Cheers :)

I couldn't agree more Tommy. That said, for my personal viewing habits, I probably would prefer the "First Look" approach. I am more of one of those kind of flyers who prefers a faster and maybe more fun flying style to just jump in, set the flight plan and go. My personal comment to Jonathan, is keep making both kinds of videos to cater to the both styles of flying. I wouldn't want to see just the more in-depth videos based on just one email received.

My computer is away getting a major upgrade, so I'm passing the time looking at videos. This plane looks very nice and I'll probably buy it. Very good in depth video by the way. To add my two cents to the first look vs in depth videos, I must say I like the latter better, mostly because I don't consider X-plane and MSFS to be "games". I like to fly the aircrafts well, as they should be flown. This said, I often bypass the tests, because I don't implement failures, if available. For example, when I was flying real piston aircraft, I of course did the magnetos checks religiously. I even brought a rental plane back to the FBO when the RPM drop was greater than normal! But in the sim I skip this and other tests. So I'm ok with shortcuts, but the most important thing to me is that things be done in the correct order. Fuel pump on before starting the engine! The videos I really can't stand are those having "tutorial" in the title, but done by people who have no idea of how to really fly a plane and do everything wrong! I would have some examples, which I will keep to myself, to "protect the innocent". I like your videos Jonathan, and especially the emphasis you place on navigation. So I finally subscribed... OK, so I guess after this long post, I really need to get my computer back! 😆

@@Gilles45 Thanks for the great feedback. As you probably have seen - I have a project going on alongside the usual content to look at real-world training materials. So I'll be covering the "real world" procedures, mnemonics, and so on soon :)

1000% agree, definitely going to be watching this start to finish.

It really is :) I've found cracking the throttle open and using choke tends to work 9 times out of 10 :)

@@jonbeckett we shouldn’t tell everyone, but then you wouldn’t be doing your job would you. 😂👍🏼

Hope you enjoy it!

It's very, very good - and thankyou for the recent feedback :)

Yep - I tend to buy from the developers anyway, so they don't lose out on the percentage Microsoft take in the marketplace. Most developers send out an email when there is an update.

It's very well done :)

Very cool!

I've mapped the arrow keys on the keyboard to slide me around. Beyond that, if you plug a USB XBox controller in, the analogue sticks control the drone camera :)

I'm running on a PC.

It's the stock livery that comes with the aircraft.

@@jonbeckett i didn't find it ,could you send it to me,thx

Cheers :)

I mentioned it. You're looking for oil temperature and pressure after starting the engines usually - varies from aircraft to aircraft.

On top of wings you can check and refill your oil

@@DC-we5wx Oh - sorry - I understand what you're saying now :)

Came in on first update love your videos keep up the great work

Because many aircraft engines are based on 1950s designs.

If you run FS Realistic, that adds some nice effects :)

There are several tests of increasing throttle and monitoring the engine instruments - also switching off the magnetos and monitoring the effect. In the real world it's all about making sure each component is working as it should.

It should be there - it's a stock airport in the sim.

It's a bug (or rather, it was a bug)

@@jonbeckett Many thanks, love your video presentation style, love it when your new videos come out.

@@davideatterbury Cheers :)

Second! Lol

@@jonbeckett Eeeek!! Really?!?

They are both good.

@@jonbeckett thanks!

I'm guessing you are asking the specs of my computer? I7, NVIDIA 3080RTX, 16Gb RAM, SSD, fibre to the house.

This is the difficult balancing act - right here :)

I don't mind them :)
