How to fly the Cessna 172 - Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020

[@holdenm1400]

Where would you like me to fly next?!

[@rsharp36]

I wouldn't mind seeing a grass runway takeoff. MO24 near Craig, MO to KFNB in Falls City, NE. Your Cessna would fit the bill just perfect. Its a short, pleasant flight.

[@AroundSun]

Take a flight from KISP to KMTP along the southern shoreline of long island!

[@gymclassroom2546]

Margate in South Africa, it’s one of my favorite regional airports. FAMG is the code

[@friedchicken1]

my town? Naples Italy :D ? yay I promie you'll love the city

[@redstoyotarunnerwithstri-hp9gm]

so nice to see old-school stream gauge instead of G1000 all the time

[@holdenm1400]

I like the way you think!

[@redstoyotarunnerwithstri-hp9gm]

@@holdenm1400 haha, thanks! i mean, i got my PPL in steam gauge, so i forever love old-school lol

@@holdenm1400 how do you get steam gauge? I only see g1000

[@andyherle]

[@RocketAnthem]

AroundSun did you buy the deluxe edition? steam gauge only comes with Deluxe edition

[@CmdrEsteban]

To avoid dealing with those annoying ground crew pushback guys, always start your flight at the fuel box. They don’t appear at the fuel box of any airport, even when you engage the pushback from the fuel box.

[@aeonsleo2]

The most difficult to program is a human object coz he's so unpredictable

[@ronholfly]

When you get instructions from the tower to taxi to a certain stand when you get to the correct parking area you will see a ground crew member to guide you to the brakes on spot. Nice video, thanks.

[@DoCuOrange]

Couple suggestions for better landings: -Pitch for speed, power for altitude...you seem to switch it up there, ie. pulling out power to reduce speed and pitch for altitude... -Should be holding off touching the ground and hear the stall warning prior to the wheels touching the ground instead of plumping it down at 50 knots. -I personally don't like the hi-speed downwind (100+ knots) until abeam the numbers, I'd try and maintain max 85 knots when in the pattern.

[@michaelzaug8750]

Absolutely true pitch for speed power for altitude

[@EnvyWhiskers]

Bruh wtf I didn’t know this game was so accurate. I can actually practice for my ppl with this lol.

[@paddyj7690]

yes you can. I practiced a lot on flight sim (like start-up, approach etc.) Obviously it's still a whole lot different in the actual aircraft, but it does help with some things, especially procedures.

[@Ryan-Guerra]

@@paddyj7690 how is it a whole lot different from the actual plane? Switches or gauges not working? Flight characteristics?

[@paddyj7690]

@@Ryan-Guerra the actual feeling, and by that I don't mean how amazing flying is. Just simply feeling the airplane. You can become a master at recovering from a spin on FS, but in real life it's a whole other ballgame when you include the sensation of spinning towards mother earth. That's only one example. But as I said, you can practice a lot on FS. Having peripherals like yoke, throttle, flaps and rudder pedals for your PC also helps with practicing taxiing, taking off, landing etc. But again, being in a real plane will feel quite a bit different.

[@UnknownAI3]

Is not a game It's a SIM

[@Goldblasterblaze]

@@UnknownAI3 It is a game man. Every sim is. Not saying I hate this game or any other sim game.

[@nickbanas3102]

Just a tip, in the s models we don’t introduce the mixture before setting. We wait until the engine itself fires then we add the mixture.

[@jobdoneinc.4762]

its probably for sim reasons, in real life you can have your left hand on the magneto switch and push the mixture with your right hand, whereas in the sim you would have to quickly swing your mouse over which you cant always do fast enough for the engine not to stall

[@PappyGunn]

1. Take off 2. Trim it 3. take a nap. Just like the real one.

[@holdenm1400]

100%

[@aeonsleo2]

If the aircraft pre rotates the wheels at rpm comparable to the speed of aircraft then there be no wear on the tires due to landing. Also the air speed can be used to power the wheels.

[@ChimkenNuggers]

Do you have to get the deluxe edition for this 172? I want to practice on something I am familiar with, not the one with the new Garmin

[@holdenm1400]

Yes, you need the deluxe version

[@jeffrizzen9327]

Not to be critical but according the skyvector.. Runway 04R is Right hand pattern. you turned left across departing planes takingoff on 04L

[@FinnSlay2012]

Really the perfect vid for getting in the air

[@american-professor]

Hi from Denham! I'm waiting on my Valve Index set to start flying MSFS in virtual reality. I think you should try it too, people claim it's like real life

[@RichardThomas341]

Thank you for this. I'm curious, you have rudder pedals for the sim, right? I don't and have to control rudder from the keyboard. It's a pain, as the C172 (and C152) drift horribly to the left during takeoff attempts.

[@jsamms1051]

Wow awesome flying out of my hometown!

No way! Me too!

[@StefanSpirkoski-n9k]

I am struggling, i cannot find this version of C172 i only have G1000, but i want to fly it with G430 and basic instrument. Can you help me

[@malone628]

Question for anyone. Flying this plane in the cockpit view, I cannot see the runway over the dash. I’ve tried different things but nothing changes.

[@kokoeteantigha389]

Press the space bar. It will give you a slight elevated view over the nose.

[@peterfslife]

You know the small display that has the time and temperature? There is a way to turn on a yellow ish backlight. How is that done?

[@canconservative8976]

Nice... where did you get the 172 without the glass cockpit?? I’ve been looking for this!

[@holdenm1400]

The 172 with analog instruments is only available with the premium deluxe version of MSFS2020. Hope this helps!

[@canconservative8976]

@@holdenm1400 thanks, yes I see that now.... doesn’t make sense, aircraft should be sold individually as an option.

Very good flight sir. Thanks for sharing.

[@DriveBreakFixRepeat70]

I’m noticing on a lot of reviewers that use this pulled back view of the pilot seat, it gives a fisheye view outside the windshield when you look in the distance. It’s really noticeable when you’re turning..have you noticed this?

[@holdenm1400]

WhiteKnuckle6.2 Yes I have, it’s a built in feature of the game. I believe it’s called “Smart Cam”. Its used to keep the camera focus on a landmark, i.e. an airport or city landmark.

[@goontube74]

is this aircraft still available in 2020 I'm only able to access g1000's

[@blazewhitman589]

When I fly the 172 it has the g1000 but I don’t really like the g100 I love the classic look and I don’t know how to change it to this does anyone know how?

[@jaheemfingal7475]

Whenever i rotate my Cessna just bumps up and down no idea why, it’s not as smooth as your take off it’s always jumpy even when doing patterns

[@DrFillyBlunt]

If you're using a gamepad/xbox controller there is an issue in the game where it assigns the rudders to the triggers as on or off button presses, not axis like they should be. This can lead to very irratic yaw control if you hold consistent pressure yet the control seems like it intermittently spikes. As far as I know this isn't fixable and has to be addressed by microsoft. I've heard of a work around where you might be able to assign rudder control to the right stick since it's correctly programmed as an axis, but you'd have to figure out what to control your camera with. If you're talking about pitch or roll and you use a pad the game is configured by default with really high sensitivity for the left stick. Might consider turning it down.

[@jaheemfingal7475]

Dr.FillyBlunt I’m using the honeycomb yoke

[@DrFillyBlunt]

@@jaheemfingal7475 Have you tried assisted yoke?

[@jaheemfingal7475]

[@christianbucks5054]

What computer/pc do you use? I want to get this simulator, but I don’t know what computer/pc to buy

[@holdenm1400]

I bought my PC from Jetline Systems. I have the Gravity GTX, with a 2080ti graphics card. To run the sim, you do NOT need a computer this expensive. I’d reference the minimum requirements to run the sim, and gif rom there. I wouldn’t recommend getting the minimum, but getting a couple levels above the minimum specs would suffice if you’re on a budget

[@38Fanda]

[@regulator5521]

I got my PPL on the G1000 C172 and I’m trying to rent planes to fly but every 172 has the old school avionics panel. I’m trying to practice on that one for navigation before I actually rent but idk how to get that panel, the default for me is always the G1000. Anyone know how to change it?

I was into MSFS until I tried a short field landing. Pulling back the yoke for elevator braking below VR should not cause the a/c to wheelie. Crosswind t/o and landings will make the wings to slam into the runway. Totally unrealistic flight model.

The game seems to have missing or incorrect information on a lot of the checklists. I noticed by following the checklist exactly I can't get the 172 skyhawk started. It tells you to fully cut the mixture to start but if I put it to about 20% it will start. It took me forever to finally get the plane started.
