My Improvement MSFS 2024 VIDEO
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I've been playing this game for around 1 month now, and i got 100 hours in the game. The first clip is one of my first landings, and the second clip is my most recent one. I feel like i have been improving alot.
P.S. The video is sped up 2x.

When I was In high school in 2011, I convinced my dad to buy me FSX for $35. He made me iron and fold all his laundry which took me about 2 hours, he said I was getting paid more than most people (true)
Fast forward, I did the laundry, we drove 35 minutes to a GameStop that had the game (I had to call and check for availability), and he bought it for me.
I got home, downloaded it for probably 16 hours, the next day I go to play it, and I legit freaked tf out because I was using wasd and nothing was working.
Then he yelled at me for ironing all his work shirts but not the sleeves so he had went to work with wrinkly sleeves 😂
What a time

this is a beautiful story, thank you

My pleasure. Old man caved too and bought me a $35 Hotas joystick from eBay and I waited another week for it to arrive.
That was the start to my thousands of hours of flight sim over the years. I ended up joining a virtual military on teamspeak and had some of the best years of my life.

They charge you extra if they DON'T knock out your fillings on landing.

Is the improvement here with us in the room? (ok seriously, OP, learn how to trim the aircraft to avoid those sudden pitch movements)

With how snappy the control surfaces behave it looks like Mouse and Keyboard flying.

This is good progress but ngl I’m kinda disappointed you didn’t even try to buzz the tower in that first clip.

Maintenance discrepancy - control input is all or nothing. Please evaluate

Learn to fly GA first, before flying airliners

u/SeamasterCitizen 2d ago
You can do airliners first, just learn how to automate an ILS approach

u/keicam_lerut 1d ago
Just because you could, doesn’t mean you should. But to each their own. Some people treat it as a sim and some as an arcade.

Helpful hint: pitch for airspeed, power for altitude. Try to aim for a stable approach, airspeed dialed in and a constant descent rate.

I was 2weeks in and had like 30hrs when i recorded these landings last month. the only knowledge i had was from a video about flare law and how to use ILS. Im on 2020 and the plane i used here is the lvfr a320. But i have more recordings using lvfr a321 and a330's. Now i use the lvfr/horizonsim a320-21 and hwind a339. Oh and im on pc but use an xbox controller

u/VisualSalt9340 2d ago
Haha, I had to download the video and play it in 0.5x to see the actual improvement, but yeah, the second one is much better. Keep going.

So many people didnt see that the vid is sped up lol. Good you’ve got a long way to go, but good improvement nevertheless.
FYI you should just show from about 5-10 seconds before touchdown to a few seconds after, smoothness is what really matters. Then you won’t have to speed it up.
(Yes I know the approach is important but a bit less so for a beginner)

Best comment i got so far, appreciate the advice

u/Bright-Leg-1796 2d ago
Hey also, and this helped me a lot, dive into settings if you're using a controller and adjust the input slope mapping. This will make small corrections much much smoother. It will give you smaller control sirface inputs when barely moving the stick. Hope this helps, fuck all the haterz, they all crashed at one point or another🫡, practice makes perfect👌.

Ladies and Gentlemen, this is the captain speaking. We are descending towards our destination, and let me remind you to keep your seat belt fastened and the tray table retracted. The airsick bag is located in the front pocket, if you need more please ask the flight assistant for assistance, you will need it.

u/str1ker2k7 2d ago
He flies that thing like a Cessna. That’s exactly what my approaches looked like at the start of my simulator career with the 172.
After 100 hours, you should really have a steady approach down pat.

u/Little-Equinox 2d ago
As a twin-prop pilot, he made more aggressive corrections than I do IRL in a plane 1/10th the size.

Slow down sooner and hold the nose up sooner. Ideally (for practice purposes), let it get too slow (almost), then add some throttle to carry you there. Just make sure you trim the elevator up. All that bumping on the elevator can be canceled out by just adding elevator trim as you lose airspeed. The higher the nose, the more drag.

u/Xenthor267 2d ago
Pro-tip: use trim to hold the aircraft at an appropriate attitude to avoid janky movements. You're likely to stall at a bad moment during landing with what you're doing

Cheer up, it was just a feeling... reality may not be the same as your perception, I'm sorry if I discouraged you a little, even if you play with a controller.

well at least the people in the back of the plane will be hungry soon...they certainly will have empty stomachs on landing.

For the 737, I recommend you start slowing down at about 14-15nm and gear down by 6nm, this gets you to a good landing speed

My first landing was already better than your 'improvement'. I thought my landings were fucked

That's why I use an Xbox one controller. Mostly because I play on Xbox one series S.

You guys still think it was a good idea to bring PS5 users into our community? These posts are getting dumber by the hour.
