Best Beginner & Advanced Planes In Microsoft Flight Simulator

[@calogerofuca6778]

After about 150 hours of flying with Mfs2020 i've found the A320 (Fly-by-wire mod one) the easiest jetliner to fly, the others like 747-8 and 787-10 are way too hardest to maintaining stable during flight (just in my opinion)

[@fedoraphill8599]

After 450 hours, The new A321 neo is pretty easy as well, the CTSL light plane is very easy. It just gets blown around alot. I use mods though to correct instability and enable autopilot.

Great video. Your channel is great!!

[@musoseven8218]

Interesting video👍😊 Since your earlier video have the flight characteristics (realism) improved since you first posted it? Eg do the taildraggers require lots of rudder/pedal work - as with the real thing?🤔🤔🤔

[@FlightSimSchool]

Yep, that’s partly why I decided to do a follow up video. In the first I’d recommended the Savage Cub because it was easy to fly but I’d underestimated the taildraggyness of it.

[@musoseven8218]

@@FlightSimSchool I've heard real world pilots say that the flight characteristics were better on MS FSX? Eg that in MSFS 2020 taildraggers were too easy (not enough rudder input required - unlike the real thing). Eg are there the stall spin characteristics on minimums base to finals etc (it was stated that there would be)?🤔🤔

5:00 forgetting to manually switch the fuel tank in the Bonanzas has killed me more than once.. love that plane.!

[@MP-zk7mm]

Would you say that, for someone just starting (clean slate), you'd advice to start at bush planes > prop > turboprops, picking the easiest in the category and then move to the hardest before moving to the next category? Could that be the proper way to have a gradual/smoother learning curve?

[@FlightSimSchool]

A few people have asked me that, and my suggestion is start with the C152, learn the basics of flying, and then if you want to fly something faster, jump to the TBM930, because it’s got top notch avionics, so you can learn instrument flying and how to handle a much faster plane. That’ll set you up well for then jumping to airliners if you want to. I have heard of some people going straight to airliners, but I think you’re losing some of the basics of flying by doing that.

@@FlightSimSchool Thank you for the quick reply. I'll do exactly that! I guess I'll be around your channel for a long time, from now on. Any playlist/video you'd recommend as a must see from your channel?

[@FlightSimSchool]

The beginners playlist should set you up nicely to practice with the 152, with the most important videos being landing and trim: kzbin.info/aero/PL6zBzRRsfGL9KlJh2wULDxNJsHMt7-Wq3

I'm pretty sure the Caravan is not pressurised. Neither is the Kodiak (payware). Both are turboprops.

[@FlightSimSchool]

True, but both have supplemental oxygen that can be used if you have to go above 10k (not stimulated in the caravan)

You didn't link managing another engine video

[@FlightSimSchool]

Thanks Rickie, I fixed it :)

[@rackum44]

@@FlightSimSchool I went looking through your videos and found it... Thanks

[@manwithanaccent4315]

Icon A5?

[@FlightSimSchool]

I considered including it, but decided to limit it to 'traditional' planes.

[@manwithanaccent4315]

@@FlightSimSchool = Fair enough. My first dozen flights were in the Icon, it's great. Slow but great. Right now I'm flying around the world in a TBM 930.

[@andrewbennett2582]

Great video. The TBM doesn't have the G3X though it is the G3000.

[@FlightSimSchool]

I always get the two confused…

[@andrewbennett2582]

@@FlightSimSchool Haha, no problem! Very easily done!!

[@Rod58]

great videos keep up the great work

[@Pilot_engineer_19]

Hi! Great video. I think you may have forgotten one of the easiest jets to fly. That would be the Cirrus sf50 vision. On another subject, the Garmin 1000 may be okay for game simulations but in reality it may be a pilot killer! More fatal accidents have occurred with this device. CIRRUS vision had to put in an extra set of controls and a parachute. Pilots have run into terrain, went into spins and never recovered. I have had it happen to me on a simulation at least three times. Don't hit the wrong button, or else! Actually, steam gauges are preferred my most pilots according to a recent poll. The indicated speed display as well as vertical speed issues were mentioned. If interested, you may want to read the accident reports, especially the one where one of the only pilots that survived had to pull the parachute to live.

[@BitwiseMobile]

The Club flies itself :). Literally. There is a video somewhere on KZbin that shows three Cubs tied up during a wind storm. Two of them broke away and started actually flying. The headwind was enough to cause lift and, sure enough, there it went flying! You are right, the only challenge is the tail dragger. That alone means a beginner probably shouldn't start out. Unless they just want to fly. Just start with the classic - Cessna 172. They have a glass cockpit as well. Beechcraft is a good intermediate. It's fast as hell. I flew from KSAN to KLAS in 1'30" :D I burned way too much fuel, but it was a blast with a 160mph ground speed. For the big boys A320 is the easiest. I wish they had the MD-80, because if you want a challenge that was the plane the fly in FS X. I was in a Delta Airlines VA and I was certified for the MD-80. The Mad Dog 80 is what we called it :D

As soon as true triple screen support comes out, this will be all I play. Until then, I am waiting

[@Gamova91]

much appreciated mate!

[@xtek465]

Thanks for this overview. Great information 👍

[@kokoeteantigha389]

Those cubs flip and flop about too much in winds that I marvel that anyone flies them in real life.

[@FlightSimSchool]

Agreed, they are definitely fair weather planes!

[@jendak2653]

Hey, I know that before, it was not in game, but what do you think about Pilatus pc-6?

[@FlightSimSchool]

I haven’t flown the default pc6 and can’t attest to its quality, but if you’re referring to the one from blackbird simulations then I have no doubt it’s a great product, they make excellent airplanes.

[@clarencesmith66]

Do have a video on PC6?

[@FlightSimSchool]

I haven't covered it, unfortunately.
