Great addition.  This should help the new folks.

That said, some constructive suggestions:
1.  In the video about the Hangar, the titling is misspelled.  It reads "Hanger" but should be spelled "Hangar".
2.  The videos are short and to the point (that's great!)  However, the mouse cursor movement as the narrator speaks is difficult to follow and relate to the narration--this will be especially so for people who are unfamiliar with the game UI to begin with.  I would recommend re-recording the videos using a dedicated screencasting/screen recorder software that's intended for tutorials.  A very good one is Camtasia Studio (~$199).  https://www.techsmith.com/video-editor.html (https://www.techsmith.com/video-editor.html).  Using its screen recording option, it allows you to highlight the mouse as you move it during recording, making it a good tool for software tutorials like these.  The second benefit of Camtasia Studio is that it is a very good video editor in its own right, so you can record and then edit with the same software tool.  I use it all the time in my work and swear by it.

FWIW,

if you delete the file newuserno.cfg each video will play the first time you do some thing like enter the hangar.

Thanks, Fixed.

Excellent addition for new players. I don't hope, I know this will help with retention of the 2 week trial accounts.
