Flight Simulator 2004 Chicago to Paris by Air France

[@GeForceGG]

Man, I REMEMBER this video. Super nostalgic! It was so cool watching when I was younger. Now I watch it and it gives me a feeling that no other videos of this type can give me this feeling. Especially when right now I'm reading rainbow six fanfiction and the music just immerses me in it. I know I'm just rambling on, but seriously, you make some amazing fsx videos! I hope this hobby stays a good one for you for years to come! :D

[@Musicguy421]

Thank you for your comment! I'm happy to hear there are fans that still love my videos and come back to watch them to this day. Knowing these videos bring so much joy is what keeps me determined to make more videos someday in the future.

[@GeForceGG]

You're very much welcome. Seriously, this video is one of my most favourite flight videos for FSX. It's just so awesome and beautiful to see a full flight done in a program, like you feel like you're actually there. I know this comment is a little late but you've definitely inspired me to become an airline pilot when I become older. Thank you so much for all the inspiration and creativity you've given me from this video!

[@kevinthomas9667]

Watched this video in 2010 and remember exactly everything 12 years later!

[@Musicguy421]

great memories!

[@MsterBeater28]

wow I haven't watched this in a minute I remember watching this when I was 10 in 2010 and now I'm pursuing my dream of being a pilot

[@Musicguy421]

Happy to know this video has been inspirational for you!

[@CEARAAAAAA]

Same for me! :D

[@juliang9809]

Musicguy421 Same here, thanks for making these videos. It inspired me a lot.

[@dimitrichevailler4547]

After all these years, I’m still here, enjoying a few of your videos. Never getting rid of it !

[@Musicguy421]

glad you still enjoy it!

[@InHG-uk8fb]

The best video I've ever seen. Brings tears to my eyes every time. Maybe its because I haven't travelled since Covid. Seriously, thank you.

[@Thisisnttheguyyourlookingfor]

Hey how are you doing!! This is one of my favorite videos in KZbin! Remember watching this in 2012 when I was a young child who loved aviation/fsx videos and watch them all day. Time flies so fast since I am an adult now and this channel really built my music taste, from Coldplay and U2, The Verve to other artists like Moby! I thought this video was lost forever till I found it last year and I still visit to watch your videos in nostalgia so often! So... Thank you for the great memorys and wish you the best 😄😄

[@Musicguy421]

I'm glad this video has stayed up all these years (some of my other videos get blocked when the music is taken down for copyright reasons). Glad you still come back to watch my videos!

[@senna9035]

I miss the old days 🥲 So many chaotic things in 2024 😬

[@Musicguy421]

I know right! Why does it seem last decade was more peaceful?

[@baltazarrodriguez11]

I randomly remembered this video. I saw it a few years ago, and it made me excited to become a pilot,which I'm in the process of. Thank you, great video.

[@Musicguy421]

Thanks for stopping by! Yes, also in the process of becoming a pilot myself (although just as a hobby)

[@GustavoOliveira-gj4xx]

Dos 12 aos 21 anos de idade viciado neste vídeo!

Obrigado!

[@juliang9809]

I've been watching you're channel since I was 6. So about 7 Years.. I would always come from school and go to my mother's job and go on KZbin to watch your video's. It made me feel good and It made me wan't to be a pilot. You inspired me to be an Aviation Geek and I thank you 999 Billion times!

[@Musicguy421]

+Julian Gutierrez You're welcome! I'm happy to see my videos have been inspirational

[@mayureshacharya3838]

Who thought that these fs2004 flight videos of yours would bring the aviation geek out of everyone who watched them back then. And for me it was this very video. Had watched this when I was 9 or 10 maybe. Now 19. Time flies fast as Concorde lol. Wish you had continued but nevertheless atleast we have these. These videos are still unintentionally inspiring! Hope you make more such vids if time permits (this time with FS2020 xD). Cheers!

[@Musicguy421]

yes, i'm glad so many enjoyed these videos! Too bad my computer crashed back then and then I ran into copyright issues using so much music in my videos. Maybe someday I'll post flight videos again!

[@catman6668]

I used to watch this video a lot when I was little. Now, 14 years later, this brings so much good memories! (at this date, working at EFHK airport as a ramp agent, and I think this video has affected that decision a lot, so I guess I need to thank you!) Edit: almost FIFTEEN YEARS!?

[@Musicguy421]

I know, time "flies", right? Glad this video had a positive influence on your career decision

[@isaacribeiro5859]

I just love this video. I watched it many times and did it even now again. Your choices for the songs were just great, though. It matched perfectly with every part of the flight. A real good job. Congrats and thanks for posting it :)

Man I used to watch this video faithfully everyday. Liked it so much that I tried to make my own but got discouraged when I saw they weren't like yours lol. Thanks for the memories 👌

[@Musicguy421]

Thanks! It took me a year to get my videos to this level. I'm sure you can too with time !

[@joaocasadinho5635]

already said but I say again and one of the best videos I've seen the youtube fs9 congratulations

[@Musicguy421]

Thanks!

[@Musicguy421]

Music is U2. U2 is the band that composed "Beautiful Day," the song starting at 7:25.

[@colemanb.7223]

Goddamn the nostalgia is crazy... I’m still waiting for the encore!

[@Musicguy421]

maybe one day if i get msfs 2020!

[@Musicguy421]

@air7471998 this is FS2004, so there is no deluxe version. The animated jetway comes from Aerosoft AES.

[@Musicguy421]

@hgvwi that is part of the scenery, which is aerosoft aes. the jetway comes to the plane automatically after the plane is parked.

[@Musicguy421]

@Muffinman53ify Both Chicago and Paris were airports with addons. Chicago uses fsdreamteam's addon, and paris uses aerosoft simwings's addon. Aerosoft AES were put into both addons.

[@Musicguy421]

@thematteodihockey no. 447 is the flight number formerly used for flights from rio de janeiro to paris. the tail number is generic in this video. the window view is from active camera

[@hockey101cool]

How do you change what airlines your plane is with? Btw, I wish I could subscribe to you at least 20 times... you really deserve them! Keep them up man!

[@Musicguy421]

The car is from a payware add-on Aerosoft Airport Enhancement Services (AES). If you want to simply push back, press shift+p. To move the camera, you need the numbers on the numpad to move around, or you need a joystick. Also, another addon called F1View lets you move the camera with your mouse. The flight is recorded using a payware program called Fraps.

[@ThatGuyFromDefta]

awesome video man! the first plane ride i took was when i was 5 years old and i took air france from o hare to paris and the 2 songs were popular at the time

[@nathanchu2538]

nice landing,graphics,and fully clear flight atendent anoncement and captain.

I remember watching this when I was 11 years old. Now I'm a CFii in an airline training program scheduled to fly the 321 in just about two years.... time sure goes by fast

[@Musicguy421]

congrats! I'm excited for your future!

[@Musicguy421]

@Jaso4444 that thing that pulled me is a pushback truck, part of aerosoft aes. the safety procedures is a recording added in during movie editing

[@Dimaxo97]

When i was young i wasn't able to get a proper PC to play flight simulator, and i was dreaming watching this videos to get a new one one day to play my own flights. So nostalgic moments🥹

[@Musicguy421]

@GeekyMacBoy1 the car pushback is from aerosoft aes. the wet floor is a texture that came with the scenery package fsdreamteam chicago

[@AN225brando]

great video!!!!! Has the aircraft also the virtual cocpit??? Sorry for the english, but i'm italian! Thank you for answer and for this beatiful video!

[@Ayresii1995]

Wow I remember watching this when it first came out! It still looks great even in 2021! Great work

[@Musicguy421]

thanks! glad you're still enjoying it after all these years

[@flightman123221]

Hi. Great video. I was just wondering whether you used fsrecorder for this video. thanks

[@Musicguy421]

@janeck123 the pushback truck is from aerosoft's aes. The scenery is from FsDreamTeam and Aerosoft

[@lelecosaqua]

@Musicguy421 Okk , tankkss a lot ! And good Video ! Keep doing this ! And , what program do u use to records?

[@Musicguy421]

@pilotnicco An important factor to consider was that the pilots did not perform proper maneuvers either. Instead of flying around the storm, they decided to increase altitude, and pitched the aircraft so far up that it began to stall. Even when stalling, they did not pitch the aircraft down to recover, so the aircraft entered free fall. By the time the pitot tubes turned back on, the alarms confused the pilots more, so they were never able to level the Airbus again.

[@Musicguy421]

@thematteodihockey no. 447 is the flight number formerly used for flights from rio de janeiro to paris. the tail number is generic in this video

[@Musicguy421]

@hgvwi thanks. the speaking was a sound added during editing. the information above airplanes was there by default since those planes are AI planes. The jetway is there because the scenery, which is aerosoft mega airport charles de gaulle, comes with them.

[@Musicguy421]

@AreUBlem no, it just lets you fly around, usually free flight. however, you could do some missions that do give you rewards, and you can also play online with other people.

[@kertzey]

nice song selection! really fits well even actually when you're travelling long hours.. must have this game!

that was a great video! great flying, landing was perfect and i liked how you put the last song with the landing! :D well done :)

[@wilbermartinez6239]

I used to watch this video when I was teenager, it just reminisced old teen's times

[@Musicguy421]

same, i go back to these videos time to time to reminisce on my childhood!

[@flightman123221]

hi this is a great video. please can you tell me where you got the cabin announcements from thanks

[@Musicguy421]

@kaq35 you will need to install many add ons for more graphics, and to start in taxi position, you need to select a gate from the starting position option on free flight.

[@Minalover100]

Beautiful video. One of the best I've seen of FS, Thanks.

[@Musicguy421]

@Mremirates97 I use the rudder control, which actually controls the front wheel while taxiing

[@Musicguy421]

@sam9524 it is part of the scenery, which are fsdreamteam o'hare and aerosoft simwings Charles de gaulle

[@Musicguy421]

@ramin20000 it depends on the sim rate. this flight could be changed from anywhere between 16 hours (1/2 rate of real time) to 1 hour.

[@kilikolo56]

@Musicguy421 oh so it's a "mod"? if yes where I can get it? because I love to see the world in airplanes like in your video with MOVIE - the music it's so peacefull

[@Musicguy421]

@ferben09 did you make sure the installation went all the way? and did you make sure you selected the right sim (select flight simulator 2004 if you installing into fs2004, and Flight Simulator X if you are installing into FSX). also, turn your traffic settings to the highest

[@Musicguy421]

@DeltaAirtran Thanks, the software for the airport is fsdreamteam Chicago O' Hare

[@Musicguy421]

@19bare87ar you may need a joystick to move your camera around, or you can download F1View. to get more planes, you need to set your airline traffic to high, and to make airports look like the one in this video, you must download addons from both aerosoft and fsdreamteam

[@Musicguy421]

@sam9524 you can get these cars and sceneries only if you purchase them online from their sites. They cannot be found in free libraries such as avsim or flightsim.

[@Musicguy421]

@phatcarz i am assuming you have the fdsfx panel. to make it work, just open it, and select one of the voices, such as takeoff, cruise, etc.

[@Musicguy421]

@TheF16luva press z to turn it on, and then go to the cockpit to adjust settings that you want, such as altitude hold and heading hold.

[@BorisKnoT]

Very nice video! I guess you are using a joystick to fly because i can't do it on my keyboard. Which one you recommend? I don't know much about which joystick is good for flying. And how do you get so good graphics on fs2004? I put on ultra high but it stays bad. Thanks.

[@Musicguy421]

1. You need to adjust throttle using F2 and F3; also use the arrow keys to turn, or use the rudder (ctrl+u) 2. To takeoff, line yourself with the runway with the instructions for 1. Then, set flaps using F6 and F7. Full throttle with F4 3. Arrow keys control your aircraft. 4. To land, reduce throttle, land yourself up with the runway, set flaps, and press G to lower your landing gear

[@PublicRestrictions]

This is still one of my favorite videos on KZbin

[@Musicguy421]

Thanks!

[@Musicguy421]

This is Flight Simulator 2004. I chose "Beautiful Day" since the music video for that song was shot at Paris Charles de Gaulle International Airport.

[@Musicguy421]

you select vor to vor on free flight. also on free flight, you can select your starting location to be at a gate.

[@Musicguy421]

@ParkishVids you just need to practice. to do an ils landing, enter the frequency of the runway you are trying to land on into the NAV1 radio. Then, descend to the correct altitude and approach the airport facing the runway you intend to land on. Then, you will automatically capture the glide slope (assuming your autopilot has been set to APP for approach). Your aircraft will automatically descend towards the runway, and you need to handle landing gear, flaps, and throttle.

[@Musicguy421]

@TheSkining for fs2004, you can press s to change views. to record, i recommend using fraps

[@Musicguy421]

air france 447 was a scheduled flight from rio de janeiro to paris on june 1, 2009. after departure, right before entering african airspace, strange transmissions were coming from the plane indicating some electrical trouble. moments later, all contact was lost. at first the plane was listed as missing, but recovery efforts showed that the plane had crashed into the ocean and there were no survivors. to this day the exact cause of the crash remains unknown.

[@mja72]

Beautiful. The simulation, music, everything. I'm totally new to all this and hoping I too can one day enjoy it in the same way.

[@Musicguy421]

@wisnu1231 make sure your master autopilot is on (press z). if that is not turned on, the plane will not respond to your settings. also, make sure the switch for each of those commands are on (there should be a light, for example, if you are flying an airliner)

[@Musicguy421]

@sam9524 it automatically lands by setting up an ils approach and then landing using autopilot. first set the frequency of the nav1 radio to the runway you are approaching, then the plane can do the rest by itself

[@WillEStone]

Which addons do you use dude! Awesome vid :)

[@Musicguy421]

@doubleea you can if you want. However, you can also change the sim rate, which would make the flight shorter or longer than real life.

[@air7471998]

brilliant video!!! hw do u do a full flite from pushback to landing???!!!!!

[@Musicguy421]

@MrPez101 the ground textures are part of the fsdreamteam chicago scenery

[@Musicguy421]

1. You should set a flight plan before you start your flight. 2. You should set your starting location to a gate (do this when selecting your airport) 3. Press s to change views, and use the numpad numbers to move around (or use a joystick) 4. The voice is a safety announcement added during the editing of this video.

[@Musicguy421]

@Mremirates97 if you are copying a panel for an aircraft, just paste it into that panel folder (open the folder of the aircraft to find it). if that aircraft does not have one, make your own

[@sdgsdgsdgsd3]

do you take requests? If so could you do a flight from Doha, Qatar to Dubai or somewhere in the middle east please?

[@Musicguy421]

Thanks! The safety video sound is recorded off youtube

[@quickcash345]

Dude where are u man :( I miss your wonderful videos

[@Musicguy421]

@nissanskyline1999 it is a sound recording added into the video during editing

[@Musicguy421]

The Fsdreamteam addon for chicago makes more gates, allowing for more aircraft present

[@Golfer7609]

at 2:38, you move the camera up a little. I can't get my fs2004 (got it like a week ago) camera to do that little of an adjustment. also seen at 5:00. Second, what is the scenery for the airports and what are the best in your oppinion. Thanks

[@shauncampbell969]

Hi ! Great video ! I can't say how you got the terminals into FS 2004 and how did you get Airbus into the platform. I can only upload planes that are the standard of the system; like Boeing planes or Cessna. Other planes, like Forker, Airbus, Honda Jet won't upload. Also, how did you get an inflight attendant's voice? Great work please let me know.

[@Musicguy421]

when you upload planes, make sure it's in it's own separate folder in the aircraft folder.

[@shauncampbell969]

Great thanks

[@thomsonfly645k]

@Musicguy421 what cruise altitude and speed would you recommend on this route because I was going to make a video of this route on the Meljet 777-200ER but i don't want to get close to running out of fuel I did CDG-ORD in 8:50 (1hr15 real time) in a 380

[@Musicguy421]

@BorisKnoT i do use a joystick. i recommend the logitech extreme 3d pro. to get good graphics in fs2004, you will need addons

[@Musicguy421]

@ManicDaddyMusic if your fsx does not lag that much, then you do not need fs2004. There is a separate Rex for fs2004.

[@Golfer7609]

Where did you get that A 330. Like can you give post the link because it looks really cool.

[@PureMuteMusick]

Awesome video!! But I have 2 questions. Is this Flight Simulator 2004 a century flight? If not can you please give me a link to the game your playing. Second I have a very slow old laptop so do you think it can work. Or do I need a faster laptop.

[@Musicguy421]

@DeltaAirtran no, you need to have aerosoft aes installed for the gates to move

[@CHISPA1999]

I remember watching it 10 years before in 2010. Later i had the chance of flying... 💫. Still my favorite channel ✨✨

[@Musicguy421]

Thanks! Glad you enjoy it!

[@Musicguy421]

@WBeulen the name of the song is at the end of the video.

[@Musicguy421]

@midoelgen777 the traffic is from world of ai. To get more planes, go to your settings and set the air traffic higher (50% or higher)

[@Musicguy421]

not really. These traffic models were designed to be frame-rate friendly. Most of them use a Level of Detail (LOD) mod, in which only the planes closest to you are detailed. The ones farther away are much less detailed, resulting in a simple model. However, the user does not see this loss of detail since those planes are farther away. You need to really zoom into them to see this in effect!

[@SuperWesty177]

oh right did you speed it up ? Any way i'm still learning the basics of this game but eventually ill do a Japan airlines from Auckland intl.( my home city ) to Tokyo Narita intl. Still doing basic training though :/

[@Musicguy421]

@Logan329100 the video is a recording that was put into the video when editing.

[@Musicguy421]

the name of this video is in the title. the music is at the end of the video

[@Musicguy421]

@hgvwi you need to use the keyboard to talk with the tower. For example, if you need to tune to the tower, you press 1

[@Musicguy421]

@ThatGuyFromDefta thanks, interesting to see that your first flight was this video

[@teapilas]

sorry i dont speak english one cuestion: what is the name of you video con music of Bob sinclair world hold on? thanks i like this video

[@Musicguy421]

@MrRumation Thanks. To improve your simulator, you just need to install addons. I recommend free ones from avsim to begin with.

[@Musicguy421]

@jpan84 the ipod has an app for youtube, so you should be able to find it there.

[@Golfer7609]

What traffic addon did you use? And is that an a310? And finally, try this route with a concord and from KJFK. It only took me like 2-3 hours.

[@Musicguy421]

@hgvwi like i said. these sounds were not in the game. they were added into the video during editing, not by pressing something in the game.
