Hey guys! I decided to upon request from a few student pilots, to make a video on how to get started with Flight Simulator X. A lot of students out there could really benefit from practising with flight sim. and from what I've experienced so far from 3 different schools, is that almost only a handful who knows how to effectfully make good use of flight sim. during instrument training for example. The purpose of the series is not to go into details on how to fly instrument flying, but just to show how easy it is to use it. This first video is intended towards people new to flight simulator.Feel free to share it with anybody you think would like to get started!

Great idea Thomas!

Thanks, ThomasI love tutorials ! This should help the new guys a lot. Looking forward to the next ones.

Hi Thomas, while the idea is pretty good, I think you have got the wrong target market. It is pretty safe to assume anybody who reads the PMDG 737NGX forum already knows the basics of using a flight sim so this is probably the wrong place to put it if you want trainee pilots to see it.

Hey Paul. Yes I think that's a fairly safe assumption to make B) I will return when I have a NGX tut. ready which might be this week or the next. :( I have one other video in the making, which doesn't have anything to do with the NGX, but will focus on just how simple it is to use FSX during instrument training. First video is targeted at those new to FS. Next video is targeted at student pilots. But I'm not going to teach instrument flying, there are excellent instructors on the flight schools that does that already. I'm simply just showing people how I used FSX during my own instrument training, because I think many could benefit from the experience. :( Regarding the NG, the plan is to pass on some of my knowledge so that other students (and flightsimmers) hopefully can learn something. One thing is to read about it in fancy aviation books, another thing is to see it "in action". Extra knowledge never hurts before MCC or even a job interview. I'm sure that some or many of the regulars around here, wont get anything from my videos. But I just know too many student pilots that knows so much about aviation but once we talk EFIS airplane, they are lost. And that's too bad! :(
