Dear pilots,
So it's been a long time since I posted anything to the forums. But this is something that I've been thinking about for a long time. I really think that it would only make FG much better and attract much more people if a 'Tutorials' section gets implemented in the menu. It shouldn't be a hard thing to do, and it would certainly help all the new players with understanding the simulator.
Think about it: what was your thought on the very first time that you loaded up the sim? I know what mine was: "How the heck do i get this plane off the runway????" I assume that I am not the only one who thought this on the first few tries. But this is not just with taking off, a lot of other amazing aspects about this simulator are very vague to new players. And for new players, it's easy to give up and never look at this amazing simulator again.
Now, I can already hear a lot of you thinking: "Just go to youtube and search for tutorials". Isn't that a little bit...weird to say? With eerything in life, It's important to invite and welcome new people, instead of just saying "just find out yourself and we'll see you later". Not saying that there are no good tutorials on youtube, as a matter of fact there are a lot of great ones. But instead of leaving the sim and going on the internet, I think that a new tutorial section should be added in the launcher, with all sorts of tutorials (take-off/landing/carrier landings and take-offs/multiplayer tips/ILS landings etc etc....). This is all about creating a better user experience, something that is very important in my opinion.
