Two air/gnd transmitter sites that meant working a toggle switch for comm. Time files when you're that busy. I spent three-plus hours on the position that felt like forty-five minutes.

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

OMG I just completed the check list and I made all these new social media accounts to follow you and I’m so exited! I love your content so much and you always make me laugh with your jokes. I can’t wait!

[@abhishektyagi9048]

My man's making top notch content so consistently. Keep up.

[@nickes6168]

That airport layout in Charleston is top notch. Efficiency was definitely in mind with that one.

Mating Airbus's. That's how NEOs are born.

[@Seussenshmirtz]

Still hope MSFS adds a built in ATC game mode for casual players so we can get some of that old school content.

[@matthew9677]

It does

[@Seussenshmirtz]

@@matthew9677 I mean playable ATC

[@HistorysRaven]

I binge Mayday (Air Crash Investigation; Air Emergency; Air Disaster) just for the hell of it. I would love to see the reaction of investigators to the sudden hyperspeed and your "What the hell" moment.

[@burakgokcegoz6949]

6:40 rip passengers 💀💀💀

[@fbwa32nxfan29]

That kids landing, is the best I have seen on MSFS2020! Considering that all you see at Atlanta is 747s doing barrel rolls...

[@awesomegumball14]

50 plus! I am already sim racing. Should I consider this too? I had my eye on aviation before Motorsport and I find it hard to pick between the two.

[@masso392]

Flight simming is great if you enjoy some downtown during cruising, Its just alot to learn at the start but really rewarding :)

[@final_zoink]

I sim race and recently picked this game up, it's long but fun

[@ukrje]

I do both aswell. There is no harm to it. As long as you can afford it (time wise, that is. money wise is more a "how much are you willing")

[@Unsung_Guardian]

This is honestly really fascinating.

[@braedonl_1212]

Love your videos! I recently started watching and playing MSFS and I would love to get a good sim system one day.

[@ArsalanKhan-ro6xo]

Video quality is astounding, deserved a sub and a like :D

[@krusty1974]

that was most probably a tail strike on departure (12, maybe 12.5 degrees before lift off). My advice: hold below 10 until airborne. The problem of course was with the flaps (retracted) but that’s another story. The habit of kind of pausing below 10 if it doesn’t feel like it’s coming up might not be “by the book” but it keeps pilots out of the office 😉

[@1zzKolby]

As someone who lives in charleston and has watched you for years...my dream has come true

[@dakotahurt597]

It's crazy how serious some if these people take these games

[@draneldavid4472]

Bro, as always, the funniest FS content creator out there right now. I’m not even gassing.

[@draneldavid4472]

My bad if you’re not trying to be funny, but you make a flight sim video fun and also informative.

[@m00nyoze]

I wish my dad was alive to see and even play this game. I grew up when the og MSFS came out and he always showed them to me as a kid. I thought it was so boring lol

[@erikerice9068]

You and I literally said "Butter" at the same time. That was a nice landing.

[@The_Ahab]

I used to be C3 Rated at vZDC in VATSIM, but traffic really dwindled and led to only a handful of interactions a night. Obviously some areas are more busy than others, but how is traffic on the network now? I haven't flown or controlled in probably 7 or 8 years.

[@MiBrCo4177]

'wow seatbelt sign is off... wow... RIP passengers" this right here had me rollin' lmao. loving these vid's having recently found the channel lol.

[@dune1221]

When are you going to do one of those flight things where you guys all follow each other to different places that's hilarious

[@michaelvelez6699]
