Nasty Weather & A Stupid Pilot - MSFS 

Pilots last famous words :"The ground is still there .... good ... " hihi

Hi AvAngel, you should get the toolbar-pushback mod for MSFS, works wonder with floats planes. You can push in many direction just like if you were pushing the plane from the docks. Cheers!

Avangel, knowledgeable, haughty and strict, flying mans totty.

Way to overcome the conditions, that was brilliant flying. When the supplies absolutely have to get through, you can count on AvAngel to get them there.

White knuckle flying right there for sure.Would have to change my nickers when I landed.🤠

Hi Angel. I’m loving your wild flying video’s and you do them so well too. 👍🏻

Another awesome vid. I generally only fly military stuff because I'm a bloke, who doesn't have any emotions and never cries. I have, however, very much enjoyed the beaver and got some great tips from this. I did once cry, when optimus prime died, in the movie, but he came back to life and I vowed to never cry again. Honestly.

I recently had a flight from Ketchikan to Wrangell and Wrangell Island is constantly shrouded in the thick soup. Especially the channel between Wrangell and Etolin Island. I had no GPS equipped so I intercepted a Radial from Level Island VOR and then headed for the Wrangell ILS. Within the last mile or so the airport came into view it was the first time I was able to see anything again after a few clear spots between Mitkof and Zarembo Islands. Which were of no use of course except for marking the "hard boundaries" of the radial lol. I sat there lips clenched dead serious and after touchdown a bick rock fell from my shoulder, that was tense. Especially because I play with Air Hauler. After landing I saw in AH that I forgot my payload in Ketchikan. My settings for cruise are 28/1800. Makes it comfortably quiet. This plane is wonderful. Came just right for my vacation so I sit in it all day lol.

That was some serious shrub flying! And great piloting!

An outstanding video, can't wait to see more 😎

Hot coffee and and a change pants.. IMC = Inevitably More Cursing perhaps? Nice vid hun xxx

amazing visuals. great flying.great video

Excellent video, very well done ! 🇨🇦

White knuckle video AvAngel . 😅😅

Still a fun flight, you made it. It would be nice if you post the airport codes so we can give it a go, thanks! !! !!!

I got that new plane itch, went shopping and picked up the SWS Floatiak. I already had the Kodiak. And WOW, that really makes it a complete package. So now I am jumping between the classic Beaver and the ultra Modern Kodiak. And every time I switch, I am thrilled to fly the new plane. So different from each other, but so similar. Anyway, this Beaver got me looking for something else that did this type of thing and I ended up falling in love with the Kodiak all over again. The best of two eras.

Super video! Thank you so much.

Frozen lakes and snow cover are based on the Live Weather data ... not the date. Unfortunately MSFS uses low resolution snow cover data that extends way too much into the valleys in situation when it should only be on the mountain tops. And the amount of frozen lakes and even frozen oceans is completely bogus too. As far as snow coverage goes, live weather is unusable in colder mountainous terrain like that.

That was an exciting flight! I really need to install RTMM myself, just saw that they have a one-file download. Last time I looked, which was ages ago, I thing that was not there yet.

Hi AA!!! Great video! I was thinking you would "NOT" make it!!!! Do you ever fly IFR??? It is so much fun landing a ILS approach with 1/4 mile visibility at night!!!! Do you have a VR head set???🙂👍👍👍

Dear AV. This is the very last time I accept a ride with you... There is no infarction nor a flight accident in my plans.-

Hi, do you have any videos or tutorials for the freeware g21 Goose?

Angel, where can I get those seaplane bases? On the Xbox they don’t seem to be available. When I looked up Bell Island on the SIM and in the marketplace there was nothing so is it an independent developer that doesn’t have his seaplane bases on the marketplace? I really love those sceneries and the dock area is so detailed and immersive!!! Great work again, and I love your scenarios. You might want to consider Southport Flying Club in Australia. YSPT. I did a “run” there. Two fold mission. Take parts for a Restoration of a Spitfire being carried out by a gentleman in one of the only open hangers. And the other part of the mission was to take the Kodiak and actually pick up an Sick kangaroo at the end of the airfield on approach. I found the guy doing the restoration and was able to “deliver” the parts, but that damn kangaroo just wouldn’t jump into the Kodiak. I had the doors open and some treats but the kangaroo just not in the mood to be flown out………!!!

Been flying the Beaver up the west coast of the USA landing sea bases where possible, it’s been fun. But I wish that sea bases had “stands” rather than just starting on the “runway”. How does this mod do for that front?

You could have changed the weather when you tried to mid-flight, but you didn't switch off the Live Weather option, so switching the month had no effect. Anyway, a risky but fun flight. You should have put a "don't try this at home" disclaimer at the beginning of the video :-)

Das mag ich.

Are you using FSrealism pro ?

Ah, I can help with you hating the water in MSFS. Along side the Goose, the Beaver on floats is one of the more accurate planes we have with regards to water handling. I'm sure you're used to just holding back on the stick/yoke to keep the tail stuck as long as possible. On floats they have what's called a critical angle. Once up on the step (high speed), you want to find that happy spot between too much nose up and too much nose down. Too much nose down and the bow of the floats will bounce off the water. Too much nose up and the tails of the floats will drag/bounce off the water (as you had in this video with your first takeoff). In this Beaver, I recommend a different technique from what you're used to. Hold full back as you apply power. Once it's up on step (which you'll feel with a little hop up), ease off on that back pressure. With neutral trim you may even need a touch of forward pressure. You'll find that happy spot and it'll feel like it's balancing on a single spot on the floats (which, in effect, it is). Done correctly, you'll have no bouncing or jittering. Hold that critical angle until you're at flying speed then gently pull up to take off. This doesn't come easy or intuitively but do some high speed taxiing to get used to it. Once at a high-ish speed (~40 knots) on the water, try pushing forward a bit and see what it does. Conversely try pulling back too much and see what it does. That happy spot is dead in the middle of those. It's exactly how my instructor taught me way back when. I hope that helps!

Wow

Just out of curiosity. If we knew the lake was frozen, since we didn't have skis on. Could we have not just used landing gear?

Stupid question: would like Orbx "Alaska mesh" help with the scenery?

Hey @AvAngel you should check out the Vision Jet G2 by FlightFX that was released today on MSFS marketplace. It's simply amazing!

the ice as water thing is weird cause I've landed on ice with ski's no problem

Does the weather radar work or is it terrain radar?

what do you play on? xbox or pc?

"Technically this is very wrong, we're on what's essentially ice, but it's water" Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeell................. teeeeeeeeeeechnically..................... :P

Hi Angel, just ordered the Monkey Puck. Thanks. I hate you!

When will they fix the water?

You can actually land on a basic runway on this Beaver. Remember it is amphibious. You just havem to get the undercarriage down first!

Mr.Moonlight (John Lennon fan?) called it like it was,not switching live weather off DOH!!!!!!!!!!!!
