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.

This was a very well explained tutorial. For someone who has been simmin for years this was the most easy to understand.

[StephenMilward]

Thanks very much for this. Coming from FSX I've been a bit confused with many of FS2020's 'features'. Your videos help me a lot.

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. 😢

[sivoltage]

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. 😂

[RedRuffinsore]

Wonderful video. I learn so much from these. I will be trying this one tomorrow. Thanks, James.

Huddison; what a great video! Exactly what I was looking for. Thankyou very much. Subscribed!

Another great tutorial vid' mate. My Cessna failed to descend on AP on the last leg approach to Heathrow but no doubt an error between the keyboard and the chair.

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).

Thank you for clear instructions. Great video 😊

[mikecoffee]

These videos are just Spot on Thank You

[ArcanePath]

Looks pretty comprehensive. I learned a lot here, thank you
Can you tell me what the "B" button is bound to to reset the altimeter? In my sim it isn't bound to anything so I don't know what I'm supposed to do. Thanks

[jakew]

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?

[RaFi-lbxf]

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

[cwood]

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

[jamieknight]

Thanks for this. A fab little guide :)

[sivoltage]

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. ?

[danielhawley]

"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!

[MrKahuna]

Where can I get that aircraft to follow along? Videos are awesome. Keep up the good work.

[eduardoprada]

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
