An Absolute Beginners Guide to Flight in Microsoft Flight Simulator 

The best youtube video on Microsoft Flight Simulator

This is the best video i have found on RU-vid for beginners. Thanks a lot Sir❤

Promised myself I'd try to learn Microsoft Flight Sim in 2024. Great Video thank you.

I learned a lot from this video, thanks so much!

I very much enjoyed this video. I learned a lot too.

Fabulous video, just playing for the first time today.

I agree with the comment below, thank you I will be looking forward to more just started on MSFS

Fantastic Video! Thanks! There are a lot of great videos out there. But you actually explained with simplicity the WHY something is happening. Even without being very technical one can understand the physics of why something is happening! Following your channel immediately!

Excellent tutorial, hope it's one of many. Clear and concise, explanations.

Thank you, great tutorial - after playing racing games on the xbox for many years I can feel the need to try the flight simulator as well

Trying to get to grips with MS Flight Sim again this year, Great introduction video, the best Ive found on you tube

Great video Everything unrushed and explained very well . I look forward to more of your videos Johnathan.

Simply Brilliant

👍🏻🙋🏻‍♂️Amazing lesson again, love this video tutorial as much as UK. Thanks.

My instructor used to say "power holds you up".

Thanks, nicely done!

Great content for beginners.....i´m learning a bunch. New to Flight Sim. Thank you so very much for your time.

Very informative Learned a lot from this video Ngl

Excellent video. Thank you.

Thanks Jonathan for a great video...I'm using Xplane11 and LittleNav map and I love it....just ordered my Honeycomb Bravo throttle and Alpha yoke and also the Logitech G pro flight rudder pedals....I'm all set to go :)....cheers

Exactly what it says on the tin, thank you 👍🏻

Thanks Jonathan for a great video.Amazing lesson again, love this video tutorial

Great Video. Thanks.

Great video and an excellent primer for a novice like myself. Thank you!

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks

Very well explained Johnathan, I am going to browse through your videos and soak in the information :)

This is a great video, thank you!

interesting video for beginners,

Great and easy to follow video. I'm 'about' to take the plung with MSFS and this video was so cool to watch and enjoy. Consider me subbed!

Great vid thanks

Thanks!

I can fly, but.....I CAN'T LAND! I'm gonna die! 😂

Outstanding video , Im just learning and your beginner videos are the best being able to see what the controls do in the outside the plane is so helpful. My question is I will mostly be flying small planes and it seems like it will be best and more realistic with a Yoke and peddles, or not? is this your every day every plane setup with a stick? Thanks

First step: wait one year for the most prominent bugs to be fixed. Wait, did they fix the tutorial already? Great!

Ramnik Khanna 1 second ago @Jonathan Beckett, thanks a lot for the video! Can you please do a more detailed tut on VFR landing in a C172, like when to start descending from the cruise altitude of say 8,000ft, while being 20-25 NM away from the airfield, the angle of descent, air speed / throttle and pitch control, when to deploy and increment the flaps etc.?

Wait, I think vanishing the yoke is not realistic.

Hey man great video, could you put a link to where you got your throttle and joystick?

It was real enough that I kept saying, "carb heat, carb heat"! You never know about carb ice even on a perfect day. And check you mags! (-: No kidding, a very nice refresher for this ol pilot!!

Just started with the badic training and enjoying this simulator. But man the programming of my Hotas is very limited and unfriendly compared to DCS

I'm just debating whether to get flight simulator and my biggest fear was can I get started in a very basic way until I'm comfortable and then gradually add more of what a would really do like he said, turning on lights contacting the tower etc so this has given me a lot of confidence that to start i can just easily get this wee plane in the air and just enjoy flying around. I first tried flight sim probably 30 years ago and it just started off already in the air and if you didn't do what it asked quite quickly it would just say, looks like you don't want to fly today and end the session so I just wanted to be sure as i say, I could start easily and it's even easier than I'd hoped. I'm assuming the uploader doesn't come back to this video in 2024 so does anyone know which version of flight simulator this is? The fact he made the vid in 2021 leads me to think this is Flight Sim 2020?

Hello, I'm enjoying your videos and channel. Can you please advise the model of the Thrustmaster kit you are using and whether it is Xbox compatible? Thank you.

Just started looking at Flight Sims, I would like to start with the basics and build up the accessories over time. What is the model Thrustmaster Joystick and throttle control are you using?

I don't know if you realised, but you never explained about ailerons. You did elevator and rudder and then said that's about it for control surfaces.

I want to know how to put myself in the air craft and how to choose an aircraft And locations.

How do you know that you have to turn 60 or 240 degrees? I open map and see the direction of runway then point my nose parallel to the runway in order to land. Am I doing wrong?

May I ask. What brand of joystick are you using? Thank you.

Where can I purchase the yoke you are using? Does it come with the throttle?

love your dialog minus the lip smacking...

What joystick is that?

This is not an absolute beginners guide. You did not tell us how you got to the first screen where you see the plane from the outside. Start with that and that's where an absolute beginner will start.
