Such an amazing airplane. Took me over a week of learning to feel comfortabke using it on vatsim. Now it's basically the only plane I fly. Still learning so thanks for the tutorials!
I'm also a latecomer to the CRJ but l found your series of 3 videos extremely helpful and learnt so many aspects of the airplane as l found it very difficult to fly at first after being looked after by the Airbus A320 and B737! So much more hands on and more rewarding once you have mastered it. Thanks again.
Late to the party with the CRJ, but watching your 3 videos have enabled me for 3 good flights under the UKV banner! - So hands on with the throttle, nice to have to do 'something' instead of letting an wire send you to sleep! - Great vids!
Great to hear - it's a fantastic aircraft add-on and I found it very rewarding to learn too with little adjustments of throttle throughout etc. It's still my favourite addon to this date!
Thanks for the tutorial. Got my hands on this little beauty. -23fpm landing in Genoa. Best fpm in a commercial on my first try. I think we are going to have lots of fun together.
Hi David! Keep chipping away at it and suddenly it'll click soon, and then you'll be absolutely loving the CRJ! 🙂 Hope you find the tutorial series useful
Don't feel bad. This isn't much like an Airbus or a Boeing. I've been using flight sims 40 years and I can't get this damn thing at all. I've tried multiple times over the years but get so mad, I bail for a long time before trying it again. Then I am reminded of why I hate it.
One of the best tutorial videos I have ever watched. Thank you for this content. You commanded that airplane. Im glad I purchased it...seems to be a lot more hands-on.
Watching these again now that I've got enough hours in the CRJ to know what consistently goes wrong with my approaches, it's a revelation, I'm getting *SO* much more out of these than I did the first time round ! You look to have the same problem I did (and lots of other people) with the default eyepoint being too low. Under settings > general > camera there are sliders for height, left-right, and zoom, this sets the centre point for the cameras and it MUST be set to 50 / 50 / 50, if I had to guess I'd say your height is 26. The sim seems to calculate camera positions as offsets from the central point which it assumes is 50/50/50 even if it's not rather than as absolute positions, so if your sliders are at anything else the eyepoints get offset from the wrong place. If you put your height up to 50 (then never touch any of them again) it will fix virtually every plane you get into and as a bonus the command that got added to save the VFR viewpoint (ie change the default view) will work properly as that is also saved as an offset from 50/50/50.
Glad to hear you're finding them useful still! The viewpoint is a nice point I forgot about actually, I tend to just have a preset view for Alt+1 for the Cockpit View I want as a custom view but I'll definitely change the height value now!
You were right. 😁 I can see why this is your favourite plane so far in MSFS2020. Really enjoyed your tutorial video series. It will give me something to follow when I pay my coin for it. We are really lucky in the UK at the moment. We have so many great reviewers making videos for FS2020. Yourself, 320 SimPilot, FlightDeck2Sim etc... And now we have developers like FENIX Simulations making what can only be described as the pinnacle of flight simulation software, all coming out of the UK. Makes you proud to be British. 👍😍
Hi Chris! You'll not regret getting it for yourself, I do really enjoy it over any other aircraft currently... But like you say, fenix sim is going to be really exciting for us all! 🇬🇧
Now I understand why you love this aircraft, I’m becoming more confident. I’m currently learning to catch an ILS, I’ve been landing manually so far. Still an issue with clearing scratchpad. Seems if you do combination of buttons and menus, it will clear. Working on it…also pressing sync heading button doesn’t work, unless I turn on HDG
@@BritishAvgeek I’ve seen none CRJs flying around in Australia, where I live. So I’ve been picking my routes from Japan, copy from FlightAware (search by aircraft type)
In the decent you chose to use VS. Couldnt you have chosen Vnav and the plane would adhear to the all the vnav restrictions as you handle the throttle?
Fantastic series on the CRJ. Calm and clear presentation and a ton of information.😄 Going to take some time to learn this aircraft but you surely help a lot. Thank you very much!
Really appreciate your videos! I'm having an issue when I need to change the runway or approach mid-flight. I will select a runway in simbrief and then atc gives a different approach for a new runway. Wanting to see how I can quickly and correctly update the MCU.
40:46 When I touch down, I don't hear any sounds from the landing gear. It's dead silent. Did you install any sound mod? Is there something wrong with my sound settings? I only have this problem with CRJ, no other aircraft.
Thanks a lot for your tutorials. I follow you every time you share a new video and you are always fantastic and help us to improve our skills! Go On!! Greetings from Italy 👋🏻
7:13 Easier way to fix a discontinuity is to press the soft key and bring the duplicate waypoint down to the scratchpad, and then simply press the soft key to overwrite the one above. Much faster than clearing each field individually. So for this case you would bring the second REDFA down to the pad, then click on the first one to overwrite it. Also to avoid any guess work on FPM while descending, just go to the DIR INTC page on the box. It will give you the required FPM to reach the correct altitude of each waypoint.
Hey ! I’m back again. Decision altitude, any convenient way getting BIG numbers entered ? Last I needed like 2450ft minimum, as you turn the know, increment is 1ft…I gave up turning, had so much else to do in the cockpit
NIce tutorial, thanks! How do you move around the cockpit, though? Moves and all the zooming look pretty targeted and spot on. Still need to get there, somehow. Fiddling with the mouse seems cumbersome, still.
Love the tutorials. They’ve been a huge help! Though I’ve realized after nailing my first ILS approach. I’ve ran into 4 RNAV approaches in a row since. Which usually end really badly in a hands on manual approach and landing with terrible glide slope management and 3g touchdowns. . Any chance we could get an RNAV approach tutorial for the CRJ?
Use the RNAV as a Lateral Guidance approach, but you have to do the descent/verticle speed work yourself as the CRJ can't do some RNPs/RNAVs in real life!
Thank you for these tutorials. They are great to follow and to learn how to fly this airplane. How do you get the destination airport metar ? I've searched on the CDU but did not find a way as on the ax32nx.
Hi! Glad you found them useful! Absolutely love flying the CRJ in MSFS - it's such a fantastic add-on! I usually get the metar using the .metar command in the vPilot client or getting a metar via our dedicated metar area inside the channels discord server discord.gg/britishavgeek 🙂
The CRJ is my favorite right now. Just wished it had ACARS to pull METARS and D-ATIS (not sure if the RL plane does or not) but overall well done aircraft.
So if you would’ve just hit the VNAV button on the FCU you would not have had to even worry about hitting the constraints correct? Just monitoring your speed.
Yes :) though at times it can be a little clunky and misses them every now and again (the ones that read At or Above a particular altitude I find it struggles with)
I love to be able to follow your Tutorials, but the CRJ causing my sim to crash and then I can't reload it again unless I remove the CRJ folder completely, it seems I am not the only one and it could be just those that updated from the Marketplace rather than from Aerosoft, but Aerosoft say it's too few customers for them to worry about it so £42 down the drain. Great stuff though and well worth the watch.
I always advise against building from the marketplace because going direct supports the developer more. I'm sure if there's an issue they'll fix it soon but for those with the Aerosoft.com version it's very good and any issues you just log back in and download a fresh install package. Does the ASUpdater program not work for you? It's almost as if it hasn't downloaded all the files you need
My friend ! Have you done any tutorials RNAV/VNAV with CRJ ? Please advice, thx for your excellent video creations ! I’m enjoying CRJ a lot, but need to swap soon, as I’ve flown these for ages. By the way, have you noticed how much CRJ1000 pitches up, if you don’t have enough thrust on ? There’s a clear chance of stalling the aircraft.
So, the CRJ can't fly fill RNAV approaches, it can fly LNAV only RNAV approaches in real life according to the real crj captain who helped me learn the jet. Effectively VNAV is mostly advisory so you need to decide the vertical speed etc yourself and for RNAV approaches, you can only do the ones that are LNAV only
@@BritishAvgeek Ok, understood Sir ! I tried a bit today, RNAV RWY26 to Queenstown, NZ. Hard to manage the altitude by hand ✋🏼 Thought you might have a tutorial to follow 📺 👀
@@yams900 ah so all you can do in that instance is fly the LNAV elements of the RNAV approach but you then have to manage the descent yourself using the charts (so you can see what height to be as you pass each point of the RNAV)
Where do you find the amount you are heading? i.e. "British Avgeek turn heading 245." Where's the number you see, to adjust your heading to 245? Thanks.
once again excellent tutorial. is there any chance you could do a tutorial on camera movement/key settings? i cant figure out which once I need to use to move the camera around other then the freelook with the mouse.
I have right mouse click press and hold for free look - and then in the keyboard settings, Translate Cockpit View Left/Right/Up/Down are my L/R/U/D arrows on the keyboard :)
I do not have the CRJ but I am very interested in it. I have a lot more respect now for CRJ pilots. This plane looks quite challenging to learn! I am getting confused on everything on the ND and stuff, with VORS lol. I can do it on the Airbus and Boeing but not the CRJ haha. I would be interested in buying it though and giving it a chance. It really looks like a spaceship in the cockpit!
@@BritishAvgeek Indeed it is! What airliners would you like to see into the game? I absolutely can’t hold my wits of me for the FBW A380. Pinpoint simulations is making a 777 but that won’t be out for a long time. It’s freeware though but I have high hopes. It seems the dev team is a bunch of college kids so they have school as well. I would love to see a 777 in the game as they are so so amazing. The Ge90 engines are crazy but we know about CS. I will give him credit on the design though besides the fuel page with 4 engines on the EICAM lol and the fmc. I might buy it though because it is such a beautiful plane and the 300er is only $20. Salty compatibility mod works with it so I mean… for $20 not entirely bad. What are your thoughts?
@@BritishAvgeek They are all great planes! What are your thoughts about me buying CS 777? Also, if you had to make a guess, do you think the A380 will be done by this year?
Man, these videos are so clutch,. You've got a fan. I've dug deeply into the channel with at least 6 hours of watched content so far. Great job! Anyway. . i do have a question though regarding the instrument approach here. At 15:15 you enter the ADF for the ROT NDB. I see this was found on your ILS chart for Rotterdam. However, at the time of me trying to learn this, the procedures have been completely updated and the approach is now REDFA 3R. And the ROT NDB is not on this new chart. Any ideas where else i might find this for future reference when i have to do this on my own.
Hi! Glad to hear you're enjoying the content! Of course they'd be updated again 🤣 the little NDB Symbol where the frequency is (or just 3-4 numbers) usually shows an NDB but if it's been removed since with a procedural update then I wouldn't worry about tuning it. You could also just leave the aircraft to auto-tune the frequencies as I've shown on recent live streams providing it's an ILS - at 15nm or so from the airport it'll have the ILS autotuned - you could then use the DME Hold function on the centre console (on the radio stack, the little H) to prevent it autotuning to something else and to lock into that frequency if that makes sense?
@@BritishAvgeek the auto tune function seems to work well enough so far. What your saying makes since on a minute scale. I’m still learning. Lol. I feel like I had everything going swimmingly. I ran the tutorial without having the video playing. So my first crj solo so to speak. I got to cruising ALT, N1 set perfect for M.78. Took in some beautiful views using the av geek custom cams. Then it was time to start setting up my approach data. And as soon as I touched the dep/app button on FMS the entire bird became unresponsive. Still moving through the air though. So, Msfs was working. But the plane itself, completely unresponsive. Nothing worker. All displays frozen. Analog controls still moved though. I had to exit out. Huge bummer. Have you experienced a bug as such before?
@@charleshemphill7602 ah yes depends where you're flying - you can sometimes crash the script that runs in the background for the systems on the crj so everything goes unresponsive. What airport were you flying into?
@@BritishAvgeek its was very good information, I hade before check another channel with real pilot but looks they didnt show all stuff like you did so I could update my flowchart I have made so its be easyer for me fly the aircraft so big thank you :-)
Hey British Avgeek. Done a Vatsim flight in the CRJ for the first time in awhile (sad british avgeek noises). For my arrival, I usually enter in my simbrief arrival just so I have something in. Was flying into Louisville, and I always expect to change it. However, changing the STAR mid flight seems to overlap other STARs? Anyways, my FMC was completely screwed and I asked the kind ATC guy for a hold and he told me to hold at DLAMP I think. Well low and behold I enter the hold properly and it doesn't even direct to the hold. I tried going direct to it, but it didn't want to. At that point I just asked for vectors and just slapped the ILS frequency in the rad page. In a nutshell, is there a way to change the STAR without slaughtering your FMC like me? This isn't the first time this has happened either and I think the first time was in France at Charles de Gaulle and man those guys had croissants in their mouth the entire time I couldn't understand them 😂😂
Wow 😅 I don't think I've had that issue before - but if I did I'd check Legs to see if I have any discontinuity lines and if it's messed up I'd just delete all of the messed up waypoints so I have no star at all, EXEC then add it in fresh :)
@@BritishAvgeek I do and I just updated a few days ago unless it updated again or it failed. Edit: Basically once I already executed a approach and I need to change it, yeah it doesn't like that and two approaches show...
They're actually overlaid onto your screen using my streaming software... They're on my second screen otherwise but you can add Navigraph In-Sim Toolbar to display them inside the sim too
Awesome tutorial! Now, a stupid question, when the green glideslope diamond (the little one one the right side next to altitude) goes down, I should pull up and if the green diamond is above horizon I should nose down?
The centre line is what you want - if the glideslope diamond goes up above the centre guidance line, you need to reduce rate of descent as the glideslope is moving away above you and you're below profile.... And if the diamond goes down below the central horizontal guidance line you're above the profile so need to increase rate of descent. Also note - importantly that on final approach, pitch for speed... Throttle for rate of descent - seems odd but it'll make sense when you do it
@@BritishAvgeek Nice! Ye I can pretty much manage every aspect of the landing without problems but I'm having a real hard time keeping the diamond on the centre line in the CRJ700. Just need more practice then! Thanks for the information.
@@jjkhyl5776 well, try not to chase it too much - make a control input to get back on profile and let the aircraft settle. If you're slightly under for example, maintain the same pitch but apply some throttle - basic principles of throttle for rate of descent and pitch for speed helps ✈️
Nice tutorial. Wing inspection lights is only used during hours of darkness for pre flight inspection and for illumination during engine start, though.
@@BritishAvgeek I don’t think the pilots can see the wings from the cockpit actually. I need to check this next time I fly. The DME-H function is also very neat to use during departures and approaches for more situational awareness. I use it all the time.
@@thomheg I had used DME H a while ago but found a few bugs with it so steered away from it... I'll be sure to give it another go! Appreciate all the extra tips and info! 🙂
@@thomheg awesome! Hoping to bring some QW787 content in the near future and of course some PMDG DC6 content if I can get that too! Imagine I'll struggle to fly that for a bit 😂
Yeah, what a MAJOR pain in the ass this aircraft is. I made it as far as the top of decent, then it just started going wacky. I was hoping to be able to master this thing, but the aircraft, the FMC and the interface of the cockpit by Bombardier is a mess of a confusing disaster. And Aerosoft did a great job replicating this. I really hate this thing and if I did not enjoy small airliners so much, I would just delete it, but there isn't any other one I've found yet. Maybe an ERJ is easier and more logical? Idk. I did like the FSX simple CRJ a lot better.
Make sure you're at or below 250 KIAS at 10,000'. The video shows about 275 knots passing 10,000' which is a big no-no. Also, in the modern ATC system there's no reason to not operate your transponder on ALT at all times.
It does indeed yes but ultimately I'm recording, planning, thinking about what I'm going to say etc all whilst flying and managing the aircraft so these little mishaps happen - if you watch my other tutorials and streams you'll know I leave them in as a learning point rather than edit it out and pretend I'm perfect 👍 That aside, I hope you enjoyed the rest of the tutorial
8 frigging months Aerocrud!! 8 flipping months you’ve had to get this plane over to XBOX but noooooo, we’ve got to make a twin otter and, and, and……. Get of your asses and get this plane to us poor lowly console simmer’s!!!
I think with everything you need to do (especially with no autothrottle) it might be a little difficult unless you have hardware like the Turtle Beach VelocityOne Flight kit which also works on Xbox

I have right mouse click press and hold for free look - and then in the keyboard settings, Translate Cockpit View Left/Right/Up/Down are my L/R/U/D arrows on the keyboard :)
Nice video, thanks
You're welcome! Hope you found it useful 🙂✈️
I do not have the CRJ but I am very interested in it. I have a lot more respect now for CRJ pilots. This plane looks quite challenging to learn! I am getting confused on everything on the ND and stuff, with VORS lol. I can do it on the Airbus and Boeing but not the CRJ haha. I would be interested in buying it though and giving it a chance. It really looks like a spaceship in the cockpit!
The airbus is very simple by comparison! The CRJ needs even more forward thinking and careful management - it's awesome 🙂
@@BritishAvgeek Indeed it is! What airliners would you like to see into the game? I absolutely can’t hold my wits of me for the FBW A380. Pinpoint simulations is making a 777 but that won’t be out for a long time. It’s freeware though but I have high hopes. It seems the dev team is a bunch of college kids so they have school as well. I would love to see a 777 in the game as they are so so amazing. The Ge90 engines are crazy but we know about CS. I will give him credit on the design though besides the fuel page with 4 engines on the EICAM lol and the fmc. I might buy it though because it is such a beautiful plane and the 300er is only $20. Salty compatibility mod works with it so I mean… for $20 not entirely bad. What are your thoughts?
@@jdzzl I'd love a high fidelity 777 and an A350 too in addition to an A380. Tough one though as I would also really like a Boeing 757-200!
@@BritishAvgeek They are all great planes! What are your thoughts about me buying CS 777? Also, if you had to make a guess, do you think the A380 will be done by this year?
@@jdzzl A380, maybe end of next year, the CS777 - absolutely not. Don't burn your money just wait for the PMDG 777
Man, these videos are so clutch,. You've got a fan. I've dug deeply into the channel with at least 6 hours of watched content so far. Great job!
Anyway. . i do have a question though regarding the instrument approach here. At 15:15 you enter the ADF for the ROT NDB. I see this was found on your ILS chart for Rotterdam. However, at the time of me trying to learn this, the procedures have been completely updated and the approach is now REDFA 3R. And the ROT NDB is not on this new chart. Any ideas where else i might find this for future reference when i have to do this on my own.
Hi! Glad to hear you're enjoying the content! Of course they'd be updated again 🤣 the little NDB Symbol where the frequency is (or just 3-4 numbers) usually shows an NDB but if it's been removed since with a procedural update then I wouldn't worry about tuning it.
You could also just leave the aircraft to auto-tune the frequencies as I've shown on recent live streams providing it's an ILS - at 15nm or so from the airport it'll have the ILS autotuned - you could then use the DME Hold function on the centre console (on the radio stack, the little H) to prevent it autotuning to something else and to lock into that frequency if that makes sense?
@@BritishAvgeek the auto tune function seems to work well enough so far. What your saying makes since on a minute scale. I’m still learning. Lol. I feel like I had everything going swimmingly. I ran the tutorial without having the video playing. So my first crj solo so to speak. I got to cruising ALT, N1 set perfect for M.78. Took in some beautiful views using the av geek custom cams. Then it was time to start setting up my approach data. And as soon as I touched the dep/app button on FMS the entire bird became unresponsive. Still moving through the air though. So, Msfs was working. But the plane itself, completely unresponsive. Nothing worker. All displays frozen. Analog controls still moved though. I had to exit out. Huge bummer. Have you experienced a bug as such before?
@@charleshemphill7602 ah yes depends where you're flying - you can sometimes crash the script that runs in the background for the systems on the crj so everything goes unresponsive. What airport were you flying into?
Thank you very much for very nice tutorial :-)
you're welcome!
@@BritishAvgeek its was very good information, I hade before check another channel with real pilot but looks they didnt show all stuff like you did so I could update my flowchart I have made so its be easyer for me fly the aircraft so big thank you :-)
Hi, how do you get the data above the PFD with the waypoints and duration? I can't get that to show?
MFD ADV I think the. VNAV if it's what you mean
@@BritishAvgeek Thanks, found it :)
Brilliant instruction thanks .
Hope it helped 🙂
Hey British Avgeek. Done a Vatsim flight in the CRJ for the first time in awhile (sad british avgeek noises). For my arrival, I usually enter in my simbrief arrival just so I have something in. Was flying into Louisville, and I always expect to change it. However, changing the STAR mid flight seems to overlap other STARs? Anyways, my FMC was completely screwed and I asked the kind ATC guy for a hold and he told me to hold at DLAMP I think. Well low and behold I enter the hold properly and it doesn't even direct to the hold. I tried going direct to it, but it didn't want to. At that point I just asked for vectors and just slapped the ILS frequency in the rad page.
In a nutshell, is there a way to change the STAR without slaughtering your FMC like me? This isn't the first time this has happened either and I think the first time was in France at Charles de Gaulle and man those guys had croissants in their mouth the entire time I couldn't understand them 😂😂
Wow 😅 I don't think I've had that issue before - but if I did I'd check Legs to see if I have any discontinuity lines and if it's messed up I'd just delete all of the messed up waypoints so I have no star at all, EXEC then add it in fresh :)
@@BritishAvgeek I have tried this actually and the waypoints were completely glitched. 2 Waypoints would always show up. man it was ugly
@@jdzzl do you have navigraph Nav data installed across both the sim and the crj? Might be work ensuring both are updated perhaps
@@BritishAvgeek I do and I just updated a few days ago unless it updated again or it failed.
Edit: Basically once I already executed a approach and I need to change it, yeah it doesn't like that and two approaches show...
hey there, how did you get the approach plates into the sim like you did?
They're actually overlaid onto your screen using my streaming software... They're on my second screen otherwise but you can add Navigraph In-Sim Toolbar to display them inside the sim too
Awesome tutorial! Now, a stupid question, when the green glideslope diamond (the little one one the right side next to altitude) goes down, I should pull up and if the green diamond is above horizon I should nose down?
The centre line is what you want - if the glideslope diamond goes up above the centre guidance line, you need to reduce rate of descent as the glideslope is moving away above you and you're below profile.... And if the diamond goes down below the central horizontal guidance line you're above the profile so need to increase rate of descent.
Also note - importantly that on final approach, pitch for speed... Throttle for rate of descent - seems odd but it'll make sense when you do it
@@BritishAvgeek Nice! Ye I can pretty much manage every aspect of the landing without problems but I'm having a real hard time keeping the diamond on the centre line in the CRJ700. Just need more practice then! Thanks for the information.
@@jjkhyl5776 well, try not to chase it too much - make a control input to get back on profile and let the aircraft settle. If you're slightly under for example, maintain the same pitch but apply some throttle - basic principles of throttle for rate of descent and pitch for speed helps ✈️
@@BritishAvgeek Gotcha! Thanks for the tips. You make awesome videos dude keep it up.
@@jjkhyl5776 thanks 😃
Nice tutorial. Wing inspection lights is only used during hours of darkness for pre flight inspection and for illumination during engine start, though.
How about in icing? Good to know! Thanks :)
@@BritishAvgeek I don’t think the pilots can see the wings from the cockpit actually. I need to check this next time I fly.
The DME-H function is also very neat to use during departures and approaches for more situational awareness. I use it all the time.
@@thomheg I had used DME H a while ago but found a few bugs with it so steered away from it... I'll be sure to give it another go! Appreciate all the extra tips and info! 🙂
@@BritishAvgeek looking forward to more videos from you in the future. I learn a lot from you, especially regarding Vatsim ATC.
@@thomheg awesome! Hoping to bring some QW787 content in the near future and of course some PMDG DC6 content if I can get that too! Imagine I'll struggle to fly that for a bit 😂
Is July 18, 2022 ans i still have the ILS bug where the GS and LOC don't work
What is your flow before trying to fly the ILS in the CRJ? Are you capturing below the glideslope or above?
Wait, they've released a 900/X?
No, it's coming soon
Everything went great except for turning on final the thing went bonkers! Back and forth up and down.
my plane seems to start itself up even in gate ?
In the EFB, click Aircraft then click Cold & Dark, then click the icon below Default State until that says Cold & Dark too
@@BritishAvgeek i really like your totorials
@@Luke-wx5bu great to hear thanks! Hope you find them all useful! 😊
Yeah, what a MAJOR pain in the ass this aircraft is. I made it as far as the top of decent, then it just started going wacky. I was hoping to be able to master this thing, but the aircraft, the FMC and the interface of the cockpit by Bombardier is a mess of a confusing disaster. And Aerosoft did a great job replicating this. I really hate this thing and if I did not enjoy small airliners so much, I would just delete it, but there isn't any other one I've found yet. Maybe an ERJ is easier and more logical? Idk. I did like the FSX simple CRJ a lot better.
Make sure you're at or below 250 KIAS at 10,000'. The video shows about 275 knots passing 10,000' which is a big no-no. Also, in the modern ATC system there's no reason to not operate your transponder on ALT at all times.
It does indeed yes but ultimately I'm recording, planning, thinking about what I'm going to say etc all whilst flying and managing the aircraft so these little mishaps happen - if you watch my other tutorials and streams you'll know I leave them in as a learning point rather than edit it out and pretend I'm perfect 👍
That aside, I hope you enjoyed the rest of the tutorial
8 frigging months Aerocrud!! 8 flipping months you’ve had to get this plane over to XBOX but noooooo, we’ve got to make a twin otter and, and, and……. Get of your asses and get this plane to us poor lowly console simmer’s!!!
I think with everything you need to do (especially with no autothrottle) it might be a little difficult unless you have hardware like the Turtle Beach VelocityOne Flight kit which also works on Xbox
