Real AAL Boeing Capt flies a comprehensive DFW-LHR (DFW) flight in the incredible FBW A-380X/MSFS

Let's forget the aviation aspect for a sec...You just taught this 70 y/o retired Pilot what the future is for A I in my own language. Well done!

[@FatherTime1958]

Hhahahaha! I haven’t heard from you in a while my AAL brother! Hope all is well.

@@FatherTime1958 Thanks! I'm fine and all is well. I was serious, though. I can have a 'conversation' with the GPS in my car but it's like speaking to a four year old. You and "Say Intentions" were able to show where all this artificial intelligence tech is headed. You and I will be in that big pilot lounge in heaven, but I can now envision that 797-400 plying the skies with one live Pilot. Remember Flight Engineers? Oh, I was one once...never mind...

[@FatherTime1958]

Hahahaha! All so very true!

I always love when i get a classic father time "wohoo" when the camera is doing something funny. Did you also say that in real life when something special/funny happened? :D Great video! I also wish they would pick always LBS or KGs all around the world like Celsius is in aviation. Would help a lot with simming and probably in real world also. Also the 380 has terrible performance right now just so you know. Its still super laggy with a 4090.

[@amateurdraw9524]

yes ive been waiting for this!

[@FatherTime1958]

@@amateurdraw9524 I can’t wait to fly it today. I so much to learn about the modern airbuses, and it’s also great preparation for the incoming A350!

[@ungroundedpilot]

Thanks for the great videos!

[@FatherTime1958]

That means a lot to me. Thank you.

Hi Jeff. In the modern Airbus it's essential to have the thrust levers in the correct detent. The FMA will tell you. After takeoff leave them in climb and don't touch them again until you flare. From what I've read since this plane is in Alpha the engine model is default msfs so the 380 will climb like crazy. I tend to use vs above 10,000. Go into GSX settings and find a checkbox that says something like ignore wingspan, tick it. That will fix the constant parking space is too small problem.

[@FatherTime1958]

Awesome! Thank you so much!

I love this plane . Jeff , there is an Easteregg hidden from Flybywire. When you click on the security ring from the captains side Fire extinguisher something pops out on the FO side .

@@dolf1010 thank you. I’ll put it in my next video.

The click spot for the keyboard is on the upper edge of the tray.

Thanks Dolf!! What a great product.

[@tiagowrec]

have you tested the b787, cap?

[@FatherTime1958]

Yea! It’s great. Here’s my playlist. I think I have 19 videos! kzbin.info/aero/PLM9kkkHDGd_NGlkmbnH751O0n_iDQ_gxp

How do you have ground traffic?I thought SI does not inject ground traffic yet

[@FatherTime1958]

I don’t remember seeing moving ground traffic, however, I did have some radio traffic. I thought that came from my option selections under comm. I’ll check tomorrow.

[@pushkardureja6863]

@ oh okay, but what about parked traffic, is that default sim traffic ?

[@KnightlyTruth]

@@pushkardureja6863probably just traffic

[@MostlyFlightsim]

Not without issues. Kinda sucks to invest in a long flight and then something weird/incurable happens.

[@FatherTime1958]

True. Such is the life of a flight simmer. I did a Cross the Pond Eastbound last year and had my Horizon 787-9 go uncontrollable on base leg into LHR!

[@MostlyFlightsim]

@@FatherTime1958 I might be doing something wrong, who knows. I am just an engineer. Big news on that. They are partnering with ORBX. It appears they may be charging for it in the future. It would be nice to have a ground up 78.
