Professional ATC vs. 50+ PILOTS in Microsoft Flight Simulator! (VATSIM) 

ATC: Boeing23 Heavy, your gear is up. Repeat your gear is up. FO: Recommend go around? ATC: Nah just wanted to let you know. Clear to land. 😎

Cleared to butter the bread with metal.

😂🤣😂🤣

@@Huvada *queues in power metal track*

this is a great idea

can confirm

super bowl

Very true but they also have teams of folks running an ATC not just one guy. Him running this solo is quite impressive

You sure about that?

@@10kanojias Just wait for budget cuts to get worse...

Means a lot thank you

Unless there’s “professional” and “ruined” within the same title.

No, he should have *requested* an emegency.

ATC would've denied it

"All emergencies are not recognized at this time. G'day"

"Rgr, but be advised we currently have two declared emergencies ahead of you, call sign "Airforce One" for both. Good Luck."

That atc was a dick, like we are all roleplaying here, ofc its virtual don't take us out of the rp because you cant handle things

gooble goggle one of us gooble goggle one of us

Wow, no offense to you of course, but I guess a LOT of you don’t know much about GroundPound69, do you?

​@@CPUSublimeHeart Nope, Just seen a cool video and watched it and moved on. People can always improve, hence I left a little tip. I love the sim community but I do it for real so nice to try share some things.

That's how I was taught it in flight school. Don't say take off unless you mean it. "Ready for departure" was the way to ask for clearance.

@@CPUSublimeHeartcalm down, Francis, his point is well made. As a pilot, one doesn’t say “take off” but “departure,” in fact, you can get ATC going all parental on you to some real nice paperwork if you mix those words at a busy airport.

@@colin-nekritz i’m joking about how the video poster does goofy plane vids for over 5 years

When you install AIG traffic for Vatsim it can definitely hurt performance a bit. Since he has the stock traffic it's very smooth.

Imho its not as big of an issue as most point it out to be but does need to be addressed by Asobo. But that likley isnt the issue here. He is using the velocity which accoridng to the forums has a common double binding to simulation rate. This looks to be the more likely suspect here.

@@JohnDole So one of the axes or buttons on the Velocity (brakes maybe?) is bound to the simulation rate control?

@@Stoney3K I dont own the velocity so take it with a grain of salt. But if you scroll down in the comments you can see another user having a similar issue, this issue has also been discussed elsewhere. "The simulation rate increased when you applied brakes with the bumpers, it can be disabled by unbinding those controls. Also check control combination settings with one bumper and one trigger. Same thing happened to me and they ended up being blinded to + and - which unbinding solved that issue"

That shot with the ridiculous dramatic clouds was *chef's kiss* 👩‍🍳💋

he's had them months and months. i'm same as you @kryptonic. i'd kill to get a proper controller set that were not frickin logitech. the website alone i hate (soo many scripts, trackers and terrible design and more).. then the deadzone fisaco. such poor quality that the CENTER is "temperature at the factory on the day" degrees off. Seriously. When they tooled the plastic injector mould, they really messy up the tolerances, or rather.. didn't bother with tolerances.. internal parts and the mounting points, are out of positition by some significant margin. I put this down to the testing for the mould was done first thing in the morning. cooler ambience. by mid day, the entire factory is much, much hotter. so the MASTER MOULD on the day of testing (tool) did very few cycles and in a cold environment. (v.early in day) logitech used to be good for all the other stuff. USED (past tense) to be good.

I get that 400 isn't a little bit of cash but there's a lot of stuff in a set like this. It's a bit more complicated than a steering wheel.

I recently bought and returned these they have a collasal deadzone for pitch and throttle levers feel cheap AF I'd recommend the honeycomb stuff they feel amazing been using it for awhile now and by far my fav.

Bro 2 hours of flight time is 400$

If you can, look into getting it from amazon and doing the payments in installments. I know its still a good chunk of money but it makes it a little more doable so its not one large lump sum all at once. Thats how im doing mine and i think I only have like 3 or 4 more payments on it

I caught it too, but it doesn't seem like Max was flying it :) I don't like when people use actual youtubers' callsigns on VATSIM

@@4x5au Of course Max wouldn't be flying in MSFS, he would be in the real-world N2RF. :-P I have to imagine that the person who did that probably knows the CitationMax channel well and may quite possibly have aspirations to an eventual career similar to Max's, and chose N2RF in some kind of homage to Max. I won't go quite as far as you on the topic of whether VATSIM pilots should be using real-world RU-vid aviators' call signs, but I will say that a healthy debate can be had there.

You must have missed Qantas announcing that route recently

What's it they say? Art imitates life?

problem is nobody is gonna wanna sit there and put suitcases in a plane for a few hours.

Yall trying to simulate my job?

@@robertfrank16 Haha we appreciate you

This would be my role

And also the passengers, huh?

I don’t think you’ve been here all that long, have you? No offense of course.

@@CPUSublimeHeart i don’t understand what you are driving at ? What Neil M said is correct. Can you explain your point?

@@CPUSublimeHeart but he is correct

@@prodnaki I believe they mean that AFP here tends to not have the most dedicated focus on proper procedure. he knows and follows the procedure but going against it is what makes these funny, you can mess around since its a simulation made for fun.

huh? been flying 25 years and always hear and use "flight of two, takeoff" Or something similar when ready for takeoff

Hot air ballons!

Or just play it from a young age

@@EmilParkour oh yes, the old trick of going back in time. Never fails

@@mafubaa 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

New to flight sims and never been near a cockpit IRL (except for before 9/11 when the pilots used to invite us kids up to the cockpit - that was pretty cool) and yeah man, this feels true! There's some training activities though, and there are also lots of tutorials around. You start to get the hang of the various concepts after a while. Also Microsoft flight sim has a "Co pilot" option that can handle various aspects of the aircraft for you, so you don't have to master everything at once and you can get into the big jets before too long. But maybe stick to single player for a while first (I'm not ready to ruin everyone else's days on multiplayer servers JUST yet!) It's great if you love to learn like I do though. I never knew that flight sims were so accessible until lately. For my whole life, every time I fly, I've sat there looking at planes and wondering what all the parts and buttons do and what goes into flying them. Came across it after I was in Adelaide for 2 weeks, where my dad's house has a great view of the airport and it's nice to sit out on the verandah and watch the planes land and take off, which got me wondering again how it all works. I'm starting to think like an older person going "wow the things we have these days - how lucky are we!" There are some incredible mods that make it even better too. Really realistic

Air traffic controllers on VATSIM are usually "armatures" that dedicate their focus on certain areas and study actual FAA publications to make the network as real as possible. Not anyone can just hop on and be a virtual controller. It takes several months of training before you can even start to control on VATSIM.

@@nesargent If someone loves being an ATC that much, why wouldn't they just go do the real thing and get paid for something they love to do?

@@JP-jd5vz funny enough, the application and vetting processes for ATC jobs can be brutal. The slightest medical risk for any mental misfortunes or sudden health complications can spell death for hundreds given the worst case scenario. So, no matter how interested some people are, they may simply not be allowed to do this line of work.

@@thefriendorthefoe I have no idea of verifying if this is true or something you just made up.

@@JP-jd5vz Its true. Lots get disqualified or washed out but still want to do it and that's were Vatsim comes in for them. Source: FAA rated controller for 6 years.

If you can walk away, it's a good landing. A GREAT landing is if you can still use the airplane.

Reverse thrust is just very unsafe overall. There are no mirrors, so you can't even see where you are going. It is dangerous to you and everything around you. Also loud, and consumes tons of fuel. And I am pretty sure he is aware, otherwise he wouldn't have said it is 70s procedure. No, damage isn't really simulated at all. You can activated random failures though, i believe.

AFP is a method actor.

It does

@@matthew9677 I mean playable ATC

I said the same thing in my comment lol. Real life i usually say “ready to go”

Just turn a switch, and thats it. Fuel pump off.

@@OriginalThisAndThat so even at cruising altitude or during take off Trust it's one switch to kill an engine? Seems kinda unsafe without any safe guard, but I guess it's enough out of the way it's fine

@@sasor098 there's a clip out there with a streamer cutting the power off to the engine mid take off in a commercial training flight simulator

Reverse thrust, ATC with attitude, xbox live microphone quality, and air force one for no reason keeps some of the spirit alive.
