I spent over a dozen years flying into hurricanes as a weather officer with the 53rd Weather Recon Squadron (aka the Hurricane Hunters). The scenery around 6:10 does look like the inside of an eye, with the wall of storms, but in real life most hurricanes don't have a lot of lightning. Typically it's storms that are rapidly strengthening or weakening that produce a lot of bolts. Rita back in 2005 was like that - we watched in the eye as lightning rippled through the eyewall from our 10 o'clock all the way around to about our 3 o'clock. All the while, a full moon was shining down on us in the clear skies of the eye. Hell of an impressive sight.
@@MOTOBLADE I just flawn a couple of times in my life and the second time we had to perform an emergency landing because a little girl caught some allergic reaction and was very bad so the pilot went pedal to the metal since our destination was the nearest place and we arrived a hour earlier, I was chilling up to that point because the emergency lights turned on and all of sudden there was a ton of turbulence and everything was shaking like if the plane was about to break in half, even the dinning cart got free from its position and ran free through the walkway for a while, when we landed there was the fire department and ambulances waiting for us in the runway and I don't know what happened to the girl after that, it was quite of an experience for a newbie flight passenger, at the end of all I could chat with the pilot for a bit and she was like "another day, another dollar" and told me that that kind of things are common in jer job like if it was nothing, I just couldn't but shake her hand in respect of the kind of shit pilots have to get used to, she also let me to walk into the cockpit to take a photo in her sit, the best photo I ever taken in my life indeed.
In real life….. A few years ago I was a passenger in one of my employer’s B300 King Air, flying into Tampa at night. Both pilots on this flight were just not very experienced. While Airliners were diverting about 30 miles around some massive wx systems, our genius pilots decided to continue on the same route and fly through them. It was the worst flight I’ve ever experienced in my life and I’m a pilot for a living. I thought the airplane was going to literally break apart in flight. When we landed, I did a little research and a long story short, I discovered that my pilots chose to fly through two massive and semi-overlapping towering cumulonimbus monsters. ATC was diverting everyone else around these beasts, but our dummies thought “what could go wrong?” They straight up discounted and shrugged off the severity of the soon to be “situation.” I swore to my employer and the two fellow pilots that I would never again fly with them as PIC ever again. They ignored all of the signs and precursors to dangerous flying conditions involving wx. Fail.
Is there not some system in place to start upscaling a complaint when that happens? Surely this constitutes putting lives at risk if they ignored two separate warnings and thought: “fuck it”?
@@jasemo388 They will continue the dangerous behavior until they get SUPER complacent and forget to turn on de-icing / anti-icing one day and will get themselves and any passengers aboard killed.
You mean you are not supposed to see that at any airport. Uh Oh... No the spirit of MFS is when you are clipping buildings and trees, or when you crash into a building that just popped up in front of you.
Flying in smaller planes low and slow with VR is whole other level too. I've flown small airplanes some, and it captures the feeling of it better than anything I've ever seen.
When you see the runway come out of the darkness it looks like he is about to nose dive right into it. I was impressed he got it leveled out so quickly while keeping it stable, and then for a second I thought he was hovering over touchdown for a little too much runway but realized he was just making sure he was stable and on center before buttering it down the last 20 or 30 ft. Real skill.
@@Lobstersarefabulouz Not a pilot, but from watching enough of these it's that he was only 500 feet from the ground which is EXTREMELY close, and still had NO runway visibility. His "OMG there it is. Well, we're landing." when he finally sees the runway kinda sums it up. He had almost no time to react and thankfully he wasn't descending too quickly because it could've gone very bad very fast.
I remember when I was younger, I was flying to Maine with my dad during the summer. Upon the last 30 minutes or so we had flown right into a storm, I don't remember if it got terribly turbulent, but I thought it was so pretty to every now and then see the sky light up around us. And I just sat facing the window while listening to my MP3 player (My dad who was still Active Duty Airforce at the time just slept right through it until we landed XD) The most turbulent flight I had ever been on was with my mom (retired Airforce vet) and it was clear ass skies, not a damn cloud in sight XD...for a woman who literally spent more than 10 years in the sky, she said it was by far one of the scariest she had ever been on...we have always avoided that route afterwards.
I love this game. Never played any flight sim. Have been playing this for 200 hours for the past 2 years. Went on a real sim with a pilot instructor last week on a Boeing sim. Sure extreme situations are difficult, but regular situations are managable, with no flight training. Very realistic and comparable.
Your content is always on point, man. Beginning had me rolling, but the best part goes to OshKosh subtitles autocorrecting to OshCock and 4 seconds of Sandstorm LOL!
I've been through some nasty storms sir, but never seen lightning INSIDE the cabin. Some bad weather but completely buttered that bread as (mostly) always
Wow That runway out of no where! I just picked up the FS Academy IFR training and im happy with the quality of the instruction. It has taught me VOR/NBD Nav, something MSFS 2020 does not do out of the box. Picked it up for 15 and its worth at 30. Going to be practicing more of these for sure.
My husband and I accidentally flew into a thunder storm that didn't show up on our storm scope over Grande Rapids in a Piper Saratoga. Fortunately we had already slowed down to maneuvering speed when we hit a violent updraft that almost flipped the plane inverted followed by rain so intense it sounded as if the outside of our plane was being sandblasted. We immediately reversed course, contacted the tower and landed in Grande Rapids airport where we spent the night.
Fucking hell! That sounds like my nightmare. I have a fear of heights, but I'm hell-bent on becoming a pilot anyway. I've taken an introductory lesson before and somehow jumping out of an airplane twice was more comforting than hitting an air pocket in a small plane and feeling like you're falling out of the sky.
Man... the a330 getting chased down by a cirrus then proceeding to lawn dart into the ground and the inverted aircraft at the ramp spinning really makes it seem like the spirit of FSX Steam edition is still out there
0:06 "It's currently mating season for airplanes. Males are much smaller than the female, and as a result, they must work hard to chase her if their want to successfully mate before the season is over."
This is actually one of the first times I've finished a full "gaming" video without skipping though..great content there are moments when I forgot you're not actually flying...looks like so much fun..
The lightning "inside" your cabin may have been simulating the retinal imprint or afterimage from the brightness of the bolt, which could look like a dim bolt inside the cabin.
what amazes me about watching these is the cursing and all that with the ATC is pretty accurate to how ATC convos go from those clips I see all over YT with real ATC convos.
MSFS2020 is so realistic. Just like real-world massive convective cells, there is no turbulence inside of them whatsoever in the simulation. How Microsoft managed to faithfully replicate this is beyond me. Then again, I don't understand much of anything unless someone uses Crayons and draws a picture.
8:32 - 8:33 - 8:38 - 8:39 "More scary was your absolute butter landing...!!! :):):):) "The landing was more scary/exciting than the storm... You held it so nicely!
I have no idea why I watch those videos- I'm not a pilot, I haven't traveled by plane for a long time, I don't play flight simulator, I have nothing to do with aviation or piloting. I guess this is just super cool to watch.
I dont know about flying, only been on a plane once. I just love how the community enjoys this game and it seems so accurate to what you guys experience. Also the visuals are breathtaking.
I love your sense of humour and the shenanigins in earlier videos when you flew with other guys - aircraft carrier et al. Just a very gentle expression of dissapointment with the latest run of videos which are concentrating on flights. I am am well aware that other people like them but for me they don't hold a candle to the brilliant entertainment of hot air ballons doing mach 3!! Here's hoping you will be inclined to give us some of the stuff which totally deserved lols.
I'm gonna have to cite you. There isn't enough wonderbread in the universe for all the butter in that stupendously badass landing. I have a number for you to call. Advise when ready to copy.
2:40 this is the most annoying thing about msfs at the moment. Me and my friends will be trying to do a cool formation with some things like the f-35 and an f-18 but for some reason it shows the F18 as a large airbus. Looks dumb as hell. I hope Microsoft fixes this in the future.
all things considered that approach and landing was well done. the apprehension when you know you're nearing the ground but still can't see it is pretty something. i was on i think it was a twin otter, the airline was running almost like a bus service between thunder bay and winnipeg, stopping at a bunch of small towns along the way. it was a wind storm and all you could hear was the stall buzzer as the plane was buffering up and down coming in to land at small runway after small runway. it was pretty intense.
It's not about watching videos and wasting your time on strategies, I was ignorant doing so. So I decided to try Mrs sofia and ever since then she's has made about $14,000 for on every $5,000 I invested just
Imagine you're on a trans- pacific flight, it's night and it's during at T Storm. The captain forgets he left the passenger/cabin PA system on and the entire plane gears 08:13 LOL!
This is getting so realistic that sooner or later you're can just fool everyone and tell them you're actually flying. Edit: Just saw the spinning upside down airplane, I take back my previous comment.
Damn that was really fun to watch dude, do you think you could do a A330 strong wind landing into Wellington, NZ 🇳🇿 my home city? 🙏 I’d love to see thanks mate !
This gane always interest me, I would love to play it but 1: I only have a joystick and not the whole gear, 2: it looks WAAAAAAAY more complicated than I thought I guess the word Simulator should have warned me
Just keep watching AFP and you'll get there. He inspired me to study the way that pilots and ATC talk to each other and now I listen in on LAX just to practice my literacy with it. Look up FlightInSight if you want to just learn about piloting.
