This sim is insane! Dude, you've saved yourself about $60K. Seriously, the next best thing to having your own aircraft. Your attention to detail on this flight is impressive and inspirational.

[@overnightclassic2]

This guy is a real pilot. That's why the detail is there

[@azureskys]

Really impressed with your setup, flying, and commentary. Thanks for taking the time to do these! Making me really want to build one and get back to flying.

[@HomeSimPilot]

Thanks a lot for watching! You should go for it!

[@natek2287]

9:17...close to a collision! Awesome setup

[@paulraggett7837]

Thank you for sharing the efforts you have put into the simulator. And taking the time to edit the video. Most enjoyable to ride along with you.

[@HomeSimPilot]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you very much

[@colinwalder5033]

Hi there Josh, Greetings from the UK. What a great job you have done on both your simulator and KZbin channel. I'm really looking forward to watching your other videos, thank you for making them available for us all to enjoy. I'm going to hit the subscribe button now. All the best and keep safe.

[@flower2289]

Very impressive. I am a retired pilot and just wanted to say this is probably one of the best times in the last 50 years for young people to go into aviation. I read an article about airline pay recently and it seems to be very good. With conservative money management you could easily retire as a multi-millionaire. Money is not incredibly important but it makes life a bit easier. Plus it is a very rewarding and interesting career.

[@danwilliamson1846]

Best Air Sim chanel by far really enjoyed the flight ✈️

[@SeamusMcNeil]

Excellent video mate - Thank you for walking us through the check lists. Looking forward to seeing the rest of your videos. I just watched this all the way to the end and your setup, and flying skills, makes this a very real trainer. Cheers. Jim

[@HomeSimPilot]

Wow thats awesome, thanks so much for watching. It means a lot. Im still learning everyday so I might make a few mistakes here and there but im glad to be able to practice from home. Cheers!

[@lesizmor9079]

In addition to the deserved praise in the comments, let me mention 2 critiques--- 1) Your call to New Cuyama area traffic, alerting any fliers to your approaching aircraft, was quite late. You were on right base, the 1st call should have been at least 5 miles out And the distance you were from the airport when you said to us that "no traffic in sight" was far enough away to miss some traffic. You may have kept a good eye out while getting in the pattern, but since this is an instructional sim video, mention to your viewers that watching for traffic at a non-towered airport is constant. 2) At a non-towered airport that's really in the boonies like this, a fly-over is recommended. This is for animal-on-runway check, and to check the condition of the runway surface. I don't know how it is now, but 2 years ago (2018) this runway was unusable from heat-cracked asphalt-- broken chunks all over the place, and white X's painted at both ends to say runway closed. But not regulation sized X's-- they were small enough to make you really have to look. The owner doesn't bother to update the Supplemental Chart booklet (formerly called Airport Facilities Directory). It's literally the Wild West sometimes, non-towered airports are a crap shoot and require serious diligence.

[@rbsims6376]

Man, your setup is one of the best I've seen. I think you're my new aviation here...Can't wait to see more...

[@dmc8078]

That is a beautiful set up you made. No annual required, low hourly operating cost, no bugs to clean off the windshield. Very cool!

[@gregsamolis8400]

Thanks for your work in setting up your flight sim and showing how realistic it is. I am 68 and always wanted to learn to fly and now you have given me a cheaper substitute that looks really good.

[@drwheycooler8423]

How excited are you for the new MS Flight Sim coming out?

[@intrus012]

Its out now, disaster and def not a simulator... It was made for XBOX and appears to be way more arcade focus. The game its gorgeous but i was sad to find out the facts.

[@intrus012]

Will Armitage Pls prove me wrong. Have a vid or something? The jet liners are incomplete, we don’t even have a full menu bar like we always did loaded with options to tinker with. Hell, the map in game is extremely basic too.. I do want to be proved wrong tho because I want to love this game.

[@Silenced_by_nazi_youtube]

Luckily thise are things that can always be improved with patches.

Just found your channel and I’m blown away! Incredible job with this, absolutely amazing. Looking forward to seeing more.

[@TinyMaths]

Only just stumbled on your channel a few days ago and loving the content. I'm not planning on building anything like a flight sim, but I'll eventually want to get into a vehicle sim setup (I enjoy bus sims), but all the same, it's almost therapeutic watching you fly and the setup is AMAZING.

[@gregb4421]

Sir: You've done an incredible job of assembling this amazing simulator. I'd trust your daily improving flying skills in an emergency any day. It's fun to fly along as your co-pilot.

[@stewiepid4385]

Thank you YT algorithm! Now I have some hope for my set-up and flight techniques. Love this channel.

[@ohcliff1030]

I was glued to the screen from jump street!!! The realism is incredible, and this has me so excited! I've been out of flying for several years, but have been yearning to get back into it. If I could have a simulation setup like this in my house, I wouldn't have to bust my savings to either buy a plane or start renting again! I could do all my flying in my boxers with my dog by my side! Thanks for sharing this info! Your video has inspired me! Now I just have to find someone near me here in Phoenix who is capable of helping me get it all set up!

[@Getfuckeddude]

Damn this is the COOLEST thing I have seen all year!

[@frankm2450]

Just found your site tonight. What a great simulator. Really enjoyed the flight with you.

[@tommyv4980]

I really hope this will all be a smooth transition for your when you switch over to the new Microsoft Flight Sim (assuming you're going to get it), and by that I mean I hope it'll be easy for all your components to function the way the currently do on the new Flight Sim. Especially if you're coming from x-plane.

Enjoyed your presentation. Thanks for taking the time to do this. You've just helped me find a way to spend the savings I've been hiding from my wife.....

[@IslandSimPilot]

One recommendation, and perhaps check with an instructor to confirm (rather than listening to some clown on the internet, i.e. me): put the carb heat on before you get out of the green arc with your power. I was taught to always have the carb heat on when you're outside the green in the 150/152.

[@MrPouHan]

Love your set-up and channel Josh - amazing. I'll be modeling my build after yours (like a lot of people I'm pretty sure). Couple flying observations - your downwind call was a little early - looked like you were still heading in the wrong direction when you called Right DW. And also, there is only one final (on a single runway), not a left or right. Blue Skies.

[@GamerronTv]

I Also love how you play the sim with a roleplay style taking what your doing seriously keep it up my friend .... Ever think of playing DCS! Could use a good wingman !

[@jhonazkabayantv9909]

Nice flight capt🙂 i enjoy watching it

[@larrywilkens7428]

I found you a while ago. I'm looking into a sim system and yours is very well done. I have to give up flying because of vertigo. But I love flight. What you have done is my dream sim. Keep up the great videos. Its fun flying with you. Thanks happy flying

[@cbraunsteins]

Impressive! And this Cessna is actual plane where I had flying classes in Curitiba/Brazil at AEROCON School! PT-TUB (Tub from Tubarão / Shark) !

[@dcxxxx]

It's like an ASMR video......only cooler. The hum of the engine and your voice is very soothing. It's like a mental massage.

[@joemorrow3954]

[@randho5150]

I've flown into/out of Oceano - there used to be a great little seafood joint within walking distance of the runway. My experiences with flight sims is that I haven't flown one yet, at least with the one monitor that I use, that isn't as hard or harder than the real thing. For one reason is that you don't have real world sensory inputs - which in certain situations you can't always trust in real flying, especially in IMC. If you can take off and land in a PC simulator consistently, you should be capable of real flying with appropriate time and instruction. One of the obvious differences is that some mistakes made in real world flying may cost you your life.

[@dennythomas8887]

you have great channel going on here. keep it up. I really love your set up.

[@HomeSimPilot]

Thank you so much!

[@johneyon5257]

fantastic - and with the incessant sound of the wind and engine - and the side views - that felt real - thumbs up

You are brilliant my friend.. as a long time lapsed glider pilot.. (and occasional P2 tug pilot).. I really enjoyed watching that. The whole concept of your presentation is spot on.... it was as real as it gets. Many Thanks, I will watch again.

Boy you make it real bro, tell you something Sir, I was learning to fly and soloed twice in the pattern and some dual cross country flight and night cross country flight. Yeah you make sound and feel real. Home in the Covid 19 lock down wishing I had my sim (Microsoft flight simulator} don’t have them now they messed up, going to try to make a simple one again, would really really like one like yours Brother I really feeling it. know in the pattern LOL you gat it!

[@Squirel]

Love your setup. Especially impressed with the transition from your forward to side views - seamless. Enjoyed the flight & video.

[@linkinahmed]

Hey boss try overhead departure method for cross country flight. It’s easier to circle around with airport insight until you level at crushing altitude than direct course to your destination. In real life flying when I go cross country Flight with my college they prefer I do set heading departure which Is also another good departure procedure as long as you have nav logged planned out. Those two for VFR cross country departure will make things much easier.

I swear the plane sounds like it has a bigger engine. This sim pit is awesome!

[@jay-rus4437]

Impressive setup man. It reminds me of my flight training in both a Cessna 152 and 172. Training was out of Tulsa Intl Airport. I can remember the first time doing stall training getting motion sickness and having to open the upper vents to get some hot “fresh” air in the Oklahoma heat. Really cool thing about the planes that I flew was that they were equipped with some really nice avionics. Not typical with 152s for sure

[@mastermushroom4757]

your setup and commentary is so good

[@SimPilotRick]

I just started getting into sim piloting. I'm just now starting this journey into this rabbit hole. I have a triple 32-inch monitor setup and I have a flight yoke and a 3 lever pack. I'm going to buy the foot Rudders probably next week. I am just now at the end of my flight training so I have so many questions that hasn't been answered. I'm obviously flying the Cessna 172. I have yet to figure out how to set my direction in degrees. I don't see which gauge would tell me that and they don't go over that in training. Everything else I figured out for the most part I still need to configure the start of the engine I have no idea where that is on my console I have the Logitech flight yoke and throttle cluster and I will be getting those pedals. I would very much like to get some actual gauges I can put on my desk that tell me the altimeter the flight speed and the direction in relation to degrees. Everything else seems to be pretty straightforward as you can see most of it on the - all you have to do is go through your PreFlight or pre Landing checklist. Plus at what time do you start interacting with Air flight control?

[@robertbass9032]

Thank You for an excellent view of how both you and your sim perform !!! Wishing you the very best in your flight training and travels afterwards ! (20+ yrs since last logged PIC time... was pvt w/instrum, sel working on com. Old L66 was home "base", now listed as AJO)

Some pilots don’t like airline flying. Try Corporate pilot. You do get to go to some cool places / also I think you get better rest periods. Airlines just overdrive the pilots.and there’s more stress.

[@wa4aos]

Excellent video. Thanks for sharing your passion for aviation. Recently, I have had the hots to buy a 172 and resume flying but between, the cost of the bird, annuals, BFR's, medicals, insurance, AV gas, hangar rental and don't get me started on the cost of an engine overhaul, the cost have persuaded me to consider, again, a flight sim. Your setup is so realistic that I think I'd be happy with holding onto my cash and put a lot less into a decent sim and enjoy the passion on a budget. I hope you continue to make videos. One thing I'd like to see would be some IFR work and more on tricks with VOR's. I am decent using a VOR to navigate with but using 2 or more and knowing all that goes on with that would be a good arrangement. BTW, I guess you know the long wire antenna on your 150 is for ADF... I don't hear much talk these days about using ADF navigation and MANY beacons are no longer active but if you can tune into a local AM broadcast station, it's not a bad way to get you close to your next airport..

[@barrysowell8216]

Excellent commentary with respect to procedures necessary to ensure safe flight. I haven’t flown in 10 years but thinking of getting current. At 62, I still love flying. Currently, I fly X-plane in VR on two platforms, the oculus rift and HTC Vive Pro Eye which has eye tracking capability I’ve owned, and flown, several flight sim’s, including one professional system at Liberty University. I’m curious what your thoughts are on flight sims such as what you have (very impressive!) and flying in VR.

5:50 I'm trying to understand the altimeter. In this case, he is at L52 (Oceano) which is located at 14 feet MSL. Why does it appear that his altimeter shows ~200 feet while sitting on the ground? I thought we set the barometric pressure according to AWOS, and that should align the altimeter to the correct local elevation of the airport.
