With big thanks to Burning Blue Design for giving me the opportunity to give you a preview of their NEW Sandown Airport for Microsoft Flight Simulator which is actually now available.
As this is a preview copy some things may change in the final version.
We take a look around this very popular general aviation airfield and then I get some practice in the A2A Simulations Comanche flying in the area, including a touch and go at Bembridge!

Great vid and lovely flight in the A2A Comanche to showcase the stunning BBD Sandown. Looking forward to visiting in the sim.
@@AJL_UK many thanks!
Another superb video. Thank you. I've only flown into Sandown 3 times, twice in a Super Cub and last time in an Aerobat. Looks a lot different since was there last. Always remember was a little bumpy (like Compton Abbas) and that there was a footpath which ran across the runway on the Western Approach. And the dumped Norman Fieldmasters in the grass behind the Tower.
@@martinpengelly9155 many thanks Martin 🍻
This is one of the reasons this simulator is so special. With such realistic graphics, and with scenery so wonderfully made, it's almost as actually being there. And the Comanche seemed at home there, too.
What a great video. Well done, sir.
Liked, subscribed.
...Note to self: explore more the UK. :-)
@@coriscotupi many thanks! Yes this simulator is great for exploring the world.
Stunning showcase of the scenery and the aircraft, I'm sold on both 👏🏻👏🏻
@@wayneshepherd9635 many thanks! 🍻
Nice to see this one finally in the sim. I've flown here on a number of occasions in real life from both Shoreham and Goodwood.🛩
Ah fantastic! Love Goodwood too!
Looks fantastic. Even has the Astroturf runway.
Half expected to see my little T600 in her hangar.
Ah great stuff!
I'm over the moon that BBD have started on North Weald. I've got a good collection of their airfields, some I've flown from or into IRL.
Yes VERY excited about that!
Looks really good. been there a couple of times in my aeroplane. Very realistic.
@@johnhodgkiss9882 fantastic! Many thanks.
Hi and thank you for a wonderful show.
I am really impressed with how far flight simulation has come. If all student pilots would use this to train, life of a flight instructor would be so much easier.
Speaking of instructing, would you mind if I gave you some feedback?
On your walk around. As you said, the battery drains fairly quickly with the pitot heat on, also if you turn on the heat with the cover on, it melts and you are in a world of trouble.
So you start your walk around with the battery off, after you have completed the round and removed all the bits and covers, turn on the battery, pitot and lights, walk back to the pitot heat, observing the lights as you go, and feel it slowly heat up. Walk back the other way round, observing the other lights and set the battery switch back off.
Another point is the soft-field takeoff technique, if I recall correctly, it should be done with two notches of flap, and preferably be a rolling takeoff in stead of a static takeoff, reason because it could be dangerous to get stuck in the soft ground on the runway.
I applaud your landing in Bambridge, beautiful crosswind technique applied.
That’s an airport I’ve visited a few times to bring and collect Islanders from maintenance. The scenery looks magnificent.
So thanks again for sharing your video. It’s a joy to see a review and proper treatment of an aeroplane at the same time.
All the best!
Many thanks for the feedback, very useful info! Yes I must admit when I saw the pitot cover was still on I did wince a little! Interesting regarding the walk around. I will start doing it that way rather than just follow the flow on the tablet. 🍻
another great video, now I have to buy both airfields
@@murdock074 🤣 many thanks 🍻
Awesome stuff! Nice to see the Comanche back in action :)
Many thanks! Yes I need to fly it more, it’s wonderful!
Most of my time on flight sim is spent in the Comanche flying between Burning Blue airports in the South of England. For me they are the two best developers I've come across
Yes the two are a perfect combination.
Same here .. let me know when .. group flight ?
Great vid mate this scenery looks absolutely stunning BBD have knocked out the park again keep up the great work 😃 💪 🍻
@@aidonatorgaming27 many thanks! They certainly have.
@@Dreamsofwings welcome buddy 🙂🍻
Burning Blue have done absolute wonders for UK flying.
@@D25Bev they certainly have!
Big fan of BBD. They do small airfields right. Thanks for the preview
@@FlightSimVRDad they certainly do! Many thanks.
I flew into Sandown today in a PA28. The graphics in this video are really stunningly realistic, even down to the small details. I've previously downloaded the Burning Blue Lee-on-Solent, Popham and Goodwood airfields which are also very impressive. It's just a pity that the surrounding Microsoft default buildings are so unrealistic.
@@joechamberlain7441 yes I know what you mean about the default autogen, you get spoiled by perfect detail and realism at the airfield and then there’s an office block in the middle of a field 🤦🏻♂️🤣
@@Dreamsofwings At least surrounding Lee-on-Solent airfield there is 3D photogrametry, but there isn't surrounding Sandown. It's a pity Microsoft are so behind on this, Google Maps had better 3D photogrametry 10 years ago.
23 at Sandown has a right hand circuit. Was strange seeing you take off and turn left into the dead side.
@@Garycetc yes wasn’t following any set procedure, more trying to show a feel for the scenery.
just putting out there.. but what about a weekly tour (like but not necesserely) a world tour in the Comanche? l´m doing one but would love to follow you flying one!
At some point I will do another circumnavigation but don’t seem to have the spare sim time at the moment 🤦🏻♂️. Was hoping for an A2A warbird to do it in.
Thanks for a great showcase! The atmosphere of any Burning Blue Design is amazing. Sandown looks a lovely field, full of character.
I do hope in the future, we'll see one of A2A's long awaited warbirds from FSX in MSFS2020/ 24 or maybe the T-33 project that sadly never the light of day.
I hope you don't mind me asking, but can I ask what your system specs are?
Thanks again.
oh I would love to see an A2A Warbird too and many thanks for watching! I am currently using i9-14900K, 64 GB Ram, 3080ti
Thanks!
Is there any GA traffic? It would be great if there was traffic in the circuit? Perhaps with Fsltl? Thanks for the video, looks great.
@@davidh7280 you have AI or MP traffic but I have it turned off when making videos, especially with default AI because it can behave very strangely!!
How do you get those contrails over sky?
SimFX by Parallel 42, or other mod?
Thanks.
@@Goyo-Z yes SimFX
What I find difficult to comprehend is we are not far from msfs2024 and A2A have released only a single aircraft. I 🙏 for many more from them.
Yes looking forward to the Aerostar.
I really wish they would release the Accu Sim 172!
@@peterprow6093 yes I am surprised they haven’t but I am also desperate for them to release a warbird.
@@peterprow6093 Same here. That imo should have been their first plane. Miss opportunity. That is the most popular single engine and trainer in the world!
Where's Sid😢?
@@JamesParker737 you are going to have to expand on that I am afraid 🤣. Guessing Sid is someone you know there?
😂
I think he means "sid" was a helicopter pilot in a few of your video's (H145?)
@@sascenturion I think that must have been another youtuber lol. Either that or I am having a complete memory failure!
@@DreamsofwingsSid is Sandown's mascot.
He's a skeleton.
@andrewbaxman4560 where is he normally kept?
