MSFS - Flying the Dune Ornithopter 

MIssing out on wing brakes and the booster mode being an active whilst held down afterburner 😊 ! Great video as always !

That intro had me worried for a min. Also the famous MSFS white circle bug XD.

omg yesssss!! I fly this with some epic dune music in the background while flying around Earth, its the best thing ever!!

Awesome video. It looks like it is fun to fly

You can use the wings brake in the air, they are very useful for landing! 😉

"We've got Movie sign!!!" Oh wait wrong franchise! 😂

My favorite scenery for the Ornithopter . . . take off from HSNN and fly west for about 95 miles. I'd get some altitude, 10k feet or so.

I just got the simulator and extension last night, and after some very brief training, I learned the rest of the controls by myself in the earth map. I was having fun for a while until i fell asleep mid flight. I just woke up this morning and I have now found myself on the other side of the continent.

Using the Thrustmaster throttle pad you can use the joystick slider wheel to turn on the power boost and it stays on without holding a button press. also map the the unlimited fuel and you can fly all day in the glider ode and never run out of fuel.

Where did you say you were flying? I didn't understand from your speech

To echo others, Wing Brake while in flight immediately arrests all forward motion and puts you in a hover. if you disable the assists in the pilot expereince menu you can hit wing brake and use the throttle to maintain hover.

I didn't load the ornithopter, but got rid of the annoying bug (buffering circle) by loading the PMDG 737 and then re booting the SIM.

Yes you seem be be missing the wing brake. It makes it very arcadey but it's impossible to get A in challenges without it.

I got hooked on VR with this sim, but then my VR headset went down and I can't afford a new one and the graphics card and computer to go with it, so I can't really get into it now. How do people enjoy this sim with no VR? It is multiple times better with VR.

Dragonflies figured this out millions of years ago. I hope this design replaces the V-22 Osprey.

The big question I have about the "ornithopter" (more like tragically conjoined dragonfly twins in this interpretation, not avian at all) is what axes do you use? MSFS's airplane or helicopter axes? Do you need collective and cyclic, do you need "helicopter tail rotor" vs rudder, etc? Or does this thing introduce new controller axes? I haven't flown it yet for this very reason.

It is just a fun thing to fool around with

When did 40fps become acceptable in flight sims?

Would this thing fly in real life?

So cool!!

High five on the intro
