Haha, I bought the Premium Deluxe Edition and now my purse DEMANDS ME to enjoy this game 😂👌 All jokes aside, I'm hooked. Still trying to comprehend/learn everything... but this game is simply something else.
Yep, it's incredibly deep and rich. I try and give pointers to everything you should be aware of, and assume someone who's interested will dig deeper on some topics, because it's impossible to explain every detail without it becoming too boring.
When I was training to get my private license, I flew the C172 exclusively in order to practice. I didn't want to get distracted by flying other airplanes.
i completly agree with you i always tell people to start with a c172 and then work your way up you will enjoy the sim more and it will help you understand the basics of flying so when you move up to something like an a320 neo or a 747-8i or just something bigger
Nah….just jump into an airliner and study, struggle, study, practice, struggle, and keep trying. After 2 months of working hard on the fenix a320, Ive become pretty proficient. Its been a lesson in many aspects of aviation. Being analytical and a bit on the ocd side, this challenge is actually enjoyable. Like my wife says “his idea of fun, and my idea of fun is two completely different things”. 😂
My thinking on this topic has changed a bit since I recorded this, but I still recommend to start with a smaller GA plane, then move to something like the TBM or the king air before making the jump to airliners.
@@FlightSimSchool ...yes, I agree with you. Was just being contrary. LOL. Although I did just into the a320 immediately and did in fact spend the first couple months learning about it, navigation, ILS approaches etc etc. After all of that work it makes learning another plane much easier. Ive really been focused on only a few planes. Fenix a320, Kodiak 100, and Citation Longitude. Getting ready to start in on the ATR and TBM. Already bought the ATR, but havent been flying it yet.
@@FlightSimSchool ….well, in all fairness I am extremely analytical. Engineering by profession, just for reference. So to say the least there is something about progressing through something new and difficult that I, for some strange reason, enjoy. And dont get me wrong, it was extremely tough to be absolutely new to simulators, as well as complex navigation systems etc, and work my way through. For every step I took forward, I many times took multiple steps back. Example: early on, when beginning study on the cockpit, I would hear a term like MCDU. Obviously I had no idea what that was. So I would have to pause a video, or bookmark an article etc, to then go look up videos on mcdu. Then as that video started someone would reference ILS or FCU or PFD, and again I would have to pause, backup, and search for yet another video or writeup. By the time I worked through that it may be several days, and only then could I go back to my original video on cockpit familiarity. It was an enjoyable headache to someone like me. 😂
I am sticking with the two cesna's right now. The one without the G1000 to get flight basics down, then with the G1000 to figure out the nav system and doing ILS and all that jazz. Then I will go to the TBM, then either dual engines or the jets after that. But yeah, I am aint touching the airliners for a good long time.
You should check out the Black Square lineup of products (if you’re on PC); the Bonanza comes with two variants, both with analog gauges, and the level of realism in both is top notch.
Thanks alot for this! Total beginner here. Are these planes that you have to buy in the game or are they free to play when you get like the standard edition of the game? You take care!
The ones in this video are part of the base installation, but there are more in the marketplace that you can purchase, and in fact the most realistic ones (not necessarily more difficult) are those available for purchase.
I chose not to include it since the C152 is fairly similar. I felt like a newcomer wouldn't really up-skill much going from one to the other, even if it's probably the best plane to learn all about the glass cockpits.
I would say quality over quantity, but the default planes (especially the larger ones like the A320 and 747) aren't that great and you need to install mods to make them more realistic.
My updated list of beginner & advanced default planes can be found here:

Same here 😂 automatically my favourite game because of this
Taking off with a propeller plane is harder than an A320 in my opinion, the smaller ones get thrown around so easy
That's why planes have a rudder
I started on the a320. Learned it in about 2 days

and learn VOR to VOR flying 1st before your fly with a computer like Garmins

@@jay-rus4437That's impressive, honestly. I always thought it was too complex to jump straight to the big jets, but you've clearly proven me wrong!

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for this great video!
Glad it was helpful!

That sounds like a great idea. I'd suggest trying the Grand Caravan before the TBM, it's a nice transition even if it just feels like a giant C172.
Great video!! Just what I was looking for.
Thanks, I love the way you explained everything. I wish you the best with your channel. Blessings!
How on EARTH do you not have more subscribers.
What a great idea for a video. Thanks a lot.
BBg36 is probably the best all around starter plane after the basics are learned. Looks like we had the same opinion. The citation is really awesome.
I would recommend the extra 300 LT
i LOVE the bonanza ! but i prefer the analog avionics.

This really helped thx so much
I'm starting with the Cessna 152

Great video!
i have a question did u get this game from the microsoft store or steam ?
I bought on Steam, and somewhat regret that choice. Buying from the Microsoft store allows you to port your license to Xbox at no extra charge.
2’nd day plagying flight sim here, i have allready go mach 10 at 200k
My dads recommend the Cessna cj4 but he almost just fly big as fuck airplanes xD
Depends on what you want. Do you want to fly airliners or smaller planes?
@@FlightSimSchool i did like the cj4 but i think il try to do something more simple tomorrow, like the cessna 172 or something
I find the 172 to be a bit slow after you're used to jets like the CJ4; the TBM930 is probably the best default plane these days and it's pretty fast.
How do you buy planes in the game
You can either go into the Marketplace or if you know which plane you want you can buy it online and install it in the Community folder
No C172?
I chose not to include it since the C152 is fairly similar. I felt like a newcomer wouldn't really up-skill much going from one to the other, even if it's probably the best plane to learn all about the glass cockpits.
Not many planes to chose from.

@@FlightSimSchool Its bad for the price i think
@@xrsuperduper7660 I wish they added more airliners and jets rather than propeller plames
