Pilot Flies A Plane In Microsoft Flight Simulator Vs A Real Plane

Sorry but I can't take someone with an earring like that seriously

Flight simulator is brilliant for IFR not VFR training and familiarisation

Congratulations on finding a pilot who has never played MS Filght Simulator, I'm sure that wasn't easy.

You should do person who has 1000 hours on microsoft flight simulator fly plane

Are you playing the sim on a ZX Spectrum? Looks like you are getting 15 to 20 fps. It's amazing on a high end system. Yet to do VR yet but I've heard good things.

Why would I even click on BuzzFeed, I should have known

laptop to the side, not even a large screen, sorry that video could have been so much better

In the last year I'm sure he's already working for the big names right now they are so desperate for pilots.

When it comes to vehicles, video games in general have always had a problem with over steer and erratic movement. I have a feeling AI will aid in solving a lot of the physics problems games have in replicating real world physics.

am i the only one that goes to that academy 😂

Please try to land on the highway next time, thank you! :)

Have to play in be nothing like motion sickness my video screen you play be you will be wired in the copter in combat will not pay 50 for the game will wait a few yrs too much hype right now

A.) Is it on Expert? and B.) Good Grief- he really needs Rudder pedals.

why does the mfs screenshot in the thumbnail look more realistic than real life or at least it looks better than real life.

He looks like doctor Mike

The last dude I want in the pilot's seat is one with a diamond earring.

Yeah, it looks like he doesn’t play flightsim often…. you always fly simulators with literally very little input… that’s why sometimes is not good to play too much on the sim when you’re doing private pilot training because you get used to put very little input for a crosswind that needs a lot of input, like a side slip, coming from someone who did that mistake and failed a checkride for that

MSFS is frustrating when it comes to aircraft physics for me. As a real world pilot and flight sim enthusiast I can understand there is going to be a limit as to how much a sim can replicate real world flight, however my issue with MSFS is with the tailwheel aircraft physics within the sim. I feel that ASOBO have completely dropped the ball with this one. The taxi/ takeoff physics are not even close to real-life! They have more in common with an arcade game than a sim tbh. If you compare the tailwheel physics of aircraft in DCS world to MSFS, it doesn't even come close. Nose wheel undercarriage aircraft get away with this shortcoming within MSFS because these aircraft don't experience the same yaw instability on taxi and takeoff and will generally self-center if they swerv on landing

Tailwheel aircraft are much more susceptible to ground looping. Ground-looping occurs because, whereas a nosewheel aircraft is steered from ahead of the center of gravity, a taildragger is steered from behind which makes them inherently unstable on the ground. In addition, some tailwheel aircraft must transition from using the rudder to steering using a castoring tailwheel while passing through the speed range when neither is wholly effective due to the nose high angle of the aircraft and lack of airflow over the rudder. DCS World has modelled these physics really well better than any other sim I've experience. Its so unfortunate MSFS have opted to avoid modelling this.

What is that???? It looks like it's made out of plastic from the dollar store. You could do so much better

So Flight Simulator is actually kinda harder than a real airplane in a sense (squirrely and sensitive).

didnt even give the poor guy pedals

Lol msfs is more realistic then real life

why is he playing on a laptop that's in a different room?

Yoo bro has the same setup as me 😂😂

why do you remind me so much of that medicine doctor guy

A cessna172 with glass 🤣🤣🤣500,000$ instrument panel in 1970s 30,000$ aircraft. Hope they use it to train for all glass.

This dude sounds like a young pilot who somehow decided smoking a bowl before this interview was a good idea. Your setup wasn't adequate enough for this pilot either. He should have been informed on the basic game mechanics like switching views first. Also replicating his exact flight and following all the procedures would have been great. Especially from a cold and dark start. This video could have been valuable. lol

Please x plane 11 or flight sinulator?

🤦‍♂️

This dude is unlikeable

I'm thirteen I've already flown a cessna in aviation camp just made enough money to get a pc and wanted to get into the flight sim just wanted to know if it would be realistic or not and this gave me a great perspective so thanks!

In about 1984 I had a friend who was a computer programmer and he excitedly asked if I would like to see his flight simulator. "Er OK" I said and he showed me his computer which was a beige CRT black and white monitor and the flight simulator was all little white lines and dots. I asked if he wanted to go out for a few beers and he said "No, I am so into this !". Got to say I wasn't impressed.

The clouds looks better in the simulator :D

so i suppose by the looks of it that piloting is easier than the way microsoft sim puts it??

I’ve never heard an instructor say: “let the plane do whatever it wants to do.” Other than that nice video.

Dude looks like a stoner 🤣

You can totally totally set flight controls to be very realistic. Yours just wasn't. Good vid

I would ride with a guy that crashed twice from engine problems. People got nervous when he would tell them but would you rather ride with someone that’s never crashed or some that has twice and never got injured

Buzzfeed ? Aren't you Communists?

yes, you can set your sim up to where you do everything from pre flight checks to full taxi from apron, to taxi way to lining it up on the runway

I can guarantee you would never be my pilot.
I doubt i would enjoy getting the life yawed out me!

Are you a real pilot?

hes cute

You didn't even bother giving him a proper external monitor?

auto rudder, no pedals? wot???

Ya'll couldn't spring for a better setup?

Oh yea, it's BuzzFeed. I'm surprised you fuckers can afford breakfast.

Thank you. This was very interesting and you are a great pilot!
