Building GIANT Flying Cruise Ships in Flyout 

Did you hear the news that modernized Catalinas are planned to go back into production? And they've already got contracts, people are already planning to buy them. They have both military and civilian plans. Depending on how well it does, we may see a new renaissance for flying boats! Imagine if other companies see the Catalinas blow up the market and realize there very much is still a very profitable market for flying boats, and more new designs start popping up again. That's a dream for me.

I have a feeling that Messier is gonna be KSP's Matt Lowne and Scott Manley of Flyout

You are making my desire to make flying boats in Flyout 100x more feel justified Messier... So just thanks for that!

You keep making these so engaging yet so easy to play in the background. This is true skill.

I love the turret blisters converted to observation windows. Basically she is a big PBY Catalina

I’m so happy that the game is finally coming out

Seen this on the DC very excited to watch this masterpiece be built.

Sick, I was hoping that you'd be able to make flying boats in this game. I loved making seaplane fighter jets in Simpleplanes. Also it has to be said that your ability to make interiors on these bigger aircraft is insane. Great job.

The great thing about flyout is that it doesn't model stress concentrations and material fatigue, meaning your windows can effectively be as large and pointy as you'd want, especially with that large panoramic viewing window in the rear.

I open youtube and this was posted 18 seconds ago lol

RIP Flying Boats, I love seeing old black & white documentaries about then when I was young...

ah, a b-36 style bugeye cockpit

God i love flying boats and floatplanes. This comes from a big, big love of porco rosso, but they're probably my favorite kind plane.

This is my comfort RU-vid now :)

Rex’s Hanger? This is the greatest crossover of 2023.

Love it, I have a soft spot for flying boats. My one critique is that it's honestly too small. Real examples like the Latécoére 631 were tall enough that you could stand up just about anywhere. Also missing a shower given that this thing's probably gonna be flying for an entire day on some routes. Those bubbles and lounge are a plus, though. Luxury of a zeppelin, speed of an airplane.

This is great Messier! You always make very engaging content, and this plane looks incredible, honestly, I'm surprised your able to get videos out as quickly as you do, so a little bit of a wait in between videos is probably perfectly fine with most of us. But thanks, I will 100% be buying flyout the day it comes out, and only because of you do I know it exists so thank you.

Love it! Especially the first class "blister" lounge!

I think it would be cool to see you make a medium-sized private jet (Challenger 650 sized) and giving it a super detailed interior

I want to put these on to go to sleep but I find myself just watching the whole thing. This man is single-handedly ruining my sleep schedule.

Gorgeous plane, nice work bro! I also love the alt-history of flying boats being the mainstay of civil aviation; though in retrospect maybe it’s best we developed all those runways on land, I can’t swim lol

I'm looking forward to Friday release of Flyout.

Before WW2, there were some insane concepts for truly impressive flying boats. The youtuber Mustard covered a concept I believe. WW2's mass deployment of people making airstrips everywhere did a lot to make the future of the true "skyliner" not come to fruition. Its an interesting thought on what-ifs. Side note, what if you tried reproducing something from the Disney Animated series, Tailspin?

You should make a ground effect aircraft (commercial or cargo or a moving SAM platform)

Absolutely beautiful design!

With a range of over 10K miles, "Albatross" is a very apt name! I see the dihedral right at the fuselage, but I was wondering: are the wings slightly anhedral after that point?

What a beautiful airframe! Amazing work

This channel is so amazing! Constant creative designs :) I can't wait for the game release tomorrow! (at the time of writing)

Amazing! Really love watching your videos

yo I've always wanted flying boats to make a come back but I guess I'll have to settle for Flyout

Would be awesome for a full on vip version of this, like almost a flying house, with a bed room, living room etc.

Amazing work, hope to see more civilian aircrafts.

Love this video, and would like more flying boat designs in the future!

A video idea for the future could be to build an aircraft to win a Schneider cup like event in the flyout universe

Holy crap this is a sick design! Can you do a like 300 passenger supersonic or possibly hypersonic aircraft

That is truly beautiful. i would fly in that

you should of made one of the side pods an f16 style bubble canopy like those old 1950s Landseaire PBY Catalinas, i think it would really completed the luxury look, Calum has an excellent video about them if you want to know more

AMAZINGNES!!! Cool to finnaly see the whole map!

Backstory and design so good that I had to search up if your aircraft were real.

Good job on interior.. u are setting good standards for us before the game releases

40k already, congrats man well deserved!

Your best project so far. It deserves some military versions, as transport (civilian too), AWACS, anti-ship, anti-sub, gunship, bomber and maybe an air refueler. Cheers!

Hey man, hope you get better! Really like the boat/plane too

Hey I always love this stuff man keep it up!

This was a great video Keep up the great work and I hope you feel better

Sheeeeesh LONG LIVE DRACOVIA!!!

I love how that looks!

Well, you've done it again Messier! Your videos have once more made my day. Whether I watch the full video to see how you made it and all the design issues, or I zone out and listen to your calming voice describe the process along with the chilled-out music in the background. You truly are a master of your craft and every time I need to relax, I put on one of your videos. So thank you, and continue to make such entertaining content.

Ahhh Messier! You’ve done it again! Absolutely awesome aircraft! Love your video’s dude

Awesome description of the future of Float Planes!

Nice, keep up the amazing content!

Looks like a mixture of Tupolev 95 and Consolidated PBY Catalina 😉

Watching your channel grow so fast is awesome. I can’t remember how long I’ve been here but I remember watching some of your first videos if memory serves; at the very least you were still a pretty small channel. Keep it up man Also I can see this being more of a private aircraft, like the larger private jets people like drake have

the plane itself looks great, but the interior could get some upgrades. for starters I like your idea of giving everyone cubicles, like trains, the problem is the weight balance, not sure how you would fix that, since there is not enough space for cubicles on both sides. also you probably want the dinning areas as close as possible to the center of lift because its the area with less turbulence, so people can eat comfortably even in turbulent weather. or on the other hand, you want the beds there, so people can sleep without vomiting. the kitchen is way too big, you could probably have like 10 cooks there and stock enough food for a week. you are also missing the crew sleeping area, so maybe you could reduce the size of the kitchen and use it as a sleeping area for the crew.

Keep up the work!

I love this guy idky i just love him. The videos are 10/10 keep it up i wanna see your imagination create some truly cool planes

If you're talking about a luxury airliner then you could also assume that they might develop a noise cancelling system for the engines, similar to how noise cancelling headphones work. It'd almost certainly weigh less than a bunch of insulation(which isn't saying much, since that insulation would likely be puffy foam) and it would provide a better experience which is what the selling point of a luxury aircraft would be.

Day 7 of asking Messier to make an Ekranoplan or a cargo GEV (We’re getting so close)

It's such an awesome game! Unfortunately, no mouse control. The one thing I and others expected to control our planes. Hopefully in the next update there will be so! Tip 1: Hotkey options: Can't combine hotkeys (Shift + 1) Just one number/letter Tip 2: Not enough controls: I can only control collective pitch, gearbox, lights, with a very limited amount of options. Would be great if all those things were in the list of Controls TIP 3 (Visual): I noticed the PropellerPitch visualisation doesn't work when it's controlled manually... I hear the prop change pitch but the visual of the prop (starting with fine pitch) is the same. Except when selected Feather. Then it shows the prop change pitch. That's it for so far. So much potential in this game! I can't complain.

@messier82ac you know what would be cool? a giant military ekranoplan you know like that russian KM or lun but made even bigger

I love these videos so much

your building skills have improved drastically since the last stealth plane you made, pls re-attempt

Damn man, when I started watching you were at like 15k subs, keep up the great work :)

My man, can u try to make the Curtiss Wright xp-71? It's a big heavy fighter with one 75mm in the nose abd two 37mm, also in the nose. I find it that is a very bizarre and fascinating plane, although is a shame that was never built a prototype, so can you satisfied my curiosity?

Definitely looks more like a flying boat that Convair would build.

This seems so real

Ok this is a information type explanation and massive detail

Can't wait for flyout to come out in 2 days, this game looks so fucking nicee

lets say hypothetically theres some sort of emergency aboard the aircraft while passengers are sleeping with very well made earplugs/muffs. in this hypothetical situation, would you have a VERY loud alarm aboard the aircraft to give the passengers time to brace/otherwise prepare, or would you forgoe an alarm system entirely to reduce panic. perhaps just a quieter alarm system specifically for the crew?

I thought Zeppelins were the old flying boats...(?) Oh! Well, ok...take-off & landing from the water; not the large, luxurious, versatile take-off, landing, & docking airships that were awesome until the Hindenburg had to ruin the whole concept for us all. It would be cool though if dirigibles were a part of Flyout; it'd be interesting to try out hybrid aircraft...

It’s like an AN-225 and a PBY Catalina had a drunken night together, and this was the result.

"the plane is the last letter in luxury" As in: "why?" I like the way you think

Loved it,it was awesome

it would be pretty cool to have a “budget” aircraft made by this company aimed at making water/air travel as cheap and efficient as humanly possible without being a glorified flying coffin. basically a version marketed at small travel companies/private use

I think you need a second channel where you just have the planes autopilot until they run out of fuel. No VO, probably no music. Not me wanting a 8 hour vid of the glider :) but it would be cool to see them just fly and eventually at the end they just run out of fuel and fall out of the sky. Or attempt to land.

I was really hoping that flying boats would be possible in flyout! Its probably what I will try to build first.

I think you forgot to give the pilots a bed. tow pilots probably aren’t enough for a flight that long but great plane non or less

I love your vids m82!! Could you possibly do a tutorial for us less knowledgeable on propellor engines please?

This is actually a dope idea

I'm sad because I'm not gonna be able to play flyout when it comes out:(, I have so many ideas.

Still waiting for that flying football stadium. Jkjkjk. Doing great bro!

13:37 The advert for the Albatross

ITS OUT YAAAAAAAY

Is the flyout world different for each player or the same for everyone?

LFG

It would be cool if you made the billionaires pleasure yacht version of this plane. Instead of being a cruise ship it’s a smaller personal plane capable of carrying a group of maybe 8-12 in the sky in the most extreme luxury possible for extreme durations, without utilizing exotic technology like nuclear turbines. It could use solar power and hydrogen fuel cells. It would even have an retractable helipad. It would be so cool to have a swimming pool where the bottom is a transparent material, so you feel like you’re swimming through the sky.

First off, we don't have to get the albatross (name comes from the Albatross Company, a German company that used to make military aircraft during WW1 and WW2) cause modernized PBY Catalinas are gonna be planned to go back into production

Nicely done. Are you planning to create your version of the Spruce Goose?

Still only about half the size of the actually built Roe-Saunders Princess, and a tenth of the size of the hypothetical Queen :) NEEDS TO BE BIGGER!

Fellas, pack it up. We’ve been Brabazon’d.

I think a cool idea would be a something like a B777 but with 4 engines Basically highly fuel efficient and fast but with 4 engines

Could you please do the same however in reverse, create a C-5 (AC-5) Galaxy Super Gunship!🙏👍 The C-17 and B-52 and of course something of your own design!

so basically the Latécoère, but bigger and more modern

it looks like a passenger, turboprop, sea version of the an225

also can you add a banana- i mean f-5 for scale

Looking at the proppunk map, even tho theres the same amount of water navies dont seem like they would function the same since the oceans are not interconnected the way ours is. Im really curious how this would change maritime shipping and naval war practices.

It looks great, Militarize it.

Bro, should make a sun orbital scouting craft and or boats and subs.

noice bro noice

are you a freaking aeronautical engineer!!!!
