Alaska Airlines PMDG 737-800 Full Flight San Diego - Hawaii (Maui) | ULTRA 4K | A MSFS Experience

In this video, I fly out the Boeing 737-800 by PMDG. I fly out from San Diego early morning on Alaska Airlines flight 829 to Kahului, Hawaii on the beautiful island of Maui. This is a real life flight as you'll also hear the atc audio at San Diego from ASA829. Enjoy! More videos on the way, however my main priority is studying for my multi engine commercial rating!

[@MajorTom.]

This video was captured on sim update 10. However, I'm still using DX11 as well as TAA and not DLSS. The performance improvement for me is minimal with DLSS 'quality' and the graphics quality hit is more than I'd like for now. :)

[@subzero6133]

WoW , Amazing images ... any chance to you share us all your MSFS2020 config screen inside the simulator ? Kind Regards !

[@CanadaSims]

Does dx11 work better for you? I have found dx12 seems to be an improvement for me for almost every aircraft and area I have flown so far.

[@aldia8915]

MajorTom, I’m a big fan of yours channels. I’ve been using P3D for the past 3 and half years and my graphics ain’t nothing compared to yours. Even though I run a new graphic card which is a GTX 3050 with a 4K monitor and running a AMD processor. I just bought MFS premium Deluxe package couple of weeks ago and would like to know if there is any chance you could share some of your system configuration when you get a chance just to see what I’m missing. Again, amazing video sir 🙏🏾

What’s best P3D or MSFS?

[@valuedhumanoid6574]

Back in 2014 my family did a massive vacation to Hawaii. 39 of us total. Every aunt, uncle, cousin, and even some friends went for 2 weeks. We didn't travel as a single herd, it was get there the best way you can. My wife and kids took this flight. A Delta flight from Indy to San Diego, then the Alaska Airlines 737-800 from San Diego to Maui. We shipped all our luggage a week ahead of time so we didn't have to mess with it. Just carry on only. If you're going to go for that long so far with that many people, shipping luggage ahead of time is the ONLY way to live. We go to the hotel and all our luggage was in our rooms. Perfecto.

Brilliant. Probably the best MSFS2020 video yet

[@titodey8674]

You did it again Tom! This time to my favorite place on Earth! My wife and I have flown in to OGG twice with a third trip planned. The scenery is deadly accurate with Haleakala on the left, Molokini crater in the distance, the windmills of West Maui, and the sugar mill just before minimums. I even spotted the Lahaina Pali trail! Keep making these man.

30 seconds in and its already a banger

As a long time simmer, I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed your video. It is by far one of the best I have ever seen posted. Thank you for sharing.

[@thedakotahurley]

Man, what an AMAZING video! Amazing doesn't even fully describe how great this is. The graphics, the sound, the reflections, the realism of systems and navigation, the terminal views, all of it. Absolutely fantastic! Bravo! Total immersion is what I experienced. Headphones, full screen mode, and lights out. Now to close the window and get back to reality. I was really enjoying that Hawaiian bliss :)

[@sla31]

Always a pleasure when MajorTom uploads. Hey, also my friend, just wanted to give you a heads up in case no one else had mentioned it. I was looking for timestamps in the description and noticed you're having a similar problem as me. For some reason, KZbin is currently reading a dash (-) in descriptions as you wanting everything past that crossed out with a line through it. Interestingly enough, some of your dashes are doing it and some aren't. Either way, half of your description is crossed out. I've found, at least on my channel, it isn't affecting past uploads, just new ones. I've had to go through and edit my templates to remove all the dashes, as even chatting with KZbin creator support, they don't seem to know why it's doing that. FYI. Anyway, that aside, great upload as always!

[@MajorTom.]

Appreciate it! I just noticed it on my phone. Thank you for letting me know I'll see what I can do :)

[@nashroney4843]

Love watching your videos! I’m 737 typed with about 500 hours and just got my 747 type rating, IOE coming soon, so all of those videos I love watching heavily! Your procedures look very well done and well researched. I just got my flight sim set up and I’m amazed how you get all of the views inside and out. Please keep up the amazing work!

Phenomen as always this gave me the chills! So realistic! Loved the terminal part. Hope everything is going well with your real-world aviation! Also I was just curious, would you want to fly big aircraft such as the 757, 767, A321, A330, etc…? Or even bigger (777, 787, A350, etc)? Or are you just planning for the 737, and a320/19/18?

Just landed here from Vancouver to Maui IRL in 737 MAX Air Canada. Lovely flight. We landed at about 10 pm local time. Pilot hit the brakes super hard. I think he was new haha. But what a lovely place maui is.

I just want to begin this comment by saying how much I love your videos, @MajorTom. They have provided me with great inspiration, as a fellow aviation enthusiast and lover of MFS. I am also curious as to what aircraft or addons you might suggest that I get for my Xbox MFS for maximised enjoyment. Thanks so much for posting and inviting me.

Crazy how they even have the LSG trucks right. We do use TLD equipment as well. The tugs and belt loaders we use are a little different though. At seat tac we use powerstow belt loaders and smaller TLD belt loaders.

The way you pan through the walk around the sounds in the cabin, the outside views are phenomenal!!!! The only thing i didn't like about your video is the stupid masks on people and the announcements from the flight crew to wear a mask at all time. I don't like to be reminded of 2020 dealing with the pandemic. But other than that A+++++ man.

Hey Tom, just wondering, what fps do you get when approaching into larger airport, since it looking at getting a 3080. Also, do you need a strong internet connection when approaching large airport because I lag when approaching them. I have a 1660Super. I’m also not using very high graphics settings.
