ILS Approach Tutorial - Microsoft Flight Simulator

Welcome to The Flight Sim Hub! In this comprehensive tutorial, we'll guide you through the process of mastering the ILS (Instrument Landing System) approach using the Asobo A320 NEO in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020.

Key Topics Covered:

- Setting up your A320 NEO for a precision ILS approach.

- Capturing and flying the ILS glide slope.

- Final approach and landing techniques.

- When and how to disengage the autopilot for a manual landing.

Performing an ILS Approach is a critical skill for virtual pilots looking to enhance their realism and precision in flight simulation, especially during challenging weather conditions.

PMDG Boeing 737 Mini Review - Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020

For those that are new to Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 (MSFS 2020), you may not have heard of PMDG Simulations before. PMDG are one of, if not the most recognised and experienced business in Flight Simulation, creating aircraft for MSFS - their most well known or popular aircraft being the Boeing 737-800, which we are reviewing today.

PMDG Simulations Boeing 737-800

So, what makes the PMDG Boeing 737-800 so good?

Physics

We have plenty of experience with the 737 to compare it with the default aircrafts on the simulator. The PMDG 737 offers a fantastic flying experience. From take off, to landing, to taxiing - everything seems extremely well put together. Many real world pilots have reviewed the aircraft, so don't just take it from us - go and check out some other YouTube reviews too!

Sound

Wow. Put the engines to TOGA and listen to the roaring CFM56 engines spool up. We have flown on many 737-800s in our time, and can 100% confirm that the sounds in the simulator virtually mimic real life.

Immersion

Until you have flown this aircraft yourself, you won't understand how immersive it really is. Jumping from this to the Asobo Airbus A320 NEO is like going from a Ferrari 488 to a Nissan Micra. Most of the buttons work, the sounds of the landing gear deploying, flaps, etc - and the work you actually have to put in to fly the plane. This is as good as it gets.

The bad points...

Holding Altitude

Occasionally, once you have reached cruising altitude - the pane can deviate by about 300ft. Now, this isn't a MAJOR flaw, but it is pretty annoying, especially if you plan to use the aircraft on the VATSIM Network

PMDG Boeing 737 Shared Cockpit

If you plan on flying this plane in a Shared Cockpit Setup, by using YourControls for example, we would advise against it, especially on the VATSIM Network. We have had a few issues with this aircraft in a Shared Cockpit. More information to come in a YouTube video. If you're messing around with a friend native in the simulator, rather than on VATSIM, then you won't notice too many problems.

Whilst we've got you, feel free to go and check out our YourControls Tutorials on Youtube!

The Flight Sim Hub | Join us on VATSIM!

Good evening,

We are looking for new-ish Flight Simmers, more specifically those who use MSFS 2020, to join us on a VATSIM flight in a Shared Cockpit Setup and feature on our YouTube channel.

We understand VATSIM can be a scary thought for many. We remember the days of being sat at our gate, connecting to the network and then disconnecting before even saying a word. With the toxicity that now surrounds the VATSIM "scene", we'd like to give people the opportunity to join us for a flight to get used to the network, how it works, and the terminology used by Pilots and Air Traffic Controllers, without the stress of doing it all on your own.

If you would be interested in joining us for a flight, and are happy, as mentioned, to feature on our YouTube Channel, please contact us via the "Get Involved" Page or click the button below.

Get Involved!

Thank you! The Flight Sim Hub
