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
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.
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.
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.
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!
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!
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.
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!
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!
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
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!
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.
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
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!
"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 . . .
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Thanks a bunch for this! I've been flying the DA62 and got some of those things through trial and error (and horrible code browns), but really learned some extra things in here. Could you please do an ILS one next?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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!!

awesome tutorial man! I would definitely love an ILS video as well.
Yes please!
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.
Please please do a full g1000 ils approach and landing. This however has been phenomenaly helpful. Thank you
Who knew??? Knowing this stuff and actually using it in flight is way more intersting and makes for a great flight. My memory is short tho...sigh

I really wish this guy could be my math teacher for this year. He would literally be the best.
Thank you so much. Back to sim after years. You are a great person.
Great video P Gatcomb. Gonna be watching it again (and again) Thank you from across the Sound!
This guy is pure lols but equally great to watch/listen to 🤣.. great tutorial thank you 👍
Please do more videos on ILS landsing and Navigation etc. I'm a noob!
Thank you for explaining how to set up the autopilot. I've been fighting it.
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.
