F is for Flight Director ✈️ Master the magenta lines in MSFS 2024
Master the "Ghost in the Cockpit" in Microsoft Flight Simulator! Today we explore "Flight Director" the essential guidance system that bridges the gap between manual flying and full automation. Whether you’re hand-flying a SID in the Boeing 737 or following a GPS track in the G1000, the FD is your secret to professional precision.
In this episode of our MSFS Alphabet series, we demystify those magenta bars. We’ll break down the difference between the different aircrafts including the Cessna 172 G1000, Boeing 737 and Airbus A320, explain why the FD is NOT the Autopilot, and show you how to avoid the "chasing the bars" trap.
