This guy really just gave me my 45 training hours in 25 minutes. Not all hero’s wear capes

he does

[@Furdude513]

Your right he wears… Planes

"We're going straight for Christ the Redeemer" that's exactly what my instructor said on my first flight

[@pleasuretokill]

does not inspire confidence

[@JohnDoe-rx8xi]

I think that would be an inspiring experience.

[@VRFlightSimGuy]

Even though I'm a hardcore simmer, I really enjoyed watching this tutorial for newbies. Nice one.

[@xxfalconxx3990]

I have an Xbox. It’d be really hard to full sim on it. I’m just glad it’s on Xbox so I can finally enjoy this beautiful game and try to be as realistic as possible with a controller haha.

[@robhind943]

This comment may sound sarcastic but, no joke best tutorial i've ever watched.

[@WheezinGeezerTV]

He always does great video and tutorials. There are few out there. "Into the blue simulations" does great videos like plane reviews. Meaning no disrespect to Squirrel for mentioning.

[@FrankBurnside]

You mean "no yoke"...

[@jaykuykendall7660]

Agreed, this was phenomenal.

[@m21e32]

Agreed. I will be checking out the rest of the videos

[@stephensonger7324]

Honestly yeah, reminds me of a CFI, great work by him

[@54spatula]

I cannot believe we’re getting a flight sim of this quality on a console. Slap me someone.

[@rgm4646]

Its crazy isnt it? No more 'wondering' if the new Flight sim will work on your pc.

[@Ethan-zq5ry]

@Clpzii Alt it won’t if it’s another game that you are playing competitively, only for the flight sim

[@DJKNIGHTXIII]

Exactly, just invested in an Xbox series s just for this game.

[@M1KA27]

Virtual slap sent! 😄

[@DJKNIGHTXIII]

@@M1KA27 Air Marshal sent to remove you from plane for virtual assault. No more flying for you Mickey 😜

[@horizonzeromom]

My husband and I took turns playing around in the easy mode on the World Map with 4 or 5 different planes. We flew from Orlando to Tampa, flew over all the major theme parks, then our house North of Tampa and landed at MacDill AFB. We noticed the satellite images are older because we could still see the big oak tree that was once outside of our house that we cut down about 5-6 years ago. We explored San Vito dei Normanni (Italy) where my husband grew up; Shiner, TX where he went to high school; Kyoto, Japan where I lived and worked and even took the main menu tour around Giza. Then we challenged ourselves a bit by flying from Seoul to Pyongyang at night, just to see the contrast in how big and bright the lights are in South Korea vs. a nearly-dark North Korea. After I get through some basic flight training, my goals are to fly along the TransSiberian Railroad and the old Silk Road paths.

[@justinw-bs7053]

that sounds so fun!!

[@abdelrahimtoto8014]

[@anjummadani]

Squirrel you are a STAR! Not only is your delivery clear but the degree of thoughtfulness towards us newbies is remarkable. You have the knack of a natural born teacher with great empathy especially for ensuring giving not too much information all at once. Thank you.

[@jaknap1]

Great video. No stupid music, no stupid humor, excellent graphics, clear English, no selfies, content to the point, etc.

[@kokkitto]

I will use this sim to overcome my fear of flying. We fear what we don't understand.

[@niteowl360android]

Brilliant as always. Thank you. 1day 1hours 50min and few seconds away. You have the perfect ability of ensuring new comers never feel overwhelmed and at the same time encouraging them to persevere and get better at the SIM experience. Looking so forward to the whole series

[@RichC1524]

I know I am 2 years late here, but I just bought the Xbox S console and immediately purchased MSFS 2020. I have not played video games in close to 20 years. So glad I found your video and just wanted to thank you for making it and posting. Having done some systems training in the past myself, I thoroughly enjoy your tutorial style. Great voice and accent, by the way lol.

[@janosbornemisza1807]

Brand new to MSFX, never had a PC that could run it so it’s a delight having it on a console. This tutorial has really helped me get over my initial overwhelm - in particular the advice on setting the assistance options so you get the feedback of flight control while still keeping things easy.

[@jonnybrace1]

I have to say a massive thanks for this and all your MSFS videos! You explain everything in such a clear and interesting way and they are incredibly helpful so big respect! I hope you do similar tutorials for the Xbox like you did for PC 👍

[@mattatkins4804]

From someone who has never flown a sim like this..a heartfelt thank you. Your tone and demeanour are perfect for listening and learning. With your help, I too have flown my first airframe and seen my first landmark. Thank you. I shall watch the landing video when I'm done in the skies 😊

[@jayrents6648]

Just finished my 1st flight. Started in Calgary AB, flew over my home and landed on the number 1 highway. Great amount of fun

[@pasikeranen]

Thank you for the clear and simple instructions, managed to do first take off form my hometown’s airfield with this tutorial. What a joy!

[@flybeeson7950]

Brilliant tutorial - very clear instructions and just the right pace. Did my first ever take off following your instructions. Took off from Santos Dumont (Rio) and had a good close up look at Christ the Redeemer. Then, for a laugh, I tried to land (again first time) back at Santos Dumont. Approach wasn’t too bad but overshot the runway and landed in the sea, but just turned the plane around and came back onto the runway! Sully would have been proud! Then the plane somehow taxied itself back and parked - what a hoot! Obviously lots to learn. Great fun - thanks.

[@hammerpgh]

Picked up a Series X last week mainly for this sim. Really enjoyed this tutorial and looking forward to watching the rest. I already did my first takeoff and landing at my local airport (London City) but this is still a great video to watch. Great job 👏🏻

[@mattdrummond3552]

Thank you so much for the terrific video. Just got the Series X and flight sim and have been having a blast. You made it easier/faster to begin my fun, so thank you so much!

[@timothygaffney9296]

Thank you for this video. I am an old weekend pilot and non-gamer who's considering getting MSFS for my grandson's XBox One as a first step into the flight sim world. This was a very helpful familiarization; it really seemed as if you were coaching me from the right seat. I bookmarked your playlist.

[@marcrtaylor]

I love this! Thank you!! One note, the option for the HUD in chase mode has now moved into the User Experience section in the Assistance options. So don't set them all to off as it says in this video, set the HUD option to on.

[@Rendar600]

Thanks was stressing cause I lost my hud in chase not in training though

[@comfywomfy]

Thanks mate. I was stressing 😂

[@reaperskeeper8259]

Thank you I was so confused when I went to external view and the hud was not there !!

[@eyeh8u246]

Thank you

[@blak14ace]

cheers i was wondering where i went wrong lol

[@AlexWhitaker123]

What a bloody good video. Really impressed on how clear you gave the instructions. Very good for first time players. I played on pc a year ago but decided to wait for the xbox version. These videos are keeping me entertained while I'm at work waiting for my days off to begin so I can go play it for myself.

[@mauriciomorro6693]

I'm going to guess this xbox version will add hundred of thousands to the simmer community Welcome and dont let any of our fellow PC simmers talk you down

[@thehorrorhunter]

I hope they don't talk me down due to the fact that I paid a fraction of what they did for their rig and my game runs better on my x.

[@Dreadpirateflappy]

seems top be the other way round on many videos, many Xbox players seem to think they are superior because they have the same game yet paid far less. not realising they don't quite have the same experience as PC users. I think it's great there are more flight simmers out there, but everyone just needs to get along.

[@thehorrorhunter]

@@Dreadpirateflappy this isn't a pissing contest.and I could care less about what platform I'm playing on.i have my series x for 1st party ms games and my ps5 for Sony 1st party titles.

Great video, thanks for sharing! Will definitely watch your other tutorials to get the most out of msfs

I’m a brand new to this and this tutorial is priceless to me. Enjoying the help thank you kindly sir.

[@wvprice]

Great Tutorial, many thanks, made my experience starting out much more enjoyable. This is a great Sim can't believe how detailed it is, brilliant on the Xbox Series X.

[@ArizonaGunsDave]

Subscribed! This is the best tutorial I have seen, well done my friend. I bought the deluxe edition on my Xbox Series S and I have zero flying experience but this video proved even people like me who have no experience can enjoy this! Very nice!

[@beardedbobber]

Massive help as a newb, so impressive on the X . Few bugs surrounding landing gear deploying I've found. Picked up a hotas one , helps so much

[@patrickdavis5345]

Headed off to install Flight Sim on my XBOX. Never played with it because it seemed to complicated. This walkthrough demystified a bunch of the basics and I'm about to recreate your flight. Thanks for posting, kind sir!

This helped me get up in the air and sight seeing in no time!! Subscribed!!!

[@dickytunes]

Excellent work as always. You’re a very good instructor.

[@laurasfar18]

Your guide really helped a lot. The sensivity of ls x and ls y should be at least - 75% to get an A in flight school in the horizon maneuvre using an Xbox controller - otherwise it is way to lively. Iv'e only been flying today ever and have progressed faster because of your two videos. Thanks a lot 👍

[@brandonsantacruz7218]

This give me old memories of when I was trying out fsx

[@notjustsad]

Thanks man, your videos are incredible, had to really be careful not to fall asleep and that doesnt sound like a compliment but it really is. This is ZEN-like and now I know everything I need to know, thanks so much!

[@jima7351]

The best MSFS tutorials I have found. Really well done Mr. SQRL.

[@bradleyyorke1533]

Hiya mate, so glad I found this video! I've been watching your tutorials on the pc version whilst trying to play on xbox! This video is a god send!

[@PetePierce]

You my man just earned yourself a like and a subscription. Quality vid from begining to end.

[@Brentt777]

This was so helpful! I was able to do this and land on my first try. I didn't watch your landing video though. I didnt know where to park the plane. It sounded very windy up by the redeemer destination. I had a little trouble turning up there.

[@RetroJulesWorldofTanksConsole]

It's early days for me, but I can't wait to get into this sim. Already purchased a wheel stand and suitable attachment for all three honeycomb flight controls when they come out(hopefully in Autumn) I want to experience this as a full blown flight sim with all the bells and whistles and flight controls. Trouble is......can't get a series X for love or money(without paying scummy scalper prices!!) but I will be patient. Thank you Squirell for this new series. i have watched all your PC tutorials and really enjoyed them. I look forward to watching more tutorials for the xbox. Cheers
