Questions

I know how to fly but I'm new to MSFS 2024. Where should I start?

Our MSFS 2024 Beginners Quick Guide will show you how to set up the basic settings with examples of each type of settings and a list of minimum settings. Examples of settings for two leading HOTAS systems are included. It will also guide you directly to two different types of free flights - with two different airplanes, different areas in the world and different flight conditions.

Add the MSFS 2024 EFB Quick Guide to use a tablet in every airplane you fly with basic instructions on how to use it.

Once you know how to perform free flights, the MSFS 2024 Advanced Quick Guide will guide you through every type of flight in the sim, with some extra advanced settings instructions, such as walking outside the airplane, performing pre-flight checks and getting into the pilot's seat.

When you want to start visual flights in interesting places, get the Grand Canyon Low-Level flying tour guide, to learn how to prepare and fly a flight plan (3 different ways).
