Intro To Throttle, Propeller & Mixture Controls | MSFS Tutorial

[@Sebastopolmark]

Very well done. It's nice to have a resource that we can come to and refersh our "skills". Thanks! !! !!!

[@stevek.9424]

Good video. I'm backwards, and have flown mostly jets, but now getting into props, specifically the Bonanza (variable prop) and SR22 (constant prop). For the former, I sort of figured out on my own how to adjust all three levers, but this video solidified it. Thanks!

[@FlightSimSchool]

Props are a ton of fun once you get into the more complex ones. I’ve got a video coming out in a few weeks on the Blacksquare Bonanza that covers a ton of details on flying it.

[@flybeeson7950]

Excellent video and very useful. I’ve not seen the use of throttle , prop and mixture explained so clearly before.

[@mattm.1274]

Your videos are all so helpful. Seriously- Thank you. Really enjoyable to watch too!

[@FlightSimSchool]

It's always nice to hear, thank you!

[@juankaramirez]

I just found your channel and I'm loving the content! I usually fly airliners and now I'm doing more GA flying, and your videos are great. The lent is great, to the point but not too short or long. New subscriber here!

[@FlightSimSchool]

That's always nice to hear, thank you :)

[@skippychurch2965]

Came back to this video after liking it a while back. My memory is so bad i forgot the details therein, so here I am again. Lol Thanks so much.

[@FlightSimSchool]

I often forget some of the details myself!

[@diegoplata5570]

thanks. it really helps. keep doing more videos.

[@Jason-fp7vi]

Great video, thanks a lot. By the way are you from Quebec, or maybe the Maritimes? I am from Ontario

[@FlightSimSchool]

Yep from Montreal, the accent always finds a way through no matter how hard I try 😛

[@Jason-fp7vi]

@@FlightSimSchool haha no problem! I just like guessing if other people are from Canada too 😉. All your videos have been really helpful

[@trevorbarber7172]

hi their. just thought id ask ,problem with the mix lever ,when you push it it doesnt do anything until the lever gets past half way and then you have too stop it by bringing the lever back down too where want it too stop, erm it didnt do that before,before it used too act like push too 3/4s and when it got too 3/4s it would stop,somethins not right but i dont know what it is,ta for listening....awe yeh my flight stick is a gladiator nxt right hand....

[@FlightSimSchool]

I'd start by checking the binding in the controls, and then check the sensitivity curve on it. Hope that helps!

[@trevorbarber7172]

@@FlightSimSchool thanks for the reply ill have a go at it ....

[@trippeads]

@flight sim school whenever I move my mouse on key pad or just a regular mouse it cuts back my throttle so you know how to fix this problem?

[@FlightSimSchool]

It sounds like there is a bindings issue. I’d start by going into controls and then switching back to the default preset for the mouse and keyboard and see if it still happens

[@BtcSimmer]

Thank you

[@roryj0505]

Have you ever flown any aircraft? Your giving dangerous advise.

[@FlightSimSchool]

As the title of the video says, it’s for Microsoft Flight Sim, NOT real world instruction.

[@20turbo]

You have a talent for teaching. I'm a few weeks into flight sims and gotten somewhat comfortable with the basic flying mechanics. I'm using the Logitech yoke and throttle quadrant and was wondering what the other levers are for. You managed to explain not just what they do, but what they are for and when they should be used. Good job!

[@en0n126]

This is very good and comprehensive. The only thing I can think of that I do in addition to this is adjust Throttle & Prop for Cruise Climb (Vcc) after climbing above 1000ft AGL after takeoff provided there are no obstacles like mountains I need to clear. This isn't really that necessary, but reduces trip time and fuel consumption. Vcc speeds/settings will vary by aircraft, and may even be a range of options. It'll be outlined in the plane's POH.

[@AlasdairMacG]

Very enjoyable and informative - many thanks. Regards, A

[@necrophage12]

Not to be bothersome, but do you happen to have a link to a list of power settings (especially cruise) for various aircraft in the sim? Possibly a google drive link or something similar?

[@RydalS]

Look up "pilot operating handbook" for the particular aircraft you want.

[@necrophage12]

@@RydalS I have but some don't give the MP or RPM and rather just gives a % of Power, idk how I am supposed to know what RPM and MP creates that %?

[@FlightSimSchool]

I've given myself a little bit of homework to put my lists into a shareable format. I'll let you know once they're available.

[@paulphibbs7162]

If landing at a high alt airport you would keep your mixture appropriate. This was good info thanks.

[@barthandelus8340]

Great video, always wondered this! Makes sense now. Subscibed! :)

[@dustintravis8791]

Buy yourself a beer for me, great informational video.

[@BtcSimmer]

Thanks!

[@jlang66]

Can’t find anyone covering the hud throttle! A lot of movement doesn’t make sense to me

[@FlightSimSchool]

Hey John, I tried it really quickly and it seems to work ok for me. What problem are you running into?

[@theAboodNet]

which airport did he take off from?

[@FlightSimSchool]

It’s Gold Coast airport, YBCG

[@theAboodNet]

@@FlightSimSchool Thanks.

[@LordBagdanoff]

Does the throttle control air or fuel?

[@FlightSimSchool]

The throttle says how much fuel can be sent to the engine. The mixture has final say on how much of that actually gets through though.

[@Glicksman1]

Where is the manifold pressure gauge?

[@FlightSimSchool]

It's on the multi-function display, it'll either say MP or Man In, in the top left of the screen.

[@Glicksman1]

@@FlightSimSchool Is it displayed in all piston aircraft?

[@karahisarli]

hey, bought a xbox for myself and started to play the sim directly, can I learn if you are using a yoke or a stick, if yes which brand? Just checked but couldnt find a related video about that. Thank you!

[@FlightSimSchool]

I have tca Airbus side stick with the throttle pack. I play on pc though, I don’t think it’s Xbox compatible

[@karahisarli]

@@FlightSimSchool thank you!

[@NickWindham]

@@karahisarli what did you end up getting? I’m looking too. At $200 the Thrustmaster Hotas stick, throttle and pedal combo looks like the best combo of value and good reviews for the Xbox currently. Thoughts?

[@karahisarli]

@@NickWindham Hi, i have ended up with a piano :)) didnt turn XBox on for the last 2 months :P but thrustmaster is the only viable one I could found. Turtle Beach VelocityOne Flight Universelles Steuerungssystem für Xbox Series X|S und Xbox One | Windows 10/11 looks also nice with a price of 290$

[@NickWindham]

@@karahisarli 😂 that works too. 😀
