Apologies for the loud engine volume - if anything, this is a good example of how loud a real GA aircraft is :) Also - guess who forgot to re-open the cowl flaps on approach, and forgot to switch off the magentos! :) (also - on watching back - notice how approach mode loses the glideslope in the last quarter mile?)

Absolutely stellar job, mate. What a beautiful craft and gorgeous misty night as well. Don't let the haters get you down, watching these flights and feeling like I'm figuring out the plane alongside you is an absolute delight. Thank you 🙏

Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Finally!! Someone who, like me, takes the simulator as a serious tool to learn to fly properly and not as a stupid game!! I've taken and passed the PP ground school but only have maybe 11 hrs actual left seat time. FSX (I have the steam version on my PC) allows me to have the enjoyment of flying while I apply what I've learned in both the PP couse and the commercial course. I'm 65 so won't ever finish real training. Through FSX I now have accrued 140+ hours in both night and instrument flight and a total of over 4500 hours flight time on my FSX Sim. Indiana, USA.

As a pilot who has long since retired from actual cockpit, I appreciate all of you videos. I wish there was away that I could get you checklist and help with all my troubles transition to msfs aircraft

Bravo sir. As a Pilot i have learned more about ils ifr and vor flight from your videos and can put them to practice like you said in a safe environment then i learned in all of ground school and over 192 hours of flight time. Thank you soo much for all of your content and efforts you have made my sim and real life flight experience a more fun and educated experience. And i think you handle the aircraft brilliantly in the sim. Everybody has opinions mine is please continue sir as much as your work and family will allow thank you for all you do.

Don't worry about being "perfect" on everything when it comes to multiple aircrafts in MSFS. You're not a pilot and it's just a simulator. On that note, you are a good teacher and your videos are fun to watch. I have all 4 steam gauge planes and find the Bonanza the most fun to fly. They are all great though and there's much to learn on each. I flew the default G1000 Baron after flying the steam gauge Baron for a week and I better understood how to trim the mixture and reading the info in the G1000 as I learned a lot with the steam gauge,

That’s great ! Just a few tips if you like….. After take-off and cleaning up the aircraft, props 2.500 RPM - 31” manifold (depending if it’s a turbo or not), at final move the props to full fine (fully forward) because you might need full performance in case of a go-around😊

I got into sim flying off my older brother who was exquisite with his adherence to protocols and procedures. That was a long while ago when we were still on FS-98. These days though my brother loves to E-start engines and buzz other players with his F-18 or some other fast craft. I found he's more into MSFS to relax and have fun more than anything and I can't blame him for that. I'm still into correct procedures and all and growing gray by the day. So, I guess its all a matter of how one prefers to use the sim - as after all, its a Sim! I absolutely enjoy and appreciate your style, Jon. Keep churning them, mate.

I can watch this stuff all night.

I did enjoy that. Thank you.

Well done!

Good video. Enjoyed the head down instrument flight. I thought you were approaching pretty fast but it slowed down pretty quickly. And right down to the runway. That has to be a satisfying feeling. I need to do that.

You are amazing as usual 😊

Loved rhat thank you

Nice ! I need to bring out mine as well :)

Thanks for the video. No need to apologize for the engine sound. It's perfect... Thank you. Much better than some videos where we can barely hear the engine, or worse they insert music instead. Just one question, why using the Prop RPM to bleed speed, instead of MP .

Great video! Planning on getting the analog Bonanza once my new system is assembled. What CPU are you using and screen resolution? I saw your GPU is a 3080, and I’m in the process of deciding what components to get. Thanks for doing these videos!

Did you leave the mag switches both on? The reason extra care is needed to cool down after a flight in turbo charged engine equipped plane is to cool the turbos. If shut down too soon, the oil in the plain bearing between the hot side and cold side of the turbo will cook. As that happens carbon deposits accumulate there and eventually the turbo will be harder and harder to turn until it seizes up. Your A&P mechanic may be successful in freeing them up by removing the oil inlet hose and putting a special penetrating solvent in there to soak a while. Then he will try to turn it by hand. BTW, a Baron crashed shortly after take off from Lubbock, Texas this month. Burned on impact.

Another top video thanks. What graphics card you using

I’m not a pilot but it my understanding that on climb and decent the prop levers should be fully forward? It may be a good idea to see what the manual says.

I know you said use the props to slow, but should the props not be full forward on landing approach, & reduce power?

I always though the English perspirded and not sweated lol Your flying is fineee no worries for MFS 2020 I used to fly as a co-pilot with me dad and when I started to fly in the sim long agooo I had to make changes and understand that its only a sim . Todays sim is abit better well ok alot better and some of the things in those days remain so I just try to do the best I can.

so is night time view better now cause about a year I tried to fly at night it was hard to see things and do see below thank you

Awesome video. What is your favorite GA Aircraft in MSFS?

Don't you crank the gas lever before turning on your fuel boost pump (so that you could verify your fuel pressure on the fuel flow gauge ? and so that you would really prime your engine...). That's what I personaly do... But perhaps I'm wrong.

Who flies traffic pattern at 330 knots full throttle?

Viewers: You fly like an idiot. JB: Hold my beer! 😀

Hi Jon, I'd like to contact you privately? Do you have a preferred method or email?

The sound of the engine is making it vryhard for me to hear you. Sorry. I really appreciate your videos. Godd that you are back but this is just too loud engine.smiles. Cheers.
