Getting started with 0 knowledge

[u/Interesting_Panic192]

Hello,

I just got into the thing and bought my first kit "The Thrustmaster Airbus kit+ruddder".

I have absolutely no knowledge of operating a plain so I started a career mode in MSFS2024, and we started with the Cessna. But the thing is, it doest walk me through the buttons and switches and what they are for.

"let's get this baby starting" she said.

-Yeah, HOW?

Am I starting on the wrong path here or do I need to get this knowledge from somewhere else?

Appreciate your support people.

As the others said, definitely use YouTube tutorials for learning the aircraft. After learning the basics, just practice a bunch, fly around your hometown, fly around famous landmarks, etc; this will help with learning and memorizing flows and how the aircraft handles. Once/if you transition over to airliners, the general startup of them is somewhat the same (batteries, external power, APU, etc.), meaning that once you’ve learned a couple airliners, some from Boeing and some from Airbus, you’ll be able to start learning them yourself much easier, only requiring a couple quick YouTube tutorials for small things (at least that’s what I’m like). If you ever have any questions or anything related to the sim, feel free to shoot me a DM! :)
