"So it's basically a game where people pretend to be Airline Pilots and Air Traffic Control?" "Yeah, with surprising realism." "And you find this fun to play?" "God no! I watch some guy on RUclips play it."
To be fair the realism is what makes it fun. You know its good when you hear squeakers every now and then. And it makes me appreciate this game and hobby as well. The same can be said about any other game really. Some people simply have different tastes and different hobbies and thats completely fine. I would never see myself playing a train sim game but at the same time I have 400 hours on euro truck sim.
So happy to see you fly one of these old beauties. This is the plane that I flew in my first long haul flight, a Lufthansa transatlantic 11h flight, back when in-flight entertainment consisted of screens on the ceiling showing whatever movie the crew decided to show that day.
It's always how it goes with the long flights. The excitement of departing on a long journey followed by the realization you're going to have a virtual plane on autopilot for the next several hours.
Back in the "good old days" (FSX), I did a non-stop flight from Bermuda to the Azores in a Boeing 314 using celestial navigation. Flight/attitude stablisation yes, autopilot no. Meal/coffee and bathroom breaks were kinda "interesting". 😆 Flight time was - as far as I recall - also well over 10 hours.
a good glider comrade and friend of mine and me flew these long distances together in msfs X when we were younger. We started sober and landed wasted. good times.
He didn’t nail it (I’m Aussie) but it was still a respectable attempt. Aussies will know you are putting on an accent, but it’s not so bad that we laugh at you.
As a HK viewer , i really like ho AFpround flying to Hong Kong Airport, no matter it's the old Kai Tak Airport or the new HKIA. Lookingforward for more content like this
Brings back childhood memories of seeing how close the buildings were as my plane made the approach to Kai Tak (I flew on a Cathay Pacific B747-200 from YVR that time), a fascinating treat that plane enthusiasts today can no longer experience in real life.
@@SYDAirlineEnthusiast hahahaha. Ok. Let’s get them all out. Let’s see Bravo India tango Charlie hotel Sierra hotel India tango (Um) I think that’s all of them
Ah, miss the good old times with the approaches into Kai Tak... Also really love the old Cathay livery on the old A340's, beautiful plane, always loved the 4 engined ones. Something really streamlined and evocative about them, harkening back to the golden days of the jets with the 707 and DC8's. Anyway felt good to be reliving these good old times from back in the day with this flight. Cheers for that! I'd very much love to see you do more 'Historical' flights, you know flights from the different eras of aviation, you know relive some of the old flight routes on historical aircraft and historical airlines from the time period!
Oh my god, I was flying from YMML to YSSY at that time. Either I missed you or that Aussie accent was REAL GOOD. Been waiting for a flight from my country for ages...thanks heaps AFP! Great vid as always :)
Time travellin' back to Hong Kong during a simpler time. I remember from the window seat how terrifyingly close the buildings were as a kid flyin' home for the holidays.
I love your videos as soon as you upload I tend to watch them pretty quickly and more often than not I tend to binge watch them all and I even actually invested in the Turtle Beach VelocityOne Flightstick because of you and I'm now terrorizing the skies in full realism in my F-22 Raptor on my Xbox. keep up your amazing content man I love it!
Longest one I ever did was back in FSX. An Interflug (East German) A310 from Berlin Schönefeld to Havana, Cuba. Man, that thing was *light* by the time I touched down. Nice autopilot on the A300 and A310 though. Made it a pleasure.
"I have never flown in Australia before. I often fly over Europe and the United States. This is the first time I've heard an Australian clearance, and I could only understand half of it.

Without them, even if I listened a thousand times, I wouldn't be able to figure out what they were saying. Once again, my heartfelt thanks! ❤👍👍👍
What a coincidence. I just had a flight with an A340-300 Cathay Pacific in MSFS2020 too (4 hours instead of 10+ from Osaka to Hong Kong), and quitted a few minutes ago. Now I see this video being uploaded 24 minutes ago.
Why in the hell do I find these so relaxing? Oh yeah, I’m not on the plane, that’s why. Keep em coming. Please fly more Spirit, especially since they just laid off a bunch of pilots. Flights are going to be saucy now. Hell, the pilots and crew may join the passengers in fighting.
The proportions are off on Kai Tak. The turn from the checkerboard is a lot tighter, and the runway is a lot narrower. Its why you had a lot of engine strikes back in the day.
My nephew is training to be a virtual pilot and he always says how AFP95 is one of his favorite idols to emulate while he completes his student pilot program!! Keep up the great work! I’m going to be one proud uncle once my nephew gets his simulator wings and he already promised he would take me on a flight once he gets his full virtual license!!! 🤘🏼🥳🤘🏼
I'd very much love to see you do more 'Historical' flights, you know flights from the different eras of aviation, you know relive some of the old flight routes on historical aircraft and historical airlines from the time period.

When u said sit the fuck down in the announcement. Straight after a baby started to cry. Good job on making a child cry.
Making children cry is literally in every first officer's job description.
I dunno why you're congratulating him, it's pretty easy to do.
To be fair, your baby *did* really need to sit the fuck down.
Overblowing the mic volume was a nice touch, too.

"So it's basically a game where people pretend to be Airline Pilots and Air Traffic Control?"
"Yeah, with surprising realism."
"And you find this fun to play?"
"God no! I watch some guy on RUclips play it."
For some reason I read this in Robin Williams voice, like when he describes how to play golf.
"No of course not...I'm not a loser....I watch someone else do that"

My brother in law is training to be an airline pilot. I’ve told him to watch AFP to understand the right way to handle an aircraft.
hes good in boeings but i notices on takeoff he forgot to enable max autobrake and arm spoilers just a heads up
AFP is probably not the best role model for a real pilot...

No I came here yesterday!

good job on that landing, especially with the plane insulting you right before touching down.

EPIC! Used to fly to Kai Tak visiting HK when I was a kid

Started watching you like two days ago and I’ve been binging, this videos are great
Time travellin' back to Hong Kong during a simpler time. I remember from the window seat how terrifyingly close the buildings were as a kid flyin' home for the holidays.
Loved all the different exterior views, keep them up!
Damn, now that was a nice landing! BUTTER!
Was so happy to see you on Rhett&Links channel!
The kid crying after the 'OMG' got me so good lol. Love it!
Life is so interesting, you can either get a full time career as a pilot or get a full time career as a virtual pilot streamer. Love it.
Nicely done :) I remember flying this approach in my first sim, FS 98!
"Knees are weak, arms are heavy..." lol I know that feeling after waking up to the sim.
Eminem reference
10:04 i've never laughed so hard in my life
💀💀💀 DO A BARREL ROLL
I didnt expect it either 😂
Had a really frustrating day today, just got home and sat in front of the computer and this popped up. Thank you for the mostly pleasant flight 😌
Always look forward to these vids, by far the best and funniest flight sim pilot on YT.
One of two channels I have all notifications on for. NOW BOARDING. Thank you AFP.
That was clinical landing ❤
KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK AF95!
15:07 - this part of the landing will always make me laugh
Wow it perfectly simulates my parent's feedback to me trying to win their approval.
This games so realistic feeling
Yes! A new AFP95 video! Loved the controller having a brain fart on what to say to YT 🤣

I just watched your full sim landing at Kai Tak- looking forward to this one!
You could drive from Atlanta to North Carolina and back and still be on that flight 💀
Atlanta to NC isn't very far. I've driven from NC to MO in 8 hours.
Living next to, and having to navigate parts of I-85 has me believing some people out there could make a that trip near twice in this flight time. 💀
thats like 3 hrs, not rlly that bad
@@MrSande yep, but back makes it 6 hours, and all that time the a340 will still be in the air!
You could walk between north and south dakota hundreds of times and still be on that flight
I’m so glad that this video came out on my birthday. I need a good laugh. Thanks for the many years of laughter!!!
Woo!! Watching from hk and so cool to see you land in the old kai tak airport!
Finally i’ve been waiting so long for his next post

Fascinating and weirdly entertaining.
I’ve dabbled and it was a sort of magic.
Subbed.
Thanks!
The Aussie accent caught me so off guard
“We are extremely heavy” aka the A340-300 is severely underpowered with 4 CFM hairdryers
I have the Toliss -600 variant and it definitely fairs a lot better with more powerful engines.
Thats why I still hope that if one Day Fenix releases a new Project after their 320, it will be a 340-600.
I wonder how the a340-500 could even pull off the Singapore to Newark flight.
@@SYDAirlineEnthusiast By not having Hairdryers.
But at least it never killd anyone
Great landing. I used to play MFS back in 2008 or 2009. This brings me back.
Loving the Aussie accent.
Beautiful landing on probably one of the most fun approaches in the world
10:07 Very common mistake to fly your next approach inverted when coming from down under 🤣
Gotta love the roar of those beautiful A340's engines!
Pure entertainment as always, love it!
Dude, that landing was incredible. I think it was a 9/10, it's Kai Tak for crying out loud.
