Huddison, your explanation are way more clear than tutorials on my own language. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. Hello from Ukraine 🖐️

This is just pure gold! ❤

Excellent as always. You have a knack of taking a complex subject and making it approachable. Glad you're feeling well enough to make this.

It’s worth mentioning that the outbound course can be useful for extending the range between two VORS or maintaining a course to a fixed point.

This was very clearly explained. You mentioned things that I don't think I've heard said quite that way before. Thank you for narrating while sharing your stream of consciousness. Well done 🙂

Thanks for the video sir! I didn't understand how the CDI works, everything is clear now.

Coming from Zero skills in this, you have made it so easy to understand. Cannot thank you enough.

Thanks again for another informative video. In my quest to learn more about flying in MSFS, I have been focusing on learning to fly IFR procedures with the Garmin G1000 in various aircraft. But I have found that using a flight computer and the autopilot somehow takes away the pure fun of flying. And for that reason I have enjoyed your videos because they encourage me to get back to flying just for fun.

You sir are in my top 5 fave KZfaqrs!❤

Great explanation. Love it

Great lesson. Thanks for having great equipment, when you move around on the instruments it’s really clear and sharp for these old eyes. Another one for my favorites file. Loved your landing, I know your busy teaching and explaining but that’s my landings and I’m totally focused, as you say practice practice practice.

I just watched this video again. Very good instruction as usual. I love your teaching style. I would like to point out one item at time cue 6:43. What you refer to as the compass is actually a heading indicator. They are two different instruments that essentially give the same information--the direction of flight. The compass is magnetic and reacts to the Earth's magnetic field. Though it indicates magnetic headings, the heading indicator is not magnetic. It works using a gyroscope. This distinction becomes important if you have the MSFS Assistant Option of gyroscope drift turned on in your game settings. In the real world gyroscopes drift or proceed. Part of the pre flight checklist, while parked or at a full stop short of the runway, is to set the heading indicator to agree with the magnetic compass. Once airborne; while in level, non-turning, non-accelerating flight; the pilot needs to periodically check to make sure the heading indicator and the compass still agree with each other. This is important because compasses are affected by forces of acceleration and only give accurate readings when the aircraft is in complete balance with respect to those forces (level unaccelerated flight or parked). Gyroscopes maintain their alignment during aircraft maneuvers such as climbs, descents and turns. However, over time they proceed and their heading accuracy falls off. One should keep this in mind when practicing non-GPS type of navigation.

Will work on this episode next.

@Huddison, thanks for this excellent tut! No one simplifies and explains it like you do!

Your video proved to me that I was doing nothing wrong, I’m in Australia and the VOR’s aren’t active(maybe..?). I followed what you where doing step by step flying out of Birmingham and everything worked fine. If I’m wrong please tell me, I love flying to and from my town.

good refresher course once I get msfs running half decent hope to plan flights realll sooon using the VOR

Thanks a lot!!

Most excellent tutorial! Thanks!

Excellent Presentation. Thanks

Thanks for another useful guide. I guess that rather than reset the OBS button to centre the vertical bearing line, another option is simply to fly toward that direction till it comes central and to keep doing so? I also want to try setting up both Nav receivers with standbys pre-loaded to navigate in sequence between 2 or more VORs in a longer flight or more complicated route. Ken

I think it's interesting that the CDI line that you follow, is actually the same as the central green/pink line on the other Garmin glass display compasses. You just don't have the 'ends' of the lines that you have on those.

Another excellent tutorial vid, Sir HUD. Makes me want to jump back into the C152 and fly some VORs. Even though the cockpit lighting is now nerfed. Lol.

Very well explained, thank you.

Helpful. Thanks…

Nicely done. Very helpful. Were you using Heading (HDG) mode, to keep you on those radials? and...Would HDG mode be considered "Using the Autopilot"? Thanks.

Perfeito.

Thanks for this, I'm considering purchasing Microsoft flight simulator for Xbox series X (can't afford PC) and i like the idea of having a go at VOR to VOR flying using NAV instruments rather than GPS navigation. I assume you don't have to select an option to allow this in the SIM, you just get in the cockpit and set your target VOR frequency on NAV1 and then take off?

When you center the needle with the dial, does that tell you the heading you need to fly, from your current location, the end up at the vor ?

Thanks heaps. Are all four of those panels VOR receivers? And is the lower instrument a second VOR indicator? Is that so you could load them up an plan a whole route ahead? Ie activating the next one once passing a VOR transmitter. Just wondering why you used the top right VOR? Thanks heaps again. I learned heaps super quickly. 👍

Today's lesson - VOR. Didn't know such thing existed until today.

This was very clearly explained. but If I set the correct frequency of a VOR and the NAV light does not come on, does this mean that it can receive that radio signal?

Having trouble with NDBs when flying the 152 and beechcraft V, I'm tuning to the right frequency, ADF selected, airbourne and in range but the needle doesn't budge, mostly I'm flying around the Midlands and north of England - are these beacons not working, or am I doing something wrong? Thanks in advance :)

So when yoi turn the cdi know to center the needle, does that tell you the heading you need to fly? I'm confused because I would think you would need to change heading until you intersect the radial, thus centering the needle

I Like this tutorial very much but with me it works only when I depart from Birmingham Departing from any other airport in Spain or Holland doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?
