Microsoft Flight Simulator | Simbrief Navigraph | Tutorial

[@RMAG]

Great job explaining these topics on a high level overview. You mentioned that you liked to learn some things in the comments…. One of the things I wanted to point out for you is about what you said at 44:10 that “RNAV approaches usually don’t provide vertical information.” You can tell which RNAV approaches will or will not give you vertical guidance depending on the type of RNAV approach. If you look in the minimums section below the profile view at the bottom of the chart, if it has “LPV” or “LNAV/VNAV” you will have vertical guidance. LP or LNAV will not have vertical guidance. You had mentioned in your video that you did not know what MDA(H) was compared to DA(H). This also comes into play determining an approach with vertical guidance versus one without. DA(H) is the minimum “Decision Altitude (Height)” for an approach that has vertical guidance, where you need to land or go missed approach when you meet this altitude. A MDA(H) is a “Minimum Descent Altitude (Height)” that you descend to on an approach without vertical guidance. This applies to both RNAV approaches like LNAV, as well as ILS/LOC approaches when the glide slope is out. You are using the Localizer only and descending to a MDA(H) as opposed to a DA(H) when the glide slope is available. It is usually higher than a DA(H), and you may be flying at the MDA(H) for a little while before you see the runway in a real IFR approach. With an MDA(H) you go missed approach once you hit the MAP (Missed Approach Point) designated by the “M” on the profile view of the approach chart. Google Search “Types of RNAV approaches” for more info.

Great tutorial. Thanx a lot 🙏

[@mikelewin1200]

Brilliantly done.. ! I VERY rarely sit through a 50min YT video, but this was well worth the view, learned heaps too

[@foolerysworld3324]

I'm late to the party but just found this tutorial and just wanted to say this it is fantastic! So helpful for a novice like me. Thanks for sharing it!

[@mrpleasurehead]

This is really helpful. Thank you very much for taking the time to help.

[@dustinpotter2035]

In your ofp setup in simbrief the reason you always have extra fuel is because you have reserve fuel of 30 minutes selected on the right side in selections. In the real world, under an IFR flight plan, you would need 45 minutes of reserve fuel. This is to plan for bad weather or a problem at your destination, where you would need to fly to an alternate, shoot an approach, and then still have enough fuel to fly for 45 minutes.

My attention span diminishes on a video tutorial within first 15 minutes. However, you kept it going without dragging over a point and kept moving with information or honest IDK. Would love to see more of your videos. Thanks a ton

[@OverkillSimulations]

Glad it was helpful!

Big-time help, thanks a million for a wonderful tutorial.

[@conlethbyrne4809]

I think I may need a bigger PC & I will be watching this once or twice more but great work on the video, content & narration. Great Stuff as I know it can get more complicated. OMG lol Thanks, man.

[@snatcher9919]

Learnt so much, thankyou, im 54 just learning flight sim the tutorial was fantastic, I now follow, cheers Snatcher

[@skadvani]

You are fantastic, a great tutorial, would love to see more

[@rscott618]

Runway 8 is not far because you were looking at a zoomed inset with concourse B.

[@PatrickBijvoet]

You are having fun! Waypoint Saucc part of Barbeque 3 just before waypoint Barbeque 😂 Anyway, a real good explanation which made some things clear. Thanks from The Netherlands.

[@Adventure494]

Thank you so much for the excellent explanation! Just subbed navigraph and this tut explains it all…cheers!

[@OverkillSimulations]

Thank you very much for the sub! I'm glad you found it useful!

[@hengst]

Great tutorial and very well done. Love navigraph could not be without it.

[@donc9751]

Hi Overkill, new to your channel but really liking it! I just upgraded from a Rift S, to the HP G2. I really need to learn how to use these tools like navigraph, and sim brief! I've been aware of them for quite awhile but just recently was able to get back to simming after a long break. On to the video now!

[@ramis4594]

Very helpful tutorial, thank you!

[@texasvirgo1]

Excellent video. Thanks for your hard work. You did a wonderful job explaining Simbrief and Navigraph.

[@kevincusack5671]

Your taxi review missed the fact that the terminals are shown twice: in the overall scale, and the larger view which is more of a close-up.

[@MrVilla2000]

I was also puzzled by that fact. Normally Overkill gives great tutorials and then he misses out on a basic fact like that. Well...Everyone can have a bad day:)

[@djbq]

Great Tutorial 👍

[@Razorback68]

Thanks for the very informative video!! Just one area you didn't go over was as too how you import the Simbrief FP into the Navigraph charts. Thanks again

[@JimEstep12071]

STAR's are usually named for something the area you are flying to is famous for or is known for..Memphis...BBQ, San Diego-zoo, etc. Rnav also controls you vertically as does the ILS. only on a Glidepath, not glideslope, but it is the same thing

[@OverkillSimulations]

Makes sense!

[@JimEstep12071]

I think

[@heinzahne602]

To my understanding STAR means Standard Instrument Arrival and is a fix defined approach route

[@JimEstep12071]

@@heinzahne602 Yes, you are right

[@OverkillSimulations]

@@heinzahne602 standard terminal arrival route. It is used to get an aircraft to the approach.

[@jamilanderson3327]

Stupid question. Why is there a RNAV X, RNAV Y, RNAV Z, ILS Y AND ILS Z or VOR in the approach plates.

[@rob0085]

Very informative tutorial. What do you do when your approach and arrival don't connect but have a dotted line? The plane won't follow the dotted line on autopilot. I am trying to land at KMCO with a GRINCH4 arrival to ILS36R with the transition TRAMP. Between GRINCH4 and TRAMP is a dotted line. How do you connect in the FMC? Thanks

[@ixoye56]

I open World Map in game and make a simple GPS route in between departure and arrival airport i like to fly, then the game will tell me which active runways it will use, then I start to create my flight plan outside the sim and setup my plan in FMS or Garmin when I'm in the game.

[@salehalkenani3720]

A great tutorial Captain, but we need how to get the minimums value from the chart for ILS Rwy then input that in FMC OR MCDU of the plane ..

[@tiptop641]

Great t torial you say about Cat 1 and Cat 2 but you don't mention how you would pick the minimums needed for the ILS once again thanks for the tutorial I Iearned quite a bit on how to read the route

[@Tommyflies]

You're awesome dude.

[@antuan734]

We have to have a paid subscription to use this in FSX? Watched this for 18 minutes only to hear this.

[@norbertwenkel9139]

Just a quick note, you can import your simbrief flightplan directly into Navigraph charts for setting it up finally

[@gcaussie1]

Im looking for that answer. Would you mind guiding me to it pleaase?

Hi Could you please let me know if XboxX or a desktop with Ryzen7/RTX3070 would give better 4K ultra graphic's on MSFS2020

[@airbluex79]

Ok flybywire airbus mod now in Microsoft flight simulator, anything we sure know in reference to your guide like of the mod you use.

[@airbluex79]

Sorry this question was for Overkill it about the guide the he put together for airbus. In the guide he couple mod to download for airbus. Just trying to see if any change due arrive of flybywire airbus in Microsoft flight simulator marketplace.

[@steveflynn9279]

Thanks for the great tutorial. I am looking to subscribe to Navigraph. One question I have is when I subscribe and login will it automatically update my MSFS database with the latest Airac data or do I need to do something specific. Also does the 28 day update cycle happen automatically or??? Thanks, Steve

fantastic video i think you just sold me on navigraph. quick question i know you covered it before but cant find the video how do you get the A32NX by flybywire airframe in simbrief
