[@LowBudgetKiwi]

Stop listening to the haters dude, real pilots don't hand fly a 737 the entire journey anyways. The auto pilot is there for a reason. If you want to use it, use it. It's your channel, not theirs.. Haterz gonna hate regardless of what you do...

[@MrCHRISCROSS1204]

In real life if you are hand flying a plane to fl100 your co-pilot is going to look at you as you don't know what your doing. Pilots only fly the plane by hand for 3 minutes roughly, 1.5 minutes after takeoff and 1.5 minutes before landing.

[@LowBudgetKiwi]

Chris Topher If you been on some of the flights I've been on, EVERY ONE was looking at the pilot as if he didn't know what he was doing :P

[@LowBudgetKiwi]

Just think, with the amount of automation being poured into the Dreamliner and the A350 and whatever is to come in the furure, one day we will hear over the intercom "Ugh ladies and gentlemen, this is your Captain speaking.. Does anyone know which one is the any key???"

[@Therion0184]

In response to someone complaining about the AP use...in reality when pilots hand fly, they have a first officer handling the radios, MCP modes, flaps, etc etc. In the sim he's doing all this by himself, so it makes sense to make more use of the automation.

[@simonskyfall7558]

I admire your honesty about being nervous when on pilots edge. You certainly dont show it when you fly, a true professional. Being an actor we all get nervous before show time its how confident you feel at the time which clearly you are. A brilliant channel dont change the way you fly for the haters. Well done.

[@coma13794]

Simon Skyfall Well said. That said, Matt has very little to be nervous about when flying IFR. He knows enough to get safely from A to B in the US national airspace system under IFR. Now he just has to have fun while doing it!

[@flightsim481]

Wow, the ATC really adds to the video. It's always great to watch your videos when you are on Pilot Edge. Great video, Thanks Matt

[@seanlatimer5871]

Thanks again Matt. Great video. For me, it is professional to use an autopilot in a 737. It is not shocking flying nor a shocking landing, nor are you an idiot. My flying is not perfect in a 737 solo and it is helpful to see someone as accomplished as yourself not do everything perfectly every time. I learn from your actions whatever they be. I imagine a SWA pilot would have difficulty if he/she had to use a mouse in the dark flying solo with stuttering scenery LOL

[@Flociety]

Southwest gates at KSAN are at Terminal 1 East: gates 1A and 1-10. If you went left from B8 after you landed it would have been the last set of gates. The gate you parked in, gate 20, is for international flights. At 58:58, the airport on the left is Montgomery Field (KMYF), and the right is MCAS Miramar (KNKX). - A friendly San Diegan and new sim pilot that learned from your videos

[@bgs.95]

Great video. That "leetest readback" was a tec-route, which are specialized routes for trips between airports in the Southern California area, with specialized routes and altitudes based on aircraft type. Been learning all about them while getting my GND certification with ZLA in VATSIM. They make for some incredibly awesome clearances/readbacks, but man are they a massive pain in the ass to give out. Awesome stuff, was fun to hear one given on PilotEdge.

[@liamreece89]

I have a pilot friend who flys 777's. I asked him about auto pilot and his answer was "soon as the gear is up, the auto pilot gets turned on and then soon as gear is down the auto pilot gets turned off". Excellent videos Matt

[@WebbyJas99]

Awesome video! Thanks Matt. Loving your PilotEdge ones especially - entertaining and educational hearing all the radio comms.

[@janparadowski4894]

Awesome video . Nice to see a sort of challenging approach.That traffic and night lightning was amazing. BTW I don't know why people seem to complain about you not flying manually. Well, they probably haven't watched the Boston-Washington Regional video. The departure was pretty much handlown (If I remember) and the approach, was basically a visual approach. So IMHO there's no problem in pure AP flying.

[@maddenmobilesquad3791]

Thank you for posting this. This video is what got me interested into P3D and just aviation in general. Your videos are my favorite sim videos to watch:)

[@sandraandrego3727]

I agree with your comment that nothing compares to the lighting in X-Plane. Love flying into San Diego at night. In fact if it's day when I'm approaching I soon find my fingers on SHIFT K or L! Sunsets/sunrises are amazing! I remember your FJS 737 KLAX-KSAN video and how impressed you were with the lighting. If you're at KLAX in FSX at night and slew up, you can see cities up and down the coast! Wish that were the case with X-Plane. Lights pop in and out in blocks depending on how far away you are. It's like there is a 10 mile radius around the a/c and lights come on and off as they enter/exit that radius. Still think it's amazing. Each sim has its strengths and weaknesses. Keep up the entertaining videos! Your injected comments like 'that was a shocking landing' and ' five million things at once' keep me smiling throughout all your videos!

[@tjfSIM]

Great vid Matt, and kudos to you for flying with real ATC in US - it sounds quite nervewracking! You did a great job. Also ignore the criticism about switching on the autopilot - pilots frequently make good use of the AP, and in FS it's just you doing all the flying and the comms, so it makes total sense to let the autopilot share the workload.

[@pears808]

Great video Matt! I greatly appreciate the effort you put into your videos, and you are definitely my favorite Flight Sim related KZbinr. Keep doing good work!

[@flyboy98753]

Just a quick tip for when you need to start the clock. There's a button to the left and right of the master caution/warning light for each pilot which makes takeoff a lot easier.

[@ramiabouzahra]

Skykid951 that only starts the minutes and seconds counter, not the minutes and hours counter

[@danielpotter1429]

I love when you put on all the light on the airplan.

[@dillonhwy]

Aeromexico 746 must never leave P3D. Matt, you make a great horse. Nice video as always!

[@Mirandorl]

Hi Matt, did you ever do any vids with the CaptainSim TriStar L-1011? It is such a great flying challenge. No GPS, its old school INS, a bare-bones flight computer that can only store 9 waypoints (!) you have to update, and with a 2nd Officer engineering station as well. The systems all seem to be quite deeply modeled on the CS version and all the instruments are so very 70's / 80's James Bond. Sure the 3D modeling has many betters, and you need to go digging for manuals and checklists, but wow what an aircraft. Would be great to see you flying it!

[@Mets747]

Matt, your videos continue to be amazing....your style, setup, & knowledge is truly great. Looking forward to your next video

[@freequest]

8:35 Awesome Aero Mexico Guy .... just love his voice

[@Bennett1430]

Wow! The voice quality is so clear on Pilotedge.

[@SteveMaineProduction]

Matt as far as i know from the flows, i think you're supposed to fully set the fmc, then configure the MCP before getting the ATC clearance, and then make any necessary changes. This is to minimize the time beetween clearance and pushback, at least in europe, there are some airports that state that time! Nice video as always!

[@TWAndy]

Just FYI, about 95% of SWA aircraft have the HUD system, and a good percentage of the fleet do have the A/T system activated. I work for them and have ridden in the cockpit on many flights. Just observing flight crews, some will hands fly for a bit while others switch to A/P after 1500ft. I'm sure it depends on their mood and current conditions. Great Vids BTW. Its fun to see how other people handle flight sims.

[@robaviation.7904]

I just love that Aero Mekico Pilot! Legend,

[@xxxjoe007]

Great video as usual, by the way, I was flying on vatsim a couple weeks ago in the states and I didn't realize you were the ATC that I was talking to until like halfway through the flight. Vatsim callsign JGM45.

[@colinboone9920]

Flap 1 takeoff is the most popular flap setting to takeoff with in a B738, I just took a lesson at Flight Deck, and an Ex AAL Captain told me what I have just said and it especially applies with longer runways on these shorter flights because you aren't fully loaded :)

[@colinboone9920]

That's not the entirely the reasons, but it's a good point, the 70 ton aircraft gets past the flap 1 speed quite quickly!

[@colinboone9920]

As you know because you've flown a real 737 simulator before as well :)

[@maroon9980]

For a 738? Isnt it 5?

[@L45456]

23 Savage indeed it is, depends on airport and the Airlines sop

[@MetalHellraiser094]

Matt good work on this video as always man :) If I recommend a future flight for a video maybe BAW73N EGLL-KSAN 777-200 would like to see what you can do with that triple seven for the landing in San Diego and just a fun fact BA park the triple seven at gate 20 at terminal 2 at KSAN

[@PilotGladd]

Another great vid Matt. Southwest does have the HUD's because I saw it on N919WN and I'm sure all there -800's have them.

[@captain_john_d]

Thank you for another excellent invisible gate video Matt :P

[@Nahid125]

No matter what the landing is like I still really enjoy the entire video. The ATC and flight was really entertaining. The haters can do one... *shows middle finger*

[@CallsignSimba]

Matt, how do you prevent the HDR bloom on P3D? What are your settings at? Thanks!

[@coachtedor]

Matt, perhaps the people who don't think you can hand fly the NGX should watch your Queenstown approach video. I think that would clear things up right away. Nice work as usual.

[@cyrilderiviere]

that ATC though SKILLSSSSSSS

[@AamarAV]

They are real ATC controllers, or retired controllers, they are paid by PilotEdge to be there and work there

[@Kevinmaino]

awesome!!!

[@FlightSimulationArt]

Thanks for the frequent upload Matt, aprreciated as always

[@SuperFlyboy02]

Nice vid, Matt. Always like to see you fly here in the states

[@breeves002]

Just FYI Southwest does have HUD's (those thingy's) in their NG's as well as autothrottle. Good video!

[@RDU8468]

Matt, your videos are the best on the web. I really enjoy the commentary and the jokes. The occasional, "What the HELL is that!!" has me laughing every time. Keep up the quality stuff!!!!

[@kevindavis8175]

+Matt Davies How much did it cost to get the 737 and 736's from PMDG? I have the 738 and 739 now, but they're a little complex.

[@Carfreak36]

Comment before watching the vid to the end... Anyway, amazing flight again, keep on doing your stuff, it is the best on youtube, indeed! Cheers!

[@EndermenZoffiy]

Hate to nit pick but I love how the guy at 10:35 responded to a standby, I could be wrong to nit pick and nice video matt!! enjoyed it!

[@chris__maltby]

If you're still after ideas for flights, a flight in the Duke from San Carlos to Lake Tahoe (both Orbx) would be pretty cool, nice contrast of scenery. Great video btw :)

[@thomasgrotenhuis3376]

With the gates you need to put a L (left) or R ( Right) because of example in the netherlands we have mutiple sides of the D concourse so you tell the FMC you are at the right or left side of that concourse

[@holmaviation2003]

Well done Matt ! I´ve got one question... Did you ask the Controller for a descent clearence? I didn`t hear you talking about it.

[@ldee247]

This is amazing very clear ATC Matt you should do more these mate keep it up dude..

[@gertvanduijn2347]

WOW, a sim at night with PilotEdge looks so real.

[@bkk6211]

Thanks for the vid. The lack of other AC at the airports does take a lot away from the immersion. Have you ever tried running Pilot Edge with your AI Traffic turned up?? I realize that the AI traffic won't be interacting with PE but at least it would help with the visual immersion.

[@iclicklike3397]

isnt there ai traffic generated on pilot edge?

[@AviationChannel452]

that ATCs voice is super scary and he was on every frequency!

[@abrinson1996]

Just curious, why don't you handfly it as much in your streams? There were a few times where you put the Autopilot on within 20 seconds of wheels up.

[@neallatham3745]

Enjoyable video as always sir. A nice relaxing way to spend an hour or so.

[@thatserverpotato1075]

I flew from ATL to LAS a few weeks ago with Delta

[@thatserverpotato1075]

It was on August 15 Delta has tv's on the back of the seats it's pretty awesome

[@timhoppe2641]

HAHA "we got to get you a good southwest accent" PilotEdge 10/10

[@MrAlcazar]

You always have the best looking flights. What are you using?

[@NathanCAY1010]

To Matt, people fail to realize it's only one person(you) flying and doing atc, believe me sometimes it's hard to hand fly and talk to ATC especially if theirs alot of people flying, gotta stay focus on them and the aircraft and A/P helps ease the airspace tension, multiplayer now and you can hand fly while the other handles ATC, so to you all that judge the guy, think before you speak!

[@Chris430521]

Hey Matt, Where did you find that new Southwest livery?? Can't seem to find it....

[@zk9058]

Am I going crazy......or is the font in your pressurization panel (specifically the lcd display for cruise altitude/landing altitude) different than in the fsx variant of pmdg's ngx?

[@adriankoola]

Nice one Matt, very professional as always- you got no prob talking to atc, but the nerves still happen don't they ;) great video, looking forward to the next one,

[@blakeking6413]

Hey Matt how did you get the southwest livery for the pmdg 737 on P3D. I see the options on pmdg's website for FSX but not P3D. Thanks

[@FrancescoVenturelli]

Hi Matt! Great videos as usual here! Just a quick answer: I've got a low end laptop, I got to squeeze 25 solid fps with the ngx VC in fsx, no addons except for active sky next. I'm considering the transition to P3D (given the fact that you or froogle now seem to enjoy the lockeed platform). Are my performance going to take a hit under P3D? Would you recommend the switch (I don't mind the visuals, just the solid performance for a good simulation). Thank you MAtt. Happy flying!

[@kilarambo246]

Hey Matt just looking at chillblast website and just wondering what pc you bought?

[@runway34r]

Great video Matt. Sorry if you've addressed this before, but on your longer flights do you do the whole thing in one sitting? Obviously this flight is short so it wouldn't be that bad all in one go, but how about that 777 flight from Hong Kong to Heathrow you did a while back?

[@diogoreis1251]

Great video Matt!

[@Adam47150]

If you do choose to make your next video a long haul, might I suggest UPS238. This is the almost daily flight from EGSS to KSDF. Equipment used is a 767-300.

[@wingman7743]

It's always great to watch your videos.

[@huttolamont]

What do you use for an opener & your display of the flight in the beginning? Matt Davies

[@rodneybuckland4140]

The haters have a point tho. I have no problem with you using the auto pilot as long as you know how to hand fly Matt. A lot of pilots have no idea how to find their own are in the dark without autopilot. Air France 447 is a good example. Just good to know what to do without technology.

[@tommiebloks1354]

Awesome video Matt , as always! Thanks a lot :-)

[@xXBl4ckB3ltXx]

At 21:28 I think the controller was imitating one of the controllers at JFK who stars on many Liveatc clips on youtube. One of said controllers is notorious for saying "See ya!" like that

[@coma13794]

***** I think it actually might be a Boston thing, but close enough :) Mocha Hagotdi! www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Mocha+Hagotdi

[@Pop0n01]

We love you Aeromexico!!

[@Jbax25]

What addons where you using for Ksan other then latinvfr ? I mean for the rest of the city and night lighting ?

[@andy4b767]

I believe Pilotedge is the best online ATC service you can get for flight simulator for home-use.

[@colejohnson777]

did an amazing flight but im mad at the atc who was doing local and i think i heard him give you taxi instructions but great flight i would love to be tower at fll in that game

[@coma13794]

Cole Johnson what were you mad about?

[@Gamesprovideos]

Hey Matt, i just want to mention that if you have a 737 you always leave the electrical pumps on ( at least that is what Lufthansa and Air Berlin are doing ) Maybe other airlines do it differently, it would be nice if you would tell me. Happy Landings! :)

[@zaafirbasalamah2581]

Your content is amazing don let little comments like that get in your way kept up th God work. :)

[@fabiksc1374]

Are you using P3D with the latest hotfix? Do you recommend installing it? Or does it cause problems?

[@seery234]

Hey Matt, how did you fix the PFD brightness problem with the ngx?

[@JavonWilliams29]

what do you use to set up your flight plan? I'd like to stop using the easy boring default way in FSX

[@tf51d]

Why does PFPX always give you a Flaps 1 takeoff? I've talked to 2 real NG pilots, one Southwest, and they said they have never seen this used. They say Flaps 5 or 15 (Depending on weight, conditions) are the flap configurations usually used. Edit: I think you just answered my question as I wrote this!!

[@owenauble1537]

Were did you get that livery? All I can find is the old one?

[@MrBradydixon1]

Hey Matt, the Taxi2gate KSEA scenery is awesome. You should check it out and do an Alaska Air or Delta video out of Seattle!

[@VapingGam3r]

What's the introduction music? I've been trying to find it everywhere but I can't find it

[@Comedy3610]

I was looking for a good pilotedge video and even though I saw this video last year when you posted it I enjoyed it again. I didnt remember that people were criticizing you. All I have to say to them is watch real world footage of any mid size aircraft I've seen autopilot engagement in a TBM at 1500 ft so to say that you arent hand flying enough is utter nonsense.

[@SSgaming02]

Hey matt, really enjoy the vid, if you can, can you tell me the route that you used for this flight Thanks

[@davidhall627]

How do you get all the taxiways what software do you use ( the information on where the taxi ways are) ?!?!?!?

[@charliewelland5396]

Hi Matt, could you send me the link to the livery. I use Textures by Travers for a lot of my liveries, but he dose not have a Southwest. Any suggestions?

[@charliewelland5396]

+Matt Davies ok thx

[@markajones83]

Watched in it's entirety start to finish love this time warp! Lol

[@AizatArista88]

Hello Matt, if I'm not mistaken 737-600 and 737-700 equipped with only one emergency exit door on each side? and for 800 and 900 series they have 2 each side.. right??

[@james737]

That's correct.

[@tiffanyjo71]

I'm trying to find this game so I can purchase it can you put a link to it on here thanks dude

[@BradKR]

is it worth it to rebuy everything for P3D or should I just stay on FSX? I have a lot of addon airports and PMDG 737 and 777 for fsx. So is it really worth the switch cause thats a lot of money..

[@9v-skk71]

How do your knobs move so fast, in my pmdg they move so slowly when trying to change heading, atl, speed , etc.

[@TheCameon10]

Hey there matt. I'm just wondering if there is a way to get an airac back for the pmdg if u haven't even bought it.

[@ojasgaminghd5440]

How are you able to move so freely inside the cockpit and outside ? Very nice video though Matt!

[@realcodechris]

Isn't the low fuel warning down to what you set the reserves to? Great video as usual

[@TubeMonkeyMusic]

Hey Matt, I bought ASN and for some reason, sometimes (really often) I get boxed cirrus clouds. They are whitish or black. Do you why this happens?

[@sincere9100]

Watch his active sky next settings video and see if that helps.

[@digitallie2970]

Can someone give me a link to the video were he flew to LAS? Thx

[@firstofficerconflict593]

Hey matt where did you find the southwest airline livery

[@Adam-ix9kp]

Another incredible video Matt keep it up!

[@FlyingFrankFan]

Excellent. A typical, good flight on PE. I like flying with that controller. He's very cool, calm and collected - but they are all so good. It's so like RW, but much cheaper :-)

[@zilanfitch5139]

you should do a flight from Hobby airport in Houston to Las Vegas SW with a connected flight to Los Angeles. Ive personally been on the this flight, it would be cool to fly it

[@dougglitch132]

How long did it take you to learn all this? All seems a bit intimidating for a noob like me...

[@badplayer1936]

Can you make a full flight from WMKK TO WBGR with Malaysia airlines
