Don’t know why other people are saying you’re speaking too fast, this is the first tutorial I’ve watched that doesn’t seem to assume I’m mentally impaired
Also my recommendation for anybody who’s learning the stuff for the first time, I highly recommend them before watching this that you go into your plane and just start reading the names on things and pushing buttons and seeing what happens. So when you go in and watch this video you will already have a puzzle pieces in your head and now you just have to put them together. That’s what helped me the best, good luck
AMAZING! Please do more of these. The blend of doing things properly but also keeping things simple is so needed in this community in regards of tutorials.
I feel like I understand almost everything you explained but I know when I get in the air I'm going to be confused and have to watch this again. Playing with all these controls gets me all giddy. I'm new to this.
I subscribed to you simply because of your quote "you're supposed to yell at the screen louder so I can hear you" Oh and your content is very in depth. Thank you sir.
Thank you so much for this!! Your tutorial is clear, concise, and well-paced, and I wish all tutorial videos were as good as this one! I didn't know where to start learning all those buttons before, but now the GPS makes a lot more sense to me. Thanks again!
A very helpful video but I'm still having huge problems using the G1000 . A lot of the time I can't get it to accept any changes/adjustments in FPL- I think it's buggy.
Sir, two things. First you are heaven sent! Thank you for this amazing content. Second, could you do an in depth tutorial on the different navigation methods? I have a very hard time understanding and when to use them. I'm talking about LOC, VNAV, VOR (why are there 2 also), ADF, and so on. Thanks again for the content. It's so helpful
Well first, adf is a fairly old technology and is slowly being phased out. So I wouldn’t pay much attention to learning how to use it. Secondly, VNAV and LOC are not used to navigate. Now, localizers can be used to confirm your position on an ifr/victor route but they are not used for navigation over long distances. Finally, this channel does have a video on an entire VOR based ifr flight. If you haven’t watched it I suggest you do. But to summarize, VORs are radio based navigation aids that tell you your position based off of a direction on the compass. In order to navigate from VORs you need to set your NAV radio to the VOR radio frequency. I can go into more depth if you would like but I hope that answers your question!
oh finaly a very good tutorial on autopilot. I dont understand why Aviaton RUclips isnt cashing in on new pilots. So many new gamers with 0 experience and soooo much questions. Good work mate
Thanks for this! This video explained a lot of the things I found confusing about using the G1000 in FS2020. I've especially been struggling with figuring out how to tell it to go directly to a waypoint - lots of times when I start an approach it does the same silliness as happened in this video, so it's awesome to learn how to get around it.
Great video! I'd like to watch 2 or 3 more of these with details on other features, particularly the other autopilot features. I haven't used my PPL in 20 years - it's a strange new world! Thanks!
Suggestion: It would be a lot easier to ffollow what you’re doing if you didn’t wave the mouse pointer round and around in circles all the time. Yes I know it helps people find it in a video clip but when you’re saying “click just here” and the pointer is moving all over the screen at warp speed it’s hard to learn what to do
Just saving your video for watching it again and again for understanding all you say because I'm French but I can already say thank you very much for this video! It will be very helpful! Autopilot seems to be more complicated than in fsx... And sometimes, it does crazy thing with airliners
Thanks, I followed the first half fine... But after that you jumped about too much and started talking like you were talking to pilots who've used similar software. You also selected things so fast we couldn't see the mouse. And did things without explaining 'why' you would even bother to do that.
FS2020 is a performance dud. Most all youtube previews on ground while taxiing or takeoff have stutters/jutters, even with only one monitor. Notice that most fanboy reviews are from the air at 2-5k AGL? Usually over water or forested, not over urban cities? There is a reason for this. Poor performance even on upper end machines like mine. i9 2080ti Corsair One i160.
@@DownTheRabbit-Hole shame to hear that’s your experience. Completely opposite to mine. Could it be better? having flown MSFS in various iterations since 1984, possibly, but as a simulation of flight it’s pretty darn good. Best I’ve ever seen since then.
I've seen many tutorials on the Avionics on RUclips and on Reddit. Almost nobody is talking about the importance of the TO/GA button. It positions the flight director at the proper pitch (usually 7-10°) for a takeoff, or if you have to go around after a missed approach. It is usually a button located on the side, or underneath (like in the SR22) the Throttle and it is a very important feature for take-off. Usually available on aircraft larger than the Cessna 172 (and separate Garmin GMC Autopilot unit), or the larger jets with the Pro Line 21 and even commercial airliners. Hope this helps!
"Up here at the tippy top" earned my subscription and a like. Your videos are hugely useful and massively entertaining! I'm sure you've heard it before, but If Ned Flanders was a flight instructor . . .
Thank you! Just started messing around with the DA62 last night. The G1000 is a very different animal than the G5000 in the Longitude that I've been using to practice!
Is there a way to see the percentage of trim applied from inside the cockpit other than looking at the trim wheel? Does it show up anywhere on the G1000? It's super convenient with the outside view because you know how much trim you have applied, but that kind of breaks realism, I'd like to know what it is from inside.
A couple of things: According to DA62’s POH, AP only works above 90 kt. But when setting FLC to climb at 90 kt, the plane will not slow down to 90, only 110ish at lower altitudes. When it gets higher it will slow down to 90+ but never 90. So u can’t never get the best climb rate with AP. AP will not exceed 1200ish ft/even with VS set to +5000. Also I can not find the controls for turning on and off the Aux fuel pump in the setting. Nothing in fuel category will turn it on or off. Can u find it? Thanks. This is a really good tutorial. EDIT: you can edit System.cfg file to make Auto pilot work with lower speed when doing FLC. Change pitch limit to over 30 or something big. Default is 10
RubioGator yes in cockpit yes. I mean in settings where u can bind them to keys on keyboard or hotas. I can not find a single control in setting that could turn them on/off.
Subbed, love the video, some funny moments, i wasn't shouting at the screen loud enough i know. I feel like there's a lot to learn and you went in to great detail. I won't be ready for my first autopilot flight after watching this once, its going to take several goes, this is confusing as hell but thanks for the content!
To short-circuit to JORDN, just highlight it with the FMS knobs and hit the MENU button. A menu will pop up and the first option is to activate that leg of the flight plan. No fiddly direct mode shenanigans required. It will even continue the approach from there, whereas, after direct mode gets you to the waypoint, you might be left holding the last heading.
Cannon Gaming in some aircraft, even if you are in APPR mode, it won’t descend on the glide slope until it has localizer movement. I would try different headings to intercept the loc I hope this helps. Otherwise I hope it’ll be fixed in an update with a bunch of other things
Good video and nice explanation. It's interesting to see how well MSFS applied their autopilot. Of course they had to cut some corners compared to reality since you can see how it oscillates to get to a stabilizing point. That has to do by their 'rawer' algorithm (first order Euler derivative) compared to a higher order one because of the computing power that it takes.
I love the Wind button on PFD. Unfortunately its not yet implemented in the game. It always shows 224-225 degrees at 3KT. So its not correct if you using live weather. Which is a shame, as its a great feature.
So this was a good video. But 2 faults I think. Please take this as constructive criticism and not me being an A-hole. 1. you talk really really fast here. You lost me quite a bit because of how fast you are clicking through and talking. You were too quick shooting through all the different options and modes. 2. You went too deep too fast. I really wanted to understand how to use approach mode. I muddled my way through getting a course set, activating it, and getting autopilot to take over for the majority of the flight. But I don't understand approach mode. And while I get that you said that was a different tutorial, you threw a ton of info at me when I have no experience aside from clicking the stuff in flight and seeing what it does. I wonder if you would be willing to go through more of a beginner tutorial. I guess really more of this is what this does, but this is why you would use it and when you would use it. I'd really like to get better at controlling the plane from the instruments. Thanks for taking the time to make this. It was at least helpful on some level. Especially the altitude hold and baro calibrate, and speed control there. That was good info.
I was excited to find this video, as I have been looking for a guide exactly like this since FS2020 came out. But I am only 6:30 in and I am already very confused. Why do I want to set a nav frequency or a com frequency? Why does my compass show a purple arrow when yours shows a green arrow? What is that moving part in the middle of the green arrow on your compass that changed when you set the nav frequency? What the heck does the barometric pressure have to do with an autopilot system and why would I want to adjust that? The longer I watch the more questions I have. This video is making my flight sim newbie ass even more confused. :(
So comm frequencies are the frequencies used to talk to other planes and ATC. If you are playing regular FS, you can just the built in ATC system to autotune these. NAV frequencies are those used by VOR stations, a special kind of navigation method. Mine shows a purple arrow since I am using the GPS to tell the autopilot where to go, you can see this on the display as either green VOR1 VOR2 or Purple GPS. The barometric pressure is a reference pressure so that your alitmeter will show you being at the correct altitude above seat level. If the autopilot does not have the right altimeter setting, it won't be at the correct true altitude. Don't worry about being new, we all are :) Any other questions just ask.
Oh man I'm gonna have so many more questions when I have time watch the rest of this video. Thank you for your offer to answer them, I will be sure to post them! 😄And thanks for those answers so far. I still don't get the green/purple arrow over the compass. You said specifically to set a destination on the world map before loading into the plane. I did that, and that made the compass arrow purple like I expected. Then a little later, your arrow was green, and the middle segment of it was disconnected from the head and tail of the arrow. When you changed the nav frequency, the middle segment of that arrow moved! Why was your arrow green and what does that moving segment signify?
Great video, thank you. I am a casual simmer and swapped from FSX to MSFS2020 but find the autopilot different. Also, never flew FSX in virtual cockpit, always in 2d so easy to click buttons, one thing I fin annoying with MSFS2020.
Ah... That little Direct To trick to short cut the approach would have been handy to know earlier. I radio'd a tower and they assigned me a different runway than what I had set in the flight plan, so had to change my approach last minute. Of course the auto pilot wanted to swing the plane back around to the previous nav point and re-attempt approach.
Ridiculously usefull series of videos. Ridiculously fast presentation. Assumes a certain level of competence with sims in general and avionics in particular.
When I setup AP after takeoff, I ensure I program the approach to the right direction and runway, and then use NAV to follow the flight plan. However as I get closer to the airport using the waypoints its flying, it doesnt seem to be lined up / programed to the runway the ATC is telling / suggestion to me. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?
If you click the NRST button (on the bottom right of the left screen or PFD) it should show you the height along with runway length and traffic frequency.
You just made my G1000 flying so so much better. Would you ever be willing to make a video about doing approaches ? I’m still confused on when I select an approach or am I supposed to at a certain point select the first way point of the approach at a certain time. I would love to see you make a video on that.
Narration is a bit erratic, beginning to explain one function then switching to another function before completing the thought on the first. Then going back to conclude the initial explanation. Needs to be more focused, succinct and on topic to completion.
I said as much in a comment to his C172 G1000 tutorial. To be more focused / structured and not jump around so much. I think he's forgotten what it's like to be a complete noob at this. I do like his manner of speaking - except for maybe the "tippy top,'' expression. Are there kids watching this?
You remind me of Matt Wagner and his tutorials for DCS. Very helpful video! Any chance you've learned enough about the King Air 350i avionics to make a video on that?
This was really useful, thanks, especially the parts about how this simulated version doesn't work quite the same as some others. In XPlane and some real ones I've seen, the topo mode is more colourful and shows red for land that is higher than you, but we don't seem to have that here, unless I am missing some option.
Hi, I've just gotten into flight simming and I had no idea what's going on. This is the first video I've watched of yours and was super informative! Could I request that you do a video explaining what the nav frequencies are and what vor and all those other terms that a layman probably won't know is? I'm sure that it would make flight simulator much more fun to get in to for newcomers
Honestly man the best thing you can do is get like a private pilot text book or pdf. Something like From The Ground Up will cover all those concepts that are replicated in the sim and it's what you actually use learning the concepts for real flying.
Another great video from 3 weeks ago. Great work. On another issue do you know if there is a way to toggle the parking location indicators (blue arrows). I can turn them on and off in the options but can’t find a toggle that I can assign to a button.
Could you do a video on the beachcraft king air? It looks like the altimeter adjustment is inop when looking down to the middle. I assume this would be my barometer adjustment.
Great introduction into the G1000! I think in the approach you did a mistake by not removing the old destination which is why it selected such a strange triangle route to JORDN instead of direct GPS there. Anyhow, great explaination! Being familiar with an Airbus A320 having the G1000 in front of you makes you rethink your abilities :D Especially the autopilot is somewhat weird to set up I think. Would be great if the game would save your preferences to avoid setting it up every time to your favorite combination and display.
Great video.. tok me forever to find someone explaining this unit. I dont quite understand what you're doing when your setting your minimums for Vy and what Vy is? Can you elaborate o this a little more? If I could add some constructive criticism.. as this is my first proper flight sim a lot of the concepts you just gloss over and assume there is some understanding there.. if you could elaborate a little more on each point and why you are doing what you are doing, instead of just how.. it would really help newbies like me :)
i wish you spoke about ils more, its the one thing i dont understand. when i click the approach button what happens? is the freq preprogrammed by the fpl or do i have to do it, pls help
Once you click approach you'll have options for ILS or whatever approach you want. Then scroll down to LOAD and press enter and it will add it to your flight plan. If you want to land now, choose ACTIVATE.
Ive spent more than a few hours trying to work some of this out for myself, thanks heaps. I am still a little stuck as some of the buttons shown here dont seem to be on the C208, perhaps they are represented in a different way?
Is there something i have missed somewhere along the way? I am viewing this guys tutorial videos one after the other. started from very basics, and now this one is the FIRST that mentions autopilot. So the first thing he does is saying he made a flight plan outside of this video that we will have a hard time following the video and following the way points if we didnt put the flight plan in as well. How? No flight plan yet at this point in your tutorial series?
What he means is create your flight in FS2020, i.e. go to the world map and select your arrival and departure airports before you jump in the plane. There are no waypoints in the plan he created, just straight airport to airport.
You can create your initial flight plan when you select which airport you depart from and which airport you arrive at from the menu in flight simulator before it even sends you into the aircraft. I hope you understand. I do not have the game in front of me.
How disappointing is that? Winds aloft are always 3 knots too. Nothing close to realistic. I checked the actual winds aloft vs the game winds aloft once and the direction was wrong and velocity off by 100+ knots. The previous two flight sims had winds aloft and accurate surface winds. Not sure how they screwed that one up so bad.
Remarkably clear tutorial on the G1000. You just earned a new subscriber. Here's a question I haven't seen an answer to... can I undock the screen for either the PFD or the MFD and move it over to my second monitor? I'm accustomed to doing that in FSX. It saves the squirrelly scrolling the panel back and forth, up and down.... All that makes my eyes cross. Thanks again for a great video.
This guy is a saint and we must protect him at all costs , ty for the info I’ve been searching for !
💂♂️💂♂️💂♂️ Reporting for duty
True
I've been reading and watching and studying Garmin manuals and couldn't figure out what this saint explains perfectly in 20 seconds
Tzafrir Rehan right lol
Wish I’d seen this video before I flew this plane today, what a great tutorial!!
Don’t know why other people are saying you’re speaking too fast, this is the first tutorial I’ve watched that doesn’t seem to assume I’m mentally impaired
You have made getting into MSFS so approachable with these first-class video tutorials. Love your vocal cadence and delivery. Fantastic work!

Great video, really helpful and informative. I'd love to see an ILS tutorial with the G1000. Keep it up!
I really wish this guy could be my math teacher for this year. He would literally be the best.

Awesome, after the tutorials with steam gauges panel now you explain glass cockpit, you rock man !
very interesting, but I only understand half of the stuff. Very complicated for a newbie :)
Keep up the great work! thank you!

Great video however can you slow down a bit and the rapid movement of the views and mouse make me dizzy.
YOu can slow down rate of speed of youtube playback
Sometimes the approach mode doesn't descend by itself and I have to redo the whole approach myself. Why is that?
Cannon Gaming in some aircraft, even if you are in APPR mode, it won’t descend on the glide slope until it has localizer movement. I would try different headings to intercept the loc I hope this helps. Otherwise I hope it’ll be fixed in an update with a bunch of other things

Oh man I'm gonna have so many more questions when I have time watch the rest of this video. Thank you for your offer to answer them, I will be sure to post them! 😄And thanks for those answers so far. I still don't get the green/purple arrow over the compass. You said specifically to set a destination on the world map before loading into the plane. I did that, and that made the compass arrow purple like I expected. Then a little later, your arrow was green, and the middle segment of it was disconnected from the head and tail of the arrow. When you changed the nav frequency, the middle segment of that arrow moved! Why was your arrow green and what does that moving segment signify?
Brilliant video and I am only 3 minutes in. Already learn’t so much. Thank you.
Best MFS 2020 tutorial channel ! Thanks a lot for your helpful work.
Dude how many Monster drinks did you knock down before making this? lolz
slowdown
Great video, thank you. I am a casual simmer and swapped from FSX to MSFS2020 but find the autopilot different. Also, never flew FSX in virtual cockpit, always in 2d so easy to click buttons, one thing I fin annoying with MSFS2020.
Great video need so many more of these tutorials.. well done thanks
Thank-You! I have been searching for this all over!
You sound just fun to be around!
Ah... That little Direct To trick to short cut the approach would have been handy to know earlier. I radio'd a tower and they assigned me a different runway than what I had set in the flight plan, so had to change my approach last minute. Of course the auto pilot wanted to swing the plane back around to the previous nav point and re-attempt approach.
Ridiculously usefull series of videos. Ridiculously fast presentation. Assumes a certain level of competence with sims in general and avionics in particular.
I enjoy your humor and thanks for the lesson
try turning these knobs in flight with a bit of turbulance and a head tracker on!
Indeed ,,thats whyXP11 is far superior as one can pop these things out too another static monitor whilst in flight
@@g4kfjve7kfj34 you can pop out all the instruments in MSFS 2020 as well, and have them on separate monitors.
@@xDarkStylo Please direct us too the instructions many thanks ??
@@g4kfjve7kfj34 Hold left ALT and left click on the instrument, and it will pop out to a separate window
@@xDarkStylo THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS INFO as eyes not too good this will help , I will pass on this very useful tip
When I setup AP after takeoff, I ensure I program the approach to the right direction and runway, and then use NAV to follow the flight plan. However as I get closer to the airport using the waypoints its flying, it doesnt seem to be lined up / programed to the runway the ATC is telling / suggestion to me. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?
There are bugs still being fixed :(
Unless I missed it, where does the g1000 display airport height information?
Next to the airport name. It looks like all the airports around him were at 0FT.
If you click the NRST button (on the bottom right of the left screen or PFD) it should show you the height along with runway length and traffic frequency.
for some reason, when i put the auto pilot back on it pitches up 100%
You just made my G1000 flying so so much better. Would you ever be willing to make a video about doing approaches ? I’m still confused on when I select an approach or am I supposed to at a certain point select the first way point of the approach at a certain time. I would love to see you make a video on that.
Narration is a bit erratic, beginning to explain one function then switching to another function before completing the thought on the first. Then going back to conclude the initial explanation. Needs to be more focused, succinct and on topic to completion.
I said as much in a comment to his C172 G1000 tutorial. To be more focused / structured and not jump around so much. I think he's forgotten what it's like to be a complete noob at this. I do like his manner of speaking - except for maybe the "tippy top,'' expression. Are there kids watching this?
You remind me of Matt Wagner and his tutorials for DCS. Very helpful video! Any chance you've learned enough about the King Air 350i avionics to make a video on that?
Excellent video. You talk fast, but very clear for me so i can understand all you are saying...great job with video! Regards from Spain!
Yeah, I noticed the lack of selecting a fp waypoint and going direct to. I needed this, yeah, I agree , its wonky. Lol
My autopilot setting is set to LVL and not GPS how do I change this?
I've been looking for this video for days!!! Thanks!!
Great video thanks for sharing. Perhaps it would be good if you can explain it by topic, a bit complicated to catch up in one go, for amateur.
in the G1000 the autopilot is very bad and there is no switching pressure IN to Hpa.
G1000 and GNS430/530 feel like toys to me. Not even close to X-Plane 11.5, 430/530, G1000, or real world. I am RW pilot and instructor.
Really useful thank you, couldnt figure out why I wasn't following flight plan. Was the cdi / gps thing. :D
This was really useful, thanks, especially the parts about how this simulated version doesn't work quite the same as some others. In XPlane and some real ones I've seen, the topo mode is more colourful and shows red for land that is higher than you, but we don't seem to have that here, unless I am missing some option.
Thanks for all your demonstrations! Very helpful indeed and the commentary from time to time... classic! ;')
Hi, I've just gotten into flight simming and I had no idea what's going on. This is the first video I've watched of yours and was super informative!
Could I request that you do a video explaining what the nav frequencies are and what vor and all those other terms that a layman probably won't know is? I'm sure that it would make flight simulator much more fun to get in to for newcomers
Honestly man the best thing you can do is get like a private pilot text book or pdf. Something like From The Ground Up will cover all those concepts that are replicated in the sim and it's what you actually use learning the concepts for real flying.
@@SMSinger91 I'll definitely go check it out. Thanks for the recommendation 👍
Another great video from 3 weeks ago. Great work. On another issue do you know if there is a way to toggle the parking location indicators (blue arrows). I can turn them on and off in the options but can’t find a toggle that I can assign to a button.
Cool video, very helpful! But can you also make one about the Autopilot in the Daher TBM? I cant get it to work if I start from cold and dark...
At 23:32 Direct->To window. How can I select the ALT and OFFSET values to create a VNAV?
Could you do a video on the beachcraft king air? It looks like the altimeter adjustment is inop when looking down to the middle. I assume this would be my barometer adjustment.
What is VOR, AMD, DME, RNAV ???? We know how to setup them but what are they for?! :D
I know this is going to be difficult for ya but You Tube is not a tech support forum!
@@cayenne7792 Ekhm. This is tutorial video. Keep that salt for your mother.
@@wotan91 Up yours too. A simple google search will tell you what you need to know.
Man this is a cake walk compared to when I was learning the FA18 Hornet in DCS lolll, thanks for video brother!!! Very helpful 👍
I played DCS when it was all free back in May. What a learning curve! Fun Sim but loads of work (DCS).
@@thecorporatepilotdad Very true!
Great introduction into the G1000! I think in the approach you did a mistake by not removing the old destination which is why it selected such a strange triangle route to JORDN instead of direct GPS there.
Anyhow, great explaination! Being familiar with an Airbus A320 having the G1000 in front of you makes you rethink your abilities :D Especially the autopilot is somewhat weird to set up I think.
Would be great if the game would save your preferences to avoid setting it up every time to your favorite combination and display.
Great job here, your vids are very helpful and detailed. THNX
Thank you so much for explaining in a way that I can understand!!! You have helped in so many ways!!! New subscriber!!!!
Great video.. tok me forever to find someone explaining this unit. I dont quite understand what you're doing when your setting your minimums for Vy and what Vy is? Can you elaborate o this a little more? If I could add some constructive criticism.. as this is my first proper flight sim a lot of the concepts you just gloss over and assume there is some understanding there.. if you could elaborate a little more on each point and why you are doing what you are doing, instead of just how.. it would really help newbies like me :)
And what does the minimum option on 15:14?
i wish you spoke about ils more, its the one thing i dont understand. when i click the approach button what happens? is the freq preprogrammed by the fpl or do i have to do it, pls help
Once you click approach you'll have options for ILS or whatever approach you want. Then scroll down to LOAD and press enter and it will add it to your flight plan. If you want to land now, choose ACTIVATE.
Ive spent more than a few hours trying to work some of this out for myself, thanks heaps. I am still a little stuck as some of the buttons shown here dont seem to be on the C208, perhaps they are represented in a different way?
Is there something i have missed somewhere along the way? I am viewing this guys tutorial videos one after the other. started from very basics, and now this one is the FIRST that mentions autopilot. So the first thing he does is saying he made a flight plan outside of this video that we will have a hard time following the video and following the way points if we didnt put the flight plan in as well. How? No flight plan yet at this point in your tutorial series?
What he means is create your flight in FS2020, i.e. go to the world map and select your arrival and departure airports before you jump in the plane. There are no waypoints in the plan he created, just straight airport to airport.
You can create your initial flight plan when you select which airport you depart from and which airport you arrive at from the menu in flight simulator before it even sends you into the aircraft. I hope you understand. I do not have the game in front of me.
Yes, the wind selection, there to remind you how broken the live weather is when all you ever get for wind in NA is 3 knots at 225 😂
How disappointing is that? Winds aloft are always 3 knots too. Nothing close to realistic. I checked the actual winds aloft vs the game winds aloft once and the direction was wrong and velocity off by 100+ knots. The previous two flight sims had winds aloft and accurate surface winds. Not sure how they screwed that one up so bad.
Remarkably clear tutorial on the G1000. You just earned a new subscriber. Here's a question I haven't seen an answer to... can I undock the screen for either the PFD or the MFD and move it over to my second monitor? I'm accustomed to doing that in FSX. It saves the squirrelly scrolling the panel back and forth, up and down.... All that makes my eyes cross. Thanks again for a great video.
Hold right alt key on the keyboard and click the display you want to pop out :)
