Beginners guide to operating the G1000 and flying a route in the C172 in Microsoft Flight Simulator

A quick IFR flight in the stock Cessna C172 in Microsoft Flight Simulator, taking a look at programming a route into the G1000, then flying it - investingating the various PFD options, operating the autopilot along the way through the various CDI and HSI modes, and navigating by VOR, GPS flight plan, and selected heading. We finish with an ILS approach.
02:11 Programming the Flight Plan into the G1000
07:01 Explaining the Primary Flight Display symbology
09:47 Takeoff!
11:44 Switching autopilot to GPS mode
12:48 Programming NAV1 and switching to VOR navigation
19:28 Changing our altitude
22:52 Exploring the PFD
27:13 Descending
28:55 Changing course at RBL
30:13 Navigating towards the ILS
41:20 On the localizer
42:47 Switching to manual approach to illustrate symbology
48:33 Finals
49:07 Landing
p.s. I discovered what causes the bad audio - it won't happen next time :)
Disclaimer - I'm not a real pilot! I just like messing around with simulators. If you spot a mistake (like running the engine flat out for the first fifteen minutes of the flight), please go easy on me lol.

This is really simple and straightforward, thank you. MFS encourages not to learn about the aircraft because the fuel supply is already on, etc., so that beginners can take off in a couple of clicks. But I needed a more detailed explanation and I got it, thanks.

Really great tutorial. Just a tip to the commenter, this usually happens to me if I spawn in on a runway or somewhere the plane should be started. Or maybe it’s an assistance setting?

I have just progressed from VFR so this was an excellent introduction to a glass cockpit, thanks very much.

Thank you for the wonderful second segment. Finally I learned about the AP stuff. There is a lot to learn in this vid. I have to watch it again. Cheers.

When using a VOR you will be flying a radial to or from a VOR station. Beacons are associated with NDB's, nondirectional beacons. The ADF (Automatic Direction Finder) radio is used to tune in a radio beacon. When using an ADF you will fly what is known as relative bearings. Very specific language is used when using radio navigation, I hope this helps when describing the use of these navigation aids.

Hi Jonathan, is there any difference between entering a flight plane in the MS world map and in the cockpit as you video shows?.

@Faceless_Chat 5 ай бұрын

I thought you are not supposed to turn on electronics until the engine is on... to avoid electricity spikes that can damage the electronics? Correct me if I am wrong.

The aircraft hasn't always been *that* accurate :) I updated this video recently, and provided some documentation - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oLWRq9efx6rVoZ8.html

Thank you for the great explanation, now I have 1 question when I am outside the plane then I see information in the corners in 3 different instruments, how can I remove that so that I only see the plane without the instruments.

@jonbeckett 5 ай бұрын

It's the HUD information - it took me 2 seconds to google it - Options->Camera->Chase Camera->Instrument Heads-Up Display->Off

Hi Jonathan Thanks a lot for your video. Whats the hack to plug in a route directly from LNMap into the G1000 rather than manually programming it?

@jonbeckett Жыл бұрын

In the map screen of MSFS, go to "more", then load - you can load a PLN file. After doing that, the aircraft will be pre-programmed with the route.

Why did you not pull the throttle back once in the horizontal cruise. Caught a glimpse of 2750 rpm, in the red.

Sorry I'm a total novice flight sim, but how do you so freely look around the cockpit like that? I'm getting my instrument rating at the moment and plan on getting flight sim and trying to learn all the tricks and tips! Thanks!

Hold the right mouse button down, and you can pan the camera with the mouse. The cursor keys will let you slide the camera from side to side. If you re-map the up and down keys, you can slide forwards and backwards too :)

Hey Jon. Any reason your not using the NXI version?

I prefer to record stock aircraft videos unless I'm specifically showing a mod. Most people just have the stock aircraft.

@@Ed_Aviation If you're going to learn the big jets, I would go with the PMDG 737-600 - it's good value, and works well.
