Marc, I don't think I have ever commented on any of your videos, but did want to let you know how much I (and clearly others!) appreciate the thought, time and effort you put into this endeavour. You instructional videos are clear, concise and just detailed enough to ensure our understanding without dragging the topic on and on and on to the point where one's eyes glaze over. Whenever I need a refresher on how to do something when preparing for a flight - which happens more times than I care to admit, particularly when I jump into a new aircraft or one I haven't flown for a while - I know I can find the answer on Flight Sim School. Many thanks!
Thank you so much for saying that, it means a lot!
Thanks so much Marc. That was extremely useful and very well explained. I'll refer to it often.
Fantastic video. Thank you very much !
Excelllent presentation. Thanks
I love your videos. Thanks so much xxx🎉
Thanks Glenda!
Well done on this one Marc, lots of great info for beginners and refreshers for experienced folks as well!
Thanks for the kind words Jeff, much appreciated !
This is fabulous, as always Mark. I always learn from you! One question: when you jumped on the low-altitude airway, I noticed that it did not add the airway to your route, but only the DCT code. Is this a limitation in Navigraph, or am I mistaken in my understanding? Thanks again from just down the road in New Hampshire🤛🏻
Thanks Pete :) From what I saw, there is no way to add the airway name directly to the route (it is on their roadmap of features though). You can drag the flight path over the airway, and if you do it just right it will add the airway itself to the text route, but I find it easier to add the first waypoint of the airway I’ll be using and then the last one.
so much to learn from nav graf. Thanks
Hi friend.
I'm from Russia, I like your videos!
Special thanks for the Comanche 250
Thanks for the kind words!
Would you be able to do a video on entering large airspaces as a ga plane?
It's a topic I'm interested in learning and understanding better myself. I'll add it to my list. Thanks for the suggestion!
Cool!
You chose runway 26 because runway 14 did not have instrument procedures. Where can I see on the chart if a runway has instrument procedures or not?
I skipped over that, but what I did was I first picked runway 14 as my runway, and that’s then I saw there were no instrument procedures for it, so I backed out, and picked 26. I hope that clears things up.
I never understand why people use external apps for planning when everything is in FS2020.
One reason I use external flight planning apps is because MSFS2020 doesn't show terrain. Many of the GA planes and ultralights I fly in the sim are quite primitive and demand navigating through mountain ranges rather than simply going over them.
For me it's the charts that I find invaluable; you can get away without them if you're in a G1000 or similar glass cockpit, but for round gauge planes like the Comanche or even the TBM850, you can't do an IFR flight without them.
Thank you for the refresher. It’s always good to go back and revise. Been flying for quite a while now. One thing I’ve noticed tho is sometimes the metar in MSFS doesn’t match real world. For example the other day it gave me a runway that wasn’t not really being used.
