The career is one of the best things that was introduced to flight sims. Bravo to Microsoft, Asobo, and the team and developers that were assigned to work on this amazing feature. FS2020 was so boring for me but I cannot stop playing FS2024.
I remember playing a few hours of MSFS 2020 and, since I wanted something like Career Mode, paying for the third party mod "On Flight" which kinda did this... I'm glad to see it incorporated as a mode in the game itself now.
@@beatlejuice1165hahaha same been trying for 3 days now the game is an absolute shambles! Haven’t even managed to load into an airport yet! It either freezes and crashes or I sit in an endless loading screen. Nice one Microsoft and Asobo great game -10/10
42:30 You will get gigged if you exceed 20 knots on the taxiways/aprons. The official guideline is you should "never taxi at a speed higher than a brisk walk"... Yeah. Right. 3.5 knots... 😒 I find 10 knots is a usable speed that still allows control for braking/turning yet doesn't mean it will take a half hour to get to the runway. Your target engine RPM in a C172 should be 800-900. You'll need more than that to start moving, but the 800-900 range seems to work well for maintaining speed on flat terrain. Up-slopes and down-slopes will, of course, change things. 48:11 You need to keep the speed BELOW 87 knots, not AT 87 knots. The C172 has a flaps-up stall speed below 65 knots. A good speed for flying around the Point of Interest is 75 knots. This allows for things like gusts of wind momentarily increasing or decreasing your airspeed. 48:51 At this point in the approach in a C172, you should be at 65 knots with 2 notches (20 degrees) of flaps extended. This runway is very long for a C172 so you could get away with no flaps, but your tires will not like you when you touch down. Always better to touch down at the slowest safe speed. The flaps speed is indicated by the white bar alongside the speed tape. Maximum speed for having flaps extended in a C172 is 82 knots. Chop your throttle and fly level until your speed is in the white bar area of the speed tape, THEN extend flaps. Note that if you THEN pitch down, you could increase speed past the white bar and you'll get flagged for exceeding the Flaps Extended speed, so you need to keep monitoring your speed throughout the approach and landing. You also carried 1000 RPM of throttle even after passing the runway threshold. Once reaching the threshold of the runway is guaranteed, you should cut throttle completely to get down to a safe landing speed AND to slow down quicker once on the runway.
Adding a notch of flaps during slow flight will help during the "scenic" portions of flight. Not having bought 2024 yet I can only guess that slow flight was covered in the flight training you skipped. It was definitely a part of my PPL training in IRL. Oh and..."pitch for speed, power for altitude."
If you're going to fly with a controller, you should spend some time tweaking the sensitivity settings for pitch, roll and yaw. (especially Yaw) There's tons of videos on YT on how to set it in fs2020 and it works pretty much the same in 2024. (click the gear icon next to the control axis and look for the sensitivity icon in there) The idea is to make it less touchy for small control movements near center while still having full control input with large movements. I'd try -.55 to -.65 for each of those inputs with no deadzone and see if it feels easier to fly.
Banks in excess of 30º make your passengers complain about things like "turbulence". On First Flight missions, you'll be taken to the point of interest where you'll circle the POI at around 1000 AGL and 80 -83 Knots. Things are made easier of you get to the altitude/airspeed before you enter the circle. Once you get your Commercial Certificate, "Flightseeing" missions are exactly like First Flight missions, except you'll have more than one POI to circle (and you get paid!) A heads up on small cargo delivery missions once you get your CPL... In the Italian region, if they give you a delivery to Marina Di Campo (LIRJ) and want you to land on Rwy 16, request Rwy 34 instead. The delivery was worth over 5K credits to me, but the 16 approach passes THROUGH a high hill only about 0.8 nm from the threshold. Compounding this, the runway is only 3114 feet long with the Mediterranean Sea only about 600m past the end. Unless you're in a STOL aircraft, you can't land on Rwy 16. Before you get your Instrument rating they give you basically 0 winds, so either runway should be fine, but the mission insisted on Rwy 16 and I couldn't request the alternate. I took a hit for landing on an unapproved runway.
Really? I’m on series s and apart from occasionally lag spikes it’s working ok for me I admit day one was horrendous but now it’s much better try reinstalling it
Love to see more in the series. Shouldn’t you use flaps on takeoff also to help your rate of climb? Love to see a mission in Fife close to me perhaps a tour of the 3 bridges?
If you go through the PPL training in the game, they recommend 1 notch (10 degrees) of flaps for take-off, but while getting my real PPL we only used 1 notch of flaps for rough field or short field take-offs. On paved runways, a notch of flaps isn't necessary unless it is a SHORT paved runway.
Max taxi speed is like 15-20 knots i cant remember... but it should be very slow and deliberate. When landing, the first set of flaps should come out and slow to about 90 on base full flaps on final keep speed steady around 70 and cut power just over the trees and let it float down the run way. keep the nose up as long as possible to help slow you down then hit the brakes. if you did it right you should use up half the run way to stop max. sad to say the xbox controller is not the best for the flight... a flight stick will do so much for you but use what you got and have a blast with it :D On take off set flaps to half and raise them as you get to 90-100 knots.... With the flaps set you should lift off and climb without any inputs.
I hope this will do good to become a series. This is how I play most games ,struggling and trying my best 😂 love this video .I haven't laughed this hard in to long time 😂❤😂
Please do a mission out of the San Gabriel Valley Airport in El Monte, CA. I have eaten at the diner there and watch the small aircraft take off and land.
The first airport I went to I can’t certify because the map is glitching and has a huge cliff inbetween the hanger area and the damn runway and it keeps crashing the plane trying to get there!! So annoying. Got start over and pick somewhere else
Thank you for your positive video. A lot of negativity out there now, but you show us this epic new mode in MSFS without the need of external software like Neofly. Sure there are problems, but this mode looks really promising!
😂 your laugh as the people entered the aircraft. Cracked me up. I am waiting to purchase this for awhile. The gameplay and from what i hear i would be really frustrated with the game and loading.
the game hasn't been that buggy for me i have only encounter visual bugs all minor in my opinion. and there is only the loading screen at the start 1 to 2 minutes, picking new plane can take a little bit but after you can change your plane and location in less then 20 seconds
Hey GameRiot great vids. I think we must be neighbours. I doubt your passengers would enjoy the tour of stanford no hope lol. Where are you from. Im going to have to buy this game now lol.
How you got the blue markers to know where to fly.. I’m going aimlessly trying to fly over the airport lmao.. I can see on gps but I’d like to have the guidance like you 😂
@ it was in setting and assistance, I can’t remember what exactly it was lol, but it was unchecked and most of the others were.. it will be a visual one, I’ll have a look again when I’m next on!
I've noticed the EFB flight planner always uses a cruise altitude of 100ft. Obviously that's a non-starter. I noticed Navigraph just released an update that adds MSFS 2024 support via Simbrief. I'm going to start using SimBrief to plan the route and then load the SimBrief flight plan into the EFB. Cruise altitudes should be usable then.
I managed to get my PPL and started my First flight - I am now in a window with me outside the Cessna and in the top right there is a window which contains the following " Mission Steps /Preflight -Press "Take Control of Character" to enter aircraft -- underneath that it says "Hold Next Flight Phase" to skip to taxi -- please ,please tell me how do I do this from within this window or what do I have to do next -- HELP!
I've given up on it for a few days or weeks. Tried again today finally got to careers mode and it bugged out fully. Game is not playable in it's current state.
Cant get it to load. Stuck on the character creation. Edit: Restarted the game and its downloading packages and updates. What the hell is the point of pre-downloading when you need to download it all over again when it launches.
Ich habe diese ganzen Navigations Hilfen nicht. Bzw werden sie mal angezeigt und mal nicht. Ich habe die erste Lizenz auf Anhieb bestanden aber mir hat der Flughafen nicht gefallen. Habe die Karriere neugestalten und jetzt schaffe ich die Prüfung nicht mehr. Obwohl ich alles richtig mache bekomme ich 0% bei flughöhe und co.
Not sure I've laughed this much making a video before. Sorry this video is so late but would love to do more if you guys want to see it :)
I want to see more flight sim.
there is a white line / range on speed where you can use flaps
More more more… thank you 🙏
I about died when you did 91 airspeed and trying to land amd then nit stopping on time lol soo funny. Please keep going with this game
Yes please show all parts and keep filming and uploading every second of career mode
"I might be coming in a little bit too fast" (Is landing at 120knots) that made me laugh so hard
lol Some of the missions landings on microlight runways are death traps they so short if not perfect you won’t stop in time 😂
Love it! just started a 3 hour career with a bunch of loading screens and leveled up to the next loading screen

Refunded this hot garbage while I still had time!
you can play it? Wow I dream one day I can get past the menu without low bandwidth issue on a 1Gb line!

Loved the laughter. It's nice to watch someone play that is at my skill level. Would like more flight sim.
Love to see you on this, my first flight i nose dived the runway takes some getting used to lol great vid !!
100% loving this already Scott! If you could make it around Edinburgh, where I'm from, that'd be cool as!
I've been considering getting this, you convinced me. Despite the weird bug where your co-pilot was replaced by a big ERROR flag to begin with. ;)
For your next flight, go to Tampa, Florida
I'm only 5 minutes in and it already looks so cool!
A scenic flight around Slovakia. Also you will have fun landing at Barra Airport in Scotland
Done the landing first time I'm the beachking in the last flight sim (just a custom flight from Glasgow). Was 💩ing myself.
How the fu… do you start the plane ????
The only thing that’s solved that silly red man was either backing to main menu or restarting game entirely so frustrating
Still can't get this working properly on Series X 😪
Same on the S
Nope me neither
The Developers are Prioritizing the PC Version IIRC.
Really? I’m on series s and apart from occasionally lag spikes it’s working ok for me I admit day one was horrendous but now it’s much better try reinstalling it
I grew up in Stamford……thanks for the tour!
This is perfect. Gameriot and MSFS24. Love it. Xxx

Some great advice
Do scenic flights please. Colorado canyon. Eiffel tower. Danube...
100% do more of these flight simulator and please do some flights around Australia like Sydney and Brisbane please
Good call, i'm a pommy b'stard but flying over Aus is partly why I want the game. Plus the bush planes. Yessir.
I hope this will do good to become a series. This is how I play most games ,struggling and trying my best 😂 love this video .I haven't laughed this hard in to long time 😂❤😂
Please turn this into a series! If you can get your hands on a stick it would make flying and landing a lot easier.
Was cool seeing Wickford on the map haha!
Given the bugs I think I might hold off on this one. You had a good go at it though
I love it great video
Fly over Norwich..never seen it from above😊..but i like your videos..so funny sounds your comments when joking😂..
Please do a mission out of the San Gabriel Valley Airport in El Monte, CA. I have eaten at the diner there and watch the small aircraft take off and land.
Finally someone starting in an airfield just up the road from me 😂
I’d suggest maybe doing the trainings associated with the PPL
I’m 35min into your vid. If you see that white bar in the green on “airspeed” that’s the range you want to be when landing
The first airport I went to I can’t certify because the map is glitching and has a huge cliff inbetween the hanger area and the damn runway and it keeps crashing the plane trying to get there!! So annoying. Got start over and pick somewhere else

More this was certainly very interesting and funny. Also glad i fly from Manchester/leeds😂
Do you use a XBox controller?
i really wanted to get into il2 but theres next to no introduction so i could never last with it. Having fun with this though.
What GPU you have? 4090???
I'd love for you to fly a big commercial flight from or into Finland (Turku if possible)
How you got the blue markers to know where to fly.. I’m going aimlessly trying to fly over the airport lmao.. I can see on gps but I’d like to have the guidance like you 😂
same here will be a nice help for noops like me😂
@ it was in setting and assistance, I can’t remember what exactly it was lol, but it was unchecked and most of the others were.. it will be a visual one, I’ll have a look again when I’m next on!
My god man! Focus!
Mission wants me to fly over the alps. Suggested cruise altitude is 100. Did they test anything?
I've noticed the EFB flight planner always uses a cruise altitude of 100ft. Obviously that's a non-starter. I noticed Navigraph just released an update that adds MSFS 2024 support via Simbrief.

Is there going to be a playlist for this game

I flew a plane for real as a birthday gift a red letter day it was great fun definitely recommend it
Not sure why but my missions just won’t show up on my map, ive uninstalled and everything and cannot do the first flight missions
Same
I chose somewhere random in Canada and literally only had 1 mission to pick
At least I can watch someone else play lol, great content
Can you not set a cruise speed like you were able to in the previous version?
I am so lost. Is it broken on the fire stick because I feel like nothing I click works. Please help!
I've given up on it for a few days or weeks. Tried again today finally got to careers mode and it bugged out fully. Game is not playable in it's current state.
Cant get it to load. Stuck on the character creation.
Edit: Restarted the game and its downloading packages and updates. What the hell is the point of pre-downloading when you need to download it all over again when it launches.
Funny that Asobo (Old Bozo) did not test anything including career mode.
is getting this game over 2020 worth it?
Great video sir can you tell me if the Home Cockpit Mode is enabled nobody can seem to answer this maybe you can Thank you so much.
"that was rough" :D
😂😂 I want to be your passenger LOL
love to see denham EGLD.
Also, your flaps are always on full hence why you can't control it
Is possible to remove the flight path in carrer mode?
Flaps to zero when in flight and use flaps to land
Just down the road from me thurrock
I just try 4 times cloud on Xbox s freeze everytime
For how long this was in development, they could have done way better with the voices.
Well the voices are not the main point about the game it is about the planes not a voice.
@LouiePawson I know but, the current voicing sounds so cheap.
@@Steve-yg5dq well they will not just use the budget on a voice.
@@Steve-yg5dq They sound AI
@rogete916 if you played flight sim X the voices were wayyyyy better.
Content of this game in this state is not a good idea!

Habe die Karriere neugestalten und jetzt schaffe ich die Prüfung nicht mehr. Obwohl ich alles richtig mache bekomme ich 0% bei flughöhe und co.
Still can’t get it past 90%, just crashes, tried for 3 days, I’ll give it until after the weekend, if nothing I guess it’s refund time.
I can't play all I get is a black screen when trying to fly
If you have nvidia,make sure vertical sync is set to on in nvidia control panel.Its in manage 3d settings tab,that's what worked for me.
Meanwhile.. day 4 still loading.
Why do you sound like Zoil?
Heathrow Airport
I want you to play more so you can learn how to actually fly a plane 😂
Comment for Aviation God!
I got B too
Flaps.
a lot of steam bad reviews though
Don't give up your day job your absolutely would never pass as a pilot
flight simulator, used perpetually in external view. What a shitty level has the gaming culture reached with youtubers.
Some B's the game sucks for Xbox don't even bother trying it
Overwhelmingly negative
now its back to negative despite the ongoing problems, I think there were some who were able to play but not all of us had that chance yet.
