In this video we take a look at the very clever new menu replacement (and SO much more) tool from those clever chaps at Parallel 42 with a short flight in the Blackbird Beaver.
As always //42 bringing innovative design and clever features this is something well worth checking out.
Flow will be available from Orbx on launch.
EGEO Oban Airport (North Connel) used in this video is by StudioCD and available here flightsim.to/file/12500/egeo-...

Thank you for this video. This is what I wanted to see to get a solid overview of Flow. Your manner of presenting and speech makes it a joy to watch tutorials like this. Thank you
Ah thank you so much sir, I am glad it was useful!
Must.Have! Thank you so much for this video! Clear and on point, as always :)
Thanks so much!
far more functions than I was expecting and a very cool interface
Yes when I first heard about it I had no idea it would have so much in it.
Awesome looking tool - much needed improvement to the MSFS UI. Thanks very much for the review!
Many thanks!
Looks like a very valuable extra set of tooling. Great vid again!
Thank you sir!
Thx for sharing your knowledge ! I bought Flow Pro as soon as it was released, super happy :)
Ah many thanks and glad you are pleased with it! It’s a very clever little tool!
Awesome Video, this really shows how switched on Parallel 42 are in the world of UI design.
Hey thanks and you are right, their eye for design is very very good.
Wow ! Great video ! That’s so cool ! 👍🙏🏻❤️👨✈️✈️
Many thanks Lee!
Video gave me something to think about, thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Brilliant video as usual from you. As others have said "a must have". It would be superb if I could use it to launch Spotify once I settle into cruise on those longer GA flights! Many thanks.
Many thanks! I guess if someone can write a script it could be done but what a great idea!!
Defo be getting this
Nice vid well explained
Many thanks!
Great video. Subscribed.👍
Many thanks and welcome on board!
Very cool. I wonder if I can create buttons for my night vision/IR/sunglasses ReShade shaders. Maybe in the Dev tools there's something. Great overview. I'll definitely get the Pro Version.
Hi great video . I was wondering did the ever talk about fly by camera view like IL-2 forgotten sim on button touch ?
Thank you! I guess that would be a feature that Asobo would need to add to allow Flow to point to it but I am surprised there isn’t one in MSFS.
I actually bought the Pro version of Flow some time ago, but havent had the time or opportunity to set it up and learn much about it. The way you prefaced the Pro version saying "if youre clever enough to use it" makes me wonder if ill be spending alot of time learning to take real advantage of all its features.
I fly almost 100% in VR. Only on some test flights do i fly in 2D. People seem to think its great so i figured what have i got to lose for the price.
The beauty of it is that if you aren’t up to writing the widgets etc then it is actually beautifully simple. I guess what I meant was if you are clever enough to ‘program’ the widgets.
@Dreamsofwings Thank you for clarifying about the widgets!! I have no idea about doing any of that either but at least it'll give me a good enough reason to at least read up about it (rtfm) enough to find out if it's worth it to learn how! Either way a useful sounding program. I know nothing of scripting either as far as doing them for pc's to run code or whatever it's used for. Thanks for the good video!
@@donc9751 many thanks! Hope you enjoy!
👏👏👏
Thanks. So does this mean we can now spawn at the departure airport with the flight plan loaded and "teleport" to an airport along the route without loosing the flight plan and continue flying? Currently we can't do this, without slewing or something.
Absolutely, using the Portal widget won’t break your flight plan as you aren’t exiting the flight as such.
I love this addon, I just wish it has ChasePlane cameras
I am really hoping to see Chaseplane in MSFS
is it possible to pop the circle out to another monitor away from the main operating screen,
many thanks
No it will only display in your main sim screen
Where does Flow determine friends come from? I have many friends on Xbox but nobody shows on Flow.
It takes it from the menu data in MSFS, ie if the MSFS online friends data is showing them online then so should Flow. If it isn’t then best raise a ticket with //42 with some screenshots.
cant get Nameplates to work !!! on Flow Essentials.
Can you add an option to toggle the headphone simulation? It’s a real pain to have to go to the main menu each time you want to put your virtual headset on….
I don’t see why not! All you need to know is how to write the script, or know somebody that can or keep an eye on flightsim.to after release.
Hello, I see that you are using Ambitious Pushback toolbar with flow: is it working for you ? If I click on the Pushback button into the flow wheel, nothing happens, but in the generic toolbar is worked. Do you find a work around for this ?
Yes I remember I had the same problem. It isn’t something I use very often so not tested it in recent builds. I just ended up using the default menu bar for that at the time.
@@Dreamsofwings Thanks a lot for your answer
@6:35 can you change your instrument views?
Yes they are listed on the left hand column of the camera widget at this timestamp
Can you advise how to set up-II am struggling how to map a button to it. many thanks
If you run the tutorial it tells you which command on MSFs you need to map. From memory I think it is toggle Help Menu. That is the MSFS command that opens Flow
@@Dreamsofwings thanks for super quick reply-this is the part i do not understand. Sorry. what/where is the toggle help menu.
@@rwy12 no problem, so you need to go into the Controls menu in MSFS and assign that control to whichever keyboard key or controller button you want to use. Unfortunately I am away from my computer so can’t double check it but if you look at the menus category under controls options in MSFS you’ll see it.
How do you get other simmer label so small?
flightsim.to/file/3530/ui-mods-and-tweaks-full-pack it is one of the mods in this pack.
Really clever. They obviously looked at the misgivings of Msfs UI and changed how it should have been at launch.
Absolutely!
when will VR be supported?
I believe it does work in VR but appearance might be slightly different. Might be worth you asking in their Discord perhaps?
What an incredibly intuitive add-on and a much needed needed improvement from the laggy microsoft UI. Would love to see a flight with the beaver sometime.
Yes the Beaver is great fun and Flow is a big improvement.
@bpk1234 Flow is an improvement, however, I have never hear anyone compaign that the vanilla UI is laggy.
@@Redridge07 Its bulky and is not smooth for a lack of better wording.
@@bpk-dz5qc Flow is a better designed UI, as I said in previous comment
Camera widgets mess up your presets though.
Had to uninstall and reinstall and the delete their camera widget.
No instructions how to set things back to default.
Not aware of that. Have you raised it with Parallel 42?
When is this available?
No set date at the moment but planned before Christmas
Nice, I bet it cannot give a single key fly-by camera view yet.
Yes it’s not really that kind of tool. Would need Asobo to build one or open up the SDK to allow someone like //p42 to be able to build cameras
@@Dreamsofwings Yep, hopefully oneday:)
Really had no interest in this app until watching this, now I am thinking what a great app.
Yes it’s more more than just a replacement for the menu bar and with users writing scripts and sharing it’s going to be really interesting to see how it develops as time goes on.
An other tool to fiddle around?! Noooo!
I have my tower window open, I have my Navigraph window open, what else we need to poster in the cockpit to make it playable?
Well obviously not something for you then. Simple.
28:14 "ago" just means you are already passed the TOD for your altitude
Yes keep watching, I explain that next lol
@@Dreamsofwings This was a very good review ... I bought it based on your video.
@@Redridge07 thank you! Really glad you found it useful!
How do you get the wheel 🛞 to pop-up ?
As part of the setup process you assign a button/key to it.
