FSX-SE has a mass of info (a virtual encyclopedia), called The Learning Center, within the program itself under help.

This site can help as well:

https://www.flightsimbooks.com/

packed with a bunch of free books filled with instruction and flight ideas applicable to both FSX-SE and XP11.

 

Thanks Paul. I have started reading the Learning to Fly book.

Hi...

While this site is old - it's well done and still relevant - it's what started me down the path...

Thanks! This looks great.

Thank you all for the suggestions. I will check out the books and the links.

Hi all,

I've always wanted to get into sim flying but I've never been able to proceed beyond the basic tutorials in XPlane and FSX. I finish those, but then I don't know what to do next! How do I learn how to fly properly (sim flying, I mean, not real flying)? I have a good computer (Ryzen 2700x, 32GB RAM, GTX 1070) and a basic Thrustmaster Joystick so I have the technical side sorted. I also have purchased both FSX-SE and X-Plane 11  so I have the software.

I'm able to use the basic features on FSX-SE and XP11 - I can take off, land, and fly around. What I don't know is things like creating a flight plan, communicating with the tower, and actually flying from Airport X to Airport Y. Right now I just load a random airport and a basic Cessna, take off, fly around in a circle and then land.

I'd love to be able to go through some form of flight sim training. I have time for the next six months so thought I'd get back into it. I've tried Youtube, but there are too many channels and I can't find something that works for me.

So AVSIM experts, help me out. How do I get to the point where I can really enjoy flying? I'd appreciate any and all tips.

Thanks!
