@@powerblazing3603 agree here but you have to keep one thing clear: You cant fly every Ga plane just because you mastered the 152 in the sim. If you know all the limits of it then theres a very good chance nobody will see you are just a sim Pilot.
@@germanstorms2785 oh believe me i know the difference. Flying a big plane is a very different thing and its giving me a hard time, which makes flying the smaller planes easier every time. Theres a great feeling of improvement when you get things right. Thanks to squirrel i now know how to flight stable, descend and ascent at certain speed with out my instruments going crazy! its fantastic.
Watching these tutorial videos has increased the enjoyment of the Microsoft Flight Simulator massively, you should be on the payroll for MS. looking forwards to the next video.
@squirrel The yellow arc represents the CAUTION SPEEDS also known as smooth air speeds. You're allowed to fly within the yellow arc but only when wing load factor is low and air is stable or not turbulent. But a standard 172 or 152 will never reach those speeds during accelerated/cruise flight, only on descents. I'm a private pilot working on my instrument rating now but I enjoy watching your videos and to see how you try to explain these concepts to non-pilot and new simmers! Love the content! Keep it up!
Airport charts are your friend in that case. The ATC gives you directions using taxiway names (letters and numbers), you write those down and look for them on a chart and use it just like a map :) It gets complex at big airports
The taxi instructions to GA parking at Brussels National are still giving me nightmares. . It just went on, and on, and on. . . and on, and on, and on. 😱🥵 My mistake though. I exited the runway to the left, GA parking was to the right so it looped me right around the airfield crossing runways 3 times. Fun times :D
I don't know where your sub count was a week ago, but I'm betting you'll be hitting 1M subscribers before you know it. I just found you, and I really appreciate how articulate, knowledgeable, and helpful you are. Thank you!
Sorry to be so off topic but does someone know of a way to get back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly forgot my login password. I would appreciate any help you can give me
@Jeffery Julio Thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
Great one Sqrl! Did you find the 'real' pause function already? To help out: In controls config / keyboard set search filter to ALL and search for PAUSE. You will find two unbinded Pause entries: PAUSE and PAUSE OFF (yes, TWO keybinds needed for ONE action). I 've set PAUSE to P and PAUSE OFF to CTRL-P. Works as you'd wish it would do. 😋
@@dcviper985 I find it hard to understand. I recently started flying in MSFS2020. Can you tell what to look for before starting with Autopilot. I am able to fly visually but I can't understand where to begin if I want to fly with instruments
I had always thought about flaps as increasing the wing curvature, rather than altering the angle of attack. The principle is the same, in that lift is increased. I like how you're covering all of these aspects that many MSFS players would overlook.
Flaps do both things. They do increase curvature (or camber). And they also increase the angle of attack because with them deployed, the wing's trailing edge is lower than when retracted, i.e., the chord line (the line from the leading edge of the wing to the trailing edge of the flap) changes significantly whey flaps are deployed.
Please keep this type of content coming! Just managed a VFR flight in the 152 from EGGE (Rougham Bury St Edmunds) out along and down the coast to Felixstowe, down the river Orwell, then followed the A14 back to land at Bury. This sim is amazing.
I would just like to point out that the top of the white arc is max speed for FULL flaps. I was taught that below 100 knots IAS you CAN deploy 10 degrees of flaps if you need to slow down. Doing so will slow you quickly to below 85 knots. Not something I ever had to do, but it's good to know in case you need it. I haven't broken a plane yet.
The best explanation I've ever seen! Thanks. You should have been a physics teacher! Anyway, the way I have handled the Bernoulli Principle is to think of two particles of air: one hits the wing and goes under the bottom; one hits the wing and goes over the top. Both are pounding on the wing due to their thermal motion in all directions. They started out next to each other, and conservation of momentum requires that they remain together. The one going over the top has to speed up to catch up with the one going under the bottom, so the one going over the top has to move faster to meet the one going under the bottom. Bernoulli's Principle says that that means that the pressure down from the one on the top will be less than the pressure up from the one on the bottom. Lift! I won't go into the math, but the math bears me out. Keep up the good work!
Just want to thank you for all these tutorials! I'm getting so much more enjoyment out of the sim, because of these lessons. Instead of me bumbling from one airfield to the other, I actually feel like I'm controlling a plane now, and understanding what is happening,
I started with FS98 towards X-plane11 and have about 5 hours of real flight training. I am not a rookie. But boy, these videos really put me back on track again. I am going to love the new MSFS 2020. Keep them coming!
I'd love some future tutorials about manual navigation, something that would be useful for the bush trip activities. I'm really struggling to understand steam gauge navigation and the in game tutorial is useless. I've watched your whole tutorial series to this point and you're really helping me learn to fly! Thank you!
I would recommend having a look at PC Pilot magazine. They have a long-running series called Back to Basics, which covers all that sort of stuff. Back issues are usually available.
On one hand I love short videos because I can use them for reference. But I love your videos because I actually understand the concepts behind flying. Instead of blindly following flaps instructions.
Your videos are so helpful. A calm voice, orderly presentation, and friendly demeanor. I would love to have you as a real flight instructor. Thank you for all your videos.
I'll have to say, your videos are the key to a non-frustrating entry into the world of flight simulation. So far I have done all of your tutorials in MSFS2020 and I am really enjoying it. After only three days I am able to take off, trim the aircraft, take a look around in this beautiful world and then perform a heavy bump somewhere behind a runway into the ground, so I am totally looking forward to your next tutorial :) Till then I stick to that little water aircraft, which is really great and in which I managed to land in the rhine near cologne today, smooth as butter. Thank you!
Only just discovered you over these last few weeks as I’ve only just veered into the flight simulator world from racing sims. Thank you very much for this video series, it’s absolutely invaluable for a complete noob such as myself 👍🏻
Another brilliant tutorial, thank you. I count myself a beginer pilot and it´s incredible how much I´ve learnt going through your tutorials, so well presented and so informative.
Thank you so much for this. The cessna flight training in MFS references 'adding flaps' so briefly but didn't explain how or why. Your explanations are perfect.
Loving this tutorial series. I’m completely new to flight sims but I’m really enjoying Msfs2020. Knowing nothing about flying, these videos are so informative. Thanks Paul these videos are just what I needed. Can’t wait for more.
I've trained for my PPL and this is exactly what I was learning with and instructor. These videos are so awesome and they make me want to get back in the air! I can't wait for the full series! Hopefully a landing video is on the way!
That was such a good explanation of flaps. As a new player of flight sims this was enormously helpful. I'll be sure to look up your other videos. Thank you.
Really good tutorial series! I'm learning all the stuff that I haven't learned properly in the game's own tutorial. Looking forward to properly figuring out how to properly navigate in this Cessna.
Like some other comments, your channel is going to blow up congratulations on all the hard work and dedication. Been loving the game so far and even as a non-enthusiast, it's still very manageable and your explanations are awesome! good luck getting to 1m hope you've got some epic flights planned!
Another great tutorial Squirrel. I really appreciate your calm, relaxed approach to these tutorials. I'm guessing that if you have a "day job" you are a college Professor. I hope you keep up these MSFS 2020 lessons and when finished perhaps get into the general intricacies of flying. Kind of like what one would get in pilot ground school. Your tutorials are especially needed since Microsoft has chosen to not provide us with an online user manual. Very disappointing.
Flying out of Barton (EGCB) we always used 10 degree of flap on takeoff for the very reasons you suggested. Flap retract at 700ft. Thanks for the great instruction.
Flightsim 2020 has got me into Flight Simming and I have learnt SO much thr last couple of days with your videos, thanks! Hope you do something on navigation and autopilot at somepooint 😊
Thank you for these videos. New follower, but an avid one now. I’ve always been amazed with flying, but never had the means to pursue it. Now I have the means and everything is closed due to virus. My computer will be built Friday and I appreciate your videos on the basics of flying. It’s nice to see someone one UA-cam that isn’t just grabbing a jet and flying as fast as they can.
These are just great. Your explanations are so clear. THANKS! Wish I had come upon these when starting a couple of months ago! But still I pick up something from each one.
Thank You very much: I am a beginner and I've already learned a lot watching Your video's. That's what one really needs to make progress. Wonderful instructor! Ulrich
Great Videos. New on Flight Sim. Looking forward to see navigation and radio tutorials in MS FS 2020! Keep up the excellent work. One of the best teatcher i ever had :) Clean and simple.
Superb tutorials. Thank you from a flight sim noob, your tutorials have made me want to actually ‘fly’ instead of just bumbling around the skies like a demented nut case.
Another wonderful video, thank you Squirrel! There is a "normal" pause mode that you can assign to a key or button. Only downside is that there is one assignment for "pause on" and another for "pause off", so you need to assign two keys or buttons. Only the developers know why there is no "toggle pause" assignment ...
Just a little heads up, flaps create lift by changing the shape of the wing (camber) resulting in a greater pressure differential in flight between the top and bottom of the wing. You can find out more by reading about Bernoulli's Principle. The deployment of flaps isn't about creating a change in the angle of attack, which is determined by the relative wind and the cord line of the wing. Most people confuse angle of attack with pitch attitude, they're not the same. With increased lift you also increase drag (induced drag) so as you add flaps on an approach you'll need to lower the nose (pitch) of the aircraft to maintain the approach speed you were maintaining before the flaps were added. As you increase the degree of flaps (10, 20, 30) you will need to lower the pict attitude to maintain your approach airspeed. Flaps are not only used to lower the stall speed and slow the aircraft but to increase your rate of descent as you approach the runway for landing. You can't always make a 3 degree glide slope approach due to obstructions (trees, power lines) on the approach end of a runway.
Hi Squirrel. Loving this series. I would love to see a video tutorial on proper use of ATC and radios. I'd also love to see a video (or videos) tutorial on the various Garmin glass screen cockpit aircraft (I believe there are 2 Garmin systems? The G1000 and the G3X)? I primarily fly the XCub and know there is a lot of potential in those little screens, I just don't know how to make best use of them!
I already know this, but theres always something extra you can learn. I succesfully recreated your capetown flight and your video was the key to actually get familiar with the cr22.
Thanks so much, these are the BEST tutorial video's I've seen so I just Subscribed. I've owned MSFS 2020 for a few weeks & am still struggling with many of the keyboard commands. These video's showed me things I didn't know existed concerning camera settings & such. I'm an ex-pilot so flying is not the issue ...it is figuring out what does what & where with the plethora of options. Do you do a tutorial on the Spitfire? It has a rather peculiar take-off pitch setting that I just can't nail! ...lol.
Hey Squirrel - could you edit your thumbnails so the text doesnt go behind the video length box please? Then you can read the subtitle fully on Subscriptions page. Cheers! Loving the vids!
Who needs PPL lessons if you've got a personal instructor like Squirrel? I simply love your style, the pace of teaching, the tone of your voice. Keep them coming: I cannot get enough of your lessons. I like MSFS2020 very much, too. The immersion, the realism, simply awesome. I eagerly await VR. I feel sorry for Austin Myers and his team. Whilst X-Plane still keeps the edge on some specific points, one must admit that Asobo has taken a clear lead.
this is my favorite YT channle right now. Thank you very mucho. btw, i got 2 questions: 1)is cessna 172 pretty similar to this one? because im trying to learn that one and im doing really really good. 2) I recently learnt that runways have their number because of the direction that are facing, so if you are supposed to land on runway 12 then the heading should be 120. What i dont understand is how to know from where to take that heading, like if im at a certain position (far from the airport) and i head towards 120, i might actually be heading away from where the airport is...i hope it makes sense
1)they are similar to how they fly only small diffences. 2)you cant just fly a heading and expect to be lined up. the heading is just the runways direction. so lets say you are north of the airfield you sould fly 180 (south) and then line yourself up with the runway. then onnce you are facing the runway. you can fly that heading so you wont drift. sos if i explained it hard. for years the flight sim community has never had so meny new people so it hard to explane basic things and people were exepected to know them lol. have fun though its amazing once you getr into it. :)
A tutorial for ILS landings in both glass cockpit (g1000 etc) and old style cockpits would be fantastic. Seeing so many conflicting tutorials. People doing things differently.
Its SHOCKING how many things long time Aviation Enthusiasts like me can learn from these kind of Videos eben if you dont expect it! Thanks Sqrl
its shocking how someone that has never got on a plane can learn how to actually fly these things with just a game and good mentor like squirrel!

@@piotrkol91 that's lovely.... where are these charts?

These video's showed me things I didn't know existed concerning camera settings & such. I'm an ex-pilot so flying is not the issue ...it is figuring out what does what & where with the plethora of options. Do you do a tutorial on the Spitfire? It has a rather peculiar take-off pitch setting that I just can't nail! ...lol.
A great series of videos, please keep them coming...
Your tutorials are the best! Thank you
Great information, really enjoying these videos and learning a ton.
Another great tutorial Paul, thanks a lot.
Learning so much. Thanks Squirrel👍!
the best virtual flight instructor in the flight sim world
I feel like a pilot with all this information. Waiting for more!
I'm enjoying this series. Thanks!
Great video!
Great work as usual Squirrel, thank you.
Love your channel Squirrel! The godfather of Simulation :P
Loving theses tutorials. At some stage can you look at Track IR and its benefits if any with the new FS2020. Thx Heaps
Excellent explanation. Thank you
Thank you, I already learned a lot of your video’s.
Excellent stuff. Very helpful, thanks.
YES! more tutorials! Thank you Squirrel :)
Thank you Sir.............your tutorial is the best
Very useful! Thanks for the great tutorial!
Hey Squirrel - could you edit your thumbnails so the text doesnt go behind the video length box please? Then you can read the subtitle fully on Subscriptions page. Cheers! Loving the vids!
Who needs PPL lessons if you've got a personal instructor like Squirrel? I simply love your style, the pace of teaching, the tone of your voice. Keep them coming: I cannot get enough of your lessons. I like MSFS2020 very much, too. The immersion, the realism, simply awesome. I eagerly await VR. I feel sorry for Austin Myers and his team. Whilst X-Plane still keeps the edge on some specific points, one must admit that Asobo has taken a clear lead.
Thank you for your videos. I love your voice. (French Canadian here.) Take care. : )
this is my favorite YT channle right now. Thank you very mucho.
btw, i got 2 questions: 1)is cessna 172 pretty similar to this one? because im trying to learn that one and im doing really really good.
2) I recently learnt that runways have their number because of the direction that are facing, so if you are supposed to land on runway 12 then the heading should be 120. What i dont understand is how to know from where to take that heading, like if im at a certain position (far from the airport) and i head towards 120, i might actually be heading away from where the airport is...i hope it makes sense
1)they are similar to how they fly only small diffences. 2)you cant just fly a heading and expect to be lined up. the heading is just the runways direction. so lets say you are north of the airfield you sould fly 180 (south) and then line yourself up with the runway. then onnce you are facing the runway. you can fly that heading so you wont drift.
sos if i explained it hard. for years the flight sim community has never had so meny new people so it hard to explane basic things and people were exepected to know them lol. have fun though its amazing once you getr into it. :)
Thank you for your tutorials..theres so much to learn :D
A tutorial for ILS landings in both glass cockpit (g1000 etc) and old style cockpits would be fantastic. Seeing so many conflicting tutorials. People doing things differently.
Wonderfully explained in real life...
