When I started this game I smoothly learned the cute little things like taking off, throttle, mixture, flaps, landing, trim, etc and then jumped into the C172 and learned basic G1000 autopilot like heading indicator, altitiude hold mode, vertical speed mode.

And I then learned the Cessna Caravan 208B and it was pretty much same but I know like only 20% of the G1000 like just enough to make a small flight assuming visibility is perfect and weather is perfect.

Now I don't know what's next I mean the ultimate goal is to fly airliners but when i tries to learn the FBW 32NX all youtube videos suddenly started treating me like I have a PPL and they all jump into completly new things that I know nothing about like flight planning and navigation.

Even when I tried to learn basic ILS in the C172 they display very complex charts and everything is just so overwhelming.

The problem is I can't find a chronologically ordered full course on Youtube. Every tutorial just assumes I already have a lot of knowledge beforehand.

Btw, until now I didn't understand how to select runway for landing. If the air direction indicator on the G1000 says 240, does that mean I should take runway 24 or the opposite runway?

TL;DR: I want to learn but I don't know in what order

Irl I went from flying clapped out bug smashing C172 and PA161 with flags for GS failures every three seconds as an instructor to an E170/175 with envoy, the way we learn it is the same way we learn every license and rating, study, study, study, practice, practice practice the information presented to us by instructors and our company FOMs

In the sim as said above it becomes all the same, just with variations, flying IFR is all the same just figuring out where to plug stuff in comes with reading the manuals presented, watching YouTube videos, etc
