I have to say Jeff, I bought the MD-11 a few days after the 777 and I haven’t flown the 777 since. I am absolutely loving the MD-11 and can’t put it away. The best plane in the sim. Love your channel and cannot wait for you to dig deep into the MD11, D.
Always great to hear from you. I’m very pleased that you like the MD-11. There a new flight dynamics package/update that may be ready for the weekend. The BETS version flies great and everyone is setting their sensitivities to default!
777 is wayyy better than md11.. i bought both and hate to say this but 777 is the BEST plane in the sim thats a fact.. have fun flying that boring md11 lmao
@@specialopssoldier1 the MD-11 is just prettier can’t explain it to you. I grew up with the DC-10. Agree the 777 is a less troublesome aircraft to fly. It is almost perfect, but that MD-11 is so pretty. Can’t explain what attracts someone to something.
I think you're doing a great job, and the real-life stories are a nice touch. Keep up the great work. You will have a lot more subscribers before you know it.
Thank you. The subscriber count is fun to watch, and it means a lot to me, but the comments and positive reinforcement make this creator/mentor thing all worth it.
Awesome! I have been obsessed with airliners forever. I remember reading Les Abends Flying articles over and over as a kid just to get a glimpse into the cockpit. Thank you for your content! I could listen to hours of your flying experience. A dream for us airliner buffs!!!
One of your best videos, Captain Richard! I mean, holly cow, three hours just flew by at MACH 0.83 :)) Loved your stories, you should wright a book, sir! And congratulations on your name mention at the end of this scenario, it is well deserved. All the best, Eugene.
Love the stories! Jeez that second hand smoke in the cockpit must have been nuts :D You have tons of great stories and you're also a very funny guy. Must have been a pleasure flying with you as a FO. :)
Thank you for saying that. At American our pilots were from all around the country and sometimes the world. Sense of humor from region to region and certainly country to country. I usually just kept it calm and professional and kept my sense of humor to myself. However, I loved learning about each person that I flew with, their lives, their families, their background etc. I find people fascinating. I wasn’t everyone’s “cup of tea”, but I think most guys liked flying with me!
Just getting started in this MSFS thing...great watching your videos. “FSI Panel” …this is amazing! I can’t wait to get it. I never flew the 777 but have fallen in love with the PMDG 777-300. I feel like such a traitor…sorry 787! I will retire from AA (FO 787) In November after 34 years.🥲
@@787gal2 wow, it’s so great to hear from a fellow AAL person. I just retired in September and started flight simming a little over a year ago. I was flying with a guy who recommended that I get into it, and now I’m hooked. Picking up the 777 should be pretty easy after being rated in the 78. Horizon has a great freeware version of the 787-9, but it can’t compare to the PMDG product. They are the gold-standard of add-on aircraft. It’s scary how accurate the model is. Take a look at the hardware I have in the description. I swear by the Boeing a yoke, Honeycomb throttles and pendulum rudder pedals. Great to hear from you!
We all know as flight simmers usually there are bugs and glitches that are pure aggrivation but with the pmdg 777 I have had zero it works perfectly usually it’s troubleshooting searching all forums for answers and fixes but this plane just works
Those PMDG pens? In my day, they said "Holiday Inn". Only one pen on the left side? Some cheap Captain stole it. OK, old joke, I know. My first flights in '85 as a 727 Engineer (IOE) were under the watch of a 'two striper', aka Professional Flight Engineer. I was thirty at the time. The first thing he said to me was "I've been with American longer than you've been on the face of the earth". He was right.
Great story time, said you flew T-37 and Tankers. Where you ever at Mather AFB I was with the 340th Bomb wing and the 940th Air Refueling wing, Firefighter 57150 1979-1986
I love the program. I believe that it is an invaluable training aid. Thank you for taking the time to let me know, and don’t forget to join the FSIPanel Discord. As a matter of fact, please feel welcome to join mine!!🌝
Always great to hear from you, and I always appreciate you taking the time to comment. However, you guys and those ships at sea. Go Air Force beat NAVY/Army
I had a generator failure enroute (FSiPanel programmed a surprise for me), so the APU was running per procedure. Thanks for the heads-up, I always appreciate people taking time to comment.
You mentioned about a camera around the 32nd minute. I thought there’s a sim limitation and they can’t implement it. Perhaps MSFS2024 it can be possible
I always adjusted my seat so that I could just barely see down the glareshield. This was to be acclimated to that position in the event of a low-visibility approach where the runway was late to become visible. It gave me that extra nano-second to see the lights. This always left me slightly more forward than most. The sitting position in the simulator is a little more aft than I sat in the actual airplane.
Love the stories. Thank you!
Glad you like them! I never realized how many stories I had accumulated.

By the title this sounds like a great video! Can’t wait to watch.
Kind of long my brother, but an incredible amount of content in there.
@@FatherTime1958 Watched every second of the video! Loved it.
@@logan7k Thanks Logan. You are always so positive, and I appreciate that more than you know. Jeff
Yes, story time! Love this series. Going to put this on for my ride in the 32 wheeler tonight. 🚛
Thank you! Always good to hear from you. I think that I could fill 50 videos with stories. Not all of them would be about me embarrassing myself.

Thank you, Eugene. FSiPanel normally only has 30-minute profiles, so many thanks to JP over at FSiPanel for making this longer segment. Jeff

Absolutely the finest rollout that I have ever seen. However, PMDG is the best.

Hahaha! I get the biggest thrill with the level of detail in these high end add-ons.

That's very cool! No, I was never at Mather. I had a friend from pilot training that went to Mather on the KC-135. Gerry Marlatt.
This was my first flight using FSiPanel. Great stuff. After watching this, I need to fly it a again the right way. lol

Nice video you can explain in tutorial video how work fsi panel and how to create full flight scenario . Thanks 😊

I like your hair!
Love the indecent exposure stories too. Need to check my six when I check my gig
@FSXpilotman I’ve never been the same!
Story time is great. Your career and mine have many similarities. Except Go Navy!
Always great to hear from you, and I always appreciate you taking the time to comment. However, you guys and those ships at sea. Go Air Force beat NAVY/Army
do you usually leave the APU on during cruise? I skipped around in the video so maybe missed u addressing it

I believe it can only render inside or outside. Can't have both.
Thank you for clarifying that! I think that you're right.
Hi captain, could you confirm that this is the right pilots eye view comparing to real life or should be higher ?
I always adjusted my seat so that I could just barely see down the glareshield. This was to be acclimated to that position in the event of a low-visibility approach where the runway was late to become visible. It gave me that extra nano-second to see the lights. This always left me slightly more forward than most. The sitting position in the simulator is a little more aft than I sat in the actual airplane.
Hello captain , how do you steer on taxi ( MSFS ) By joke , rudder or tiller ?
I have a dedicated controller for my NWS. I use the Hostas stick for NWS.
@@FatherTime1958 Ah, okay 👍
