What Our Clients Say

“My first FlightSimCoach session and it was really a great experience. Jordan was very easy to discuss issues with and never seemed to be “talking down” to me as has happened on various forums and help sites. Had sent him a “bullet list” of issues/problems I needed help with. All the issues/problems were software related. There was no how to fly or navigate issues for this session. He was well prepared and resolved each bullet quickly and explained what was happening and why. After sending the “bullet list” but before our session MSFS2020 just quit. It would not open/boot. Jordan took on this surprise issue first during the session and resolved the issue. Will consider Jordan to be my go to resource for any assistance with MSFS2020.”

“Patrick is amazing. Extremely competent both on tech and flight instruction. Patient and super nice guy.”

“In a word, excellence would not be an exaggeration. He performed above and beyond all my expectations. He even gave me a few tips for future set ups. When before My experience in flying was frustrating it is now the closest thing to real life flying as it can get without being in an actual aircraft. I highly recommend your services to all even to the point of suggesting this service be provided as part of the purchase of any of the FSMB panels. Yes, It was that good.”

“I am totally impressed with Jordan’s Knowledge, skills and abilities as an instructor. He quickly and easily configured my MSFS 2024 explaining what he was doing and why. I am 72 and even though Jordan is much younger he was able to explain things to me in a way that I could clearly understand. That is saying something these days! Thank you Jordan, Mike and the flight Sim Coach program for making something very difficult seem easy! I look forward to future instruction from Jordan on my way to proficiency. I have no doubt he will get me there! Thanks again for everything!”

“Nick is the best. He did in 20 minutes what I couldn’t do 6 in hours over a 2 day period. If I have any issues with MSFS in the future, I will be giving Nick a call.”

“Omg don’t know how I would ever get this sim going,(mapped ) Jordan was great he knew exactly what to do and knew exactly what I was talking about. I’m so thankful that you are out here doing this helping us 65-year-olds lol computer challenge. I can’t thank you enough as well worth the money. Thank you now I can enjoy the flight sim so whoever is reading this this is well worth the money and time that you’ll spend on it trying to fix it yourself five stars you will not be disappointed”

“Arjun is an amazing instructor. Each session he has taught me a new skill that my in person instructors decided to teach in a superficial way. He has been a literal game changer for me on crosswind landings, right downwind spacing, steep turns, stabilized approach and more.”

“Tech session exceeded all expectations, Jordan was incredibly knowledgeable and professional, he understood my end goals very quickly and pointed me in the right direction for sensible hardware solutions. Having someone who is a pilot flying the same planes as me was incredibly helpful, looking forward to working with him to really get the most out of my flight sim training”

“I have been a cyber pilot for 30+ years flying Microsoft Flight Simulator. I have lost count of the number of hair-pulling, expletive fuelled moments I have experienced over the years attempting to make an aircraft or controller operate properly. I had almost reached the point of retiring from flying as YouTube instructional videos (while occasionally useful), just could not answer my technical questions and thus solve my problems. Then I discovered Flight Sim Coach. In an hour and a half session with Jordan Gottfried he solved ALL of the issues I was struggling with. Jordan is incredibly knowledgeable, articulate, personable and professional. In our first session he tidied up MSFS 2024. I intend to do a follow-up session with Jordan to address some issues with MSFS 2020. If you are being driven stark raving MAD spending hour after futile hour attempting to get your flight simulator to work correctly, then obtain immediate relief with Flight Sim Coach. Believe me, it is money WELL SPENT! Thank you Flight Sim Coach and especially thank you Jordan Gottfried.”
