Good afternoon forum, Firstly wanted to start off by saying thank you to everyone who has reached out either through my previous thread or directly through messaging to offer advice, help, etc… the community support appears to be strong! As I (somewhat) patiently await the arrival of all my new or…

This is a great book when you’re new to flight sim https://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Flight-Simulator-Pilots-Training/dp/0764588222/ref=pd_aw_sbs_1/132-4228112-3778122?pd_rd_w=NI0nS&pf_rd_p=bc45384a-cf15-479c-b874-e31c5245d34e&pf_rd_r=EQY9XZG55RVE8YZPGBN3&pd_rd_r=10cfb100-0a57-490d-8215-294366c88932&…

I wish that the FS2K-FSX flight school with Rob Machado had been ported or redone. SU5 Brings more training flights and MSFS twitch has lessons. There are a number of YouTube channels and streams out there. There is a lot (really A LOT) of info the FAA publishes that is free to download. This can…

For groundschool I recommend to watch the flying lessons with our own @Jummivana on [image] [OFFICIAL] Twitch Flying Lessons: C152 Community Guides This is a "virtual ground school" with ForderLearntoFly, a real-life pilot. Please note that these streams are fo…

I concur with StarlessLion 50. That is a great book. Although it was written for FSX, I keep it on my desk and still refer to it. It covers all the basics of flying including explaining why an airplane flies and moves up to more advanced skills. Worth the $25 or so.

Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to chime in thus far, I will get started on those suggestions provided. I can certainly follow a manual / procedure and press the right button at the right time. I just want to understand what I’m pressing, and why. What is it actually doing and why am I doi…

I understand your frustration with organized knowledge sharing. It would be so much easier if comprehensive documentation was produced to put everyone on the same page regarding best practice functionality. All that aside, I’ve found a few You Tubers that have gone to a lot of trouble to introduce t…

Well, the Youtube tutorials will certainly tell you what buttons to push and when to push them. The book will tell you why. I keep a bunch of those videos bookmarked. The two reinforce each other. With both at your disposal, plus all the experienced flyers (real and make-believe) on this forum, you …

Seeing all the money you just threw at MSFS for a more immersive experience, I would recommend staying out of the Home Cockpit part of the forum. Unless you have a lot of money you’d like to burn. lol

lol, that would be a project for another rainy day. For now I’ll just setup the desk as best as possible.
