And to even maximize the realism when back inside I take my piece of baguette with butter, cheese, bacon and one piece of salad out of the refrigerator. I prepared it the other day and wrapped it into a clear plastic film in order to give it that squashy, rubbery and a bit wet texture. Mmmhhh. Tastes like right out of the trolley. 😂
There’s nothing like simulating a delay. While waiting for your virtual aircraft to arrive at the gate due to the last crew getting in late, sit on your kitchen floor with a dead cell phone!
As a new sim pilot currently enjoying the experience on the xbox - I really enjoy watching your videos, and I must say your your videos never fail to impress. Your content is truly exceptional. Great Job Captain!
Flew back to Manchester on G-RUKA a couple of months ago and the PMDG is a very accurate rendition. In saying that though, on landing a stream of water runs out from behind the window trim at the row 17 emergency exit door and soaks your leg; this isn’t modelled by PMDG, ruining the (quite literal) immersion somewhat…. 😉
I occasionally bring up Flightradar24 on a separate laptop, pick a departure somewhere and fly the flight in real time from stand to stand in my virtual cockpit, in sync with the live flight. Adds another level of realism !
There is a regular Cargolux flight between my home airport (Budapest) and Luxembourg every Sunday afternoon. I sometimes fly the same route at the same time, and watch the real plane pass my home as I'm also taking off in the simulator.
To make it more realistic, I don't flair when landing. Just set the pitch to 3 degrees nose up around 1000ft agl and let it slam into the pavement at whatever -fpm you're currently at lol
Wow this is super super helpful, i joined a few VAs on vamsys and they usually got all the flights layed out but you cant filter by plane and i always wanted to do a realistic route, this helps me alot so cool to see all the destinations this 1 plane does
I also use Flightradar24 for this kind of planning. I'm just a little nerdier with it. I look at my list of Aircraft Liveries and which registration they have and then I look for the registration in FR24 to find out what the real aircraft is scheduled to do. I must say though that I have the distinct feeling that there needs to be stronger restrictions on working hours. If I see a crew doing 10 hour shifts, my skin starts to crawl. I don't want pilots working up until the absolutely allowed legal maximum. Their responsibilities are much too high. The limit should be reduced to 8 hours.
I'm getting back into FS again after about 20 years away. This is one of the most useful videos I've seen because I am looking to do just this (simulate Ryanair, Easyjet and BA operations out of London across Europe). I have 3 questions which you may have answered in another video somewhere, but if not, it would be great to have videos on this. 1) Does Simbrief auto generate the appropriate runways, SIDs and STARS for the weather and timing you set? 2) How can you alter the flight plan waypoints within Simbrief? (i.e. can you match what the actual plane did?) and 3) What's the next step for loading the plan into the PMDG 737, getting it programmed into the FMC and bringing up the correct charts?
Hi, glad to hear you like the video! Let me answer your questions: 1) No, simbrief does not generate appropriate runways. I'd recommend to check FlightRadar24 to see which runways they use in real life at the time. 2) Simbrief by default has routes which are sometimes alright, sometimes not. My favorite source for real life routes is edi-gla.co.uk. You can copy/paste their routes into simbrief. They often have real life routes available for many flights. 3) I'd recommend you to check out my Boeing 737 tutorial series, I went over everything in there.
If your at Stansted to make extra realism make sure you ask for a weight change at the last possible moment once passengers are boarded and get the stand wrong ;)
Surprised you didn’t cover the flexible MTOW thing that Ryanair use as it seems a pretty unique part of their operation. A bit of pain to do in Simbrief, though it’s built into VPT.
Very nice video! Is there a way to determine from flight radar's 24 ''play'' function in little more deetail the various climb / descend altitudes received from ATC, as also the shortcuts and vectors so we can simulate by ourselves the ATC for that flight?
Is it really the most authentic Ryanair experience if you’re not sitting in the right seat sounding like Ralph Wiggum “ha ha I’m in danger” because you’re a few minutes behind schedule and the the captain is taxing so fast RAAS is screaming “ON TAXIWAY ON TAXIWAY” the entire time.
I recorded them five days ago when I had a couple days time. That's how I usually do it. Right now I'm actually at my new airlines training center doing my fourth day of A330 sim Training.
Fantastic.. a few extra tips for the ultimate realism. Ask your wife not to cook u dinner the day of your simulated flight.. not even water. Ask her to talk to you with a strong Irish accent disrespectfully and letting you know that if you don’t like it you can “F**** off and that’s the door”. Wile you perform your virtual flight you have to make sure you leave the gate seriously late and more important of all you have to smack the plane on the runway as hard as you can when you land. And finally go to the nearest ATM machine and withdraw most of your money and give them to your boss, just to feel abused, underestimated, worthless and miserable. Now enjoy the full Ryanair experience. As real as it gets. 😊 (sorry for being a troll, couldn’t resist it)
Hi, regarding the Simbrief Aircraft profile for PMDG 737-800 RyanAir Setup. Apart from changing passengers to 189. Did you change any weights of the Aircraft on the profile e.g. Empty weight, ZFW, Max fuel capacity, Max take of weight ? Thank you
10:15 in the "Airline" field iv always put in the flight number initials.... in ryanairs case "FR" or say in Jet2 would be "LS" ... have i been doing that bit wrong this whole time 😢
Nice video Emi, thank you. However, it’s too bad that you don’t display vRYR or talk about VAs. VAs are there to improve realism and immersion, especially regarding flight operations.
Hi Em, really enjoying your videos mate! In regards to cargo/freight, how would you go about working out where it goes, i.e. AFT or FWD holds? Do you just divide the number between both holds? e.g. 700kg total cargo, 350kg into AFT and FWD.
Randomly, the callsign is checked against anything with a similar call sign through a Euro control checker so that ideally there shouldn't be any similar call signs close to one another at the same time to avoid call sign confusion.
Hallo. Ich hab eine Frage: warum fliegt ein echter Pilot gerne mit einer Airline im Simulator die einen sehr schlechten Ruf hat, meist junge unerfahrene billige Piloten einsetzt, seine Kunden mit Gebühren über den Tisch zieht und der Eigner ein offensichtlich unsympathisches Ekelpaket ist Werbung ? Dazu noch eine billig Airline. Gibt es nicht andere etwas sympathischere Airlines ? Ich für meinen Teil sehe mir so etwas nicht gerne an und möchte es auch nicht unterstützen. Als Konsument können wir nur mit unserem Konsum etwas verändern. viele Grüße und danke für die sehr vielen, tollen und lehrreichen Videos.
Dieser "sehr schlechte Ruf" ist allen voran ein Internet-Ding, befeuert von einigen Leuten, die heutzutage mit einem Gehalt unter dem Lufthansa KTV nicht zufrieden sind. Ryanair hat eines der besten Pilot Training Departments der Welt. Die Standards in den Ryanaircockpits sind vorbildlich. Müssen sie auch sein, denn bei 3000 Flügen täglich ist die rein statistische Wahrscheinlichkeit für einen Unfall höher als bei kleineren Airlines und wie Du schon sagst, hat Ryanair tendenziell junge Copiloten. Aber wie man an der Unfallstatistik sieht, ist das Sicherheitsniveau exzellent. "Billig" sind deren Piloten auch nicht, ein Ryanair Skipper in Deutschland verdient das gleiche wie sein Eurowings Kollege und mehr als die Kollegen bei der ein oder anderen deutschen Airline, sogar mehr als bei mehreren Airlines der Lufthansa Group. Am "mit Gebühren über den Tisch ziehen" war vielleicht vor 20 Jahren etwas dran, heutzutage aber nicht mehr. Klar, das Konzept ist einfach: Du bezahlst nur das, was Du auch willst. Also musst Du dir vorher Gedanken machen, was Du willst. Aber so ist es doch mittlerweile bei fast jeder Airline, selbst bei den großen Legacyairlines musst Du schauen, was Du willst und das entsprechend buchen. Auch bei einer Lufthansa zahlst Du bei Übergepäck drauf oder zahlst für eine Sitzplatzreservierung. Am Konzept Billigairline ist auch erstmal nichts auszusetzen. Als Kunde muss man wissen, was man will und dann entsprechend buchen. Billig ist nichts für dich? Flieg Lufthansa. Überhaupt kein Problem. Die Geschäftszahlen Ryanairs zeigen allerdings, dass Billig sehrwohl für viele Leute etwas ist. Und solange es nicht zulasten der Sicherheit geht, sehe ich da auch überhaupt kein Problem mit. Solange können alle beteiligten ja selbst entscheiden, ob sie da mitmachen wollen, oder nicht. ------------------------ Was ich hingegen nicht verstehe, ist wieso Du glaubst Ryanair damit zu unterstützen, wenn Du meine Videos schaust. Das ist ein Computerspiel, Ryanair bekommt nicht einen Cent hierdurch. Und ich wage stark zu bezweifeln, dass es einen in irgendeiner Weise messbaren Einfluss auf Ryanairs Ticketverkäufe - oder die von irgendeiner anderen Airline - hat, wenn ich auf diesem Channel eine bestimmte Livery fliege. Tatsächlich ist es sogar so, dass Ryanair ihren Piloten ausdrücklich verbietet Aufnahmen aus den echten Cockpits zu machen und auf Social Media zu teilen. Die wollen solche "Werbung" nichtmals. Wenn dir das nicht gefällt, tut es mir Leid, aber daran wird sich nichts ändern. Daran kann sich auch nichts ändern, ich kann ja mein Gedächtnis nicht löschen. Was Du hier auf dem Channel siehst, ist zu einem großen Teil geprägt vom Ryanair PTD. Und das ist für mich etwas sehr gutes, denn genau das macht die Videos so lehrreich ;-)
Not even close to the " Ryan Air " experience , need to have multiple delays , should have done a sketchy low transition into an unrestricted takeoff at 5,000 fmp climb , forgetting to turn on cabin pressure for more than half of the cruise and then diving last min to eventually never find the glide slope or an acceptable decent rate and then finally landing around 800 fpm on touchdown and about 1000 feet past the touchdown markers, slightly bottoming out the suspension and causing all the children and old ladies on the flight to scream at the top of their lungs upon touching down , lets take another 20 min to taxi to the gate , clearly lost af ... and then finally slamming on the brakes , causing most of the passengers to get mild whiplash . THIS is the Ryan Air experience .... 100% facts and true
