Flight Simulator 2020 Basic Tutorial | Q400 Captain Explains FS2020 | Start + Checklists & A Flight!

[@johnnypenso9574]

Thanks for the video Emilie. My Dad took up both computers and flight sims in his 80s. He didn't even know the keys on his keyboard he was that green. I remember him creating huge manuals in binders, going through checklists, flight plans, interacting with the tower etc. as best he could in FSX. Every day he would make a flight after breakfast for a couple of hours. Sadly he passed away in 2017, still flight simming at 88. He would have been over the moon with this version of MSFlight so it's kind of bittersweet for me. I'll pick it up and do some flying in his memory.

[@fhmsyndicate5388]

I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad, I was a mad FS pilot too, so much so I bought every MSFS on the market. I gave it up later because Windows updated and FSX would no longer work on my pc.(And my controller broke). I'm now looking to re-establish all my stuff and carry on flying. I hope you find the same passion as your Dad and realise how relaxing it all can be. Please continue his legacy. (hugs and condolences)

[@DontMe__]

You're the first person I've watched go through the checklist in this game and actually explain what they're for. So neat! Thanks a bunch!!

[@ajalatobi9723]

You can check Captain Joe

[@bujin1977]

Agreed. For non-pilots like me, just having stuff saying "click this switch" isn't very useful. I want to know *why* I'm clicking the switches. What do they do? Of course, I doubt anyone could really go into detail on it as the videos would be hours long, but it is nice to have just a general idea. Very few of the videos I've seen out there do this.

[@CantankerousDave]

The channel “Squirrel” is another pilot. He did an interesting video a few days ago on how you navigate the many overlapping airport control zones around London. If my hair weren’t grey already, it sure would be after a single flight around there.

[@bujin1977]

@@CantankerousDave Yes, I saw that video. Very interesting!

[@JamesPetts]

@@CantankerousDave Interesting. I didn't know that Squirrel was an actual pilot.

I don't care if you're a pilot or not. You are passionate about flying and you are trying to share your passion with people, and that's all I care about. Please continue to share, and keep faith in humanity. There are people who love your videos.

[@bergbergs2712]

Pro-tip that I only learned by accident yesterday: When you're moving a dial (such as the heading dial), you can use the mouse scroll wheel up or down to change it instead of clicking for every degree, as long as your cursor is over the dial. Made my life a lot easier to figure this out!

[@JG-sherminator]

I learned more in the first 12 minutes of this video than all of the other sim vids (that I've found) on YT. Thanks Emilie.

[@jonathanramos8715]

Anybody else low key want a q400 to come out for this sim that's 10/10 so Emilie can fly it. Imagine the possibilities haha, proper walk through and a glimpse into what and how you do the checklists upfront. Ill be starting flight school soon and the way you speak through your flight explaining what you're doing is solid, really easy to follow along for any new pilots. But the fact that your smiling through this whole experience shows how much you love what you do! If I can experience that with any instructor then is going to be a really fun time! Thank you for the content really fun watching this. Have an amazing day!

[@QGofGAMER]

The company majestic that make professional q400 for fsx have said that they will work on making a q400 for fs 2020 but because they didn't had early access to the SDK it won't be for at least a year.

Thanks a lot for the checklist explanation! It's rare to find such well-spoken and simple yet essential tutorials and the beginners like me appreciate it immensely. Looking forward to seeing the other planes in more detail in future videos. If you really enjoy flying in the sim you could consider streaming flights and hopefully earn some money for your efforts, I'm not sure of your situation but my friend says finding work as a pilot in the current market is quite the task. Hopefully you can be flying in the real world again soon.

[@bbjbnb]

As a 50+ year real life pilot as well as a 35+ year Flight Sim pilot, I find you refreshing and fun to listen to and watch. 2 suggestions for future videos to help real and sim pilots be the best they can be, are: #1- describe a solid Take-Off briefing... discussing the aspects of the takeoff and emergency procedures associated with each part... on the ground, runway remaining, in the air, in the climb out, etc. #2) discussions of engine failures and how to handle... straight ahead landing or a return to the airport. This is one of the fantastic things about the simulator... I have a reference sheet for over 100 of my favorite aircraft in my 2 present sims (out of the roughly 300+ aircraft and helicopters total in both sims) that list the minimum altitude (agl) and the maximum distance (miles) for each aircraft to be able to return to the airport in the event of a total engine failure. By the way, in some under powered single engine GA aircraft, there is no combination of altitude/distance that works (in takeoff configuration) and you must land straight ahead. It was great fun to test each plane until success was achieved. Yes, I know that engine failures are rare, but in my 50+ years of real life flying, I have encountered 3 complete engine failures... landing in a cow pasture once... on a highway once and one return to the departing airport. A good pilot is always practicing.

[@aikidoshi007]

That was great Emilie, really appreciate the detailed coverage of the checklist items, I look forward to your tutorials on the G1000 features.

Honestly this type of tutorial is exactly what I have been looking for. It’s very helpful. The first time I watched this I was incredibly overwhelmed with the layouts and zillions of knobs lol by the second time I watched it all the way throughI really felt a much better understanding of the workflow and why you would need to do things like check the battery and fuel and everything BEFORE you are in flight lol

[@nimit9575]

Didn't know you were from Toronto. Huge shout out from the 6. :)

[@GibsonGaming]

You mentioned it being hard to look around. There is a product called TrackIR 5. It attaches to your headphones and has an infrared sensor that you attach to your monitor. It tracks you head movement and moves the camera in game so you can look around just by moving your head a bit. A lot of us simmers use it for racing/flying games, the immersion is so much higher. Later on ASOBO is adding support for VR which will be even better!

[@mtpstv94]

Since you're a real pilot and you obviously know these things pretty in-depth considering you've gotten to where you are, could you make a few more comments about why each of these checks are made when it's important, the importance of the order they are in, etc. Something that a person like you with a lot of experience would understand. I know a lot of simmers are into it because they can't necessarily afford to do the real thing but still want to learn the technical stuff. Don't have to go too in depth, just a few comments with useful information would be interesting to see. =)

[@Hunkeykung]

Agree with this. Would be great

[@charlesbrewer6552]

There are a great many private pilot 'learn to fly books' covering the private pilot syllabus. If you are serious about learning the 'in depth' of how to fly an aircraft you should buy and read them. They are not all that expensive and that is what 'real' student pilot have to do. The instructors give you the practical and brief theory lessons, but you are expected to put some effort in yourself.

​I've been watching your videos ( some of them many times ) i'm an FS enthusiast . and there's stuff I really would like to know and understand. You explain things really well , really naturally .I would really enjoy a course from you about Autopilot, or even the basic physics of plane (inclined plane force, flaps and elevation . vertical speed . horizontal speed and all those things, in relation to flying with said instruments . Also procedures like VOR/DME & SID/STARS. (the whole take off/ approach procedure), and flight plans . I think it would also boost your channel too. I'd be really happy to go through those things explained by you because it's a pleasure watching your content.

[@jamfjord]

I dunno, Emilie, weren't you right the first time about which hand to use for throttle and yoke? Your instincts sounded right to me, assuming you're in the left seat as PIC. Maybe it's the hardware that's wrong. A lot of the joystick and throttle combos out there seem to be aimed at gamers wanting to fly F15s or shoot lasers at asteroids, rather than practice aviation procedures. I'm planning to buy the Honeycomb yoke and TQ for this reason. Great video anyway, I haven't flown for over a decade now so this kind of resource is great for jogging my memory. You remind me of my instructor, she was similarly relaxed and matter-of-fact, with good banter, a deep love of flying and (luckily for me) endless patience!

[@andrealioce4341]

If someone wants to fly an f-15 that does not mean he's a gamer. Try dcs world f/a-18, that's a very deep and accurate simulator, and you want to have the throttle on your left hand if you're into it.

[@shorttimer874]

Am trying to figure this out myself, I find using button 1 on my joystick, the trigger, give the view to the nearest landmark, when landing that'll be the airfield, giving me a quick check for when I"m at 45 degrees or whatever. I feel you pain with the adjustments you need to make. I got FS the first time for my Apple ][ and had a homemade joystick with no self centering. My brother in law was a flight instructor building up his hours so he could work with his dad with Flying Tigers way before they were bought out by Fed Ex. He couldn't fly it at all but he talked me into my first successful landing. Neat thing, just before his dad retired they had a chance to fly together as pilots on a 747 international flight. Gary lost his seniority after the buyout, ended up flying 727s domestic at the end of his career.

@@CrashForce A handful of cities worldwide have been hand modelled, and for some there is 3 dimensional Bing map data. For most towns and cities there is currently no such info, so they apparently are using an AI to interpret regular Bing maps and approximate what may be there. As Bing maps continues to improve, this data will get better, and the details should get more accurate.

[@CrashForce]

@@SailingMists Do you happen to know which of the cities have been hand modelled? I'm genuinely curious to know as that would taken a long time to put together. I actually thought that only about 40 airports were modeled by hand and that was about the only thing they touched by hand on the entire planet but yes I'm looking forward to the future updates of Bing Maps.

[@CrashForce]

@@SailingMists My main issue with Toronto is that they placed generic buildings on top of some really poor imagery taken from Bing Maps. This imagery also includes 2D images (top-down) of the buildings that are replaced by generic buildings and even 3D versions of themselves. It just looks weird to have an image of the building laid on the ground and then a 3D version on top of it if that makes sense.

The engine sounded like a marble in a tin can. Just 5 airports, and now look what we have today. Been with FS since 1977.

And today I learned I've been saying "pitot" wrong

Great little video. I’ve been flying MSFS for 20+ years and I’m still learning something new.

So... right hand, left hand controls..... I'll defer to my Q400 driver when she's landing on 02/20 or 12/30 at YEG with crosswinds and icy tarmac. Pretty sure she's got that !!🤘🤘🤘🤣🤣🤣

Great tutorial! Brisk and fun to watch while packing in the details. BTW, for better viewing, TrackIR is great. It's what I'd be using if my son hadn't broken the IR headset clip.

Wow, you are rather meticulous with your check-list. I'm more of the "Is the plane still there?" check. FIREWALL IT, BILLY!!! While making some sarcastic welcome announcement to my fictitious passengers like "Thank you for flying Air Charlie. Today's route into Seattle-Tacoma is estimated to be 95 minutes, but we think we can do it it 60. I have turned on the "fasten seat-belts" light because the co-pilot has been smashing cocktails of night-quill and Redbull since 5 am and is currently engaged in a shouting match with demons that only he can see, I'm anticipating a dog-fight to commence at any moment. We know you have a choice in air carriers and you chose poorly"

Great video of properly starting the c172. Have subscribed. Keep it up with the videos ... I will be watching! PS. Don't worry about people negative comments... You will improve making these videos as you learn the Sim...love that you are a real pilot😊

Emilie looks cute every time she looks back at the camera. Although, I think she's actually looking to see if the camera is still on or something. lol

[@Pilotemilie]

Yep - I had to refilm an ENTIRE segment because my camera died half way through 😅😅😅. KZbin noob.

[@riccardodarsie8064]

Great video! I'm happy u're feeling better with the hotas now! saw the throttle fitting graceously in your hand :)

[@tzovlask]

do you think after playing this for hundreds of hours, you will need a mouse when you go back to flying a real plane? ...maybe you can just bring the cat lol

[@darrenjackson7912]

That face when you landed though! 🤣 Priceless....

[@brianwood7935]

Darren Jackson Obviously loves what she is doing!
