    Boeing 747-8i high altitude test flight from Charleston AFB/Int'l (KCHS) to Miami Int'l (KMIA) in Microsoft Flight Simulator. Recorded during peak hours on the VATSIM network with swamped air traffic controllers handling over 50 planes. Shoutout to them for handling these airborne savages and shoutout 43G for the butter.

    Real controller here (ZAB/ZDV, retired)! The most I’ve had on frequency was while working combined sectors, high and Ultra-high, East of ELP. I had forty-seven on frequency and, of course, WX with tops above FL450. An in-trail restriction of 10nm for DFW/DAL arrivals. Two air/gnd transmitter sites that meant working a toggle switch for comm. Time files when you're that busy. I spent three-plus hours on the position that felt like forty-five minutes.

    Little tip for RT: try avoid saying the word take-off unless you are replying to a take-off clearance. ATC might get a little itchy hearing a callsign and the word take-off when they know they haven't cleared it yet. Perfect RT would be to call "ready for departure".

    Real pilot here and retired Air Force vet and VATSIM controller. Little pet peeve of mine. Nothing too crazy…ATC said “monitor tower”. Meaning you didn’t need to check in to the tower controller and tell him you were short of 15. If he said “contact tower”, then check in with the controller. The landing was a bit long. You can see you landed close to the end of the touchdown zone…Otherwise always good and entertaining video

Seriously. When they tooled the plastic injector mould, they really messy up the tolerances, or rather.. didn't bother with tolerances.. internal parts and the mounting points, are out of positition by some significant margin. I put this down to the testing for the mould was done first thing in the morning. cooler ambience. by mid day, the entire factory is much, much hotter. so the MASTER MOULD on the day of testing (tool) did very few cycles and in a cold environment.

I know that because it was a very early morning flight with about 10 people on it and the giddy pilot came on the intercom and let us know we had this tailwind, speed, and altitude and we should REALLY enjoy this flight. I had a Bloody Mary and REALLY enjoyed the flight...btw, you really "greased" that landing, wtf was that?

He spent quite a bit of that video not only describing, but praising both Turtle Beach and the controller itself.
      It's one thing if he went out somewhere and bought it, but if they gave him that controller in exchange for airtime, that's an advertizement for their product. And the FTC rules are very clear on the subject that it cannot and must not look like just another one of his videos. There should be tags, posts in titles, or "anything that cannot be avoided and/or hidden." Microsoft hired a pair of influencers (like five to ten years ago) to review one of their games, and the influences failed to disclosed that the "Let's Play" video was a paid sponsorship by Microsoft. The FTC came down hard on both the influencers and Microsoft, fining all three.
      The rules are there to protect you and I from being manipulated through people we look up to and respect. I like AFP95. I enjoy watching his videos. That's why I mentioned it. I don't want to see him get into trouble. Better he fixes his video before the FTC catches him. All it takes is one person with a grudge, and this could sideline him.

      New to flight sims and never been near a cockpit IRL (except for before 9/11 when the pilots used to invite us kids up to the cockpit - that was pretty cool) and yeah man, this feels true! There's some training activities though, and there are also lots of tutorials around. You start to get the hang of the various concepts after a while. Also Microsoft flight sim has a "Co pilot" option that can handle various aspects of the aircraft for you, so you don't have to master everything at once and you can get into the big jets before too long. But maybe stick to single player for a while first (I'm not ready to ruin everyone else's days on multiplayer servers JUST yet!)
      It's great if you love to learn like I do though. I never knew that flight sims were so accessible until lately. For my whole life, every time I fly, I've sat there looking at planes and wondering what all the parts and buttons do and what goes into flying them. Came across it after I was in Adelaide for 2 weeks, where my dad's house has a great view of the airport and it's nice to sit out on the verandah and watch the planes land and take off, which got me wondering again how it all works. I'm starting to think like an older person going "wow the things we have these days - how lucky are we!"
