Very helpful guide, and I'm looking forward to future up updates. Well worth the money.

good program

This is a great value and great experience when it works. For example, the “epic” Ranger will auto-fail, and will cancel for no reason. And the steering can have a mind of its own. BUT…that doesn’t mean it’s not more than worth the money. The efforts to make the challenges and the scenery are very evident. Hopefully , the glitches ones will be patched soon.

I have been reading this guide since day 1 of the original guide launch and then upgraded to the new guide. Helped me setup my new computer and graphics card for optimum performance. And the tutorials are easy to follow.

Overall the extended handbook appears to cover everything you need to know. But I was disappointed that there was nothing on setting up joysticks and pedals that were not included in the list of flight controls that were automatically recognised and configured. The menus to set up the controls are utterly baffling and not at all like the setting up of controls on previous versions of MSFS or X-Plane. Please can you include this topic with plenty of screen shots in your updates.

The 360 page extended edition is overwhelming, but in a good way. Some of the content is reference material you might find elsewhere (key commands, photogrammetry cities, recommended graphics settings), but having it all in one place is really handy. Tips and illustrations add so much depth. I haven’t seen before a brief and understandable guide to setting up for VR. It has mini tutorials too, and it is up to date as of World Update 5 (Nordic) which is pretty amazing. Plus they plan to issue updates. I have it in iBooks on my iPad for handy reference while my screens are busy with flying.

This is a must have

An easy to read, follow and understand guide to Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020.
Divided into sections for quick reference, there's a wealth of information and "how to" knowledge available.
Suitable for beginners and advanced simmers alike, there is something for everyone in this well written and illustrated guide.

Agree with all the others (David Alan). Really good guide and assistance. Keep to this format, thanks Calum.

While already owning the original version of the manual, purchased the extended version as well. The extended version was worth the upgrade price. The "missing Microsoft manual!" published by SoFly, helped make the new flight Sim so much more enjoyable to use. It is a quality publication in both content and layout.

Screen shots are great references to the actual game. I have purchased other references that spend more time on rudimentary flying skills vs helping with use of the control and use of the game. Looking forward to any updates to the manual. Would like more information on bringing in real time traffic. Selected “Live traffic” multiple times but can’t see anything matching the ADSB exchange. Great manual overall. Well worth the money.

Have downloaded "A Guide to Flight Simulator: Extended Edition" and have made a good start. It's a nicely written FS2020 user-guide, which will please the many readers who've had to struggle through some other FS2020 publications. I decided to print the user-guide (all 200+ pages), but I would have gladly paid more for a pre-printed copy (had one been available).

I like it, but would like more on how-to operate cockpit tools.

This update is a welcome addition to an already great guide. I am looking forward to future updates.

While these manuals are a mine of information I find the main thing lacking is the necessary key codes amongst the text. This would save having to bring up the necessary key codes from the keycode page while flying on a different monitor.
The only other thing I can say is well done. You have done what Microsoft should have done in a document folder. Keep up the good work.
