MSFS 2020 Tomahawk PA38 VFR Flight: Santa Monica to Cable

[@SDFalchetti]

The AI ATC in this video, SayIntentions, is a pre-release beta version. Although this is not the final version, I’m already having great fun with it. They have a very robust Discord community where they are swatting bugs and constantly adding new features. There’s a free 24-hour trial where you can fly anywhere in the world if you’d like to try it for yourself: www.sayintentions.ai/join

Wow…. New setup did not disappoint! Looks great.

I had no idea MSFS could look so good. Maybe I need a new video card...

[@lukalevstek7851]

Great video, I use to fly Tomahawk 20 years ago.

[@SDFalchetti]

Awesome! Have you tried it in the sim? Curious how it compares.

[@lukalevstek7851]

No, my computer is a bit to slow.

[@karmabasedj8184]

Man sometimes these small YT channels are full of surprisez. Top quality content man! Btw, are you using any post processing on these videos like Reshade or something? The colors are really good unlike vanilla Msfs

[@SDFalchetti]

Thanks! Appreciate it. I use Davinci Resolve to edit and color grade my videos. A little color balancing goes a long way. I'd love to figure out a Reshade filter to achieve the same look in game.

[@karmabasedj8184]

​@SDFalchetti keep up the good work! And btw i am trying to get into real flying from flight simming, like you did haha

[@SDFalchetti]

@@karmabasedj8184 Awesome! I recommend starting with a discovery flight, if you haven't done it yet. There's no commitment, you get to fly the plane, and it's great fun.

Well, I guess this is the level I have to aspire to now. (system-wise)

[@flightsimdronenexus]

I noticed you said that you're using your real aviation headset. I've been wanting to do that as well. Did you need to get some sort of adapter to do that? If so, I'd appreciate it if you could let me know. Thanks. Also, I must say the level in this video is insane & your communications top notch. Great job!

[@SDFalchetti]

I use the FlightSounds Solo GA adapter. Works great, and provides lag-free sidetone just as if you were plugged into an intercom: flightsounds.com/products/solo-ga-general-aviation

[@fzkcs8359]

So, your game looks very good, the colors are vibrant and the overall ambience is beautiful, is that some kind of editing work or does your game actually look like that? If it does, which video filters do you use to get it like that.

[@SDFalchetti]

Thanks! I color grade my videos in Davinci Resolve when editing, which balances the colors and contrast. There's probably a way to do it with Reshade or NVIDIA filters so it would look this way in game. It's interesting that just a little bit of color correction makes the game look much more realistic.

[@andyasdf2078]

Why would you prime the engine and knock the fuel pump on with the mixture still at idle cutoff? Who wrote that checklist lol

[@Fignewton117]

Is this your first video on the new PC build?

[@SDFalchetti]

It is! I'm still dialing everything in - TrackIR profiles, graphics settings...endless things to tinker with.

[@Fignewton117]

@SDFalchetti I know the feeling, the video looks great and I like how you used the aviation headset. It add that little extra realism.

[@zephirusvideos]

Hi. Are you using tobii eyetracker?

[@SDFalchetti]

I'm using TrackIR with the pro clip. I wouldn't mind having tobii, though, to lose the headset and USB connection. It looks pretty cool.

[@zephirusvideos]

@@SDFalchetti I asked because, I have the Tobii, but your head movement is so so smooth. If you had the tobii I was going to ask for the curves in MSFS. Nice video btw!
