How to plan and execute a VFR flight in Microsoft Flight Simulator (Part 2 - Flying)

Microsoft Flight Simulator out of the box allows us to carry out VFR flights - that is flights where we navigate only by what we see out of the window - anywhere in the world. It is a fantastic product but doesn't do much to help you out beyond the basics of flight.


In this video, we shall carry out the flight that we planned in part 1 around some of the sights of Herefordshire.


02:56 Takeoff

18:38 Road corner
21:14 Crossroads
23:08 Landing



I am aware of the stuttering of the video! I know other people have also had problems with OBS and MFS, I can tell you that the framerate was very smooth for me and it's a shame it doesn't really come through in the recording. You can see the FPS in the top left.
