As a normal person just dipping my feet into simulation, your video is a must watch for the newbie pilot on pc!
Only in flight sim land could someone know how to fly airliners but have no idea about flying light aircraft, so here I am trying to fill in the gaps, and this video has been really useful!
Watching this as prep before I train in a real cessna 172. This is very helpful.
Cheers!
"We also want to be dropping out of the sky, not too quickly obviously".
LOL that line won my subscription.
Wow, training like this would normally cost a fortune. Thanks for donating your time and effort to helping people like me learn to fly ! This tuition floods my mind as I randomly hammer my keyboard, drifting towards my 70'th death of the evening.
Cheers :)
I know this already, but I always gain something from listening to someone else explain the basics. Can’t get enough of the basics.
As a beginner, I really appreciated the explanation that went with each step. Most other videos don’t explain why. Thank you - liked and subscribed.
Glad it was helpful!
Man this takes me back to when I first took flight training, it was my first aircraft. Then I moved on to the 172. I just downloaded this sim and am starting back up using the 152 for my re training period. Still trying to set up controls and get used to commands etc its been a while. Great video thank you sir, enjoying the ride
Excellent video. My son just bought a Flight Simulator and he is 10 years old. This is a very good start for him.
Nice video. I believe the stall warning opening is on the left wing about 4 feet out. The wing openings you pointed out are cabin air vents.
Stall warning is a little switch on the left wing as you stated
You are blessed with excellent ability to teach and explaining the subject clearly. This was very very helpful for me. Thank you very much.
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent teaching Sir....Easily captured aw you describe in a great manner. Thank you..need more Sir
Best guide i've seen yet. Thank you very much!
Exactly what I was look for! Thank you very much!
First tutorial I've found that I actually could understand. Thanks for sharing!
You're welcome :)
wow! this is so amazing, the explanations and everything. keep doing what your doing!
Thanks a lot for posting this video! It’s not easy to start in flightsim and your videos are super helpful - thanks for taking the time to make these, really appreciate it!
My pleasure!
You did an awesome job on explaining. Step-by-step how to fly the sesame 152. It brings me back to when I first started flying. Thank you for your time.
And explanation on how to fly the session 152. Keep up the good work DeWayne Gabel.
This is just the kind of video I was looking for, thanks mate!
Glad I could help!
I absolutely enjoyed this video! ☺️ I've been flying Microsoft flightsimulators since 1986. Mostly for pure joy and fun. I discovered/learned 4 things (little details) in this video that I guess I had heard at some point... but it just never really 'clicked' before. Thanks so much Jonathan. I really enjoy your work sir.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for putting this together. I picked up a lot things I didn't realise from this.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the guide. I've done some of the training stuff and wanted a plane to start with on my own.
Excellent…now I got it! Thank you!
This was incredibly informative and useful. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and making it all a very user-friendly experience. I am starting with MSFS and I find your videos very helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for this video Jonathan - really informative . Keep up the excellent work.
Thanks for watching!
Great explanation of the basics well done. Didn't know that about red/green color blindness. Subbed
Today I got my PPL. And I shit you not, this very video started it all.
That's awesome!
Hi Jonathan,I just subbed ,I'm a complete novice to flight sim,this vid has helped me to start learning circuits at my local airfield at Blackpool...I bought a turtle beach velocity one controller which I'm disappointed with tbh ,very sticky..anyway this vid is so informative and very clearly put across..thanks ,
Steve
Thanks Jonathan, A wonderful video. A sure way of inspiring a novice into FS. Well done!
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent, subscribed!
Really cool vid thanks. Never flown a simulator let alone actual aircraft. My local flight school uses 152's for training so I was interested in learning about dial layout and function. Cheers.
Extremely useful video
This was amazingly good, so much great info on what has become, basically my favourite plane just because it's one of the easiest for me to fly. Thank you very much.
Glad it was helpful!
Great content! Love your videos!
Cheers!
WOW hope to see more training videos for MSFS, Thankyou for explain it for a beginner to flying
More to come!
Thanks for the refresher. Learned a new thing or two.
Glad it was helpful!
Very helpful! Thank you!
You're welcome :)
Very well explained sir, thank you
Great tutorial for a beginner learning the instruments on msfs! Dreaming of real lessons soon when finances are better
You got it!
Hi Jonathan. New to flight simulators and currently completing the training. This video has been very helpful as the guide is pretty poor I find on the game, even for a basic plane like this. I really wish the tutorials were better and not have to keep coming to UA-cam for guidance. I’m about to subscribe and hopefully find a video about how to understand ATC instructions. I did one short normal flight in the Cessna and had no clue what the AI ATC was talking about, squarks and altitude settings etc. Very overwhelming. Anyway, thanks for the video and really loved your great explanations of the flying process and instrument detail. Keep up the good work.
Cheers! I think I have a video somewhere showing the in-game ATC.
well done thank you for this nice video!
Thank you too!
Thanks, this video is really informative and I learnt quite a few new things. :)
Glad to hear it!
1:40, those two holes are cabin vents, the stall horn is sitting next to the right (about 1') of the PITOT tube when standing in front of the aircraft.
Yep - I realised afterwards that it's just not modelled :) (and I pointed out the wrong thing) lol
@@jonbeckett yeah it happens! We can see the stall horn here in your video, there is 4 tiny bolts making a square around its opening, approximately in line with the wing strut fairing. I started my PPL on a 152 and switched over the 172 (such a big improvement in everyway) but now I'm going through multiple flight sims videos since winter is coming in and so flight conditions are forbidding me to take to the sky, I might get a flight sim basic setup so I can keep my knowledge up to date during the winter season. Too bad that MS 2020 only (seems) to offer a 172 with a glass cockpit...
Excellent video, you showed and explained about the instruments, but there were a few other points you could have touched on, like where do you set the flaps, counting out the flaps, other than that, awesome video. I'm a beginner, and because of your explaintion of the instruments, it makes me want to start flying now but, I still have to look at more videos to give me the confidences to start to fly. I subscribed to your channel, and I looking foward to seeing more of your video. Thank you.
Noted!
V interesting I cant see the dials though, thanks for the 'flight' Commander. I am reading the book by Geoffrey Wellum and also read the Yeager book by Chuck Yeager. who broke the sound barrier, great video and experiencing your vast knowledge ! I am female and 73, don't drive so this is so thrilling and exciting. WOW
Great comment - thankyou :)
Excellent explanation of everything..great video.
Glad it helped!
I recently switch from the 172 to the 152 and wow I have to say the msfs version flies exactly like it.
Good, isn't it :)
While lowering the flaps during the approach, the nose should pitch up noticeably unless counteracted by ample forward yoke pressure. I didn’t see that happening here.
So close on most of the information, have you gone up in a 152, if not what is holding you back? You could take a simple discovery flight with a local flight school just to see what she actually feels like. Your knowledge is ahead of the normal first time pilot but you will have some polishing to do on a few items. No worries though, you'll have checklists to ensure you don't miss anything. From a SIM background I'm impressed with what you know and share with others who are flight curious. I regularly fly the 152 on the SIM and in real life. MSFS does a great job of replicating how it feels but there is definitely some tuning to do depending on your sim gear. Kudos on your effort here!
Cheers :) I'm just a simmer - sharing what I have learned along the way :)
G'day Johnathan , as for beginners I think yours is one of the best , I've learnt so much just from watching only one so far . But can I ask ? How did you get those flaps to work ?
This guy is GOOD
love the vid!
Thankyou!
Helpful. Thanks.
You're welcome!
Brilliant thank you so much
Glad it helped
Really helpful for a newbie.
Glad to hear that!
VERY GOOD VIDEOS !
Thank you very much!
I'm honestly surprised that Cessna stopped making the C152. Apparently the C152 was and still is extremely popular with flight schools and I'm guessing that they were cheaper than the C172.
I didn't know they HAD stopped making it.
Thanks for making this video. It was great help on top of my real flight lesson. I was struggling with taxiing the 152 and couldn't understand why it was going all over the place. Would you be able to do a video on how to use thr rudders and to taxi the airplane? Thank you
I'll see what I can do :)
I have just bought this game on xbox series x. Got so lost with it and this starter plane thank you for this video. Well made and the relaxed explanations have really made me want to learn more thank you. What controller do you advise? flying with a pad there are too many controllers. Please do more beginner videos. I don't understand taxing properly or how to talk to atc. Wish there a career in game something to achieve, like euro truck simulator, delivery cargo. or missions. Subbed and thumbs up.
Cheers!
not a magnetic compass.. it is a gyroscopic heading indicator. Magnetic compass is a backup and usually placed somewhere else. Magnetic compasses does not handle banking turns well, hence the use of a gyroscopic driven heading indicator. They drift over time, and you have to align it with the magnetic compass at startup. The magnetic compass is at the center of the windscreen.
Yep - I miss-spoke. It's surprisingly easy to say the wrong words when you're talking away about something :)
Nice tutorial
Thankyou!
Where is the stall? The airspeed on short final indicated less than 40 mph.
I'm having trouble with the climb & turn attitude test I have all A's & B's before this last one! they tell you what to do but not how & or why you put the plane in danger. I'm using the Thundermaster 16000m fcs Hotas joystick & throttle set quadrant and it has a throttle button fitted onto the unit as well as 16 action buttons seems ok not using the separate throttle and saves room on the desk! I also have the Logitech yoke & throttle but I think the joystick is a little easier and also give me more room have you got a vid that includes these monoverse? or have I missed it? I've watched this video to the end twice so I might have a better idea by not using the rudder I should pay more attention cheers for all your posts the more you watch the more you pick up and see something different each time.
Anyone tipps for the sensitivity? Especially the pitch is way too sensitiv and twitchy. Even on -50.
I'm confused, why do the runway entrance markings indicate 15L and 33R if it's runway25?
👌👌👌
Cheers
Thank you
You're welcome
great stuff -thanks for your time - question : how did you map the mixture ? I did to the axis 5 (thrutmaster hotas 1 ) : it is not gradually mastered - it is all or nothing .any advise?
I have it on the throttle quadrant (I have the airbus quadrant- L axis R ?)
Great explanation, I have yet to purchase Flight Sim I want to buy the Amazon download for the pc, bit nervous in case there is a problem though.
The best way to buy flightsim is direct from Microsoft. Run the XBox App on your PC (which will use your Microsoft account), and then buy it within that app. Then whatever computer you have in the future, you can re-download / re-install whenever you want.
Are you using a Hotas controller? I think I saw one in one of your older videos? Which one do you recommend? I'm looking for something under $200.00 usd that is good for starting out but the ones in that price range have mixed reviews on Amazon.
The Thrustmaster T Flight Hotas controls are good.
@@jonbeckett Thank you!
Very new too this, but turned everything on and it's showing no fuel ?
Hi, do you fly with a sidestick? And if so, what are your sensitivity settings in sim? My joystick is really sensitive when flying cessna and I would really like to know is it normal or, if not, mayby try to change sensitivity, so it would fly better.
My joystick sensitivity is slightly flattened in the centre, but not too much.
You gained a subscriber. Appreciate the attention to detail in the explanations. Do recommend investing in a SIM for beginners? How did we live/survive without UA-cam? Thanks a lot for posting.
MSFS is a great simulator - and with recent weather and realism updates, has become perhaps the most accurate (according to real GA pilots). The basic skills you learn operating an aircraft in a "real" situation will stand you in good stead for any other simulator or real aircraft. Muscle memory all the way.
can be sett parking breake before landing or not just use rudder padel for slow down and stop ? thanks
Yes you can! (or at least I think you can)
Its also a good thing to put beacon light ON before engine start
Nice video 🙂👍
15:38 pull into the wrong way... so what's the right way? :')) XD sorry I got used to American English 😅... I used flight simulator 11 I can't recall, but yeah you explain more things that the same simulator :))... btw what is the minimum speed to take off?
Most people say 60 knots, but it depends on the wind :)
I'm supposed to get my copy of MSFS 2020 today. Can't wait to (faux) fly again!
where can i get that map you are using it looks like its live imformation like a gps is that free to download becuase im trying to learn the navigation without taxi ribbons turned on lo . and that would really help me. thanks for the video very helpful hope to hear back from you.
LittleNavMap.
Hi, in several manuals is stated that cruise speed would be 100 knots at 2300 rpm, maybe 2400.
There is no way I could ever achieved that configuration. At full throttle, close to it.
Is that a flaw of MSFS's, or is there other variable I'm no taking into account?
I have no idea. I've spoken to several real-world 152 pilots that did their training in them, and they say it's remarkably accurate.
@@jonbeckett Thank you.
I did my PPL in the 152 and at a cruise setting of 2300rpm it would sit around 90 KIAS. I’m yet to have a go in the sim but looking over these videos it seems pretty accurate 👍🏻
Beacons must be ON before engine start.
14:57 That's not the holding point of RW25...
at around 2:15 you are pointing to the air intake and calling it the stall warning ??? Small but very important mistake
Yep - I pointed out the wrong hole :)
What is your hardware and system configuration?
I7, 3080RTX, 16GB RAM, 400mbit internet
What program was that to see the airport?
LittleNavMap
God job but u miss something at the start when u went to start the engine u ALWAYS MUST HAVE THE BEACON LIGHT ON AND YELL CLEAR so people know u about to start the engine
Oh, I miss something every flight :) It would be a bit odd though, if I shouted "clear" out of the doorway of the spare room :)
Lol when I do my flight I just say it like if idc LOL if would be funny
Byw what airport did u fly at on msfs
It's Santa Barbara
@@jonbeckett ok thx
Didn't hear a "Clear Prop!"
This creator closes by saying, "so that's pretty much it..." except... it isn't. THere isn't a single moment here that shows the new MSFS user how to configure the settings (of which there are over 100 to consider, depending on which controls - yoke, pedals, etc. - you are using. This information is implied, and necessary, but completely left out.
Yes. Let's also include Windows device managed too then. And CPU choice. And RAM. And GPU... I was talking about the aircraft within the simulator.
