every time I fly a turbo prop my range is half of what it shows on the world map.
The blue lever is for the propeller, you adjust it for a specific RPM - from my studies, only for setting cruise RPM and subsequently makes less noise. The throttle is what you actually adjust for proper fuel flow and economy, as well of course the fuel levers. At cruise, you want to be anywhere between 60-70% power and adjust the fuel mixture levers accordingly
@@cubie3835 How do I set it? What gages do I look at? No matter how low I set my fuel my RPM do not change. I'm just confused on what I'm looking for on my plane. Thank you for your help.
@@rotor13 How do I set it? What gages do I look at? No matter how low I set my fuel my RPM do not change. I'm just confused on what I'm looking for on my plane. Thank you for your help.
@@Axle1324 Blue lever will change the RPM, throttles will change the manifold pressure.
i just want to clarify this, cause i think that people might still see this. The blackleveris the throttle, which will change your power, the blue lever is your rpm which will also reduce the rotation speed of your engine through angling the prop blade. Once you are at cruise, you bring this to give you the most rpm without getting into the reds. Then there is the fuel lever, which is usually red. This will affect fuel usage and eventually rpm. The way to set this properly is once you are at cruise keep bringing it down until you notice a drop in rpm, then you bring it up a little so the rpm stabilizes. You are now at optimal fuel and rpm. P.S. the moment you change the throttle this must be redone
Thank you for this tutorial. I wasn't looking at the trim stability hence some hectic landings.
What an great tutorial. Much better than the in-game one. Thanks! Now just need to figure out how that trim works. Right bumper and right stick?
This was the best video I seen on here. Liked and subbed
A great video that I have found very helpful and keep coming back to. One thing I am still having problems with and finding confusing is trim. Every time I try it the plain still carries on going up or down and not levelling out. I think I understand what it is used for, just don't quite understand how to get it to do it. But will keep trying and with a bit of luck it will click, or sink in.
Same thing happens to me. I can never seem to get the plane to level out
Brilliant tutorial mate. It helped me out massively. Thanks Squirrel 👍
Just an absolute treat, this video. I felt like I was flying with an instructor.
Great tutorial, I was definitely flapping too fast lol, gonna bring that speed down from now on. Thank you.
Thank you for the video! And thank you for doing it on a Xbox! I did the tutorial training missions but you did a much better job at explaining what to do and why
This is so much more helpful than the in game tutorial. I know nothing about airplanes but this has helped me A LOT. My struggle now is figuring out how to navigate to another airport. I can use the VFR but there's so much clutter of markers I have no idea where I'm going or how to understand the nav log. I hope you keep making these videos for us new xbox rookies.
Yeah, I feel the same
True. I hope he can teach us something about that in the future.
Agreed as well. I had to find the airport I wanted to land at by locating landmarks only.
Well you could use IFR instead. Full IFR flights automate the entire navigation process with autopilot. I would recommend to watch a tutorial on IFR.
You can disable those markers by going to the pause menu > assistance options > POI > customize to your liking. I only have airports enabled for POI. Also, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND turning off AI atc. I believe it’s under piloting.
I’m so glad I found this video, thanks a lot man🙏🙏
Nice touch doing this at Santos Dumont!
Better tutorial than in game. Amazing video.
Glad this works on the XBox, my game on PC does not, CTD when clicking on world map
I love these videos. Please do more for Xbox with different planes and scenarios. They are really helpful for us newbies.
@Squirrel, thanks for an excellent tutorial!
Great guide. I'll use this for my first landing. Thanks.
I love your teaching, it's so clear. Never understood the difference between 'trim' and 'flaps'.
Thank you so much.
I can't play this until midnight tomorrow as I'm working till late.......ggrrrrrrrr.
Stay safe.
One thing to add about flaps. They can also be used to quickly lose altitude if you're coming in way too high and your plane doesnt have speed brakes. Basically use the flaps as speed brakes, to allow you to point down at the target, lose a heck of a lot of altitude, without gaining too much speed.
I once went from 12k feet to 2k feet when i was on final approach this way.
It's dicey, but a great trick.
i aske my wife what the difference was between flaps and trim , her answer was quite simple really , she said if i have the clippers in my hands you will get a trim. She then said for flaps , you will have to wait until later
You are the Bob Ross of Flight Sim 😉 Thanks for the advice!
Thank you for these videos this is going to be my first flight simulator keep them coming 👍🏻
Hi thanks for this video I need to check the other video to setup the controller out since watching this video my flight is so much smoother I.m currently on a trip around the world in a 777 will hopefully be making my first landing in a couple of hours at London Heathrow at night after watching your video and real time weather
Absolutely brilliant- thanks so much for these!
I'd like to group with someone who really knows whats up like this guy and do some training. hmu if you want to fly together on XB. I can land but I'm trying to learn the right way, and stocking to slower prop planes like 152 and Icon A5 (also great for sightseeing). Thanks for this video it is helpful!
These are brilliant. Thanks so much!
The best, dam, wish you did more flight sim vids
I wish you the actual one giving lessons in the game. This was exactly what I needed, thank you!
Squirrel's VPPL school. Nice vids, well done sir!
Great stuff mate.
These videos are good for players on any system to be fair :)
Fantastic could not land till i read this thanks you
That was a breathtakingly wonderful flight and an excellent video and tutorial. I am a total noob (at age 78) to sims and flying and don´t know what I´d do without your videos. Many thanks indeed.
A 78 year old who knows how to correctly use the word "noob” is a win in my books.
" _That is too high, too fast_ "
Hah, jokes on you Squirrel! Clearly you've never seen my happy landings ;p
180 loop onto the runway and somehow not crashing I did once and it was awesome xD
Of course, that was in Digital Integration's F-16 but... Myesh.
Great tutorial, thank you Squirrel!
Great videos love them helped me alot even had an A grade on a few landing challanges. Any chance you could do one for Auto pilot / entering landing patterns manually or automatically.
I have just been doing Cardiff to Bristol flights in the NEO and small airframe to practice. Great videos mate keep them comming
This is an awesome tutorial and explanation! I had a few real discovery flights. I find a lot of explanations you have in this flight simulation similar to the flight instructor said. I’m going to dust off my XBOX now 😂
Fantastic video! Thanks!
Best tutorial anywhere. Please do one for landing an air liner because I can't land them 🤣
Great tutorial!
This helped so much. Thank you, sir.
I already have a pilot's license, and don't own an Xbox, but I still watched all of these, haha.
how accurate is the game compared to real life?
@@giannis_tar The way the planes fly is very accurate. While you can't learn to fly well just from a sim, you can learn so much about the way the systems work. When I took my first flight lesson I was doing things like adjusting the trim without him telling me how. "How do you know to do that?" "Flight sim", haha. What you really lack is the feel. So much of flying is feeling what the plane is doing and you just have to fly a real one to get that.
All the 'before' landings look exactly like my landings.
Whoa! What happened to the airport? Half of it is floating above the other half. Lol.
Looks like they need to build some walls until tomorrow around those flying objects.
I am guessing (hoping) that this is simply a preview beta and what you rightly pointed out will have been resolved.
what are you refering to ?
?
@@nicofromtheweb4891 The last minute of the video after he landed and pulled off the runway, and he was taxiing in past the gates. The terminal buildings in front of the parked airliners had no walls, but only floating roofs that were magically hovering in the air.
On the PC version that Airport is fine, prob just a preview glitch. MSFS2020 still has bugs that are being ironed out even in the PC version and you can visit their forums, wishlist or roadmap snap shots to see what's happening and what they are working on.
As a beginner in MFS, this video was excellent, thank you so much for taking the time to explain each step in detail. Super well done!
Fantastic video keep me coming m8
Step 1: Power down Xbox
Step 2: Throw Xbox in the garbage
Step 3: build gaming PC
Step 4: fly like a normal person.
You really helped. Thank you!
You sounded just like my CFI Thanks
Nope. Trim did not change; stayed at 0.0 throughout your entire narrative of the trim needle changing. Also, what is the significance of the narrow green section on the trim indicator? Finally, what's a bumper?
Superb and simple
So glad I found your channel :) At what distance away from the runway should you start making your decent?
These videos are excellent. Thanks for sharing them. I'm interested to see how the compass works on this or is it all visual? How do u know which way to approach the runway and how far away you are? Thanks
Just found a couple of your videos on landings and I really appreciate the great tips you provide! Being a newbie, 66-year-old MFS pilot trainee, I think your tips have already helped a bit smoothing out my relationship with Mother Earth. Subscribed!
I remember when msfs launched on PC and i had no controller, but the keyboard and mouse :)) and basically i quite landed my planes using the mouse by adjusting the throttle and trimming it cause the num keys were unusable :)) only ailerons on keyboard, not even rudder :)) now i know how to land a plane with keyboard and mouse
Very good. I think that before trying a landing, learners first need to learn to fly SLOWLY. Learn to fly just above stall, high enough to allow recovery. Lots of people are scared to fly slow. But this is imperative for landings.
Amazing video
Really loved the video man, out all of the different ones I’ve seen this not only describes what to do but the reason behind it. Really loved it! If you want any suggestions for other videos, I would really love to see the process of starting a Cessna from a cold start and actually taking it off from the cockpit view. Or explaining takeoff and landing from other planes like a Boeing 777 and others. REALLY NICE VIDEO.
Thanks for your video, great help and can’t wait to try this. Just to check, at what point do you stop trimming? Just before touchdown or somewhere in the threshold? The bit I struggle with is just before the wheels hitting runway doing the bobbing up and down. Thanks in advance 👍
Thank you so much!!
Literally can't wait any longer, an entire world to explore, places to visit and landmarks to see it'll be like Google earth on steroids 🤣 don't play simulators very often but this is no ordinary sim...
I don’t even own an Xbox. Not sure why I’m watch this, but it was enjoyable.
This game is on PC too
Thx for this lets hope my landings at Heathrow is much better now 😅
I’m not sure I saw the trim numbers change at the bottom as you were making changes. What did I miss?
This video along with the previous 'getting started' video are both absolutely fantastic but have also created a dilemma. I feel confident that an Xbox Controller combined with my Logitech wireless keyboard with built in trackpad will be perfectly adequate to use for this game and I'm sorely tempted to send back my unopened HOTAS. I'm not convinced the HOTAS with only having the one stick will be as good when using external cameras or looking around the cockpit. Great informative videos though that explain everything in complete layman's terms for a noob to be like me.
There are so many cameras that you can just map em to your hotas as well. The controller is more or less used for the drone if you just want to want use it for that. Happy flying!
Im pretty sure you can use both hotas and controller together. Hotas makes smaller inputs much easier. On pc i use hotas to fly and the controller for extra buttons.
Nice landing instruction. One more point once on the ground Flaps up.
Finally a good tutorial, this was actually really helpful! I was doing so many things wrong when flying and landing but this just cleared everything up. Please make another video about the next important things about this game. There’s so much more to it 🙏
Im so scared this game will be to difficult but it looks great
If you turn on all the basic assists, turn off all the simulations (fuel, damage, etc.), the game is quite arcady and easy to play. Really enjoyable to explore different locations.
@@Pienimusta ty
Having bought the PC version on its release day, I agree it can look intimidating. I started off learning how to fly the sim in this very aircraft and as my "skills" improved, I ventured onto larger props then small jets. After 140 hours of flying I am about to embark on the largest passenger jets. All it needs is a lot of practice AND patience early on and it becomes very rewarding. Good luck.
I never played a flight sim before. Just turn on all assists and you’ll notice that after some time you’ll be getting cozier with the controls and will be turning them off one by one. It’s very easy to learn, lots of support.
It is too difficult. At least for me.
Man, I have the game preloaded on my Xbox, I'm so pumped to play, but holy shit, this sounds complicated as fuck! It's actually got me kind of intimidated to even play. I know it's a complete different realm of flying, but, I play a space sim called Elite Dangerous, and my experience with flying and landing in that game has always given me hope of flying in MSFS but damn man, this seems really involved and really kind of complicated. I hope I can learn this shit.
If you end up becoming a serious Flight-simmer, it can actually get super complex if you like that sorta thing.
@@Marc-ps9dn Just started playing today, and successfully made my first take off and landing with this video!
you bad pilot go pilot fo Japan in October 25th 1944
Practice, practice, practice!
That's really what it comes down to once you learn the basics.
Don’t give bad advice like that, new players might actually believe it…
Having flown for a weather modification program (not the pilot, just a copilot not accruing hours) in western Kansas, a lot of this rings true. You can tell you are a true pilot Squirrel. Nice work.
You are a credit to this community mate... an excellent video.
Hi, great tutorials will you be doing anymore? If so can you do a flight planning one
It would be great if you’d do a set of basic tutorials for something like the airbus too. This is so helpful.
