greenops011 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 I'm completely new to flight simulators in general, and after watching a lot of Airforceproud95 on youtube wanted to give it a go. That being said, I was wondering if anyone knew of a good guide or tutorial for FS2004, if possible in PDF format. I'd rather PDF because then I can pull it up on my iPad while I'm playing the sim on my main PC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NMLW Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 I suggest you start with the 2004 "Learning Center" Under "Help" on the tool bar. Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lnuss Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Beside's Larry's suggestion above (a good one), you can learn a lot with the free publications from the FAA at https://www.faa.gov/regulations_policies/handbooks_manuals/aviation/ where the FAA's pilot training manuals and other good information can be read, much can even be downloaded as a PDF. For instance the Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge can be downloaded as either one PDF or as a PDF for each chapter at https://www.faa.gov/regulations_policies/handbooks_manuals/aviation/phak/. And the Airplane Flying Handbook is at https://www.faa.gov/regulations_policies/handbooks_manuals/aviation/airplane_handbook/ There's also stuff on instrument flying and a number of other subjects.

HornetAircraft Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 the FS2004 flight lessons are also quite good. I did all of them many times back when I was getting into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirkDP Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Hi, I've been mentioning this link for some time now. https://www.flightsimbooks.com/ Great find... I actually had both books by Jonathan M. Stern, but I lost them years ago (late 90s), probably while moving... Bookmarked. Regards, DDP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ViperPilot2 Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 You have an iPad, right? Go to YouTube and search for "GVad The Pilot". He made a Series of videos for FS that are way more helpful than following along in a .pdf; you can see exactly what he's doing. Holding Patterns/Procedure Turns, VOR Navigation, Landing on the Centerline... he's done over 100 videos. Have a Peek! Hope this helps...
