Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 - Most Dangerous Airports and Landings

[@urbanshadow777]

The most dangerous airport on earth is Glasgow airport. Not for the take-offs and landings but because most of us Glasweegans don't make it through the duty free without alcohol poisoning.

[@FrankPetersonIII]

Imagine being a pilot knowing you've got your first landing coming up at one of these difficult airports and being able to practice it first with this sim. I imagine it would give you a lot more confidence going to do the real thing.

[@sidplays77]

Frank Peterson III true but don’t forget MSFS isn’t the first sim ever, commercial companies have been using flight sims for donkeys years to train their pilots so other than the visual fidelity of MSFS it doesn’t offer anything new.

They should have a variable for Iceland. No trees. Bushes, yes. Trees, no.

[@Petalflipper]

Didn't even catch how many trees there were. That's weird that it simulated TOO many trees. Its crazy we can even talk about a simulator simulating too many trees instead of not enough. Wonder what the AI detected that went "Yeah, tree there".

[@RCmies]

I was thinking something was off about it but couldn't say what

[@lakehouse9268]

Exactly, it looks so off with all of the trees, they are not supposed to be there...

[@jadeysting1883]

The autogen trees are a well documented problem in this sim, there are far too many and they are far too big, to the point that some approaches are practically impossible because they are blocked by massive 100 foot trees. As a result, many airports look like they are situated in the middle of a rainforest from the ground. This problem was highlighted right back in the very first alpha build, but sadly Asobo don't seem to have addressed it still.

[@julietsierra6818]

I'm a ppl here in Iceland, there are almost no trees literally at all in those hills and mountains, and none especially in that last hill on final, kinda ruins a fun approach. But all in all the sim looks great and I'm excited to get it, I'm happy with 90% of what I have seen so far. Just hope they do something about those darn trees.

[@teddylott]

I live in Iceland and far too many trees in the sim, think its mixing up moss for trees, very few areas with trees and most forests are tiny. Hopefully be addressed

[@kiwikiwi2483]

Ooo, you're a verified channel. Time to check your content

[@aaronpederson6840]

If you want better landings, here are some tips. Make sure you’re good and lined up before short final. You should actually be lined up pretty well after you turn from base to final. If you’re struggling to line up, go around and try again. Don’t go too fast. In a 172 you should cross the threshold right around 65 kts. On short final start looking down to the far end of the runway. Like driveling a car, your airplane will go where you’re looking. Look straight down that center line all the way down to the end. That’s the short version of things. Hope that helps.

Why did they build that Iceland airport there?

[@DAGATHire]

for the future youtube comments

[@dubious_potat4587]

Because in ye old days, the only way to get to that town was either a boat (which could only operate when there was no ice) or by hiking a few 15 km over mountains (at that time, Iceland was dirt poor so no roads either)

[@StallionFX1]

@@dubious_potat4587 I think he meant, why was it built the way it is. But either way, great response regardless.

[@Varasalvi2]

@@dubious_potat4587 This is probably all correct except ice has never been much of an issue in Iceland, aside from maybe the Great Frost Winter in 1917. But for sure when they built that airport, ice was not an issue. The problem with boats is that they're slow, and even if there's not Ice, weather can hinder them, mainly wind, which Iceland has in spades. Edit: What i can tell you about current day Ísafjörður, which is in a part of the country called Westfjords, is that it's basically just fjords, hence the name. Roads there all follow the fjords and are long as a result. Few people live there, so making tunnels and bridges is not financially practical. I would say that is the reason for the rather forced airport, it just takes too damn long to drive there.

Thanks for sharing! I had not heard about this yet and is going to make the wait for the game to release that much longer. :D

[@mountainmikeoutdoors]

I worked at Futenma. Awesome place to work. Situated really close to American Village, the Battle Sites of Okinawa, and a number of other places. Really cool aircraft coming in and out. Mostly helicopter traffic. Very little fixed wing. Most fixed wing traffic in the area went in and out of Kadena. We'd see one or two a day and sometimes. My buddies would sometimes take F/A-18 and F-15 arrestments that needed training on the E-28 arresting gear that functioned completely differently to the BAK-12 arresting gear at Kadena. Good times. I miss Okinawa a lot. I think I'll go back as a tourist some time, when I won't go to prison for an international felony for staying out past 11:00pm.

[@vstaritz]

The distant, icy cliffs showing far away on final at this icelandic airport gave me chills.

[@Ichibuns]

In the S model 172 you're flying. Approach speed should be no higher than 71 knots and no lower than 61 knots. Some just use best glide at 68 knots. If you come over the threshold closer to 61, you won't have that float. Also, flaps can be used to rapidly slow speed.

[@DiggyPowell]

Definitely watch your speed on the 172 on final and short final. In the second clip you went over the numbers at 94 kts. That's 33 kts over the Vref/approach speed of 61 kts for the 172. And is probably the reason you floated the first one. Coming in just a little too hot! Love the content and I'm super hype for the release. Keep it up!

[@ObsidianAnt]

[@ireegy78]

Does it have RNAV approaches? If so, does the sim do curved RNAV approaches, like into Dubrovnik on the westerly?

Congonhas-São Paulo airport (CGH) is also quite dangerous. Middle of the city surrounded by highrise buildings.

Sparrevohn AK. It's a up hill box canyon landing. Nose dive to the runway and pull up to land up hill. Did this landing in a c130 in real life to be dropped off for work. Its very identical in the simulator. Try it out.

[@shantyguy]

I thought that image in the thumbnail looked familiar. I lived in Okinawa for quite some time. Calling Futenma Air Station controversial is certainly an understatement, but its very good to see you did your research into it for the video. You should try to land at Naha airport on Okinawa. That might prove difficult in a cessna as well due to the fact that it is ALWAYS very windy on the southern side of the island. Great videos

[@kennethhicks2113]

I was stationed in Iceland for 3 years and did some flying there. The weather (high winds) makes it very challenging indeed! What gets me about airports is the growth of suburbia around which, imo, decreases safety unnecessarily for all, given the choice to not having to have to do build up around them.

[@Cramblit]

I wonder if they have the bush landing strips down in Indonesia and papau New Guinea. The little grass/dirt strips ontop of mountain ranges where they fly in goods to tribes..

Thank you for posting videos like these. I cant stand when I see well known streamers -who actually know how to fly big jets- flying the buggy 747 or the a320. My feeling is that they're doing a weak favor to MSFS or themselves. They're showing what the sim fails at the most. They should do what you are doing, local flights, exploit the hook of the new sim, showing how it takes advantage of bing's imagery + blackshark's ai to populate the world with 3d objects. These little local flights make flightsimming a real immersive experience. Again, thank you. I've just subscribed to your channel.

San Diego, at least back in the '90s, had tall buildings in the approach to the runway so the plane has to zig zag around them.

[@kg.aviation]

Yep! The approach into KSAN is one of my favorites due to its scenery, but also particularly dangerous due to it's proximity to high buildings near downtown and the steep downward slope on short final (hence the long displaced threshold on runway 27). It's also one of the busiest single runway airports in the world (busiest in the U.S). Lastly, given the rapidly changing weather (fog and winds), it's definitely up there on the unique and dangerous airports list. Oh and did I mention the curfew for noise abatement? I would definitely say San Diego is up there in regards to unique and dangerous airports in the world.

Great video! You seem to have trouble keeping that central line. Best advice I ever got, keep the center-line between your "legs" during the entire approach. Don't let your brain trick you into thinking because you sit on the left or right side, you need to correct for that. The center-line in most cases is even wider than the space between the two seats. Obviously, it's a bit harder with your late approaches, but a go-around is always better than an unsafe landing!

[@FarikoUnited1]

The airport list I assume you saw is specifically referencing the handcrafted airports. Base game has 20 but the other editions add a few more handcrafted(5 per edition for 10 total more in premium edition) and other planes. The airports themselves though will exist in all version, just not in a handcrafted state if you do not have the right edition, and many other airports are in the game as well and usable and can spawn into. Like even standard players can fly and spawn into places like O'hare(deluxe edition handcrafted) and San Francisco(premium edition handcrafted) but wont have the level of detail if not having the upgraded editions that cover them. Over like 37,000 airports are in the game though and usable to spawn in or land on IIRC. Its just paying more for the extra aircraft and the extra ones to be handcrafted where they spent extra time and effort on the airport to make it look even more realistic and nice with added detailing and such.
