Melting My Brain at LAX | Tower! Simulator 3 

At the "China Air Cargo Go to hell" I start laughing so much!😂😂

SO fun!!! I am a recently retired Air Traffic Controller. I worked the DC-PHL-NYC (Washington ARTCC) corridor for 35 years. Retirement is great!!! Love your video Jeff.

I work at GRR as ground crew supervisor (GOA) for WN, NV (Alleigant Air) and Frontier. I know the feeling of brain melting hah. I hope you have or had a great Christmas Jeff. Have a happy new years. The way you sounded frustrated is.. relatable lmao.

I love watching the descent into madness. The normally calm and stoic Jeff spiraling quickly into insanity. You earned your like today good sir.

I have huge respect for people who can pull this off in real life, very stressful and 0 room for error.

BR in a METAR is mist, not broken. 3 cloud layers, few (1/8 - 2/8 coverage) at 800', scattered (3/8 -4/8 coverage) at 4500' and overcast (8/8 coverage) at 5000'. Haven't watch all this yet, but I will. LAX is tough to handle alone, I'm sure you'll do much better than I would. EDIT: watched it, that was rough. voice rec is brutal when you're busy. It is way to busy to do solo. One thing that might help you though, it might be my imagination, but it seems that CROSS RUNWAY 24L gets the plane moving across the runway much faster than CONTINUE TAXI. This command is new with TS3. I've also gotten into the habit of issuing CLEARED FOR TAKEOFF UPON REACHING ALTITUDE 1000 CONTACT DEPARTURE. Saves one full communication. Well done on an impossible task.

Could you imagine taxiing to take off and ATC had realized there’s too much traffic so you’re just deleted and in the abyss? 😂😂😂 great video Jeff!!

39:38 the Meltdown begins!🤣

Jeff if their call sign has heavy in it, you have to say it or it won't recognize what your saying. IE China cargo 396 HEAVY. I just figured that out yesterday after having a meltdown

Really enjoying you play these simulator games. I hope you’ll feel better soon as well. The flu isn’t very fun to have. Keep up the great work and have a great rest of the year Jeff!

Awesome content. Love this ATC stuff. I’m fascinated at how much goes on. Would love to see more of it. Multiplayer sounds fun to watch. Especially if we the viewers get to see all positions.

Yay! Love these videos! You do great work Jeff! Hope you had a Merry Christmas and a happy 2023

This game must be absolutely fantastic in VR

I tried LAX. My brain DID melt in about five minutes. If you reduce the call sign tags when things get hectic it’s easier to see all of them.

Air Traffic Controller: High suicide Rate Jeff - “This is fun”

Funny you got the flu I just got it a few days ago

Glad your feeling better jeff and a Merry Christmas getting my first gaming pc in March with a 32 inch curved monitor and bought ats much love man thanks for all the years of entertainment and a happy new year

Love this Jeff! My video doing the same thing at KLAX came out today as well - glad to see I'm not the only one that thinks you have to be mental to go it alone ahaha! Great fun to watch though!

Oh Man as soon as I saw LAX I knew this was gonna be a tough one. Another great Video Jeff. Good to hear you guys are turning the corner with the Flu!

16:47 Jeff going all out JFK on that Delta there.

This is awesome Jeff! I'm an LAX based cargo pilot. Feels pretty accurate haha! When we have to park in that ICC area with... everyone else it really makes a massive mess. We've had to wait over an hour to pushback because of the traffic in and out of there before.

If you another video about this game, you have to do my fathers former workplace, Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ)

Epic video Jeff! I had Flu A last week and it was terrible. Worst experience for me to end 2022, but I feel way better now. My brother had Flu B which is less severe than Flu A.

I tried this airport, at like 25 percent, and it was still super tricky!! Esp with weather turned on and planes not wanting to land certain directions… such a fun game tho, hoping to find people to play online with soon!! Maybe we can all tackle this one!!

Love these videos Jeff! Just started at SWA as an FO. Happy New Year, keep the videos coming!

Very interesting game and merry Christmas

Jeff i'm glad that you are feeling much better!❤

Really enjoyed this and am looking forward to seeing some multiplayer on this one as well.

For the larger aircraft, after saying their callsign, you're supposed to say "Heavy" or "Super" in order to get it to work.

Thanks Jeff, great help in deciding if I'm going to purchase this or not. For now i will stick with my Tower 3D pro.

This game and you are golden combination!

Always enjoy your videos after a long day

This game episode is major crazy to handle as a 1 man job. You have real patience, I would have left all of them to crash or go away and never come back LOL.

This looks fun but stressful 😂 looking forward to more

I love this series

Aahh yes yes..I see you're a man of culture Jeff..lol I mess around with Tower! 3D Pro. I gotta say, obviously, this one looks a lot better, and fun. Love the content Mr Famingo👀🤘🏻

China cargo truly melting your brain gave me the laugh I needed today, thanks for that!

Thank you for playing this game Jeff

Love the vid jeff

Hope you feel better!

Yep totally stuffs your brain especially when your trying to do it "right" .. There are short cuts which I think would be appropriate trying to do LA and New York. Thanks for the video.

Great video love your content so much your my fav RU-vidr

That flu hit pretty hard. I’ve been out for two weeks straight. Glad you’re doing good

Good video Jeff very busy game looks like

39:40 lol China Cargo made you lose it

Glad you're feeling better Jeff

Great video Jeff! I find it amazing that people would do this sim for fun when it's considered the most stressful jobs out there. I'm new to all this and was wondering if you had to call out barometer before every takeoff?

For future reference! BR on the metar means Mist! Best way to remember it is thinking it as “baby rain” love this vids and content!

This...this is awesome.

Jeff awesome video if you could do a series on this game and showcase multiple airports on this game and if you could have an episode showcase kansas city international Airport id appreciate it

That Alaska flight sounded like chief from Arby and the chief 😂😂😂😂

I hate it too when the voice don't work right but you have me cracking up😂

Cheap entertainment 😀Good show man.

Holy smokes this was intense lol

watching this makes u appreciate ATC

Bahahaha. Sorry Jeff, but this was the most I've laughed at a RU-vid video in a while! 😁

OMG My brain fried LONG before yours started to. hahahaha

That one aggressive voice was really starting to get to me by the end of it :P

Jeff kept on saying “Delta 817” but the Text to Speech was for some reason reading out Delta 849.

Is so funny see Jeff freak out

Is there any way to make the pilots talk faster? Feel like that would help move things along a little bit. Love the video!

Ah, LAX, the airport that’s kind of infamous for large scale congestion issues due to expanding way too fast and using up all the land they were given when it was originally constructed from what I’ve been told, good times. 😑

This is going to be very interesting.

Happy holidays my freind ❤ 🎁

Wow, this is so different from Tower 3D. I know Tower 3D is super old but was not expecting this to be the new version of it.

The more I watch you play this the more I want to get it to try doing the same. Does the game have airports in the UK? I hope you had a good Christmas and I hope you have a very good New Year

You really wanted N800PZ on 25R, called them there twice! :D

The only Southwest flights that left today...

just a FYI the BR in the atis stands for Mist (BR). Broken would be for the ceiling which is Broken (BKN)

In its present state is TS!Sim3 worth passing over Tower3DPro in your exp with both? And how strict are the min pc specs, I have a 2.2 i7 8th gen but rest of my specs are fine. Enjoyed your videos!

I would like to see meigs field, met a guy who worked there at my EAA chapter, he transferred to Chicago tracon before the raid tho

I hope they come out with seattle soon!!

Jeff I would appreciate seeing you try KATL or EGLL

hey, a question, do you ever use shortened runways? e.g. Delta486 runway 25R at B6 (Raleigh airport)? it shortens taxi times and enables you to create several queues rather than one huge one

you can now say "ALA2343 cross runway 25R" in advance of the plane stopping short of the runway, instead of waiting for the plane to stop short of the runway and then saying "ALA2343 continue taxi"

Relax buddy 😂😂

Don't feel bad Jeff i just got over having the flu too

Started to sound like the JFK controllers towards the end of the video 😂

Ya Look pretty good, should sign up for vatsim ATC when you ever have enough time for it, it’s super fun

Jeff could you please make a video on how you set up your voice recognition cause I just really can understand it…

Hey Jeff, would you be willing to do Salt Lake International for ya boy in Utah?

I think the reason the DAL813 didn't listen was because when I looked at the transcript at the top it said DAL848. Also same for SWA813 (SWA848 instead), so maybe it's just a bug where it hears 813 as 848.

Well atleast SW is flying at certain airports LOL

@20:40, how does a SKW5864 (computer) know which TWY to use before TWY_B ? I mean there are at least 3 TWY available between H 1-5.

Good work on that attempt but if you look back over the video DAL817 you kept calling them Delta Eight Seventeen and the TTS was reading back as DL849... you need to use singular number like Eight One Seven,, TTS can be a little crazy..

Jeff it would be greatly appreciated if you could take a look at X plane 12

Sounds like you may have still been on the NyQuil when you recorded this. LOL Either that or you were trying to give us a more authentic experience by simulating a "buzzed" ATC with the slurs. 😆

Its seems like u need someone to either help u with doing taxis or takeoff and landing with u Jeff on tower simulator

I really wish they had added an single player option to do only ground or tower etc. Would have been much more realistic.

the correct command is "ALA2343 taxi to ramp" NOT "ALA2343 taxi to THE ramp." This might have been why a lot of the commands were misunderstood, by just putting that extra "the" in the command. It really messes them up

They would never tell an aircraft to taxi “to the ramp via” without a crossing clearance. It would be taxi “x”, hold short of runway “x”. It’s good that they still wait despite your lack of a clearance.

LAX is my favorite airport in both games. Is there any emergencies or delay in the game/campaign

I'"m just wondering if it's possible in this simulator to automate either approach radar, or ground radar, in such a way that only ground is under the charge of the player, or the approach. Closer to the reality in my opinion and also would allow to better focus and getting used to it before going on alone controller.

Not sure about this sim, but in Tower 3D you could change the speed at which the "pilots" talked at in the settings.

It's funny when they say covid is over and the flu makes a hard comeback. Hope you and your family feel better.

Hey Jeff when you are going to do another flight in MSFS

BR on the METAR under the ATIS means mist, not “broken”.

Jeff it didnt recognize you calling delta at all, it recognized it as 849 instead of 817 and that was why it was stuck. You could have commanded it on text or called it 1-7 instead of seventeen I guess. Cool video otherwise!

Lets see you melt down at Oakland/SFO

In case you don't know, you have to say "heavy" after stating the callsigh of an aircraft or it won't work.
