Essential G1000 Autopilot Modes for MSFS & MSFS2024

[@jolakkai]

Absolutely fantastic, Mark. Thank you, seriously, for not explaining it arrogantly or like we're dumb! (I'm shocked at how many creators do that...) Honestly, you're helping me stay motivated and knowledgeable about getting into flight school someday, and I'm very grateful for your FANTASTIC videos.

[@FlightSimSchool]

Thanks for saying that, it's always tricky to find the right balance of just enough detail vs not enough.

[@SQTierHog]

Agreed

[@MateusdeSouzaSantos]

I've been searching for a few das now a tutorial video that was simples enough for someone like me who is just getting started in the flghtsim world. Now i can rest. Thank you so much, keep on the excelent work!

[@FlightSimSchool]

Always happy to help newcomers getting into simming :)

[@PatrickFassler]

Really appreciate how well this video was put together. Thank you for explaining everything clearly!

[@christianwilhite83]

One of the best intros to the G1000 I've seen! Great for a newb like me!

[@rodbryant1928]

Very clear video. Thanks

[@Zacky531]

As always a very good and clear explanation. Happy New Year !!!

[@FlightSimSchool]

Happy New Year to you too!

[@matthewkerner3975]

INCREDIBLE explanation. Clear, concise, and well-shot. Subscribed and thank you!

[@FlightSimSchool]

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for the sub :)

[@tubeztoonz]

Excellent! Easy to follow and understand. Just right! Thanks!

[@cowboy49107]

Thank you, right to the point with the right amount of info. Happy New year!

[@CheffreyGriffin]

Absolutely incredible, this video filled in all the blanks for me. I was definitely in a situation of not knowing what I don't know. There are lots of tutorials on a specific method of using autopilot but this was incredibly helpful to just lay it all out. I'm new to flight Sim and people like you make it such a great hobby and community

[@FlightSimSchool]

Thanks for saying that, welcome to the flight sim community :) There’s always more to learn, but it’s a ton of fun!

[@curtwerline]

Phenomenal video! Perfect pace,perfect length and perfect content. Great work!

[@FlightSimSchool]

Thanks for saying that, it’s always tricky to find the right pace and level of depth :)

[@robertbennett6410]

what a great video carefully explaining things that have me confused in MSFS2024. Thank you for your excellent work here sir

[@FlightSimSchool]

Thanks for the kind words, much appreciated

[@SkyFox60]

Thanks for this great video on the G1000 Autopilot. I did not really understand FLC before. Now I do. Also didn't know about the heading bug set shortcut by clicking the top of the heading button. I'm heading over to check out your other videos on G1000 navigation and approaches.

[@FlightSimSchool]

Glad you found it useful :)

[@zheltovsky]

Excellent video, thank you ! It will help me using all the functions better.

[@Shoniforce]

thats what i call good teaching lol. ty

[@FlightSimSchool]

Thanks for watching, glad you found it helpful

[@donfrith3164]

Very, very good instruction. Thank you!

[@FlightSimSchool]

Appreciate that, thanks :)

[@ruf01au]

great content - thanks heaps for this

[@adamluke1289]

Love your tutorials!

[@skyriderfl2435]

Awesome video sir. Thanks very much. I am newbie. Subscribed!!

[@jay-rus4437]

Im really working on learning the g1000 just for the reasons you stated at the opening. Its in so many aircraft, so seems like a good system to become comfortable with

[@FlightSimSchool]

It’s nice because you can switch from one to the other easily, but I do still like a good ol’ set of regular instruments as well. I guess that’s telling my age haha

[@jay-rus4437]

Same…one of my favorite GA aircraft is the Black Square TBM 850. Unfortunately there is still no sound fix for 2024. I dont have 2020 installed anymore, so no access to sound file.

[@FlightSimSchool]

@@jay-rus4437 I haven't uninstalled 2020 yet, there's still too many of my addons that I still like to fly that haven't been ported yet (mostly the 777 and 737, but also the Black Square planes)

[@Nuschler22]

Good job, thank you!

[@jomckarth4836]

bro thats great, thanks!

[@acn-70]

Thank you. Regards.

[@stevespessard2306]

Great videos - very helpful. I'm trying to use MSFS '24 to practice instrument approaches for my IFR check ride at the end of this month. I haven't bought any peripherals as i was hoping to just auto pilot for practice. however, because i don't have a yoke or stick, i crash the plane every time upon take off. Is there a way to start the sim in the air so i can just concentrate on the approaches? Thanks!

[@FlightSimSchool]

I think your best option would be to pick up a very basic stick, like the Logitech (it’s less than $50 depending on where you live). There are some ways to make it start mid-air (click on the world map anywhere) but you’ll have issues for sure.

[@MetalGamer666]

How do you adjust the speed after activating FLC in the Cessna 208 Caravan?

[@Brandon-zu3tw]

Hey Mark can you do a video on some of the other auto pilots like the dhc-2s model?

[@Dizzy_Jugglerz]

I have been struggling so much with AP and now I finally understand how to use it on purpose! 😁 Thanks Mark. A new problem I'm having: when I turn off AP, the speed tape gets stuck at whatever speed I was travelling at. Makes landing incredibly difficult not knowing what my speed is. Any tips on how to fix this? Also, do I detect a very, very slight French-Canadian accent?

[@Dizzy_Jugglerz]

I just figured out the Airspeed indicator problem...turning on PITOT HEAT seemed to fix it. 😇

[@FlightSimSchool]

that would do it hehe, yep from Montreal

[@Dizzy_Jugglerz]

@@FlightSimSchool Montreal is such a great city

[@THE-REVENGER]

hello. love your how to tutorials so please could you make a tutorial for how to do a hold pattern in an a320 please.

[@danielwiese7610]

When engaging NAV mode when I’m off of the gps path my plane will very aggressively turn to the path, overshoot a lot and the turns aggressively back to the course. I don’t remember 2020 behaving this way. I don’t know if this behavior is correct or a bug or if I have a setting incorrect.

[@FlightSimSchool]

I noticed it tends to hunt for the course as well, it's why I recommended using HDG mode to get close to back on course first.

[@SQTierHog]

Just gotta add my +1 , along with everyone else.
