Possibly the most informative video I have ever watched, your knowledge of the aircraft and its systems is very impressive. Regards from England for 2023.

Great tutorial! i really liked how you pointed out real life when it differed from the sim. Looking forward to seeing more of them. I hope FlightFX continues to get it as close to RL as possible.

Just started my first times flying with VATSIM and have used this jet for my first about 7 flights so far. It’s so amazing the info you gave in this also it makes me happy so see all the updates they did to make it like the real aircraft as you were saying they were missing in this video ! Thanks for the info and congrats on owning such an amazing jet

What an incredible video man! Thanks a ton! I love flying the Vision Jet in MSFS so this is just so helpful to get really deep into the sim aspect of everything. What an incredible aircraft it is though... I've been doing maximum range trips to really push the jet as far as it can go going from PHLI to different Line and Cook Island airports in the Pacific and it's been so accurate with the fuel consumption. The plane is such a joy to fly too, it's slow to accept inputs, it's not overly touchy, and it's so easy to land with its lower approach and landing speeds. I'm envious you get to fly it in real life!

Your videos are fantastic Tim. Thank you for the effort!

I love this- first time SIm Brief plans I messed w were able to be integrated into XBOX MSFS! Seeing the runway diagrams, procedure charts, glideslopes. etc. was so unreal (then weeks later I learned A310 can fetch my SimBrief FP too, along with Honda Jet I will buy very soon!) And this plane just WORKED flawlessly, integrated and streamlined like you said, no BS busy work buttons, very stable and practical at all phases of flight! I would love to fly in real one or learn so bad- probably none around here in CT.

After many SF50 hours in MSFS, your content is helping me take it to the next level - greatly appreciated. One thing that would be really valuable is if you were to demonstrate one or two of the emergency scenarios that the training ctr focuses on during your annuals ... understanding that the sim is limited in that regard. My interest is in practicing some of the scenarios in this aircraft in the sim. I certainly can do that from the emergency procedures in the manual, but the perspective you bring in your online content is just fantastic, high value. And thanks for your active participation in discord as well

Awesome video. I love learning to fly these digital planes from pilots who fly the real thing.

[tman]

Definitely one of the best. Thank you for your contribution to the community!

[dapperdanman]

This is a fantastic video! Thank you for putting it together, I'm loving this Flying iPad!

Hi Tim, i just wanted to say thank you for this awesome video. I love this airplane on msfs 2020 and it’s amazing to get more knowledge from a real pilot. This makes our experience much more real :) greeting’s from Colombia

[gabsmoscow]

By far the best video about this amazing plane; really well done, Tim! you for sure have a new subscriber

[StevieW-Steve]

Great video, very informative. Love the comparison between the sim and real life. Thanks for making the video.

[andrewdstokes]

Excellent video, thanks Tim. I wanted a full intro to this new plane for me (MSFS), and your video was perfect!

[rtbrt]

Bought the Vision Jet and love it. It was worth every penny and I would have paid the double the price. Love it.

[brandonchappell]

Not all hero's wear capes !! Incredible video man !! Gonna pick this up soon, and definitely feel smarter after watching this !!

[jress]

A very informative tutorial of the Vision Jet, if possible please repeat same flight in the updated version of the vision jet. Looking forward to more of your videos.

[ferrabras]

It's nice to hear from the real pilot.
Awesome instructional flight.

[ComdrStew]

Nice a real SF50 pilot. I just bought the SF50 G2 one off the market. I always loved Cirrus planes and would love to fly the Vision Jet someday.

[chrisbaker]

Thanks, that was great to watch. Also, thanks for explaining how to get those god damn headphones off the dash!
