[@FishStakes]

Do people prefer the commercial planes, or are the smaller aircraft the best way to fly? Let us know!

[@gothikaspawn]

Smaller for a noob like me!

[@diegomendez5060]

Commercial

[@swtelfer1]

Commercial

[@DeanArnold1066]

Commercial all day.

[@DaveWebb]

I'm liking the smaller ones right now. Teaching me the basics before I move up to commercial airliners.

[@Airbusa350legit]

11 year old here flying an a320 neo here, it’s really good to fly and this tutorial helped me improve my taxi and startups.

[@FrankDaBank25]

You should stick with it. I didn't and I regret it.

[@Tangleslime]

Omg Same! 😂

[@davidhole8229]

Solid bloody tutorial for a 40 year old newb.... Last flight simulator I played on was the first one with just lines and no scenery haha,,, this has helped me enjoy this new game for me so much... Thankyou

[@FishStakes]

Glad you’re enjoying it!

[@GPTblacksmith]

Same buddy. I’m 44 and finally have a good enough rig to run this. Haven’t been on a sim in over 20 years. This is amazing

[@flyc3]

Ditto to all these comments. Never had an Xbox before but figured it was best to run this resource hungry sIm. Thanks so much for taking the time to do this.

[@boyermchristopher1]

Are you still enjoying? Bought the Xbox X just for this game. Been playing for a month or so. Getting good with the 320 neo. Cheers!!

[@boyermchristopher1]

Any recommendations for aftermarket commercial aircraft?

[@user-db1gn6gr6i]

A complete newbie, brought a XBOX and trust master Captain set up, watched your videos and now hooked. Not only do you explain very well, but the way you present and your voice is very easy on the ear, that you remember easy, well I do. Would love to see more of this type of video and maybe explaining other areas of the sim. Thank you very much and I have now SUBSCRIBED with pleasure.

[@archright388]

Wow, mate! I've just started enjoying MFS2020, and your videos are a helluva' lotta' help in different details! From this one, for example, I learnt about auto-throttle! I mean it, they are much more educative, than other guides on KZbin. Hats off to you!

[@chadmardis7196]

This is exactly the kind of tutorial I’ve been looking for. Well done and easy to understand. Subscribed

[@Scot-land]

Best tutorial on KZbin absolutely nothing even comes close to how in depth this tutorial is thank you so much

[@davidkent9845]

Your series of three videos relating to the A320 from startup to ILS landing are absolutely brilliant. Your narration is clear and concise and is done at such a speed it is easily followed and understood. Thank you for giving your time any more tuition videos relating to the A 320 would be very welcome. Your opinion on the new BOEING 737 would be greatly valued and maybe videos of the same level as these of the A320 would be very welcome. Thank you once again.

[@garybanting-lee6670]

Thank you for making something so complex easy to follow. Im enjoying flying again !!

[@jacquesa8923]

At last, someone dedicating a msfs tutorial for XBOX players. Thank you❗️🙏

[@ChristyKrohne]

I have MSFS 2020 on XBox Series X for almost a year now. Never flew a an Airbus/ Passenger Plane. Today might just be the day. Thank you for this video.

[@leptitroutier3150]

Thank you very much for this tutorial about the starting, taxi and taking-off of the A320 !

[@keegan8204]

Thank you so much for this. I’m new to msfs and I want to do realistic flights and this helped so much

[@kasimbregenhorn5087]

Mate. That was so clear and concise. Love the videos!

[@chriswilloughby5295]

Just wanted to say thanks for these tips and guided finally able to fly semi properly now, without markers and way points, figured out how to use the throttle and speed properly and now the auto pilot aswell,. These guides are the most straightforward ones I've seen, now my next step is learning all the controls from a cold start, and perfecting landing, also love the SIM speed thing you showed, I have it on X3 to stop the bouncing thing, but flew from Gibraltar to Gatwick and took the whole flight, I didn't know I could speed it up, so my next flight is going to be Gatwick to either Spain of Gibraltar again, then I mite do a long haul flight from Heathrow to Thailand via Abu Dhabi.

[@FishStakes]

The sim speed is great isn’t it! Really allows you to make the most of the world

[@redwatch_actual7]

I just installed flight sim earlier this week. This is awesome!!!

[@ashwinkoshti9991]

Mate this is a gem of a vid you have created for newbies like me, i've also watched your other vids and those too are top notch. Thank you so much for putting this out. +1 sub

[@FishStakes]

Thank you!

[@maxmacready]

Im trying to start getting into MSFS this really helped thanks

[@jcgaming9345]

Been looking for a msfs tutorial like this, thank you.👍

[@Thinky_Tom]

Really helpful video - I wanted to check that MSFS worked pretty much as it does on PC before buying - didn't want a casual game!

[@GG_Booboo]

Amazing explanation, you nailed it, the sim lady doesn't give you all these tips when taking off to prepare you for the sim-world flight!

[@nsauvan]

GREAT video. Thanks a lot, man. Really only hopped in the Airbus to get the startup achievement and the 300nm flight in an airliner but with how clear you made this vid I thoroughly enjoyed the start up procedure and take off. May get into the airliner thing after all! Now I just need to get a mouse instead of using my controller and joystick. Thanks!

[@FishStakes]

It’s more fun that it sounds for sure!

[@tamimazizi9877]

Had a smooth takeoff!, on my way to Copenhagen Kastrup Airport from Stockholm Arlanda Airport, will be checking out the video about landing before approaching airport!

[@rogerrees9845]

Great presentation...I'm 60+....Recently started.... Clearest description yet...Thank You....Roger...Pembrokeshire...

[@Saitam79]

Amazing tutorial.. so much to learn about aviation.. you're a fantastic instructor!

[@FishStakes]

Thank you!

[@philcripps1970]

I love the commercial planes. Much more of a challenge thanks.

[@dazzab81]

The attention to detail in this game is spot on but also makes it quite hard to get to know for a novice like me but this will definitely help me to enjoy flying around the world in this quite awesome game 🎮 😀 👍

[@jwandel]

Genuinely such a helpful and clear tutorial, thank you. One small mistake, at 13:00 you say that you want to lift the nose up at V1, but you actually want to do that at Vr. V1 is decision speed

[@FishStakes]

Thank you!

[@Gabriel-ez1we]

Great video! Thank you! I am trying to learn to play this game and this helps a lot!

[@hensleygarcia1623]

Hey man thanks for your help! it really helped me get to know the airbus flightdeck.

[@dilly406]

I installed MSFS 2020 recently due to it being on gamepass and just started to casually fly around in the discovery flights and that was it. I now know how to set up flight plans, take off and land with ILS and I’m currently exploring the world! Thanks to you.. Thank you so much FishStakes

[@FishStakes]

That’s great to hear!

[@1332fred]

Well done with this excellent tutorial. Thanks a bunch. I managed to create my own A320neo take off checklist from your clear instructions and I am carrying out my tasks so much better now, thanks to you. well done and keep up the great work. Just need to master my landings and create a checklist for that too from your other video tutorial. You had asked a question; commercial or small a/c preference. I have mostly been flying the msfs Cessna 172 for a year to get a good feel of flight & flying controls when I want slower speeds and checkout the wonderful sights. But when I feel naughty I jump into my F18 or MIG29 and joyride like I stole it through cities to cause mayhem. Last year I flew my 172 eastwards completely around the globe from Belfast to Belfast (UK), it took me three months stopping in over one hundred destinations. One tip I would give. Fly Westbound as Sun constantly in my eyes going easterly direction. Now that I am learning the Airbus A320neo, I have already started my second around the world voyage (this time Westwards) starting from Belfast City airport, Heathrow and I landed last night in Nantes, France on my way South soon towards near Cadiz. I want to journey from there as close a voyage of Ferdinan Megellan year 1519-1522, first explorers to circumnavigate the globe. should be so much quicker in the A320

[@mac-no4zd]

might be useful for your adventure

[@Peterfitsnicly]

Just starting at an airline which operates the Airbus, so this is certainly helping. Thank you

[@jenswaldram5955]

If your becoming an irl pilot don’t follow this. This is far from what a normal takeoff looks like

Hi James! I want to thank you so much for this great tutorial!!! Your FS videos are far better the best i found in yt i hope you continue to publish videos like this also about the next fs upgrade hat will release in 2 days for the 40th fs anniversary i will need it.Thx again! Best regards from Italy!

[@FishStakes]

Thanks man, I’ve had a short break but will be back soon with more videos like this!

[@TruckersRevenge]

Spot on, thankyou. Right, onto your next video.

[@RaffClydeFc]

Thanks a lot. I’m a total novice just this tutorial is excellent. When I put the throttle to FLX though at take off, I just veered to the right, so I shamelessly just used the D pad to take off. I must have spent about 2 hours and couldn’t get into the air 🤣

[@sezuin1756]

absolutely perfect lad, smashed it

[@lakshyasharma446]

Thank you so much for the help! It means alot! Im using this video to currelty fly from Qatar to turkey! Cheers man!

Perfect Instructions!!! Thanks a million!

[@weircottage]

Incredibly helpful, thank you.

[@VoicelessScream]

I've been playing the PC version for a little while and watched probably hours (granted without paying sustained attention) of tutorials for the A320 and never felt like I properly until now. Excellent, to the point tutorial. Covers all that's needed without stretching it overlong. Very much looking forward to the landing tutorial and the 747 ones. Thanks!

[@FishStakes]

Thanks so much! that means a lot

[@_rohitjoshi_]

That was perfect! Thanks alot! Can you also make videos to explain the function of each buttons in the aircraft, or on different emergency scenarios (how to handle them) in msfs

[@gothikaspawn]

Another great guide!

[@TrentLindsey]

Great video just wanted to correct that when doing startup procedures for engines even though this aircraft can support both engines starting it’s recommended to start up engine 2 then engine 1.

[@docholliday1811]

Awesome tutorial video. Thank you.

[@alexwray6173]

Great video. Cheers. You got almost a quarter million views from three vids. Maybe you should make more flight sim stuff?

[@lairdmacgaming]

Your tutorial is perfect. Nicely done, clear and concise. But it's a shame that Microsoft couldn't have gotten the autopilot to work. I set the Altitude, then turned on the Flight Director and got takeoff. After setting the throttle to "Climb" after reaching 200knts I set the AP on. Then I noticed that the Altitude that I had set to FL130 I then noticed that I was descending I quickly checked the Altitude and noticed that it had changed to 5000ft. After all these years I thought that they might have fixed the AP in this so-called sim. Now I can't wait to get a new HOTAS and go back flying on Xplane. Still your instruction will help me to transition from the Cessna to Jets like the Airbus.

[@zdp-189]

After a week of new Xbox SerX and MSFS, I decided to try a full trip w the Airbus. I LOL'ed when I got an achievement for starting it up, I felt like a dumb kid getting a sticker for finally getting an answer right. Now if I can just properly do the MCDU, flight plan, ILS landings and such...then I feel deserving of a dam sticker! Thanks for this vid man, it should make process much easier!

[@FishStakes]

Go get that Sticker!

[@mingmanfc6014]

Thank you so much! Now i got the basics down eh!? Thanks mate!

[@neilgraham4629]

What a tutorial… amazing! Easy to follow and am loving the game now due to you. Is their anyway you could do this exact type of video but for the Boeing 747 at all? Please

[@FishStakes]

Absolutely! We have an ILS Landing video coming out tomorrow as it has been quite heavily requested. But 747 startup is next on the list!

[@fiord9026]

Best guide anywhere. Period. Every word made sense. No filler or useless information. Can I ask, how are you managing to seamlessly “move” around the cockpit from FMS to upper A/P switches etc? I either have to use RB and Down to switch “views” and that is buggy as sometimes it won’t go to the next “view” or if I use my mouse it “jumps” around so fast from FMS to Throttle to Light Panel. It’s as though the mouse is over sensitive? Have you changed something in the settings?

[@FishStakes]

Just hold down LB and you can use the thumb sticks to move about freely. RT and LT will move you up and down 😁 And thank you very much for the praise!

[@63Bungo]

Check out Huddison's KZbin channel. He has a really good video on using and setting up shortcuts on the Xbox that move you around the cockpit. These really are game changers - although they are best executed using a keyboard.

We do! We have ILS videos for the A320 and the 747, just check the playlist!

The A320 is such an easy aircraft to learn how to fly. Its so simple and you only need to press a few buttons other then planes like the B777.
