✈ How Do You Create Flight Plans in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020? ✈ 

I like how Microsoft combine an easy approach for all the beginners and more complex procedures for expert simmers. I believe this simulator is going to be fine for occasional gamer as well as old simmers.

Wow , Microsoft really did a great job. they've thought of almost everything.

Loving this - it makes me so excited for next Month! Keep em coming mate!

Thank you for this! ❤️ I’m stoked for MSFS 2020 ❤️

Microsoft 2020 will be my 1’st flight sim. Been watching you and others on Twitch and looking forward to getting started. Your channel is so informative and interesting. Thx !

Once again, thank you Matt! This is awesome! Buying my new game pc on the 26th of August, just a few days after the release of MSFS20, can’t wait to fly around in this amazing new sim😍

Thank you 👍🏻 It’s so refreshing to hear a clearly narrated video which isn’t too waffly and slow, but contains everything you need to know.

This is the area of flight sim I’ve been struggling with. This really really helped, I’ll watch the video on how to follow the route now. Thanks.

Thanks Chewwy I needed this!❤️

Just got this game omg this has made it so easy to fly to different locations thank you!

Thanks for this, been wondering how to setup these flight paths after just getting flight sim last week! Really enjoying it so far, great vid 👍🏻

Awesome! After watching your MFS 2020 videos I've finally preordered the premium deluxe version to get my hands on my favorite aircraft (787-1000) Can't wait to get in the skies!

great video and explanation on the flight planning, keep it up in future videos 👍

Just the video I was looking for, thanks Matt!

Glad the flight plan is detailed like that . Great Job !

Thanks mate. You really are a good educator. Keep on posting.

Great video, straight to the point and helped a lot!

Great video, I've been looking for this info, for some time. Thanks very much!

Created this flight plan and flew it, awesome advice and I had the best flight so far, thank you

oh my god I love you chewie. How have I never seen those before. The straight line has been confusing me for a while. Will that also set up the ILS frequencies - do you have to choose an ILS approach for that to work? (not been able to get that working either)

As an instrumented rated pilot, I think this looks great. This is exactly what I was hoping for and wondering if they'd implemented. Now, it'd be even cooler if you could just "file" this and then when you went to the actual plane, ATC might give you something else! But I know that's probably too much to ask. Anyway, looking forward to seeing you actually fly this, and hoping to see you doing it with ATC.

Calzzyy here Chewwy. Makes me want to cry looking at how bloody good this is. Wow I'm in shock :D CAN NOT WAIT!

Thanks so much! Got this game two days ago and havent played on it much since I havent had time. Im doing my research so I’m ready to get straight into flying. Helped alot, thanks!

Love the content mate!

Thank You man. This is so good, I appreciate the tutorial.

Love the content, would love to see some water landings in the Icon A5!

Very clear video, thank you so much for your efforts!

This is great! No one else has really done an in-depth walkthrough on the A320 and a full flight. Looking forward to it! Any idea when it'll be up?

Subbed cas of this vid alone; quick and simple. Thanks!

to be honest i was expecting flight planner just like that.. But sids and stars? thats amazing! Im flying around for years but on medium experience level, i dont mind feed FMC with information, but a easy and user friendly flight planner is that what im looking for, Thanks for showing this Chewwy! Looking forward to see you flying that flight Cheers

Thanks bro this really helps 🥰

Awesome, very helpful video!

Great video, thank you for no ads.

Great video! I learned that selecting IFR is important, probably should have figured that out by myself lol. Greetings from Norway!

Can you also create your own flight plan in the fmc? Like if you "spawn" in Manchester, and then do you own flight plan in the fmc to London Heathrow? Btw good video!

Thank you. Fairly new to flight sims and wondered how you created a flight plan. Did my first flight as a straight line and arrived at the wrong angle for the runway and panicked lol. Now I'm off to find out how you use the autopilot (I have some vague memories of AP in an earlier flight sim). Much appreciated, good video

Awesome, Thank you for this tutorial !!

Thank you so much for making this video. I am new to flight sims and this video was very helpful.

Brilliant video.. thankyou.. iam new to flight sims and videos like this are a must..

I can't wait for this!

Thanks for the tutorial helped me out a lot

Great Vid brother

This was SOOOOOO needed. Very helpful video! I don't care if I'm a few years late - THANK YOU!

Many thanks, precise and clear!

Thank You so much!!! Nice video! 👍

I never comment but thank you so much, new subscriber because you deserve it!!!

Thanks Chewwy! Good video. I'm struggling trying to find information and how-to material on setting Vnav altitudes for specific waypoints. Do you know how to do this or is it even active yet?

This video was extremely useful for me, thaks a lot.

WOW Thank you so much this really helps. Im soon buying msfs 2020 the best one

Thanks so much for this very helpful :)

I like quick vids like this. If I miss something, I can go back. The long ones are excruciating.

The nav log button shows you the profile of the flight and lets you change the altitude of each leg.

Thank you so much you’re a legend!!

Cheers mate, great video.

I want to see how the AI ATC handles approaches where you usually get shortcuts - like in Italy or long STARs like in Budapest etc. or arrival in LTN where you usually get vectored to avoid Stansted

Thank you for doing us UK flight simmers proud. Concise, to the point and using the 'blah blah blah' expression effectively to avoid making this a 40min video ! Should have come to this first now that I have wasted over an hour on other tutorials that have too much fluff.... Thanks again.

Glad you routed yourself correctly over my house :) I get to see the big planes stacking up on that route. I wonder if anyone knows if it's possible to put things on a clipboard/notepad (or the tablet I think they have in the planes now), so we can look at it when we're in the cockpit? This was on of my favourite things in FSX - I typed up my cold and dark checklist manually and 'held it' in-game on the little notepad, and I had all my flight plans and maps on there too so I could check them. I know the HUD is much nicer and more functional but I hope they have this stuff too... I believe I remember browsing websites in-game via the PDA thing in FSX (it's been a while).

Nice video Matt

That was quite interesting... Thank you!

Awesome. Just got a Series X and I’m loving this game

awesome video thank you so much

I wonder if PMDG will auto complete it's FMS with this flight plan like the default aircraft do. I LOVE this visual flight planning method.

So glad they added SIDs and STARs! I hope they get updated!

Thanks. I set up complex flight plans thanks to your info and saved them. I also found after saving a flight plan it's pretty easy to change many things of that plan with Word Pad. One snag was (maybe a bug) I found for some reason, after loading a plan I was now in the dark even though I'd saved in daylight. I then found no weather icon in the toolbar once the flight plan was loaded as apparently it gets turned off in this situation so no way to fix this. However, loading the .flt doc and editing was easy enough and I was also able to change the plane type, time, and weather. Remember to make a copy of the original first.

Great Video. Thanks

Hi Chewwy, thank you for this. FS 2020 is my first flight sim ever. Been watching Squirrel for a long time and wanted to but never did. All of that to ask, is making a flight plan the same for all aircraft? I've just been doing the "point A to point B" flights. I didn't even know you could do all of this. Thanks again! Oh and btw, you got yourself a new sub. Have a great day from Waco, Tx

Great! It really looks like a well designed software.

i'm so hyped for this game when it comes out!!!

Onow you can add an extra airport to land. However I could find a way to make an IFR flight with 2 ILS landings configured in the flightolanbmenu. Is it possible or not after adding an extra stop like a fuel stop land there with ILS and after refilling and departing. The flightplan goes right further to your final destination?

That’s extremely intuitive. Not exactly realistic but overall definitely makes everything easier.

Im almost an 1: 30 into my flight and i was curious how to do this, never knew it was so simple, now i gotta do a manual decent and approach

Omg you ´re the best i never new that thanks🤟🤟🤟

Any idea how this flight planner works in the background? Interested if its going to be able to keep up with all the airac cycles with the default flight planning engine or if navigraph integration will be required at some point to keep up with all changes.

Great video, thanks. I like flying the light planes Cessna 172, king air 350, etc and mostly vfr.How do I tell the flight plan what my cruising altitude will be. Or, do I need to?

You're an absolute saint! Thank you!

Can you choose what gate to arrive at?

Excellent. Thank you.

What I’d like to know is once I’ve arrived at the destination, how do I plot a new course without leaving the session?

Hello, there are some rules to decide which departure and arrival route? I mean, the naming has a specific lettering or a legend do understand? Sometimes I create a flight (IFR) and can't find a decent combination and I try every single setting possible, it shows me some crazy corners and wrong path to fly, totally unnatural, is it a bug or you can't create a realistic ifs route in the game with some airport combination? Thanks.

First of all, great video. Could you please make one explaining how to follow that plan once you are flying? I´m struggling so bad with that

thats great but....how do you pick a new location once you landed somewhere?

Can you do a video of how to get up the mode where it shows you how to start any aeroplane from cold and dark by giving you directions of what to do and when to do it or does anyone know how to access it?

Can you draw a custom flight path and have auto pilot fly it? I want to fly around the pyramids in Egypt on autopilot

What if i just want to stick some GPS waypoints on the map to plan some nice VFR route i want to follow on the NAV? like a tour going through different landmarks

It helped me so much

nice vid... thx alot, u saved my life ;)

¡Thanks for the great and clear help!

Thank you man!

How do you plan a circuit? To land at the same airport you departed from?

Hi. Can you input your own routings? Are NATS and PACOTS supported for trans-oceanic flights?

Is it possible to set the plane direktly to the landing approach from the map?

Hi, 2 doubts it's possible to set a flight plan with some stops and second one is the Traffic alert and Collision Avoidance System functionality active in this new FS? Thanks

Thank you for the help

If i want do multiple destinations, land and depart again, I can do so? or I need evertyime to set from the main menu?

Can't wait for the flight. When are you uploading? Also is the auto pilot working ok?

How do you choose the right sid/star without charts?

is it possible to add like a stopover airport where i can land, refuel and continue the flight

i hope you're gonna do a full proper cold and dark start up with the a320 on your next video when you fly the route...

How do you set up a flightplan whilst in game? Especially needed when setting up a return leg and don't want to exit to the menu.

Thanks for putting this up, I have finally gotten a computer capable of the new msfs. It's going to take some time to get used to, haven't done any simming since the Ultimate Global Tour server went down, and boy do I miss fs9 with fsnav running lol
