Excellent video, as always, and can't thank you and MrMach2 for the livery. I used to fly for BM in the late 1990s - they were then operating 3, 4 and 500 series aircraft (G OBMA was actually a 300 series) - I've just looked back through my log books and note that I never actually flew GOBMA for some reason - just about all the others in the fleet though. Lovely aircraft, a joy to fly.
Thank you very much Maxautobrake! I'm really glad you enjoyed the video and I hope it brought back some nice memories then. It's been great to see a few old Midland guys enjoying the livery.
Always preferred the classic over the NG myself, but the 700 will have to do for the time being haha. Who knows, maybe I was even on one of your flights, I did a couple of trips with Midland around that time, as a young lad ; )
I'm planning on having a whole host of Midland liveries done up in due course, I'll be uploading them to my Flightsim.to page when they're done : )
Cheers and all the best!
Hear Ye Hear Ye - By order of her Majesty, from this video forward, the officeal airline for Into the Blue Simulations shall be British Midland Airways/Airlines/Livery. This order shall remain in effect - until it's changed! !! !!!
Ther you go, NOW it's official. GREAT flight and it is nice that you are keeping an icon alive.
Haha, thanks very much Mark! Great to have it ratified by none other than Her Majesty XD
I can sleep easy now, knowing it’s 100% official : P
I’m glad you enjoyed the flight and indeed the idea. I’m currently working on a couple more Midland liveries, which I should be featuring in due course.
Cheers : )
Congrats on the 20k, richly deserved.
Thank you very much Jarrod! Very much appreciated : )
@@IntotheBlueSimulations dear Captain, a new update/fix for the 737 PMDG is ready!
Oh my, I was thinking if this plane had the British midland livery (Which I really wanted) and I’m so happy to see that it does!
Hi Bazza,
The Midland livery doesn’t come with the addon however, you can download it for free, over on my Flightsim.to page (as well as Midland liveries for a number of other aircraft : )
Happy to hear you’re a Midland fan also. All the best!
Great idea with British Midland, very nice livery. Well done indeed on the vid and subs 👍
Thanks very much CP!
Yes, as I say, I had thought about creating a channel livery originally, but I’m really happy I went down the Midland route instead. I was really sad to see the airline go, so it’s nice to be able to “bring them back” in some way, shape, or form : )
Cheers and all the best!
Congratulations on a well-deserved 20k subscribers. Your calm pilot voice makes it so easy to understand. Many thanks.
Thank you very much Andrew! Haha, well not everyone seems to agree regarding my voice, but you can’t please everyone right ; )
Really glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks very much for watching and all the best : )
I bloody love this type of video, G-ITBS. You do such a comprehensive job I learn at least one new thing each video which improves my immersion experience. Thanks mate.
Thanks very much indeed Andy! Really glad you enjoyed it!
I find these sorts of videos some of the most fun to make and whilst they’re generally not as popular as the reviews, it’s great to know that some of my audience still finds them entertaining. All the better if you pick up a thing or two by watching them; I try to format the videos, such that each flight has a little something to offer : )
A big thank you again and all the best!
That first picture at the very beginning in the gate… that gave me a DIFFERENT type of vibe and feeling and I don’t know how to explain it
Hehe, a good vibe I hope Amer1can?
I'm glad the clip evoked *something* at any rate; I was quite pleased with the shot and I dare say the boy depicted in the video was about the same age I was when I first flew (perhaps just a little older).
Cheers and all the best : )
Another great video from you. Always very professional and informative. I make sure I never miss one ITTB. Keep them coming
Thanks very much indeed James, very kind of you to say! I'm really glad you enjoyed the video; obviously this one was a real labour of love : )
Cheers and all the best!
Just downloaded this fantastic mod. Never flown a Boeing before but I have 1100 hours in the standard A320. In all my years with MSFS I’ve never modded it or flown Boeing. Looking forward to learning the Boeing systems!! Thanks for this video.
Well, best of luck with the Boeing, Vectra haha! It’s a slippery slope, once you go down the path of using “study level” addons but, I’m sure you’ll have a great time with it. The Airbus is largely a masterpiece of design however, I find the Boeing is much more fun to operate ; )
My pleasure on the video! Happy flying and all the best : )
Congrats on the well-deserved 20k subscribers - always great content, and very much appreciated.
I flew with BM quite a bit back in the day - great idea to adopt them for your channel!
Thank you very much for the kind words Erny! I’m really happy to hear you’re enjoying the content.
Yes, BM is an airline that has always meant a lot to me, so I thought it would be nice to bring them back as best I can. It’s been fun seeing some of the liveries come to life again and I have a few more in the works also : )
My pleasure on the videos. Cheers and all the best!
Cracking video, as usual, and congrats on achieving 20K!
Thank you very much once again John. It’s a nice little milestone to have reached for sure - I’m really pleased to have been able to build a community, based around what I love doing. The Midland project is something I’m really happy to have gotten started, so I’m glad you enjoyed the video!
Cheers as always : )
Great video as always. Congratulations on the 20k. I'd love to see your sim set up & what kit you use. Maybe you could give a short guided tour in a future video?
Thanks very much A Sill! Much appreciated : )
Haha, well currently my setup is looking pretty sorry for itself, as I’m crammed away in the corner of the spare room. We’re most likely looking to move some time in the new year though, so perhaps I’ll look to make such a video once I have my own office space again ; )
Thanks for the suggestion - all the best!
Congratulations on your 20k subscribers. You richly deserve this. All the best.
Thank you very much indeed Daniel, very kind of you to say!
Really glad you’re enjoying the content. All the best! : )
Just a few months after this comment and you're now closing in on 30K subscribers, which is no surprise given the quality of your production - another beautiful video.
Indeed Skobie; growth on the channel seems to come in fits and starts haha, but we’re certainly edging up there ; )
Thanks very much for the kind words - I’m very happy to hear that you’re enjoying the content! : )
Will happily download and use the BMI livery. Think that’s a fab idea 👍
Lovely stuff! Very happy to hear that Mark (and thanks for the screenshots over on Discord by the way) - I do hope you're enjoying it.
Yes, I was thinking of doing a channel livery originally and basing it quite heavily on the Midland paint scheme haha, but then I figured, why not just re-boot Midland instead. It's been great to see people enjoying the livery, I'm definitely planning on creating a few more in due course.
Happy flying! : )
That was a fun idea, well done on 20k and here's to that many and more!
Cheers Joe! Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks very much for your support and for coming along for the ride! ; )
Yes, very well deserved indeed 👏!
Cheers Rusty! Very kind of you to say : )
Not trying to be all sappy, but your channel is my favorite as far as MSFS2020 goes. Would love to see a thorough realism video on the Cessna 414AW, but I never expect or feel entitled to any requests I make. Cheers!
Also, I like the re-branding. It never hurts to change things up.
Haha, well thanks very much Ryan! ; )
I am actually planning another outing in the C414. It may even get recorded over the weekend (although I can't say when it would actually be uploaded) Even though the aircraft is now out of beta, it seems every time I install it, it gets updated again (not to say that it isn't an excellent product though of course!) XD
I'm glad you like the new logo! I was pretty happy with how it came out. I think it's a bit fresher / more modern and it better reflects the mix of flying that I do here on the channel. Cheers!
Thanks again and all the best : )
Congratulations on 20K subscribers!
Cheers mate, very much appreciated! I see it won’t be long until you’re celebrating the same milestone yourself! : D
All the best : )
Ha I hear Callsign
Jetset
Was me AMM
It looked like the Kiwis were there in force for the "20,000 Subscriber" celebrations with at least 6 Air New Zealand aircraft at Heathrow. 😁 Thanks very much for all of the work you have put in to your videos. They have proven to be both educational and entertaining. Keep up the great work.
Haha, they were! Must have been in town to give us another thrashing over at Twickenham XD
Actually, when I first loaded in on the ramp, it was filled with French aircraft; we couldn't have that now could we. . . : P
Thank you very much indeed sir! I can honestly say it has been my absolute pleasure. Let's hope the journey continues : )
Cheers and all the best!
Excellent video, thoroughly enjoyed. Thanks!
Thanks very much Jase! Really glad you enjoyed it : )
20k you deserve 100 and that won't be long, we're you pulled up to the left is was our break room in the 1999 so no wonder nobody there 😂 great video as always, take care fly hi.
Thanks very much James, really appreciate it! Let's hope things keep ticking along : )
Ha! You could at least have brought me out a cuppa then XD
Cheers and all the best!
New microphone ah?! 😉
Excellent video man! Very nice. 👏👏
Haha! Indeed Lucas!
Well I'm glad you noticed. I wasn't sure if there was much difference initially and thought perhaps it even sounded worse, but I think I'm slowly dialling it in now and the audio has improved somewhat.
Really glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching and all the best : )
@@IntotheBlueSimulations the sound was very good! :)
Brilliant, v informative and enjoyable, many thanks
Thank you very much indeed UAV! My absolute pleasure : )
All the best!
Awesome stuff, well done!
Thanks very much Richard! I'm really glad you enjoyed it : )
All the best!
Congratulations ! And I am sure this is just à beginning 😉
Thanks very much Victor! Much appreciated : )
congrats ItB, another great flight. to many many more
Cheers Marshie! Glad you enjoyed it. Haha, I think I have a few more in me yet ; )
Hope you’ve been enjoying some well deserved downtime! All the best : )
I liked the Midland story. Good to see it flying. I might have to do something similar with Ansett here in Australia! Ansett ceased flying here in Australia a little over 20yrs ago now.
I’m glad you like the idea, Anastacia. I was originally going to come up with some sort of “channel livery”, but Midland means a lot to me and it makes me happy every time I see the livery in the virtual skies haha. So, I’m glad I went with this idea instead.
I’m certainly familiar with Ansett and in fact, I’ve had a few ex-Ansett guys comment on various videos. I’m sure many would love to see Ansett back up in the Air also : )
Cheers and all the best!
great job,,2 thumbs up keep up the great work!
Thanks very much Ib oogie - I’m really glad you enjoyed it : )
All the best!
If one video could tempt me to buy the 737 it might be this one. Worked as weekend ground staff for BMA back in the early 80s (DC9 and F27 days) at a once very popular British holiday destination. Good times. Thanks for the super video.
Hi Guy,
Haha, well I'm glad the video brought back some nice memories at any rate! Obviously there is now also the 737-600, offering a very cost effective option - I'm planning to get some liveries done up for that as well.
Ah lovely stuff! I could probably hazard a guess as to where that might have be then haha. I actually just finished recording another Midland video and I think I might have featured your old home airport - we'll see ; )
Thanks very much for watching! I'm really glad you enjoyed it : )
Just caught up with your -600 video. Looks great. Watch out wallet 🤣 I can see myself re-activating my Navigraph subs too, it’s been a while.
Looking forward to your next BMA video 😁👍
Great achievement :-). Congratulations - onward and upward 🙂
Thank you very much indeed James! It's a nice milestone of course, but it's even better to have built a great little community and have gotten to know some of you a little better along the way. I'm pretty happy to have been able to get the Midland project up and running also - it's an airline I have very fond memories of.
Always a pleasure! : )
Congrats on 20k u deserved it :)
Thanks very much SBG! Very kind of you to say and much appreciated : )
@@IntotheBlueSimulations all good its a big milestone and i love supporting bigger youtubers :)
Great video as always! Congrats on 20k.
A question; In the real world, would having a Master Caution illuminate briefly on take off be a cause to reject? I'm guessing if it switches off then there's no cause for concern, although I think personally it would leave me feeling uneasy!
Cheers Adam! Much appreciated : )
I can’t speak as to what they do on the 737, but the Airbus is a bit more clever, in that the aircraft will only really inform you about critical failures during the takeoff (the rest are inhibited). So on the bus yes, you would generally stop for an ECAM + a few other prescribed failures. Generally speaking, anything below 100kts and we would stop, above that we would be more “go minded” and above V1 you’re taking it into the air.
There is one particular member of the Airbus family that I’ve flown, that does have a penchant for very briefly bringing up Master Warnings / ECAMS; usually so briefly, that one can’t even spot what they were in relation to. Initially it did leave everyone feeling a touch uneasy haha.
I hope that clarifies things a little. All the best : )
P.S. I actually would have liked to have know what caution was triggered during the takeoff run here. I’m glad it cleared though - I’d be lost without an ECAM XD
Thanks for another great video. (A bit late, i know :P). As usual a joy to watch you go through those procedures so smoothly.
Haha, "better late than never" as they say sir! : P
I'm glad you got a chance to watch it though, this vid was obviously a little passion project on my part. I wouldn't pretend to know exactly what I'm doing with the 737, but I certainly enjoy giving it my best shot haha XD
Thanks for watching : )
@@IntotheBlueSimulations Must be abit confusing perhaps from the Airbus? It just dawned on me, is BM the airline you fly for IRL?
I didn't know the speedbrakes retracted themselves after the landing, and I'm a captain with over 12 squillion flight hours in a 737-800. That's what it says in my flight log in MSFS anyway. 12 squillion.
Haha, well 12 squillion is a pretty sizeable number TGH! Just goes to show that no matter how experienced one is, we can always be learning new things ; )
I'm not *that* familiar with the 737, but I would imagine the auto-retraction would be a function of thrust setting, if anything. . .
All the best! : )
great video, as always! I haven't wrote this for a long time, I'm trying to catch up. :D I'm missing from this full immersion videos the passenger briefing (of course with an ununderstandable distortion :D) and the calls like "cabin crew, take off" :D
Unfortunately as an XBox user I'm not able to take part in the contest, but that's life, this platform forces me also bigger compromises. :)
all the best for you, I hope you little co-pilot is doing well! :) from my side I'm still planning to get back in the skies...
Hello Péter, great to hear from you : )
I'm glad you enjoyed the video; this one was definitely a little bit of a "labour of love" hehe. Haha, well my "passenger briefing" is sort of covered off during the introduction, as I usually brief you guys then : P
Hmm yes, I do apologise on that one! I must admit it hadn't occurred to me, that only PC users would be able to take part. That's a real shame and I will have to try and come up with a more inclusive competition idea next time (or create a British Midland livery pack and get it up on the Marketplace haha).
The little co-pilot is doing well thank you! Starting to behave herself a little better haha and we're getting full nights of sleep now! : D
I hope all is well with you? Sounds like you've been keeping very busy?
Take care sir!
The good old BMI
Thank you so ITB
You’re most welcome Pezza! Glad you enjoyed it : )
All the best!
First thing I noticed, the aircraft is not being rained on. cockpit looks like it's fresh out of the factory, other than that, it's a great video as always.
Very true re the aircraft not being rained on. I knew something looked a little “off” with the shot, but couldn’t quite put my finger on it at the time. . .
The cockpit is a overly clean for my tastes also. There is a mod to “fix” that up and I’ve been meaning to give it a go (just haven’t got around to it yet).
I’m glad you enjoyed the video otherwise though. Cheers and all the best! : )
Always wanted to learn the new higher end jets. Does it take a lot to learn them with all the systems?
Hi Lone Wolf,
It can be quite time consuming initially, but I would say that once you have learnt one commercial jet, the rest are somewhat easier to learn thereafter. To some degree, these sorts of aircraft can be as simple or as complex as you want them to be; to get the 737 started up from cold and dark, could actually be done with just 5-10 switches, but to do it properly is of course much more protracted process. I would recommend keeping things simple initially and building up your knowledge with each flight. These days there is a wealth of tutorial materials on RUclips etc, which makes the whole learning process much more accessible than it used to be.
I recommend giving it a go! It can be an incredibly rewarding experience. Perhaps start out with the FBW A320 (as it offers a good "stepping stone") and then go from there.
Best of luck and happy flying! : )
This flight sim channel reminds me of Carlsberg Lager. Probably the best in the world.
Phew. . . and for a moment there John, I thought you were going to say "cheap, weak and lacking in depth" XD
Well thank you very much indeed! Very kind of you to say and it's always a pleasure to hear that people are enjoying the content. Thank you for your continued support. "Cheers"! : )
P.S. I do actually like Carlsberg haha.
When I see the effectivity of these wipers, it reminds me of my first car skoda 120 😁
HA! Maybe that's where Asobo bought them from XD
BM USED to operate the 707 was in the Yemen on a wet lease BM 707” s flying for Syrian Arab Airlines remember well helping free off T/R blocker doors and ripping fingers apart removing the TC pylon cowlings, happy days; Jim Turner was chief flight Engineer and gave me my first FE job. Cheers Charlie
Indeed Charlie, I have heard a few tales of BM 707's ending up in interesting parts of the world. Sadly no 707 in the sim yet (although I'm hoping we'll see one some day), but I am planning to have a retro BM livery made up for the DC-6, so that should be a nice option for those who prefer a more classical approach to their simming : )
I'm glad the vid brought back a few nice memories anyway - hope your fingers are feeling a bit better now : P
All the best!
I watched your start-up of the aircraft. I noticed that you caught the elevated egt on the turbine. Not many combined cycle power plant operators catch that or understand the chain of events that are happening in their gas turbines when it does.
I would love to fly as a passenger on any aircraft that you are flying :)
A simply relaxing flight
Thanks Pat, glad you enjoyed it! : )
Hi Andrew,
Well it caught me a little bit by surprise haha, since I had only just loaded the aircraft in. On the Airbus it would motor the engine and cool things off before introducing the fuel, but no such luxury on the Boeing apparently ha.
Cheers! Who knows, maybe I’ll have you on board one of these days : )
All the best!
Pretty amazing, but ... the wipers don't wipe away the water!!!
Thanks Henri, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Haha, indeed they do not. In fairness to PMDG, the sim doesn't natively support wiper animations currently; that being said, it is possible to work around the issue, as Fenix have done with their A320. The wipers do kill the immersion a touch, but overall it's still incredible just how far PC flight simulation has come!
Cheers and all the best : )
hey man if you want to make your 737 flights even more realistic i recommend watching one of 737NG Driver 's full flights since he's a 737 pilot . I watched one of his recorded streams and there was dozens of things i had no idea was procedure and a lot of useful features too that i had no idea about. of course you're not as clueless as i was about it but you can definitely improve your experience if you see how he does it
Thanks very much for the heads-up Sesgow. Coincidentally, I did actually watch one of his streams just the other day haha. I am always keen to learn more, but unfortunately I simply don’t have the time to learn each aircraft in as much depth as I would like. So generally I learn what I can and then fill in the blanks with checklists / my own knowledge (I therefore end up flying almost everything a bit like an Airbus haha). I’m really enjoying the 737 though, so I’m sure I’ll get there bit by bit.
Cheers and all the best! : )
Great vid. Thank you. What do you use for Atc?
It’s an audio recorded a while ago. If you type in Heathrow ATC on RUclips - you’ll find it. 👍🏻
Thanks for offering up the help LBN : )
Thanks very much Morten, glad you enjoyed it! The ATC is indeed recorded clips (from some time ago) which I then edited into the video - I found them over on AVSIM. There is an ATC chatter app available for MSFS though, if that’s the sort of thing you’re after : )
Cheers and all the best!
Excelent graphics, my friend! If you don't mind, could you share your graphics settings in MFS?
Thanks very much CG, I’m glad you thought so : )
My graphical settings on this machine (I just brought a new PC) were broadly as such:
- “High End” preset
- Pre-Cache = Ultra
- Terrain and Object visibility sliders set at 125% (sorry, I forget the actual names of them)
- Motion Blur = Off
- Glass Cockpit Refresh = Medium
- AI Traffic = Off
- VSync = On / 60fps
That gives a nice balance between graphical fidelity and performance. I only run at 1080p, hence the decent FPS / smooth performance. The things I’ve turned off / down are known to be famerate hogs. I also spend a lot of time tweaking the weather / lighting in my videos, which accounts for much of the graphical fidelity, as that can make a huge different to how the sim looks overall.
I hope that helps a little! All the best : )
@@IntotheBlueSimulations Thank you very much! Keep with the excellent job!
You’re most welcome, CG! Thanks very much for the kind words, I shall do my best ; )
There's a click spot beside the speedbrake lever for each setting if you don't want to wait for it to retract.
Thank you sir - a much better way of doing things haha! This was a huge help in my recent 600 video; I'm afraid I couldn't remember your name in the heat of the moment, but I did give you a little "thank you" during that video ; )
Cheers and all the best!
Where are the sound effects from the ATC from?
Hi Jonathan,
The ATC is actually real-world recordings, which I’ve then edited into the video. I found the recordings over on Avsim. There is an ATC chatter app available for MSFS though, if that’s the sort of thing you’re after : )
I hope that helps a little. All the best : )
Did you ever drive buses for BMI or were you too young?
I didn't AN. Age-wise it would have been possible (and it was the goal when I was going through training), but by the time I had my licence, the airline had sadly folded. I very much grew up around BM though and I was lucky enough to do some work experience with them also (they did let me at the controls of a couple of their sims at least haha).
Good memories - hence the little project : )
What is the difference between the 737-700 and -800 variants I've always wondered ? The flight deck looks identical
Hello James,
The short answer would be "not a lot" haha. The 737NG family is almost identical from one variant to the next. There are minor systems differences etc, but the jets are designed to share as much commonality as possible. The main difference between the 600, 700, 800 and 900 (and indeed the 300, 400, 500 etc) is the fuselage size / length. Different cabin capacities mean that different airframes can be chosen to serve certain markets. For example, an airline might prefer a 600 over a 900, if they're only flying to destinations with light passenger loads (overall a smaller aircraft would be the more fuel efficient / cheaper option). At any rate, the cockpits are virtually identical as you point out.
I hope that clarifies things a little. All the best : )
@@IntotheBlueSimulations thanks for the reply! That's very informative. Does this mean it's the same type rating to fly all variants?
Did you fly with live weather?
I often do Elling, but I wasn’t using it here. Of course when I want clear skies, it’s pouring with rain and vice versa haha. I went for the rain preset in this video, just to do something a bit different : )
All the best!
Got just one problem, when I try to engage VS mode, it automatically switches to LVL change and maintains altitude when I'm trying to descend.
Any advice?
Hi GB,
I’m not really an expert when it comes to the Boeing; the only thing that springs to mind - are you setting a lower altitude on the MCP first? If you are, I’m not really sure what could be causing that behaviour from the autopilot, as I believe VS should ignore any constraints etc. . .
All the best!
I do believe I am, I'll give it another shot
Thanks!
Hi,
It still won't work after I put in a new altitude. I gave it another try and it kicks in during takeoff and just zooms past my desired cruising altitude. I'm not sure else it could be. Could you give me some slight advice or redirect me to someone who would know?
Thanks!
What ATC was used during this?
Hi Nyx,
The ATC is actually real-world recordings, which I’ve then edited into the video. I found the recordings over on Avsim. There is an ATC chatter app available for MSFS though, if that’s the sort of thing you’re after : )
I hope that helps a little. All the best!
What is the scenery at the very beginning of the video?
Hi Cad,
It’s the Pyreegue Edinburgh airport scenery (the destination at the end of the video). The terminal is modelled, so I headed inside to get the shot.
I hope that helps? All the best : )
Lol you got a bit lazy while starting out briefing the arrival (27:50) ".. it´s an rnav "sid".."... Good stuff.. Just sayin¨.. ;-)
Haha, well I wouldn't say lazy Chuck, so much as a slip of the tongue. I'm sure even Mr Yeager himself made the odd mistake ; )
I did pick that one up myself when watching the video back though haha. Still, I'm glad you enjoyed it otherwise : )
Cheers and all the best!
What Heathrow scenery is that?
Hi MGAE,
It's actually the "default" Heathrow scenery, that comes with the Premium Deluxe version of the sim. Unfortunately Asobo don't offer it as a separate purchase; it's a fairly decent rendition of Heathrow and quite a bit more fps friendly than the iniScenes version of the airport.
I hope that helps a little. All the best! : )
Those wipers are doing absolutely nothing!
Haha, indeed Phillip. It’s a shame that PMDG haven’t modelled proper wiper functionality; the sim doesn’t support it by default, but a few other devs have figured out workarounds. . .
All the best : )
@@IntotheBlueSimulations apart from that the PMDG 737 is pretty special!
Agreed, one of my favourite jets to operate : )
Cheers Phillip!
Missed out a word - "can't thank you and MrMach2 enough..." I meant to say.
Haha, no worries! My brain apparently filled in the blanks anyway - I didn't even notice at the time XD
Cheers!
funny - the wipers don't work - just like in real life. i bet the cadence of the wipers increases pilot-heart rates by ~10 bpm
Haha, they're arguably better than real life Bill, since at least the virtual wipers don't scratch up the windscreen XD
Yeah, I find wipers are often a distraction more than anything; I very rarely use them other than for taxiing (never noticed whether or not they put my heart rate up though haha).
All the best! : )
No V calls?
Hi Moose,
Did you mean from myself, or from the aircraft? The aircraft has an auto “V1” call-out and the virtual first officer calls “Vr”. I don’t recall 100% but, I think there may be an option to turn these calls on / off via the aircraft’s configuration menu.
I hope that clarifies things. All the best : )
Do you use Nvidia game filter, if so what are your settings?
Hi Tristan,
I don’t use any Nvidia filters currently. I did very briefly, but could never find a balance I was happy with under all conditions, so I’m back to a “vanilla “ sim again now. I do occasionally use a slight vignette in some of my external shots (added in during editing), so it might be worth selecting that from the Nvidia filters, if you want to replicate the look of my videos a little more. Ultimately though, I tend to try and choose lighting / weather quite carefully for my videos and that makes a big difference in terms of how the sim looks overall.
I hope that helps a little. All the best! : )
@@IntotheBlueSimulations ok thanks
You’re welcome!
Bro how do you get actual people doing radio comms in the ATC ? The computer one on msfs is so fucking irritating
It’s an audio recorded. Type in Heathrow ATC on RUclips - you’ll find it! 👍🏻
Cheers again LBN! : )
Hi TL,
It’s as Longbyname states basically: I use real-world recordings (found these on Avsim), which I then edit into the video. There is an ATC chatter available for MSFS though, if that’s the sort of thing you’re after. I sadly have to agree, that currently the MSFS ATC is not fit for purpose.
I hope that helps! All the best : )
I'm sorry to say it was too blur to watch.
Ah, sorry to hear that Panagiotis. I presume you mean that the resolution was too low? Unfortunately 1080p is the best I can really manage for the moment, but I am planning to upgrade my PC (and with it the resolution of my videos) some time fairly soon.
All the best : )
@@IntotheBlueSimulations Thank you for your reply. I follow almost all your videos because they're instructive and educational.
lol these wipers not doing anything. That would be 70 dollars for this
Well to be fair to PMDG, the wipers not working is actually an MSFS limitation - their operation is not natively supported in the sim. That being said, working wipers can be implemented with a workaround (Fenix managed to pull it off) and for $70, PMDG probably should have given it a go yes.
All the best!
Datass
It took me a minute or two to figure out what this comment was in reference to XD
those wipers are useless.................
Haha, they are indeed (unfortunately) Smolex! It's a limitation of the sim at the moment (although it is possible to work around it).
All the best : )
Then wipers are useless af 💀🤣🤣
Haha, they are indeed! Although as has been pointed out, that’s often not entirely unrealistic XD
All the best!
@@IntotheBlueSimulations ayo I've been binged watching ur content for the last couple of days, they're really great and informative. Thanks a bunch for replying m8!
A Ryan air pilot!? Well, nice landing.. "captain´" like dropping a f-ing piano :) i want a refund of the 20 quid i spent for that gin tonic i spilled on my trousers :D Nice video buddy., thanks. Regards from Sweden.
Haha well, we all have our good days and our bad days, Pelle. To be fair, FSRealistic tends to overdramatise the touchdown effects but yeah, it was still a bit of a clunker XD
Glad you enjoyed the video otherwise! No refunds I’m afraid haha, but thanks for watching and all the best! ; )
@@IntotheBlueSimulations Same to you bud :) Take care.
