Taxi & take off in original 1960 Caravelle airliner cockpit

Using the original checklist Air France checklist during taxi - actually both FE and F/O were new on type coming from (real) A330 and A340 making the commander busy showing where the switches and gauges are ;-)

The effort and dedication required to produce this flight simulator has to be admired.

I am Indian and reside in Austria, in 1968 5year old child , I flew from Delhi to Mumbai.

[@Afro3461]

I remember flying from Heathrow to Orly way back in 1964 on one of these beautiful Air France Caravelle jet airliners and receiving a complementary bottle of Christian Dior EAU SAVAGE after shave during the flight, which incidentally, I have never used, and still have!

[@igormarinkovic1531]

Savage was presented in 1966. 😁

[@Thmartin60]

I flew in this beautiful bird from CDG to VIE, and in First Class. It was an unforgettable experience : quietness, silence, smoothness, everything was just bliss. And of course there was the food and the wonderful wines...That was in the beginning eighties, I think the last Caravelle still operated by Air France in 1981.

[@wernerammann2699]

Hello i was 10Year's as Copilot on the Caravelle. Super Time in my Life

[@nihilmiror6312]

Only flew on one once in the mid 60’s. Alitalia Heathrow to Naples. Loved it. 👍👍👍🫡🙏🇦🇺🦘

[@robertmitchell2142]

Our father used to fly for Flying Tigers and flew 747s, DC's, CL-44, etc. to name a few. I have appreciation for aviation and old school air craft as this one shown here.

[@JorgeJarpa]

My dad brought from the factory in Toulouse to Los Cerrillos airport in Santiago Chile the first jet flown by Lan Chile (línea Aérea Nacional) march 1964

[@rodortiz2618]

Small World Jorge. I was 10 y/o in 1968 and we flew from Santiago to Miami in a Caravelle. Maybe your Daddy was the pilot as well ? Memories ......

1/12/2024: Good Day. I love this. Video and sound are excellent. I've always loved these aircraft. I was born in 1952 and I've been flying all my life. I do miss the "Good Old Days" of flying. Prop planes, turboprop planes and of course, all the jets. Flying used to be a wonderful experience, in every way. No longer... My father worked for the airlines all my life, until he retired, that is. There's a Caravelle at the Pima Air & Space Museum in Tucson Arizona. I was a member there when I lived in Airzona. Beautiful airplane. Thank You and Happy New Year

I wish I could fly on this beautiful plane.

[@cateclism316]

I flew a Caravelle on Flight Simulator as an add-on. Loved the plane's handling in flight. I only "crashed" once when forgetting to retract the spoilers prior to takeoff!

[@JorgeJarpa]

I flew in 1981 from guayaquil to quito in Ecuador

[@patrickvanhavere8663]

To be sensational and genius would be an understatement. All my respect!

[@tritop]

The only thing I was able to do on a Caravelle was closing the door after the Stewardes tried it several times and could not do it; I was thinking the whole flight if I had done it right or not :I

[@christopheklinger3217]

I like those germans speaking french, nice accent,

[@philipme109]

Beautiful video!!

[@zeom76]

Excellent! Tres bon travail et bon Français! On one of the videos about the Caravelle called "GABON EXPRESS Caravelle & HS748", I heard a sort of mechanic bell ring just after take off (at minute 6:27) ... a sound missing maybe. All the best to you!

[@jorgechichiri5792]

FANTASTIC!

[@ChevyBM]

Oh man I would like to try out this simulator! I have been in Finnairs old DC-10 and MD-11 simulators back in the days.

[@larrydockery7201]

[@soliv27]

Beautiful achievement. A dream Sim. Would it be worthy for realism and/or for fun to set the all cabin on a moving device. I guess there would easily be many passionate to compute and engineer such an improvement but what would be the cost in order to keep it safe, silent enough (no printer sound)... I wonder. Knowing the Sim is professional grade, or almost, there would be discussion to know if mechanics must be very realistic with longest moves, or if having a moving sensation enough for basic maneuver, vibrations, would add a lot to the experience. My concern mainly go to the material preservation but isn't it avian quality rough enough?

[@kingkoolkata]

Wahnsinnig gut gemachter Sim. Kann man auch mal ne Std mieten?😀 doof nur das ich kein Französisch kann😅

[@PeterNGloor]

[@tiozorrodelvalle9953]

What happened with "gear up"? Big mistake, guys...

[@PeterNGloor]

I also did not hear the V-speed callouts. Just "Rotation".

[@Three_Random_Words]

Oh, one of those pointing intensive cockpits, much of that is now automated in newer craft.

[@ytsilvasilva6316]

Yeah! Those were the old planes that well skilled pilots actually had to pilot. Very dangerous machines as much as is the modern B737 MAX that kill people no matter what the pilots try to do.

[@mistofoles]

@0:49 - the captain and co-pilot are looking at the engineer as if to say "WTF are you talking about?" . Perhaps not suprising , as they all seem to be speaking different languages !

[@POON3345]

Good old days are gone. Is this in a simulator?

[@sequoia6364]

It almost has to be. As far as I can determine, there are no airworthy caravelles in the world and have not been for several years.

[@sequoia6364]

Also, they are not asking for any clearances (or, in fact, communicating with controllers at all)

[@yolsclassics6347]

This is a simulator the guy in the left seat built from ground up with a cockpit he salvaged. He has a full documentary of his work on his channel. I recommend checking it out :)

[@harvey364]

@@yolsclassics6347 But I also recommend that they not pass this off as a real flight. It's best to say in the title that it is a simulator.

[@yolsclassics6347]

@@harvey364 There is nothing on this video saying this is real flight. However, The entirety of this cockpit and the inner flight deck is literally cutoff from a Caravelle.

Definitely simulator, you can see a difference in contrast of the center and left projection screens crossing one of the cockpit window pillars.

[@csjaugiedog]

I worked for Link Flight Simulation for 27 years...I know a simulation when I see one. This one is not even on a motion platform.

[@csjaugiedog]

@Alan hughes Simple comment to a simple observation...sounds like YOU are the one who needs to chill out!

[@csjaugiedog]

@Alan hughes Where does it say that??? The title says "ORIGINAL airliner cockpit."

[@konsum949]

csjaugiedog well it seems probable that it IS an original cockpit. And by the way, if it says original cockpit, thats a pretty substantial clue, since it is quite rare with takeoffs in a real airplane without its original cockpit, its not that common with takeoffs in a original fuselage of caravelle, and fokker F-28 cockpit, not even in Afrika where the caravelle saw its last flights did they do that types of modifikation. So yes, chill, kicking in open Doors are so labourintensive

[@csjaugiedog]

@@konsum949 I disagree entirely! No flight simulator in existence has an original cockpit. Just for starters, actual aircraft instruments will not work in a simulator. I repaired many different types over 27 years The mechanical and electronic requirements are not the same. Position resolvers and error amplifiers (op-amps) are needed to compare the actual vs commanded needle position. The face of the instrument may look the same but the guts are far from original. My first comment was not intended to be negative. Alan is the one who needs to chill...Check this out; www.malwin.com/

[@konsum949]

@@csjaugiedog well thats not true at all, of course you have to change and modifye instruments, but all is out there to purchase and technologies is at place, even old legacy fighters are possible to modify to sims, this is just as non-discussion from a lack of understanding the sim community as it is now. You are plain and simple wrong in the conclusion that its impossible to take an old cockpit and make a simulator out from it. Just because you havent seen it...
