I got my South African PPL nearly 2yrs ago and your videos were an important resource. I know for sure you will sail through your training. Good luck and enjoy.

[@Doofer911]

I'm glad my videos could help

[@SteeringWheelOperator]

That was fun, thanks for taking us along for the ride!

[@Doofer911]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@billymkirkwood4956]

Joss I can honestly see you obtaining yr PPL then hopefully into your IMC and night rating.. once you have those under your belt yr well on your way to becoming an instructor. Looking forward to watching more of these buddy. Its been 8 years since I last flew just before my daughter was born... damm I do miss it.

[@Doofer911]

That's the plan, not sure if I'lll be able to go for the IMC and Night Rating because of my colour vision but I can become an instructor without getting those ratings. Hopefully you'll get an opportunity to get back up in the air soon!

[@billymkirkwood4956]

@@Doofer911 be nice mate.. yeah forgot about the colour blindness Joss.. I can see you being an instructor tho and a brilliant one.. mark my words.. you could and have the ability to teach people to fly mate x

[@waleedsiddiqui4394]

Now doofer I think u have reached a whole new amazing level with these videos. LIKE ACTUALLY UR VIDS RLY RLY HELP THXXXXXX

[@Doofer911]

I try my best to make each one a little better than the last!

[@robbiepilot]

Brilliant you're on your way! Will soak up as much as you can show. Your underlying teaching ethos and ability is awsome. Wow!

[@Doofer911]

Thank you for the kind comment! Will try my best to "teach" something or give some insight with every video.

[@harsh.sharma]

Excited!! I have been with doofer for almost half a year... Learning FSX...

[@Doofer911]

Thank you! Glad my videos could help with learning the hobby :D

[@bigcat2501]

Congratulations! You're extremely knowledgeable you're going to do great

[@Doofer911]

I hope so!

[@flankerskioneniner4290]

I've been watching your content since 2016, now you're transition from virtual to reality. Congratulation bro. Hope i can be just like you, wish me luck & lets Go Ahead!!

[@Doofer911]

Good luck buddy! It's hard work but you'll get the result in the end :)

[@flankerskioneniner4290]

@@Doofer911 Yup, thanks mate, thank you very much for all your great contents. You are my 2nd virtual flight instructor after the FSX learning center flight instructor. I forgot his name, Rob i guess. Now i'm flying with the X-plane as a virtual fighter pilot and sometimes as a virtual bush aviator as well. Hehe. I wish you best luck buddy, and become a real pilot (commercial pilot) and even a real flight instructor. Next year, wish me luck, i will go join the air force. See you in the real sky, Buddy ;)

[@KyleD237]

So glad you got started!

[@Doofer911]

Yeah it's been an exercise in determination but definitely worth it!

[@sahas01]

I'm watching your 737 tutorial playlist everyday. The way you explain things is just amazing!! Awesome stuff!

[@Doofer911]

Thank you, I try my best!

[@sahas01]

@@Doofer911 Will you be doing a dedicated tutorial series for the pmdg 747 as well?

[@Doofer911]

@@sahas01 Yep, I'm working on 777 tutorials at the moment and I intend on going on to 747 tutorials after that. Please be patient though because the videos require a huge amount of studying, planning and scripting before I even go near the "Record" button. Not to mention all the work after recording!

[@sahas01]

@@Doofer911 okay mate. I can understand the work you put behind the scenes. Oh and by the way, looking forward to the pmdg 777 series

[@russianpenguins]

Best of luck with the flying, I probably heard you in the tower at one point! Leigh is a great guy and a quality instructor. Flew with him about seven years ago!

[@Doofer911]

Possibly! I did a fair bit of solo work in the circuit September/October time last year. Leigh is a great instructor, very concise with the way he teaches.

[@theeyebrowguy2438]

Awesome vid mate rlly interesting to see hopefully one day ill start learning 👍🏻

[@Doofer911]

Make sure you set it as a goal and keep doing a little bit every day to get towards it :)

Oh I missed a trick there! haha

[@netraxer9729]

Welcome back Joss. BTW, good job.

[@Doofer911]

Thanks very much :)

[@dukeminecrafter6659]

Bit late to this video but it is great keep it up

[@Doofer911]

Thanks, will do!

[@axlsys]

Hi, thanks for another great video. What plane are you flying?

[@Doofer911]

This is a PA38 Piper Tomahawk

[@axlsys]

@@Doofer911 thanks

[@Boxbearer]

Hi Joss, just wonder if (your) flightsimming experience is in the way when learning or if it aides you during training?

[@Doofer911]

Definitely, I'd say that simming has given me a fantastic foundation of knowledge to begin building real world experience onto. However there's habits you can only really learn flying for real, such as the "scan" I talked about in this video.

[@Boxbearer]

Doofer911 ok, going to start with your tutorials, I find them very informative, and maybe, one day I’ll make the same step you do, thx for your work put into your tutorials 👍🏻👋🏻

[@Doofer911]

I got incredibly lucky and got a job at my local flying school and my overtime there pays for my training. So the other component I would recommend is to start thinking about how you're going to pay for flight training as well. Also, I'm not sure where in the world you are but try to pick up some PPL theory books and start learning those books. They will teach you about aviation in so much more detail than my videos and when you're ready to start training, you'll be ready to sit the theory exams straight away.

[@Boxbearer]

Doofer911 I’m in Sweden 😁, and pushing to 60 soon, so maybe when I retire 😃

Dude, what GPU are you running to get these graphics!

That is the beta build of Microsoft flight sim 2020! Lol.
