    I am the newbie that asked for help. Jonathan you are just an AWESOME person to take time out to make this video. I looked extensively on RUclips for videos to help me bridge my basic knowledge of flying. I came from previous versions of MSFS to the current version and I was entirely lost. Johnathan's videos always stood out to me and I saved them for viewing again and again. This video will definitely allow me to start flying and move forward with my knowledge. Thank you Johnathan, you are truly the BEST!!!

      Hard agree. Easy to listen to, as well. Many Flight Sim RUclipsrs can do good content, but I want to click away after 2mins of listening to others. Not so here.

    This is what I have been wishing for, thank you. I will try this flight a few times, while also looking at LNM on the other screen, and then move over to a flight near my home airport. I think you made the PMDG 737 tutorial flight like this that I love so much. This is the way I learn best, show me, explain how, and let me follow along, and then I get it. Thank you.

    I live in South Carolina, in the US. I tried a lot of videos on ILS approaches and could never make much sense of them and could never complete an ILS landing.. Then I found your video and you made it all come together! I installed Little Navmap also, which helped tremendously. I can now do ILS landings with ease!! Thank you so much for your time and effort you put into this video.

  • @Leviathan0022
    @Leviathan0022 4 месяца назад +7

    One of the most informative videos you’ve done to date. Good on ya.
    You broke the process down in a way that was not speaking just over the heads of the viewer. I now have a better understanding of the difference between GPS, LOC 1 and 2 and how to better utilize them for navigation. The part where you went to the “more” options was something I was missing. Now all of that is sorted.
    You, JB, have given us many informative videos and I in particular enjoy watching you fly. I always pick up a pointer or two while watching. Thank you. PS. More videos like this please.

Gave me 1000% more confidence in what I was planning and doing. Thank you so much. Changed everything for me. 😊😊😊

  • @max_dee
    @max_dee 2 месяца назад +2

    Wow! Just love your great pacing and explanation of ILS concepts with the G1000 / 172.
    I've been on & off FS for decades and every time I have a break for a few months, I come back and don't remember how to fly anything other than simple VFR's. The one aspect I NEVER remember is the 'order' of programming the G1000.
    Your wonderful video just makes so much sense and locks in all the ideas swimming in your head from previous study and watching vids, consolidating it all into a very simple and easy to follow method. More importantly is it's so simple, it's repeatable!
    Well done sir :)

    And the bonus ability to export plans *from* Little Navmap straight into MFSF itself as you prep a flight is amazing. LNM is much more efficient at adding points, etc.

    Like another recent commenter, I've been using MSFS for about a year now and have long struggled with ILS. I couldn't seem to get to first base, and so I largely gave up trying. Then I watched this video, and, like, WOW. It made sense. It looked easy to follow. I tried a flight of my own in a c172. Nailed the ILS landing the first time. Then I tried an ILS landing my my daily flyer (Milviz Cessna C310R). And like, double-WOW, I nailed the ILS landing first time! Your efforts to share your knowledge are greatly appreciated.

  • @alanward9521
    @alanward9521 4 месяца назад +2

    Many thanks Jonathan for a great tutorial. Although I've been simming for years, I've never used the G1000 for anything other than the basic '6-pack' instruments. This has given me more confidence to give AP a try, now I have more understanding 🙂

  • @dalkapur
    @dalkapur 4 месяца назад +2

    That was brilliant for me, but not for the intended purpose as I am experienced both IRL and in the sim. However, I found it a great instructional primer on how to use the G1000. I've steered clear of glass cockpits until now as it all looks far too busy, but think I will give it a try.

    You have a perfect way of explaining things Jonathan and after watching many training videos for MS sim you hands down are the best at what you do. Not only that you sound like such a nice bloke, so a follow from me as I continue to try and keep learning this game on my Xbox. I am a newbie to flying, although I did have a go at flying my friend’s plane many years ago, so I need all the help I can get. But with your help, I am now enjoying FS even more. Cheers my friend.

    GREAT tutorial. There are always tips and tricks we can pick up. One of my clients had a Cherokee 180 and I have flown that exact flight several times. The restaurant at Petaluma is called The 49er Diner. That was a very fun flight to be a part of. Thanks! !! !!!
