[@shuja1528]

AviationPro can I play a local season in fsx steam edition

[@AviationPro]

What do you mean with local season?

[@vedangagrawal472]

Finnaly You are Back

[@AviationPro]

Thanks! :)

[@AviationPro]

Thanks! I'm playing the ATC sound through a virtual audio cable (you should look that up on Google) and I "listen" to that virtual audio cable by enabling the listen to this device option in the Windows audio settings for that virtual audio cable.

[@fancandyman]

when the controller asked you to contact tower he said @happy landing@

[@AviationPro]

Where?

[@fancandyman]

AviationPro at 22:30

[@luzten]

I have 100hrs on Vatsim (still learning, a lot thanks of you!) and what you said at minute 37... well.... thats the main issue from many of us. Glad in IVAO theres not that kind of sound issues. Great flight man one more time. Thank you

[@AviationPro]

Yeah, some nights it's bad, some nights I don't have problems with ATC and then there's also a big difference between controllers. You get used to it eventually, I don't like the Teamspeak audio of IVAO either, even though it's more clear. Thanks for watching! :)

[@scwfan08]

"It was a bit hard to understand the controller"

[@AviationPro]

Haha :D

[@vic3dexe1]

It was like a white noise for me (Ukraine) xD

[@Miku-uw2sl]

vic3dexe1 😂🤣

[@ctiborbelohrad1385]

Yeah finally, thanks, your videos are awesome :)

[@AviationPro]

Thank you! :)

[@biiokemisten]

Really happy you're rocking P3D now! Cheers!

[@AviationPro]

Me too! Thanks! :)

[@nebojsaglistra9050]

thanks MAN! give us more and more and more......

[@NguyenLe-py8yc]

Glad to see you have upgraded your pc to be able to fly P3D :)

[@AviationPro]

Yep, thanks! :)

[@torrance8897]

You can use the PMDG built-in push back feature. its pretty neat, featuring "radio communication" with the pusher.

[@AviationPro]

Yes I know about it, but I now use GSX these days which is more accurate and provides the same functionality ;)

[@maroon9980]

Your videos are very helpful for new pilots, you deserved that 60,000 views!

[@AviationPro]

Thank you! :)

[@J0shua029]

Welcome Back! Definitely enjoy your videos good sir keep up the good work!

[@AviationPro]

Thank you! :)

[@gepsky9441]

I always love your videos, go ahead aviation pro✌🏼️✌🏼️✌🏼️

[@AviationPro]

Thank you! :)

[@gepsky9441]

AviationPro good night aviation pro, clear to next videos on KZbin😂

[@AviationPro]

:D

[@heathrowspotter3274]

Merry Christmas Aviationpro! :)

[@AviationPro]

+heathrow spotter Thank you, you too! :)

[@1849ad]

Another great and very informative video! Keep up the great work, I can't believe how much I've learned from these videos! Goed bezig!

[@AviationPro]

Thanks you! :)

[@oliverhayes7342]

Love it. Great work sir.

[@AviationPro]

Thank you! :)

[@brodhaq]

Greetings from LKAA_CTR ;-) Great vid. I actually remember you being one of the first planes there, thats why I was pushing you at M.75 or greater, quite a lot of planes behind you, some of them I had to slow down significantly in order to achieve good spacing before ODNEM...

[@AviationPro]

Awesome, thanks! :) I see, makes sense, I had no idea how busy the route would be behind me, but I guess you controllers like that challenge :).

[@philipprobertz215]

Awesome video. Really enjoyable :)

[@AviationPro]

Thank you! :)

[@DJChizzlesworth]

Another good flight - thank you for all the content!

[@AviationPro]

Thank you! :)

[@maciekchmura6320]

Awesome flight😀

[@AviationPro]

Thanks! :)

[@Irakli0207]

Professionally done as always. keep up this educational videos. Thanks

[@AviationPro]

Thank you! :)

[@danelord1356]

Hoi. you make some good videos, nice i learn a lot from them

[@AviationPro]

Thanks a lot! :)

[@massimodalessandro9259]

Hello, great video as always! I’m not sure if you know this but if you wanted to experience Western U.S.A. only ATC, (ie busy LAX) take a look a Pilotedge. Their radios are crystal clear. Take care!!

[@AviationPro]

Thank you! Yes I've heard about it, also watched some videos but in my opinion it's a bit too clear, not simulating VHF radios accurately. Nice that they have great coverage of that area though :)

[@michiscz]

make more these videos we love it

[@AviationPro]

Will do, thanks! :)

[@umairzakir5040]

Nice flight..

[@AviationPro]

Thanks!

[@nolanmacdonald3263]

Nice video AviationPro! I was wondering if you have ever considered using pilotedge? From various videos I've seen it looks awesome!

[@AviationPro]

Thank you! Yes I have heard about it, but for me the quality on VATSIM is enough and I would not be able to use it enough to cover the costs that are associated with it ;)

[@nolanmacdonald3263]

AviationPro Ok! Thanks for the reply, Happy Holidays!

[@AviationPro]

Thanks, you too!

[@CryptoBlog230]

Are you like a professional pilot, I know your name is *Pro but I'm just wondering. I came across you channel a few days ago after watching GPS approach and it was educative! Thanks for such videos, well explained and fun to watch!

[@AviationPro]

No, I'm not a real world pilot. I just want to make professional videos with a professional touch, hence the name ;). Thanks for watching! :)

[@YdenPL]

Ahh, it's great to learn German at school, at least I can understand some words he says to the ATC in German :D

[@AviationPro]

Haha, probably the only use of learning foreign languages at school ;)

[@umairzakir5040]

I wish I had a pc like yours😂😂

[@AviationPro]

;)

[@dansanderson6956]

Great video as always! Because of your tutorial videos about VatSim I was able this weekend to fly my first and second ever flights online. Utterly terrifying but extremely exciting too. I didn't screw up too much, just forgot to do a couple of things, but the ATC controllers were very patient as I mentioned I was a novice in the flight plan. Quick question: When you turn off the runway after landing are you expected to report to Tower that you have vacated or do they normally give you automatic ground hand over? I know it's probably different depending on the country. Would you be able to fly from or to London Gatwick in a video? They normally have very good coverage with DEL, GND and TWR controllers. Keep up the great videos!

[@AviationPro]

Thank you! Glad to hear you made it to VATSIM :) It never hurts to say that you have vacated the runway, that's what I usually do. But sometimes ATC will already give you further instructions when on the runway, like "vacate next right, contact Ground 121.800." or they are simply ahead of you before you contact them. Some airports, like Amsterdam, have auto-handoff procedures so you have to contact Ground yourself without being given a handoff from Tower at all. In case you are not sure, you could still report vacated to Tower and he/she will probably just give you the Ground frequency ;).

[@dansanderson6956]

Thanks for the reply and the advice. I look forward to your next video.

[@AviationPro]

You're welcome ;)

[@747Baron]

Hey! Great video as always, :) by the way, why did you set initial climb altitude 5000ft in your, when it said 4000ft in the charts on 8:51 ? :D And why don't you use pmdg's pushback via your mcdu, it is kinda nice to set you at least a bit angled to the taxiway.. Anyways I love your videos, keep it up!)

[@AviationPro]

Thanks! Whoops, yes I think I accidentely put in the transition altitude, but indeed it should be 4000. I know about the pushback feature, but I never know how many meters to put in which gives you the risk of pushing back too long or too short :P

[@samryan7447]

actually the pmdg 737 has a biilt in push back its in the cdu

[@AviationPro]

Thanks, yes I know, but I never now how many meters to put in :P

[@haffletv9118]

*Great!*

[@AviationPro]

:D

[@ghostmansk651]

When you want to change you speed while having VNAV without FMC, just press SPD INTV button under VNAV button. BTW that was me on LZIB_TWR... I had to disconnect, because of change with another controller. And ou dont have to use full reverse. It is enough about 30% with autobrake 1. And you will nicely vecate via D. Dont worry we have long runways :D

[@AviationPro]

Thanks for being on Tower! :) Yes I know, I just wondered if there was another way to do it, but indeed SPD INTV would have been an option too :). And yeah, my Saitek throttle is configured in such way that it always applies full reverse, so I can't really control that, unless I buy a second throttle quadrant with axis for the reversers :D

[@ghostmansk651]

AviationPro Ahhhhhhh, I didnt know, so ok than. And I would appreciate video about UTX EUROPE, settings you have and LIGHTS. Because your lights look amazing!

[@AviationPro]

As far as I know, it's just UTX Europe with default settings :)

[@ghostmansk651]

AviationPro Rlly? So you didnt press anything? And are you using ftx global?

[@AviationPro]

Not as far as I can remember. I use FTX Global as well, but the lights you see are from UTX Europe V2 for Prepar3D.

[@eddiedorizon]

Does anyone know how to direct to a waypoint in an A320?

[@jacopo1739]

hi you are a real pilot? your videos are amazing!!!

[@AviationPro]

+Jacopo Winchler Thanks! No, I'm not ;)

[@Domcula3]

i am from slovakiaaa :))

[@AviationPro]

Awesome! :D

[@seemajain1779]

awesome

[@AviationPro]

Thanks!

[@thedanishbaconlover8755]

Tbh, I am a little sad that you have switched to P3D. I really enjoyed watching your vids because they were different from Manu others. BTW I still enjoy your videos ;-)

[@AviationPro]

Don't worry, it's just a new suit but the content will stay the same with an emphasis on educational value ;)

[@BMW335DA]

Great video, with a lot of "smooth" ;o) Maybe u wanna fly to EDDN. Full ATC every monday, would be a pleasure to control you.

[@AviationPro]

Haha, thanks! :) Yes I know about it, who knows EDDN will be next sometime :)

[@weficze7967]

very nice me dad flying on travel servuce airlanes is great airlinies

[@AviationPro]

Nice! :)

[@mgtv3460]

Pls help I have p3d v3 and I buought The Bratislava airport then I download The folders and create for me folder addon scenery in file lockeed marten and I cant activate IT pls can you help me where I can activate IT thx😓

[@AviationPro]

You should just add the scenery to the scenere library and let the sim regenerate its things and then it should work. Please do note that this scenery is not officially compatible with Prepar3D.

[@SPOTTERTLV]

hi, any particular reason not to use GSX or AES?

[@AviationPro]

AES is not compatible with Prepar3D. GSX I'm still thinking about ;)

[@hamzarabie8362]

can i know why always you fly in the night i want to see a full flight for you in the morning and great video

[@AviationPro]

Thanks! Because there is no ATC in the morning on VATSIM and in the afternoon not enough for a good video ;)

[@hamzarabie8362]

ok thanks for your answering i love your videos continue my freind waiting another video

[@AviationPro]

You're welcome :)

[@hamzarabie8362]

thanks

[@alippay2]

Nice video as usual. How hard was to instal T2G LZIB on P3Dv3?

[@AviationPro]

Thanks! Not hard, just use the Estonia Migration Tool and LZIB will work fine in P3D. I had reports that Kosice doesn't work in Prepar3D though, so that's kind of sad. Really hope Taxi2Gate will make all their FSX installers and sceneries compatible with P3D sometime.

[@MrRisbel]

Hello, very instructive video. Which soft are you using to get connected in VATSIM? Vpilot? If so, which software or library do you use to have AI traffic with Vpilot?

[@AviationPro]

vPilot, and I'm using World of AI for traffic ;)

[@Escylon]

Do you have to recalculate fuel consumption if you increase your cruising speed and/or stay below your cruising altitude for a longer period?

[@AviationPro]

You don't need to recalculate, but it's useful to update the FMC with the new data to make sure you still arrive with enough fuel at your arrival airport. The flight plan takes into account these kind of deviations, there is always some extra fuel in the airplane for that. And it's not a very big difference in fuel consumption probably ;).

[@maroon9980]

Can pilots use Flap 1 on the 738 if it meets the limits/circumstances? Or is that only for the 736 and 737

[@AviationPro]

I think they can, but I believe flap 5 is the usual setting.

[@raghavvemuganti782]

How do you predict what runway you will take off from?

[@AviationPro]

Look at the METAR or ATIS for the wind direction, from that you can deduce what runway is likely to be used. Or listen to the ATIS of your arrival airport to know the exact landing runway.

[@srivatsanchandrasekaran8546]

can you explain what is the "trend noisg" @13:30 in atis information!!!!???

[@AviationPro]

It just kind of means that it will tell you what the weather trend will be for the next couple of hours. NOSIG means No Significant Change, so the trend for the next few hours is that the weather won't change significantly ;)

[@totoritko]

Bombed my PPL written on this question. NOSIG = no change in weather conditions (precip) & cloud cover expected for the next 2 hrs.

[@philipjensen6442]

great video, are you enrolled in a real flight school?

[@AviationPro]

Thanks! No, still studying at university ;)

[@TheDanishGamer98]

Nice video! Which version of prepar3d is best for the money. I'm asking since I don't earn the greatest money atm. #2. Which license have you bought/should I buy? I'm still pretty confused. Is it the academic license?

[@AviationPro]

Buy the Academic license, it's cheaper and the simulator itself is the same as all the other licenses. You will only have a small watermark in the top-right corner.

[@Dx11Engine3D]

nice

[@AviationPro]

Thank you! :)

[@matejmarcek7582]

Very nice flight !! :) I just would like to ask why did you choose BTS as destination ? I am from Slovakia and I really appreciate your choice :) :) :)

[@AviationPro]

Thank you! I fly quite often there in the sim, because of the nice central location, small airport, and nice ATC :). And this was also a VATSIM event with guaranteed ATC availability which makes it better for the video ;)

[@matejmarcek7582]

Awesome :) :) I really like your videos. All the best ;-)

[@AviationPro]

Thanks! :)

[@flynnbrown3765]

were do you Look Up the vatsim frequencies?

[@AviationPro]

There's a list of active ATC and their associated frequencies in your pilot client.

[@flynnbrown3765]

AviationPro thanks so mutch. so wenn i Open vpilot i Just saw there is a pannel were i can See the Controllers. THX so mutch👍 PS: Great Video

[@laurenzo4051]

Are you going to take a part in Fly and see santa?

[@AviationPro]

No, exams :(

[@Music-iz7tg]

welke prepar3D heeft u V1 V2pro enz... en welkesite??

[@AviationPro]

Prepar3D V3, je kan het beste de academic license kopen via prepar3d.com

[@robinmyrvold6810]

are you using VPilot?

[@AviationPro]

Yes

[@GIZZIT12]

I wanna use vatsim so much, but I'm so scared 😂 just over things like I don't o ow how to go direct to waypoints and I have a very bad memory, so I wouldn't remeber what that say 😂

[@AviationPro]

That's a matter of practice, here are some good tips: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5TQgJpsnqiLjbM

[@GIZZIT12]

AviationPro Thank you, I'll check it out!

[@markhuijser7057]

Hey leuke video ff een vraagje wat gebruik je voor modelmatching?

[@AviationPro]

Thanks! World of AI met vPilot.

[@markhuijser7057]

ja precies, gebruik je dan nog versie 1 van vpilot want op versie 2 lijkt ie minder goed te werken met WOAI.

[@AviationPro]

Volgens mij heb ik versie 1 idd, de stable version.

[@robinmyrvold6810]

How do you find the SEL/OAT? Im gonna buy the PMDG 737 NGX, and i want to know how to operate it before getting in to the cockpit for the first time. And what do the TO-1 and the TO-2 means (In N1 Limit page) BTW i like your videos very much :D

[@AviationPro]

Thanks! I usually put in a random value for that, but there are ways to calculate it by using TOPCAT together with PFPX. TO-1 and TO-2 are standard thrust reduction settings, TO-2 giving the most reduction.

[@robinmyrvold6810]

dankje :D

[@flightoffancy7284]

I recommend this formula for working out an assumed temperature: OAT x N1 √ So for example, 22°c OAT 26k 98.0% N1 22 x 98 = 2156 √ = 46 so an assumed temp of 46°c! Happy flying :D If the result is

[@wim2817]

Are you a pilot with license?

[@kieranreidd]

Hey! How did you tweak your P3D to increase fps? My specs are Intel i5 4570 @3.2GHz, 8GB RAM, GTX 1060 6GB and somehow im not getting amazing fps in P3D

[@AviationPro]

Check out this guide, it should help quite a lot! kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZavp3qgnah3mZY

[@kieranreidd]

Thanks, Hope you are well!

[@AviationPro]

You're welcome, doing well! ;)

[@kieranreidd]

What is Hyper Threading and do you have it enabled?

[@karstaboi3330]

Why do you say Sierra in such an unusual way?

[@AviationPro]

Welcome to Europe's accents I guess?

[@karstaboi3330]

AviationPro I'm European and I don't say it like that. Maybe it's because of your country...

[@robertjohansson8768]

never rotate above 10deg before you have climbed 10ft on takeoff, that equals tailstrike in a 737-800

[@jviation737]

Actually no. He had the F/D on, *and he followed the F/D* For VR, the F/D displays how high to pitch up, and it calculates it *and factors in a Tailstrike* The F/D along with the entire A/P is much better than human's decision

[@robertjohansson8768]

actually yes, i have my sources from my 737 captain dad. The FD only show a vertical path, it has no special function depending on aircrafts. When the HUD where being used in the 737 there was a maximal pitch line showing and it changed depending on which aircraft you sat in. There is also a altitude from where you can begin trusting on the FD. During rotation no more then 10 deg before +10ft is the recomendation to avoid tailstrike.

[@jviation737]

Robertson J 'recommendation' I've talked with pilots and crews, and during all takeoff procedures, the crew pull up to match the F/D. That's how it goes. I've flown in a 737 multiple times, I've been told to do it, and I've talked to WN pilots, and they do it. Watch any, *_and I mean, any_* takeoff from the flightdeck. Nearly every time (always exceptions), they pitch to the F/D, right after the takeoff. _Why would the F/D raise up if the pilot were not to 'trust' it?_ "There is also a altitude from where you can begin trusting on the FD" - The F/D (in a nutshell), tells you what to pitch and bank to. It handles on landing, and takeoff. Around 2000 ft _(this varies)_ LNAV AND VNAV takeover, not "trust the F/D". During rotation no more then 10 deg before +10ft is the recomendation to avoid tailstrike. - Bud, there are tons of variables for this. Velocity, CG, Weight, etc. There are (mathematically) plenty of circumstances, where you can pitch to 10 deg. *After all, in the video, he clearly was climbing fine and was having no issue, along with no sign of a tail strike* Watch the takeoff again, (or go to 27:56 if you're impatient) and notice how he *clearly* has no tailstrike issue and he is 10-14 feet above the ground at 10 deg (which fits *your* requirement). Not to mention the V/S which was fine as well "The FD only show a vertical path" - That's a flat-out lie. Either you never have seen a F/D, you're lying about your father, or you're making stuff up. *The F/D moves on the X-Axis buddy. Not just up and down. It turns and banks.* Proof? - aol.it/2hIpjDt and bit.ly/2i3gOnw "When the HUD where being used in the 737 there was a maximal pitch line showing and it changed depending on which aircraft you sat in. " - Not really, the HUD displays the same information as the lower panels. *The entire point of a HUD is to display information from the lower panels and PFDs faster and instead of looking down. They also allow for better visibility in night and help with ILS approaches, but that's for landings, and can show the horizon when there is low visibility* All-in-all, the takeoff was fine, and thus he knew what he was doing. He didn't tailstrike the aircraft, and from experience in real and simulated 737s, he did a fine job. -Cheers

[@robertjohansson8768]

JordanCO_ TV boeing has its limit on 10deg rotate before 10ft on the 737-800. And of course i know the FD moves on the x axis as well BUT how often do you turn within maybe 100ft? or 50ft? how it moves on the x axis isn't important when we're talking about rotation. Maybe you think i lie about my dad but i you can't know for sure of course but i know and i am going to trust his 20years of experience. What i wrote was the information he gave me and that is what i am going to believe in.

[@jviation737]

Robertson J Did you not read what I said about the actual VR he did in the video? I'm guessing you did not, thus I'm going to repeat myself. Watch the takeoff again, (or go to 27:56 if you're impatient) and notice how he clearly has no tailstrike issue and he is 10-14 feet above the ground at 10 deg (which fits your requirement). Not to mention the V/S which was fine as well You completely ignored what I said about the HUD (which disproved what you said and was correct), thus we're going to assume I was right and move on from it. "And of course i know the FD moves on the x axis as well BUT how often do you turn within maybe 100ft? or 50ft? how it moves on the x axis isn't important when we're talking about rotation." - You're trying to say it like I'm talking about it turn on takeoff. *You said it doesn't turn at all, I just said, "you're wrong, it does"* . _Nothing more, nothing less. You're putting words into this, when really, I was just proving how what you said was wrong_ "boeing has its limit on 10deg rotate before 10ft on the 737-800" - Again, you've completely ignored what I said about the actual takeoff in this video. *Please, re-read my comment* "Maybe you think i lie about my dad but i you can't know for sure of course but i know and i am going to trust his 20years of experience. What i wrote was the information he gave me and that is what i am going to believe in." - Uncle is 744 captain (Atlas Air), and my entire family revolves around aviation (I'm not going to describe it all, as I find that as boasting. Point being, you're not the only one with aviation-information at disposal). Long story short (since you ignored what I said last time), *go to **27:56* and see how he clearly does not tail-strike the aircraft. At VR, he rotates up at first 5 deg, then continues to match the F/D. *It's standard procedure* Some crews climb to 8 deg (from reading) and continue up. If you're Dad says that you'll tailstrike at 10 deg *everytime* in a 738, then that's on him. I've seen 737s do it the way I've said it, and I've spoken to experienced (777, 767, 757, MD-80/90/717, 747, etc) crews about it, and they all say the same thing. The takeoff was perfectly fine, and quite outstanding to say the least. He *didn't tailstrike* and he climbed perfectly fine. I've seen plenty of times where the crew will say something (and after researching) it not add up. After researching, *I've found no evidence to prove that Boeing has a limit of 10 deg* (However, I've found things that support what I've said) www.flaps2approach.com/journal/2014/8/4/boeing-737-800-takeoff-procedures-simplified.html "Normal lift-off attitude for the B737-800 is between 8 and 10 degrees providing 20 inches of tail clearance at flaps 1 and 5. Tail contact will occur at 11 degrees of pitch if still on or near the ground. Liftoff attitude is achieved in approximately 3 to 4 seconds depending on airplane weight and thrust setting." *WHICH PROVES MY POINT* I don't see any good reason in replying. All points were made (I know you're reading this too), and there is really nothing else to add to it. Good day

[@turbopwr1500]

what model matching are you using?

[@AviationPro]

World of AI with vPilot.

[@turbopwr1500]

Can you do a video on how to install WOAI in P3D and configuring them in vPilot as when I tried it myself I nothing worked. Thanks

[@AviationPro]

Just use vPilot 2, it's a new release. It will automatically do model matching for you, it can't get easier than that ;)

[@sanxenxo209]

Are you gonna fly x plane 11 when it comes out or stick with P3D?

[@AviationPro]

I will stick with Prepar3D ;)

[@sanxenxo209]

AviationPro oh ok I just like x plane 11 because of the night lighting but I might stick with P3D as well

[@AviationPro]

Yeah I like the lighting of X-plane too, it looks more realistic. But Prepar3D has so much more addons (Active Sky weather engine, PMDG airplanes etc.), a bigger community and I have more experience with Microsoft Flight Simulator so I will stick with Prepar3D as well :)

[@sanxenxo209]

AviationPro can't agree with you more!

[@pshores]

I've been flying FSX for a while now and feel ready for vatsim. Unfortunately the CD controller really intimidates me. I don't think it's reasonable to expect us to understand what he was saying. It was really incomprehensible. What to do? Great video btw

[@AviationPro]

Thanks! You could just tell him that you can't hear him properly, sometimes people just need to buy a new microphone or wear/use them properly. Otherwise, just ask him to repeat via text so you at least know what to do.

[@carebelademoguer]

Do you recommend me switiching from xplane to P3D????

[@flyingdolphino5757]

El mago de Soyuk No way. P3d may have more addons available then x plane, but x Plane looks better out of the box, and has way more realistic physics. Buy a good payware plane and the rest is freeware.

[@AviationPro]

I can't tell that, that is really based on your own preference. Indeed, X-plane looks good out of the box, but it does not have many addons like good weather engines or nice looking clouds. Also, the market is a lot smaller so you will miss out on some good airplanes that are available for Prepar3D.

[@flyingdolphino5757]

AviationPro However the market for x plane is expanding and with the release of xenviro we now have a weather engine that looks nice too :)

[@carebelademoguer]

thanks for the reply, I was thinking from switching because really, yes xplane has very good payware addons IXEG 737 etc... but for instance the a320 from jar design is a lot behind compared to the aerosoft one (It's cheeper) or the 737 800 that xplane has it's not EVEN payware is a freeware so it can't be compared to the pmdg one that is....AMAZING. Xplane has better physics and very good night lighting but again the lack of 10/10 payware aircraft and addons compared to xplane is reason why I am thinking about the change.

El mago de Soyuk This is what i tend not to understand. The pmdg 737-800 is about on the same level of the ixeg 737-300. They are both study sims. Ill tell you now that the 300 is more entertaining to fly. This point aside PMDG have said they will be moving the 737-800 to x plane as soon as they can. Its a waiting game. The question you want to ask yourself is, do I want to go with a 32bit aging program which looks good with help of its addons but however requires a beast of a machine and does not take advantage of your machine OR do you want a new 64bit program which looks ok out of the box and be made to look better with help for many freeware addons and some payware but have to wait a bit until as many good quality addons are available as now in FSX/P3D. If you do switch to p3d and spend hundreds on addons then find 1 year down the line xp11 has good alot of good ones too but has all the advantages it has today. And about the addons, there are sufficient. Aircraft, you got them (with the exception of a good airbus, but new ones are releasing next year), weather? X Enviro/skymaxpro. Ground services? Jar ground handling deluxe, Scenery? all is free. It is your decision.

How the hell do u understand what the atc is saying with their bad microfones??

[@AviationPro]

Practice ;)

[@afonsomiranda3817]

True

[@timvanderkooij5088]

You are Dutch right?

[@AviationPro]

Correct

[@flyingdolphino5757]

What are your specs kind sir?

[@AviationPro]

See description ;)

[@flyingdolphino5757]

AviationPro Thank you!

[@minimums5831]

are you a real pilot and where do you get ur plans from? :)

[@AviationPro]

No, unfortunately not (yet) ;). Flight plans are created using simbrief.com and routes are from vatroute.net

[@Brbrbrbr12345]

Ben je nederlands?

[@AviationPro]

Jep

[@Brbrbrbr12345]

Ik dacht het al aan het accent

[@Brbrbrbr12345]

Welke provincie woon je?

[@AviationPro]

Ik woon in Rotterdam ;)

[@Brbrbrbr12345]

Oke das wat verder dan mij, k woon helemaal in friesland

Audio quality on VATSIM is dreadful. As a beginner to online ATC I've sat and observed a number of times and can honestly say 80%+ of comms is unclear to me. I've decided to start life on IVAO and in comparison I've understood every word transmitted during my first 5 flights......

[@AviationPro]

Stay tuned for a video coming soon that will help you to deal with the VATSIM radio quality. Indeed, it's not that good, but I don't like the Teamspeak sound of IVAO either, which is somehow too clear and you can often hear the echo of people's rooms which is unrealistic as well.

[@juliusvanboxel5471]

Are you going to buy X plane 11?

[@maroon9980]

He said probably not because there are not many addons, and he is more familiar with the FS platform

[@juliusvanboxel5471]

oh ok

[@AviationPro]

Ozan is correct, indeed I'll stay with Prepar3D.

[@juliusvanboxel5471]

ok

[@markmbalagtas2230]

hot hot hot....😉

[@mgtv3460]

pls you are boss you can help me :D

[@gl7080]

Hello, Perfect flight Thank you. Maybe add www.justflight.com/product/map to you flights ;) Have a dice day. Bedankt maar weer!!

[@AviationPro]

Thanks! :) Nice addon, although I don't think I would regularly use it.

[@patrickmollette15]

YOURE WEARING A PILOT UNIFORM FOR A FLIGHT SIM FLIGHT. WTF. you're one of those people. done nothing to earn the uni = dont wear it.

[@AviationPro]

Yes I am one of those people, thank you. If you want an explanation, watch this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqvZiXh4mq-CkLc No need to use Caps Lock and shout here. Assuming you have a pilot license, I am sure you are able to show a normal attitude toward a fellow aviation enthusiast.

[@patrickmollette15]

ahhh. just watched your explanation video. I thought you were the person who wears it around airports, for all flight sim flights, and around town to make it look like you're a pilot. my bad. blue skies.

[@AviationPro]

Thanks ;)

[@Morgow1]

ATC is barely comprehensible.

[@AviationPro]

That's why I wear a headset where I can only hear ATC audio, makes it a lot clearer than running everything together with flighsim sounds through the speakers.

[@Morgow1]

AviationPro Yeah, but they ought to do something to improve the program that makes this "radio voice". ATC quality is not that poor in real life as far as I've heard on youtube,

[@AviationPro]

Agreed, I have no idea what they are going to do about that and if they even are :P

[@Morgow1]

AviationPro Let's hope and see I suppose.

[@flyingdolphino5757]

Morgow tbh the quality of the controllers is probably either because 1) bad microphone or 2) they haven't set their squelch correctly in their client. First lesson for me in atc training was to get the squelch right cause otherwise you get a bunch of background noise etc making it sound rubbish

[@AviationPro]

NEW VATSIM VIDEO IS OUT! Bergen to Stockholm! :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4THfX6fZb15nMk

[@landi191919]

nice flight.

[@AviationPro]

Thanks!

[@Rasmorak]

Why does every single controller on Vatsim sound like they are talking through tin cans? Is it just the network audio quality?

[@AviationPro]

Partly the network audio quality, but usually also controllers using bad microphones or not using them properly. As you can hear in some of my other videos, some controllers are actually easily understandable, some are not.

[@ghostmansk651]

I have just noticed airstairs on the thumbnail. Travel Service aircrafts do not have them ;)

[@AviationPro]

Yeah I thought so too :P

[@WertCZEEE]

What program are you using for OFP ?

[@AviationPro]

Simbrief

[@AfrobearxD]

The reason why I dont join Vatsim is because I just cant understad a word what they are saying. I understand aviation phraseology but they seem like they are speaking to them selfselfs.

[@AviationPro]

If many other people can understand controllers, why don't you give it a try? ;) Remember, I'm using a headset for ATC, so it's filtered from all the other flight simulator sounds, it's already a whole lot more clear than you hear in this video.

[@AfrobearxD]

ok thanks im going to give a shot :) by the way nice video :D

[@AviationPro]

Thanks! :)

[@Ryan1236]

Great video mate! Goede film! Kan niet wachten op meer
