March 31, 20242 yr I would say that ITB is the best at the moment, but this intro to the C-17 has been very helpful. Surely not everybody was kung fu fighting. https://rationalwiki.org
April 2, 20242 yr I like Beckett. I find his walk throughs for cold/start to be very helpful with complicated planes. I think he sometimes tries to be gracious to the developers who give him free planes, so sometimes he holds back on honest critique. But kinda easy to spot when he feels a plane is "mid"; and he gets really excited about quality planes. I trust his judgment generally. A330 Driver another one I like.

April 3, 20242 yr I don't know about best, but I like his tutorials. Often a great starting point to learning a new plane. My go to for reviews is AVSIM, so I cant comment on his reviews. Ron MSFS 2024 -Too many airplanes to name. Too many airports to name.
April 3, 20242 yr While I do like Jonathan Beckett, it is plain to see his reviews are not always the best. He misses a lot and doesn't always cover prominent features that you would expect him to. But like AvAngels videos, they are of a certain depth and style, and are fine for a quick watch for entertainment purposes and to get a basic feel for if the product might interest you. Not all videos have to be the same. While ITB is extremely competent, his videos can also come across as stuffy and boring. I get fed up with people doing a mag check in aircraft where it is known mag failure isn't modelled for example. What are they expecting to happen?

April 3, 20242 yr ITB is my favourite. Complete, accurate and to the point. The C-17 itself seems to be coming along and developing into quite a nice piece of freeware.
