MY GAME MODS (One tab per game)

Finding proper guidance in the game can be quite challenging, and it's rare to come across a YouTuber who explains things as effectively as this individual. Thanks to their guidance, I've mastered flying the Cessna 152 with ease. Their insights into key controls and camera settings were incredibly helpful.

TrackIR is simply magical on this sim, I can not recommend it enough. I have a 32" 1440p monitor on a stand over my Honeycomb yoke, so a bit closer than I otherwise could get it. The ability to look around you effortlessly, or lean in and out to read instruments and switches, or straighten up and look over the nose of the plane is just awesome. I was even hanging out the side of the Pitts Special, as I buzzed the Pyramids and all I needed was a fan on my face to make the illusion complete.

I just tried MSFS for the first time, the graphics blew me away and I uninstalled XPLANE 11 and FSX10 and will never go back. I am so glad to have stumbled on this series. Episodes 1, 2, and now 3 are just what I needed to start to get off to a good start. Thank you Squirrel.

A good teacher is worth their weight in gold. Thank you for being a good teacher..

[IntotheBlueSimulations]

It’s great to be able to get a handle on all of this before starting in the sim. Makes the transition easier. Thanks Squirrel! Looking forward to hitting the ground running and making some vids myself!

[whoswasian]

This is getting me even more hyped for the release! Also, good works on the tutorials. It will be great for beginners at flight sims. 👍

[BeowulfGaming]

amazing tutorials, ive spent around 20 hours just learning the game from youtube and guides and this was t he best series i found, everything else is 1 hour long and not straightforward, categorized and explained as well as this

[Joaquin]

I'm new to Flight sims, so these videos have been just amazing to start things up. great content!

[TheSoldonnick]

I created a youtube library called Flight Sim School and saved all your videos to it. I will be using these so much. Thank you sir!

[zero_burrito]

This is perhaps the best tutorial yet... Coming from Xplane this is completely different...

[Oscar-jcjp]

I was always wondering about the camera, Thank you, Squirrel!

[Chris]

And that is why playing this in VR makes a lot more sense! :)

[karlschultz]

Thanks for the awesome camera tutorial. Makes a tonne more sense now. The dragging the box bigger isn’t very obvious.

[MaxRank]

By far the most over complex camera system ever. Totally not needed, X-Plane nailed the camera .

[tenskippern]

Good, none yelling, and focused instructions, nice job, thank you.

[timgwilliams]

Thanks Squirrel - great job. I've been looking for this kind of tutorial that starts pretty much at the beginning. I'm close to getting things set up and watching this gives me more confidence I can succeed in this "hobby"and makes me more comfortable with the investment I'm making. You have a good pace and if I miss something I just rewind and listen again. You are a fast talker but I'm good with that because it's all description.

[leboromeo]

Ah, Squirell. God bless you, my friend. Love from Aus.

[fulltimespy]

Can't wait for the replay system to make cinematic videos of my flights.
Now I'll have to make due with the drone, and the free camera, and locked camera's.
Edit: thank you for showing that the xbox controller is useful with the drone.
This is gonna help me a ton with making videos.

[AlexieChinea]

Next Tuesday is going to feel like Christmas morning, can't wait.. Amazing Job Squirrel, like always. Thank You!

[yeetyboe]

I have been waiting for this. No one has done tutorials yet. So I don't need to struggle when playing thr game for the first time. Thanks!
