Very useful. Approaches and arrivals confuse me somewhat. This does help. I shall follow this tutorial tonight. Last time I tried an approach the autopilot had me going in endless circles. 😂
I'm sure you figured it out, but some approaches have a holding pattern on intercept. Once you intercept the approach, the GPS will continue to hold until you go into your flight plan (FPL button), select the next waypoint (below HOLD), and click the direct to button, then click activate. This will get you out of the hold and to continue the approach in case other people have this issue.
@@Huddison I flew it mostly successfully. I had some issues with the vertical navigation part. It seemed like it would work and then not work (MY issue, not the simulator). But I will fly it again. I just need to grasp all that is going on. All else was successful. Fun. I love learning this stuff. [UPDATE] - flew it a second time successfully. Both times the FLC turned itself off after takeoff. The first time I was behind the plane trying to get caught up. The second time I realized what happened and it worked great. Now a NEW route somewhere else! And with different planes!

The recent update from late June broke the magenta altitude readout on the upper right of the display. Along with the other VNAV and GPS low-altitude IFR issues I mentioned in the other video comments. 😢
Same here on Xbox version. As in previous video with the 172 the magenta altitude display still not appearing. Reassuring in a way that it’s not just happening to me!
What a wonderful video thanks. Even after months of practice, I still get rusty on the correct 'order' of things with the G1000 ILS approaches (esp if I have a few months off the sim!). Question: there are an insane amount of options when it comes to flight planning (built-in World Map, Little Navmap, Simbrief, or even simply programming the G1000 approach in the cockpit like you did in this video) - what's your most effective goto method you find for an 'easy' flight plan between two airports? I often confuse myself (analysis paralysis!) when it comes to trying different approaches to flight planning. Everyone seems to have their own preferred method. Then ATC (whilst great for adding immersion) just gives you ridiculous high altitudes for an approach to a regional airport in the 172. It all adds to the confusion....(which is probably why you turn ATC off!) Sometimes you just want a simple flight (20-30mins) and you want a reliable goto method that is repeatable without having to spend 30 mins researching videos on how to use that tool, planner, instrument etc).
Thanks. Probably the easiest method to plan a quick flight, is through the MSFS World Map. If I want to plan a more complex flight plan, I tend to use Navigraph: ruclips.net/video/PU311Zly3QI/видео.html Go with what's easiest for you and slowly migrate to the more complex flight planners.
"mixture" adjustment on a turboprop? The tower controllers are going to LOVE a Caravan trudging into their hyper busy airspace @ 70 knots! Parking in the grass next to the active?? You won't be invited back!
You do realise that it's a sim right? You are also very unlikely to get trucks driving across the runway, just as an aircraft is about to land (although that wouldn't surprise me at Heathrow)
What knob did you use to change on Multi Purpose Panel to change your final fix attitude to 2500 feet? Brilliant flight planning with the G1000. I'm the guy that couldn't figure the range knob equivalent from X-plane to MSFS using the mouse wheel to do for the range. Rather than X-Plane using the the left mouse button to change. Hah! Same equipment, just different techniques. Flight sim programs do this but all the same. Thanks James
I move the switch on the far left of the Multi Panel to the 'ALT' position to change Altitude (then use the large silver knob to change the actual alt number) - hope this helps ;)
Great video. Thanks. I saw that there were two fixes along the approach that had the same name, BIG9.0. Not sure why they would duplicate a fix name on the approach. Any ideas?
Thanks for this interesting video👍. My question: Is this shown procedure also possible with other GA airplanes or Garmin devices (GNS530/530)? Greetings from Berlin
Interestingly I did the exact same procedure but the altitudes were different to yours. I just downloaded a Navigraph update so I wonder if that was the reason. ?
@@Huddison apparently Navigraph does indeed update MSFS data. I did manage to land but came in to high and used the missed approach for a 2nd go. All on board were saved!
@@Huddison I though in your video you didn't need to activate it. It was no big deal though because it was very evident I was no longer descending once I reached my final fix. Very very cool! Loving these videos on ILS. What happens if you choose vectors in msfs?
Hi dear, can you help me please? How I navigate the approaches page on the king air 350 , I have an x box control and just can't choose anything else other the approaches in the page.... On the TBM you can scroll up and down.... Many thanks
Hi, I have a problem with the mouse and my Thrustmaster, I also have the connected controller that I use only for free views, but I use more only the mouse and the Thrustmaster, the problem is that they conflict when I use them simultaneously, if as an example I have to click with the mouse any button of the plane and while I'm doing it I move the yoke or click a yoke button, the white dot of the controller begins to appear, and the arrow of the mouse disappears, Basically the movement I do with the yoke turns off the mouse until I touch the mouse again, and if I touch both all the time it starts to go crazy of course. I hope it is understood, do you know how to solve?
@ROOSTER_001 I had conflicts with certain controllers and my gamepad on my Series S. I suggest just using the mouse for cockpit interactions and your flight controller for aircraft functions.
I understand you are probably way past this point now but being a relatively new at flight sim 2020. I have tried to join your discord and it keeps telling me that my Email is already registered and will not let me get past that. So I guess I will not be joining your discord as it seems to not like me.
@@HuddisonActually it ended up the same. it tells me I have an unclaimed account and asks me for my Email and a password. When I enter those I get a message at the top on the screen stating my email is already registered and brings me back to the register account box. I'm fairly sure I have not joined your discord before as I just discovered your channel and am currently going through your back to basics tutorial. Well done on all the ones I have seen so far. I'm retired so time is about all I have. 😂
@@HuddisonYes, because underneath the somewhat irritating superficial extra 'chat', the content is very good and certainly well presented graphically. Thank you. 😺
It’s tutorials like this that make this sim so much more accessible for newbies like myself. Thank you so much for your back to basics series.
Thanks too Wesley.

That is something that I'm intending to explore.
Watch your descent speed, HUD! 😂
Interestingly I did the exact same procedure but the altitudes were different to yours. I just downloaded a Navigraph update so I wonder if that was the reason. ?
I don't think Navigraph would affect it (although I could be wrong). You should be able to complete the ILS with no issues though.
@@Huddison apparently Navigraph does indeed update MSFS data. I did manage to land but came in to high and used the missed approach for a 2nd go. All on board were saved!
Worked perfectly in the Cessna 172 Skyhawk G1000 but I did have to activate Approach mode once it reached the Glidepath.
Yes, approach mode needs to be activated to follow the GS.
@@Huddison I though in your video you didn't need to activate it. It was no big deal though because it was very evident I was no longer descending once I reached my final fix. Very very cool! Loving these videos on ILS. What happens if you choose vectors in msfs?
Where can I get that aircraft to follow along? Videos are awesome. Keep up the good work.
Not fully with you there?
I found it and purchased the pack for the aircraft you use in this video. Unfortunately almost at the end the cockpit screens went black.
