Alright, so I got it working (spawn on runway, apparently?) but the autothrottle set-dial does not go above 400. What the hell.

I use TFDi Design PACX. tfdidesign.com/pacx.php

My father did worse. Back in 2000 he was offered by his work a return flight to New York, outbound British Airways 747 upstairs business class, return on Concorde for only £100. It was something they offered as a bonus extra for staff, instead of mailing letters and parcels across the Atlantic between their offices they would reward staff with a cheap holiday on two of the highest quality trips at the time. He turned it down because 1. He doesn't like America and 2. He thought Concorde would fly for years to come. Now he regrets turning the offer down. 😭

It turned my memory (RAM) caused some issues so had to put in my reserve modules. But I have now downloaded the Concorde and fear the worst lol. 😩

Life comes first dude, entertainment is for later. 🙂✈️

3 Minutes of Aviation are a known channel and can benefit me through a shared viewership. Lucaas I must admit I'm not aware of using my video nor asking for permission, so if that's the case then questions will be asked. I'm sorry dude, but in your case there is no mutual benefit.

@@Drawyah I just seek support for growing so that one day I'll also be recognisedd by large number of people. But barely anyone supports me. People only support channels who are already big.....they don't support small channels who are becoming big...........

In that case you *really* need to work on your Socialblade score. There's a difference (and it can be tracked) between a channel that's becoming big and one that started in 2012, lost 114,000 views in one go (including 22,000 within the last week) and ultimately has stagnated since creation. socialblade.com/youtube/channel/UCCsdWcOhaWnkW24fAlC4-hw

My google and youtube account was created in 2012 , I wasn't making videos back then. I started making videos around 9 months ago.

@@Drawyah and I had lost those views because I deleted other old gaming videos which i used to make before aviation videos.

Do you have any videos? I cannot find your channel nor anything you have uploaded.

I took 5 Virgin flights (including this ill-fated one) during my time in Australia and New Zealand, I must admit cabin-wise they didn't seem too bad (including one second-hand aircraft looking at it's history) and I didn't spot any blaring issues! Don't suppose you happen to remember the reg code of the aircraft?

today

Early downloads should be at some point today for early bird purchases!

Montego Bay would certainly be an adventure for this aircraft!

You should go fly the SkySim MD-11 then. :-)

The default FOV in MSFS makes every aircraft's nose look longer than it actually is

your nose is the issue lol

Absolutely, it's my one and only gripe with MSFS!

This is the add-on I use. IRL the pilots wouldn't hear the cabin crew, but it's a nice effect to have in stream with the volume down low! tfdidesign.com/pacx.php

You are more than welcome to, was quite the experience to witness first-hand!

@@Drawyah I can only imagine! Thanks!

Very close indeed to crossing that next milestone!

Fair few new releases just around the corner, about time I got back into simming I think!

It's a lovely aircraft to fly, one I'll feature more of in the coming weeks!

Mods used are listed in the description!

thanks also do u know how u downloaded them safely

@@AmericanAviation Either purchased from the developers directly or downloaded from freeware sites like flightsim.to.

Ok thanks

This was early days of MSFS and an A321 model. At the time, the only livery available.

This was a Boeing 737-800 NG. A bird strike can also happen to any aircraft, not just the 737 family.

Not a MAX 😂

Absolutely. This flight was a great display of on-the-nose flying, pilots thrown into the thick of it amongst nighttime flying through a valley. Forever grateful for the crew we had onboard!

Certainly a little different to the kind of things I upload, was quite the event to experience first-hand!

@@Drawyah yeah not for me mate 😐

That's an odd one, setting the pilot weight to zero should definitely hide the avatar! Perhaps check if there's an update?

Was definitely quite the sight to see on landing, hundreds of flashing red and blue lights lined up in front of the terminal when we arrived!

@@Drawyah It's been a while since I was back in Invercargill but there can't be more than 1 or 2 engines at the airport and probably 5 or 6 for the whole city. Maybe a few more from the fire engine museum if you really want to wind the drama/comedy up.

The 737 doesn't dump fuel, rather it needs to burn it off. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on the aircraft on FlightRadar24, see if and when it does leave Invercargill! Either they'll have to fly in a new engine and swap it on the spot, or get it working to the point they can limp it to a base for proper repair. I can't imagine Invercargill having much of a base for repair.

Was quite the experience! I appeared on a couple of news stations across Aus and NZ!

The 7News interview was a pleasant one, good pair of hosts on the morning show!

I was a passenger along for the ride, no point panicking, just let the pilots do their work! Fortunately I know enough about aviation to know that a bird strike is something that can generally be managed.

If you head straight down the lake there is plenty of clearance at the end and you have about 15 nautical miles in which to gain altitude. A bit narrow but safe.

We departed Runway 05 side, little option other than to follow the valley around!
