Livestream first look at the Shorts Skyvan and ESMX Växjö Småland in Microsoft Flight Simulator

[@pythosdegothos6181]

This flying box is the predecessor of the Shorts 330, another boxy skinny winged commuter, with just a bit more aerodynamics. The 330 has Pratt and Witney PT-6s as well. For those that have the Black Box offering of that plane (and its successor the S 360) you can see the lineage of the manner the switches are done.

Used to fly in these from Isle of Man to Blackpool with Manx Airlines back in the 90s. Flying sheds we called them. Great planes but very loud I remember.

[@BBoaBrim]

Thanks for showing us this airport. I’ll get it.

[@philipfoster7269]

It's like a shed with wings. I like it.

I tried Surveyor variant today, I couldnt stop laughing. It turned into a candy cane striped Narwhal hippie van in the sky😅

[@Beery1962]

Reminds me of the aircraft in the movie "The Flight of the Phoenix", although that was a Fairchild C-82A Packet.

[@normanbyrne9868]

I was confused for a moment until I realized that the original 1965 movie used the C-82A because I had just watched the 2004 version ,with Dennis Quaid, and they replaced the C-82A with a C-119 Flying Boxcar for that movie. I like both planes though and wished a developer would add them into the sim for us to fly.

The plane used in the Argentinian death flights!

Has the Skyvan new or has it been released already I haven’t noticed it. Thanks for the video

[@GrubbyGrupper]

Got the info from you, thanks, big fan of the Skyvan

[@stigarvetogstad2875]

Airport looks great! But centrelinelights on the runway? Again did the developer "forget" to check the AIP or charts?

[@RasmussenFrank]

Hello Jonathan. Thanks for a awesome channel, really love it. Could be fun if you some time make a video explain how to use your head tracking device, how to get started and so forth, just a idea for a vid. Thanks so much. keep the sky blue 🙂

[@icarus372]

Complete noob here, but how do you change the heading?

[@jonbeckett]

The knob at the bottom of the HSI.

[@icarus372]

@jonbeckett omg how embarrassing, thank you lol

[@khrenaud]

Google isn't great at pronouncing. So I'll try to explain it. Växjö Start with V as in Victor, then eck as in the name Beck then sch and finally a sound like the e in jumper. Småland small and

That plane is so ugly it’s almost cute.

[@falcony100]

Another ugly plane added to the already bulky list. Jesus Christ

[@larryhaines7109]

At least its not another A320

[@rogerrees9845]

Thank you for another informative presentation...Roger...Pembrokeshire

[@donnieweston3249]

Your the white van man

[@thesimchannel8281]

There's a spot on the doors to open. I did that first before I found out there was a tablet. 😂

[@accentedpassingtone]

Hey Jon! Great video. Where is the stabilizer trim indicator to ensure takeoff trim is set?

[@frankdiehl8749]

Was looking for that as well...

[@graeabarth2227]

Great presentation once again! I remember this little boxy dude from the Observers Book of Aircraft. I even remember that the livery was Greek airline Olympic 😁 I’m tempted to add this to the fleet but getting a little expensive after recent purchases of the A330, Tornado and Dash-7 for X-Box. Still, I have the Blackbox SH360 so it would make a nice companion aircraft for the Belfast ‘Beauty’ 😂
