That ATC sounded like an auctioneer with how he was handling all of those planes. He was very good.

[@timblack33]

My local airport one of the tower guys is a local auctioneer. I guess it’s a good mix

[@tapiwamj7958]

That ATC cut it real close with that take off clearance. He is managing his flow like a champ

[@monotonehell]

They don't even run trains on rails that close in my town.

[@allamericanwiseass2794]

Seriously chock o’ block up your yan airspace

[@justuslm]

@@monotonehell Trains can't pull up over one another if they get too close, though.

[@cat_03tv]

Even the Denver departure control couldn't believe that was a real clearance

[@Henoik]

Yeah, this is why we have procedures for this shit now in my vACC with minimums etc. It will always be a possibility though, as separation still technically lies with the APP

[@aisle9]

You know what would have really put that ATC to the test? A hot air balloon with callsign Air Force One requesting a mayday as it buzzes the tower at Mach 1.

@@bertjesklotepinoI’m 22 and used to use fsx back when I was in middle school and used vatsim aswell and tried to be ATC which was fun but jeez these days like this video and atc chatter I don’t think I could handle the heat with 50-80 planes at one FOB all at once I would start shaking and just switch out with another person to be atc these days . I’d rather be a pilot than atc . I use MSFS 2020 now and it’s a blast . I play on Xbox tho but it’s amazingggg

[@themanhchannel3656]

I love the amount of traffic. I never knew Southwest worked for Ryanair.

[@Hk7762Tube]

ATC just relaxing and gaming after hard day of work at the tower it seems.

[@YTshashmeera]

Shout-out to the controller who gave clearance for space shuttle status climb

[@edgingjogo]

That ATC was popping off just now, beautiful sequencing, something you'd see at JFK, extremely well done to the controllers and any real life ATC that work at high intensity airports, as well as smaller airports, y'all are the biggest quickthinkers.

[@xsleep1]

Noticed after landing your jet intake cover appears to be present and intact. Amazing amount of performance with that in place.

[@BrittSchieck]

I was thinking the same thing 😐

[@CraftMine1000]

Lmao

[@Nareimooncatt]

Now we know why ATC was upset at his climb rate.

[@destroyerxd4499]

Love that COD Modern Warfare 2 reference on the subtitles. "UAV on Standby. Predator Missile ready for deployment." 😂😂😂💀💀💀

[@freedomfalcon]

I have personally witnessed moments like 0:33 and 2:32 multiple times working at Denver. This is spot on realism for operations at KDEN. Also you are the one who has massive balls going into KASE at night. There are local 135 operations who won't even do that, and for good reason.

[@ezi__]

my home base is DXB and this is also pretty common at peak times, and to even see this simulated online and managed somewhat well online is mind-blowing; this community never ceases to amaze me (or make me laugh)

[@Aronn1121]

I like how the controllers questioned your clearance and then questioned if you made the correct turn

That is impressive. The flows by that controller were flawless and the work by the ground controllers managing all those aircraft. Well done to the controllers on frequency and we’ll done by the pilots keeping up with it all.

[@MSRTA_Productions]

Hats off to ATC for handling traffic at DEN

[@quixmith]

My fitness watch told me I was getting "zone" minutes for heartrate while watching this video, actually insane traffic. Fantastic work out there

[@Jimyoyo]

My dad was in the RAF for 35 years and I’ve always wanted a setup to play flight sim. Looks absolutely amazing!!! I try teach myself about aviation and find the whole ATC fascinating. Love the videos

[@MrNikolidas]

Do it. Nothing more rewarding than getting the procedures right and buttering the landing. Stressful in the moment, but I always find I'm more relaxed afterwards than when I started.

[@Jimyoyo]

@@MrNikolidasI would love to but its a lot of money. Can you play this game on a laptop? I dont have a PC or a laptop. Then i’d need to buy the equipment which I’m sure is very expensive too

@@Jimyoyo Whoops, I didn't forget to reply, shut up... I have a friend that plays flight sim on a modest gaming laptop that reportedly runs quite well. If you prioritise RAM and GPU, the other specs don't have to be off-the-charts-amazing for it to work. Check the minimum system requirements for flight sim before you buy a rig. As for equipment I just have a Thrustmaster HOTAS X, no fancy yokes or throttle quadrants.

If you turn on the speed bugs it will make it easier to climb at best rate when requested. Select FLC/ias (depending on what autopilot you are using) and set the speed to the Vy bug. That will be the best rate the Aircraft is capable of.
