A "Realistic" Flight During a Hurricane in Microsoft Flight Simulator (with ATC) 777-300ER

yeah, its deleted probably.. i hate this "oh no, you can hear it, and play it in the captions, but YOU cant say it in comments" BS that youtube does. Make a youtube for the offended and one for the normal people.

[@andrewmacp.2424]

I played the original as a kid back in the mid-90s, but not FSX or 2020. Therefore, I've been rather curious these past few years if the cabin chatter is actually generated by the game or something AFP does "in post-production"--does anyone know?

As a man once said, “Boy, that escalated quickly.” We never thought giving you the controller would lead to you flying it through Hurricane Helene. Thanks for putting our controller through the test. It was fun watching you fly as always!

[@gangl1234]

I'm glad someone made a gamepad specifically dedicated for flight sims, but uh, my guy....200 bucks for what is essentially an Xbox controller with some extra bells and whistles is WAY too much, especially considering I can get a full on professional level stick from VKB for about 70 bucks cheaper, OR an actual X1 controller that works just as well for only 60 bucks....did you make this thing outta platinum or something? Who is the intended consumer here? Anyone with that kind of money is gonna get a full stick, and anyone who would be looking for a pad isn't gonna have the cash to buy your product. I'm legitimately confused and curious about the thought process behind this.

[@yawmanflight]

⁠@@gangl1234 One of our demographics has ironically been pilots, hence why we are sold on Sporty’s Pilot Shop. Many people just don’t have the appetite for large pieces of hardware covering their desk, or want to be mobile (myself included!) It also took a lot of patented engineering to develop mechanical linked controls including the triggers that you won’t find in gamepads. Overall, it just works and people are often surprised when they fly it. I hope you’ll have a chance to try it out!

[@JW86SH]

I appreciate that it's an XBOX style controller and not a Playstation style. 😉

[@leodavis4242]

Hey Kilo, I know you probably won't see this, but I just wanted to say I'm in the process of trying to become an ATC, and your videos (from the FSX days to the present day with VATSIM) are largely responsible for that, by kickstarting a chain of events that got me here. It was because of your FSX videos that I both found your channel and bought FSX for myself. And through that, I found a flight sim/aviation group with real pilots and controllers. And now, as a result of everything I just mentioned, combined... I'm trying to become an ATC. So thank you for the always hilarious videos, and the role they played in me beginning on this journey!

would you be extra chill like him if you were intentionally hit by an F-35 while working in the tower?

@@visionaervilz Well considering I meant that I'm trying to become a real life Air Traffic Controller, no, I don't think ANY real life controller could, or would, be as calm as he is/was when he controls/controlled 🤣 No sane person is gonna be all nonchalant while an aircraft tries to fly straight for the tower.

Personally I think they should have made it a different colour, the flat white makes it looks 3D printed and 'cheap' even if it is good (idk, never used one). They are pretty expensive though I think. Probably pretty good for those playing on a laptop and can't lug a controller around. Curious if they work on XBOX, probably not I guess.
