"This manual is well laid out and easy to read & understand. The walkthroughs are a good way of putting the information into practice. I will definitely get more out of FS2020 thanks to reading this!"

We're excited to announce our latest update for A Guide to Flight Simulator has been released. Version 1.30 builds on our previous releases and adds a complete tutorial on becoming an expert with the TBM 930.
The tutorial will take you on a trip from Telluride Airport to Aspen Airport, whilst navigating the nearby mountains from VOR to VOR. The tutorial will cover everything from using the G3000 and the autopilot, to powering up the aircraft and shutting it down.
This update brings yet another 20-pages to the guide bringing the total page count to 190-pages of stunning material to help support you get to grips with Mircrosoft Flight Simulator.

Here's a more detailed look at what this update brings.
TBM 930 Tutorial Flight
You will be doing an early morning departure from Telluride Airport to Aspen Airport in the TBM 930. You will learn how to turn the aircraft on from a 'cold and dark' state, add in VOR data and learn how to use the autopilot in the G3000. By the end of the flight, you will have covered a lot of new skills and techniques to help you become an even better virtual pilot.
Navigating Using VORs
You will be using VORs to fly between the two airports. Version 1.30 will feature a comprehensive look on how to program the information you need to fly using this type of navigation aid. Furthermore, you'll be shown how to switch between various different navigation modes whilst in-flight.
