I'm totally blind, and have been really interested in this simulator, it's sounds and so on. Most of the videos I find have been just people playing without any dialog, so basically useless to me. You have done an absolutely amazing job on a level with audio-description on TV which I rely on when I listen to programs, so I feel like I'm really getting an understanding of your thoughts whilst you’re flying. Stunning job. I for one, sincerely appreciate you talking through so much of the flight experience. Best video I've come across so far, without a shred of a doubt. Thank you for going that extra mile.

Greg Beetham Yours is one of the more insightful and sensible replies so I’m happy to follow up here. Firstly I’d say check my channel out to see what I do. I type just like anyone else. I read by listening, and interact with the world by sound, instead of by sight. Not having working eyes of course doesn’t mean that I can’t use a computer, a phone, make a cup of tea etc. Anyway, this is far beyond the scope of this poor guys’ youtube video, feel free to look me up further if you’re curious. I don’t want to take up the entirety of the comments here, as it seems quite rude. Thanks for your thoughtfulness in replying with a meaningful question.

Maybe. This _could_ also be intentional. Movies back in the 80s and 90s that were about modern military stuff frequently used incorrect rank pins/markings on military uniforms. The idea was to confuse 'them damn commies' about what any given insignias meant. Of course they already knew, but that was the intent. MS could be doing something similar here. They may be making it 'close enough' to be realistic and enjoyable, but not dead on for the real thing. Remember that right after the events of 9/11 MS took a lot of heat because there was speculation that MS FlightSim was one of the tools that the terrorists used for training. So the thing here _might_ be to not make it real enough that someone with a few hundred hours of FS2020 could steal an airliner.

I'll have to say, this was a *VERY* comprehensive overview of the functions that are available, in this essentially brand-new flight sim!

I noticed in X-plane 11, you seem to get a lot more audio feedback (unless you just had the volume turned down on MSFS 2020). I currently have FSX and the difference in the visuals alone is amazing.

Yep i was looking at my altimeter and the bottom number confirmed ATC 29.92 inches.

[@mayurchavhan8590]

As soon as i starts to hear him, Instantly i got strapped on my chair.

[@ZarlockGE]

I’m quite amazed at the undulations of that runway. Not sure if they are exactly according to the actual thing, but that appears much more realistic than the flat runways of the past.

[@obro8709]

I fastened my seat belt during this video...

[@jackjones298]

Well we're not taking off until you put your phone in Airplane mode as well.

[@DinkyDoos]

It's amazing how far the Sim has come since you did this

[@WaffeHo]

I've been watching way to much AirForceProud - When he rotated, I expected him to say "Ro -Tait- toe" or something along those lines

[@Tuxfanturnip]

copy that, BEAR FORCE TWO, would you like a coffee with that

[@createdbyeric]

I scrolled down a bit and didn't see anyone actually answer your question about how to get a wing view so apologizes if you already figured it out. Camera > Showcase > and then down at the bottom will be two menus; Free Camera and Fixed Camera. Under fixed camera, External 1,2, 3, 5, 8, 9 give you good exterior shots of the wings/engines. External 11, 12 give you interior shots of the wing and engine.

[@320SimPilot]

Thank you, yes I have found this now and just need to get it assigned to a shortcut! Thanks for watching.

[@Jetsim320]

Pitch is way too sensitive indeed

[@EmeryOP]

You can change sensitivities in the settings! I recommend watching Squirrels tutorials

[@Wintran]

There should be a settings guide that will help you get the sensitivity set up as realistic as possible.

[@DeepBass75]

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Great job

[@tomstravels520]

That engine ECAM page (with the line) I’ve seen on some older simulator videos of A320

[@320SimPilot]

It looks similar to the older CRT style screens but is not correct quite.

[@damianketcham]

I was lying in bed watching this video and the flight stewardess came and slapped me in the back of the head and told me to turn the light off and go to bed. Must be a trans Atlantic flight.

[@gofres]

I'm glad he's confused by the auto pilot. I thought I was being a total idiot. Can't get the alt AP to change mid flight. It will only follow my first input.

[@cybtb]

Thankyou so much for taking us through so many features. Please make more!

[@bunglerat]

As a Flight Sim newbie & fellow real world Airbus pilot (in my case, A330), I've been very keen to get my hands on this. First impressions: the visuals are stunning without a doubt. In fact, on just about every level it seems to be a huge achievement, except in the one that matters most: aircraft realism. Maybe I'm just expecting too much, but when MS & Asobo made such a big deal about collaboration with real world aircraft manufacturers, for me the reality has not lived up to the expectation. Too little functionality & totally unrealistic flight performance. As has been mentioned elsewhere, I'll be eagerly waiting for 3rd party developers (e.g. Aerosoft) to offer much better & more realistic aircraft add-ons. Until then, this is nice to look at, but definitely not a serious flight sim.

[@lovejetfuel4071]

I feel like the runway markings and the runways overall need to be Rough up abit. Most of the airports I have landed at have that dirty worn look. Xplane runways look more like the real thing. FS2020 need to get the runways and taxiways correct.

[@The13lacabyss]

I have so much more respect for pilots having to know how all the buttons/switches work

[@bertoverweel6588]

I wait until my PMDG and Aerosoft addons can be working on FS2020 . The scenery is fantastic but the aircraft is not .

[@trouty7947]

Wing view is one of the external cameras. Dont know the short cut but if you go camera in the top menu than at the bottom of the list should be fixed camera and one of those is wing view.

[@EbenPajanconi]

I feel like I'm ready for takeoff after listening to him.

[@ajnaguy]

Looking forward to learning from a real 'driver' - just watching you go through the procedures and listening to your descriptions of the equipment and functions is already helpful. And of course as someone who has just hauled one into the air in sim and tried to land it twice with no assists, no skill, and no clue (still, I'm 1-for-2, so maybe I DO have luck...), I will take all the useful help I can get! Really enjoyed this video!

[@TK199999]

I have already heard the best review from a real commercial airline pilot for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. I didn't like it, I felt like I was at work. ;p

[@PistolPackingPilot]

Such subtle differences. For example, on takeoff we go side stick full forward, and then slowly return to normal at 80 knots.

[@pavelkostrov1617]

Hi, cpt. Thanks for video. As I decided I will be with XP11 until study level airbus appears in MSFS2020.

[@320SimPilot]

Hi Pavel, that sounds like a very sensible decision! I will be back in X Plane 11 soon for more Airbus flights as well as some more experimenting in MSFS2020. Thanks for watching!

[@awkwardlycast5801]

Earth is flat and stationary. The fact that planes fly straight and level proves we live on a level plane. The truth is simple. Lies are complex. Education is indoctrination.

[@Captain_Frank_Abagnale]

Awkwardly Cast .... I hope this is satire

[@awkwardlycast5801]

@@Captain_Frank_Abagnale Very serious. I'm an aerospace engineer and private pilot supporting the fact the earth is flat and stationary.

[@FaithFox]

@@awkwardlycast5801 okay, so fly to the end of the world some time. Or explain why you can fly to other countries from east or west. Or explain why the earth's end isnt common lore featured as foundational knowledge like its roundness is. It hasnt nothing to do with education. It has everything to do with common sense, for one very simple reason: if something is true, its observable. If its observable, people will agree on it. If people agree on it, it will be used to communicate other things, like how we land rockets, or how we orbit the sun, or how the earth's magnetic poles work. THOSE are education. Do you mean to dismiss the science of a rocket orbiting the earth, if education is indoctrination? Or explain how a compass works if the earth doesnt have poles? There is one last thing I can say to make sure your argument is COMPLETELY demolished. We both agree truth is observable. That is why you claim a level flying aircraft is evidence for a flat earth. So then show me when humanity has observed the earth is infinitely flat, or has observed the ends of the earth. Last time I checked, the rest of humanity has observed earth from space. I eagerly await your reply. So that I can ignore it. I have nothing else I could argue. Stupid does as stupid does.

[@boogermother5000]

To get a wing view you pick showcase and it’s the bottom drop down for quick view I think it’s called. Number 13 and 12
