Dune Ornithopter over Sydney - MSFS 2020

Trying out flying the Dune Orinithopter in MSFS 2020
Skimming over Sydney with fast climbs and dives, a couple of flights under the Harbour Bridge and a landing in the Domain.
The second half has a landing on the roof of a building in East Sydney.
Another player was also flying an Ornithopter at the same time and they buzz me several times. Hi to them!

If there's a place on Earth that would have giant sandworms, it would be Australia

[@pillepolle3122]

No. Australian deserts are very rocky. It would be the Sahara or Ghobi.

[@idefkicabti4141]

​@@pillepolle3122 they could be able to terraform it?

[@krellin]

@@pillepolle3122 australian wild life would find a way, do not underestimate it :D

[@LisaAnn777]

Nah, Mongolia would.

[@musicalaviator]

Australia wouldn't have a giant sandworm. It'd have a man-eating sized venemous sandsnake.

I actually broke the sound barrier while diving.

[@DejectedCat]

heh, the thumbnail made me think somebody drew on my monitor with a sharpie marker.

[@poneill65]

Been there, done that! I spent a very tragic hour taking ornithopter selfies in front of the opera house, the eiffel tower, buckingham palace, etc, etc. I have no life!

[@Cipher73]

The coolest winged vehicle ever created that's physically impossible.

[@avatarxs9377]

not at the moment, maybe with future technology

[@Daimo83]

It's not an ornithopter it's an actual bug in Australia

[@Secretlyanothername]

I see you followed the one rule of MSFS - you must fly under the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Preferably from both directions

[@MaximGhost]

This is technically a crime. Computers are not allowed in the Dune-verse and you are using a computer to fly this ornithopter. I must report you to the authorities.

[@dSlayer6160]

Computers are not thinking machines...at least not the one running the game here

[@grantwells4491]

So cool!

[@theunraveler]

Atriedes! Atriedes! Atriedes!

[@furycat28]

The translation says "Come Back!"

[@antipattern0]

Dude this would be the loudest aircraft ever...those wingtips would be making sonic booms 10k / sec...worse than the Thunderscreach.

[@misterhool]

i was wondering what my site should be to fly in this graphic quality, actually :D

[@ozflightsim5974]

My hardware is modest by today's standards. AMD Ryzen 7 3700K, 32GB RAM and a RTX 3080Ti GPU

[@misterhool]

@@ozflightsim5974 thank you for reply man.

[@avatarxs9377]

@@ozflightsim5974 it's solid, my pc with 3060 ti which is great dont get me wrong, but i feel games nowadays are so poorly optimized that it's tough to get good fps.

[@kevinfoendoe6987]

Where are the sandworms??

[@Secretlyanothername]

Out in the eastern suburbs

[@ozflightsim5974]

Eaten by the sharks that cruise Sydney Harbour.

[@giggity582]

dope asf

[@uwebech5825]

Gotta wonder why there's no amphibious version eh? :)

When I was a kid I remember watching Dune but I thought it was like Tremors 😂

[@Del-Canada]

Nice vid. I have a few Ornithopter shorts on my channel.

[@Atlantida_Rising]

Wonderful! But we need to finish the start and end animations. And it seems a little sound, make it rougher.

[@jamesfulton215]

If these were real the only nickname I can come with for them is "the Australian Dragonfly".😅

[@AstraOG]

why is it so dang *fast* tho

[@Twitch380]

Unfortunately for that thing to actually move. That wing span would be a football field.

[@JerielLux]

I Wish Like Balls this would Run on Steam deck 😭

Australia is the real Arrakis

[@delunamarco]

Nice CGI

[@dasdguy7606]

Basically you're in an R22 on roids.

[@Uneldo7]

I saw one of these planes flying back in 2022 around March. Very cool to see in person. I think it's a US Army vehicle but I am not sure.

[@wovelscotch]

This is not what you saw.

[@Uneldo7]

@@wovelscotch No I saw it. 4 of them flying in a line formation over San Diego near the Marine Corps base. My brother in law who is in the marines told me they use this kind of helicopter. Very cool. He said it is like air ambulance

[@AW33406]

they're not real @@Uneldo7

[@Uneldo7]

@@AW33406 Hahahaha whatever bud. I know what I saw and I know what my brother in law (who is marine corps) told me. I saw 4 of these in formation over san diego in march of 2022. what can you say about that? you are just a troll trying to tell me real things arent real. ridiculous.

does anyone want to build this in real life? I do, but don't have the money for such a business.

Hey elon make this beauty

Lmao, you have too much faith in this Man child

He’s a joke

[@caribbaviator7058]

And this is one reason I would never trust a simulator for training purposes when we have garbage like this. I will stick with X-PLANE

[@DraftierFeline]

Just a quick question, what is wrong with this? Its meant for the casual audience, this isn't oriented for you. If you were pursuing flight training, wouldn't it make sense to utilize the study level aircrafts and implement the use of real-world procedures? The sim is fine
